PLEASE HEAR ME OUT… I would love to share with you a little about what we do. Our goal is to keep dogs with special needs out of shelters. Four years ago, we had a pup born with a congenital bone disorder. I named her Diva Mae. The vet recommended we consider euthanizing because of her condition. That was a very difficult decision. She seemed healthy but, she just could not walk. I began feeding h

er with a dropper, and then moved onto a bottle, and later a bowl. Specialist were amazed by her perky attitude and walking development by her next appointment! She inspired me so much that I decided to help other dogs with disabilities or in abusive situations. We did not have the funds on our own to support this level of rescue, because we are privately owned and not government funded. So, I decided proceeds made from all of my artwork, face painting, and flipped furniture would go directly toward rescuing dogs who could not help themselves. I call it Paint 4 Paws. We became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and 100% of any proceeds goes towards rehabilitating and caring for our rescued dogs. You'll often see us set up at craft shows, fairs and festivals. If you do please stop by and say hi and let me know you follow us. I have been a E911 Dispatcher for the past 23 years. My co-workers knows my passion for animals, so we remain on-call when dogs are left in bad situations. One of the most incredible impacts is seeing how others have begun to spring into action also, and help us rescue animals in need. Together, we have rehabilitated abandoned dogs, abused dogs, handicapped dogs, starving dogs, parvo pups, and dogs involved in criminal activity. We work with our rescued dogs in a home environment to develop trust, safety, and nutrition until they are healed, confident, and ready to be placed in their forever homes. Their fees are almost always free to vetted and approved homes. We go through between 350-500 lbs. of dog food a week. We are always in need of food, bowls, towels, blankets, cleaning supplies, toys, beds, training gear, crates and treats. There are several ways that you can help us fulfill our mission. Remember donations are tax deductible! I cannot express our gratitude for any help that you may provide. Our EIN is available upon request. PayPal [email protected]

🐾 Say Hello to Mr. B & Red! 🐾

They were abandoned several months ago. Mr. B is a Beagle and Red is a hound. They are both super friendly, good with other dogs, and kids, but not tested around cats. Both boys love to hunt and roam the hills. So if you’ve got a young hunter on your hands this could be a great opportunity to train.

Mr. B and Red are free of charge to an approved home. But, of course donations are always needed to keep the rescue going. If you’re interested in adopting or fostering either or both Mr. B or Red message us now for further details and/or to arrange a meet and greet!!

Our Story

Thompson Tails Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization 501 (c)(3) that provides a foster based program to rescue German Shepherd and high-mix dogs from shelters, where they are at a high risk of being euthanized. We provide an owner referral program that works with owners who need to find a new home for their dog. Many of our K-9s will be trained and added into our therapy program which will visit nursing homes and hospitals. Our shepherds provide the needed comfort, emotional and support therapy to residents and patients. We are currently developing a program which will use our handicapped dogs to help eliminate the hateful bullying so many youngsters experience in our schools today.

One day we hope to have a large facility that will allow us to expand our goals even further. Until that time we rely on the rehoming fees of our AKC puppies and YOUR donations. We are always in need of dog food, dog bowls, towels, blankets, toys, beds and