Save the Tails, Inc

Save the Tails, Inc Save the Tails Inc. is a 501c(3) nonprofit, foster-based dog rescue group. Due to the Covid outbreak, all adoption events are cancelled until further notice.

Visit our website to see our dogs and download an editable application at savethetails.org. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer based dog rescue group in Loudoun County, VA. Our dogs come from Baltimore, Southern VA, W.V., and N.C. where the rural shelters are always full and there aren't enough people to adopt. Dogs are not spayed or neutered and without leash laws in these areas there is an overwhelming overpopulation. We fully vet our dogs then re-home them across Maryland and VA.

We are Save the Tails, Inc., a dog rescue group based in Loudoun County, Virginia. We pull dogs from kill shelters and find them homes. In our 10 years of existence we have saved over 900 healthy, beautiful dogs from certain euthanasia and made as many local families very happy. Please help us save them. Right now shelters are full of hopeful dogs in hopeless situations. With YOUR help, WE CAN save them! There is something everybody can do in the community. FOSTER a dog. Provide a temporary sanctuary in your home until a shelter dog can be adopted. This is imperative! Fostering gets dogs out of kill shelters. Fostered dogs are more likely to be adopted. Ours are good dogs; treasures in the ruff just waiting for a kind human to add the sparkle. Fostering is for us FREE and a guaranteed way to save a life. EMAIL [email protected]

ADOPT a dog. Our dogs come to you healthy, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, dewormed and microchipped. Most are already housebroken and ready to go. When you adopt you save 2 lives; the dog you adopt and the one that gets his space at rescue. Our adoption fees are a fraction of what you would pay to buy a dog plus all of the fees go back into the rescue to help save more dogs. EMAIL [email protected]. DONATE. Your donations are critical to our rescue. Every once in a while a dog will come to us heartworm positive, or with an embedded collar; with unforeseen medical costs or in need of a little extra training. These things are costly but a standard part of any rescue. Donations save lives. We are a 501c(3) nonprofit, your donations are eligible for employer matching programs! VISIT savethetails.org to make a tax-deductible donation. VOLUNTEER. Do you have a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday to spend in air conditioned/heated comfort with an adorable dog? Our volunteers are our dogs' advocates; they tell potential adopters about the dog they are handling, plus they get to give belly rubs and treats to our dogs and puppies. We also need transporters to help move our dogs from shelters to foster homes, organize fundraisers and more. EMAIL [email protected]

We need you to save dogs! Shelters are full of wonderful dogs who, without our intervention, don't stand a chance. Save the Tails is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donations are tax deductible and eligible for employer matching programs.

Our Story

We are Save the Tails, Inc., a dog rescue group based in Loudoun County, Virginia. We pull dogs from kill shelters and find them homes. In our 7 years of existence we have saved over 600 healthy, beautiful dogs from certain euthanasia (including all of the dog's in the video) and made as many local families very happy. Please help us save them. Right now shelters are full of hopeful dogs in hopeless situations. With YOUR help, WE CAN save them! There is something everybody can do in the community. FOSTER a dog. Provide a temporary sanctuary in your home until a shelter dog can be adopted. This is imperative! Fostering gets dogs out of kill shelters. Fostered dogs are more likely to be adopted. Ours are good dogs; treasures in the ruff just waiting for a kind human to add the sparkle. Fostering is for us FREE and a guaranteed way to save a life. EMAIL [email protected]

Alumni update! Bailey (who I fondly call Bailey-dog) was adopted by my mom. My dog was feeling a little bored today, so we invited Bailey over for a sleepover. After a few romps, zoomis and a wrestling match, Bailey headed to bed. I thought she was going to chill in the guestroom/ office like she usually does, but nope! She decided to unmake my bed and make herself cozy.

This alum is living her best life!
Adoptable Ollie is sweet and great with other dogs.

Dear Save the Tails,
Thanks for helping me find my forever home…I’m living my best life!!
Love,
Bojangles (adopted March 2018)
UPDATE ZANE!!! This evening we ordered a DNA test for this sweet boy! You may ask, “Why”? 🤔 We want to see how much Cattle Dog this boy has in him so when the time comes to find his home we can confirm what we think we already know…he’s got a LOT of Cattle Dog running through his blood 😍. He has been going through a training program with our friends at Lucky Dogs Training and MORE LLC. When Tracey Triggs got a surrender on Zane she was told he was lab/cattle dog mix but his body shape and EVERYTHING about his personality and traits are Cattle Dog. You may wonder why this matters. It matters because this is a special breed who prefer to have a job and lots of mental and physical activity in order to thrive. We want to make certain we place him into an appropriate family soon!

He is doing well in his training program and making great strides. Katie, Rob, and thier team are working on his resource guarding issues by establishing trust with him. He loves to play on thier obstacle course and sometime down the road may be a great candidate for agility training.

Once the results come in we will post! We will start promoting him for a foster in January once he has gone through a few more weeks of training. Zane is so popular that he has TWO rescue groups advocating for him…. Save the Tails, Inc and us!

Isn’t he just so handsome??? 😍😍😍😍😍

Meet Stella! This pint size pupper is looking for her very own happily ever after!

A family member of a DDB foster talked a neighbor into surrendering a couple puppies they had living outside. They were able to rehome one puppy but still have little Stella. They aren’t in a position to keep Stella but couldn’t leave her to live outside either.

Stella is a pocket pittie mix. She’s only 25 pounds or so at about 5 months old. She is dog friendly but does guard food and toys at home.

Do any of our rescue partners have room for little little girl? She is not spayed yet as we typically wait until 6 months to do that. The foster is able to transport!

Debbie Marson, Save the Tails, Inc
Update Bailey!

Over a week ago Dogs Deserve Better Blue Ridge pulled Bailey out of an outdoor pen. Her owner passed away recently and family members reached out to our rescue friend, Tracey Triggs. Thank you, Tracey, for establishing a good relationship with the family and asking us for help 💙. We LOVE working with you!!!

Today Miss Bailey was transported to her foster (to possibly adopt) family! Thanks to Save the Tails, Inc for finding an amazing home for her. Thanks to Kari Johnson Mueller for giving her a safe place to land. Thank you Monica Good for going out with us to get them. Thanks to Kathy Burns for doing the 2nd leg of transport today and getting our precious girl to her foster home.

Teamwork, ladies … y’all rock 🙌💪🏽🙌💪🏽
TRANSPORT VOLUNTEER NEEDED!!!!

Bailey is headed to her new home with Save the Tails, Inc tomorrow. We are looking for someone to transport her from Keezletown (right outside Harrisonburg) to Front Royal.

Please message below or text me if you can help! 301-697-1774
Meet Bailey! She was surrendered to us this morning. At first, she hid inside of her dog house from me but as soon as I clipped the leash on her collar she ran out of her house ready to go 😂🥰

Her owner recently passed away and the family reached out for help with rehoming. Thanks Tracey Triggs for working with this family and securing the surrender. Thanks Monica Good and Kari Johnson Mueller for your help today and getting her to Harrisonburg Animal Hospital. Bailey will be transferred to a foster home with Save the Tails, Inc sometime this week.

Here is the link to adopt:

Welcome to DDBBR, Rebel and Bailey! 💙💙💙

Monica and Kimberly pulled these two lovely ladies out of their pen today. Monica drove them to meet Kari and she delivered them to Harrisonburg Animal Hospital. Thier person recently passed away and extended family reached out to Tracey for help with rehoming them. We are so happy we were able to help today!

The black and white one is Bailey and she will be going to a foster home through Save the Tails, Inc. Rebel is going to DDBBR foster to adopt mom Robin.

Will post their photos separate. We’ll post the adoption application for Save the Tails with Baileys photos.

UPDATE WINSTON!!

Formerly Maddox, this love was surrendered to us in April with two siblings. They had been living in small pens at a property that was abandoned after a house fire. Our friends at Save the Tails, Inc took sweet Winston in and we just received this update from his adopters.

“We could not love our little guy more, and are so grateful for everyone who loved and cared for him until he was able to find his forever home with us (and three four-legged siblings who love having a younger brother). It’s amazing how much he has blossomed in just two short months from rescue - there’s nothing he loves more than his morning walk followed by a snooze next to my desk!”

These updates make our hearts soar! Winston is absolutely living his best life! ❤️
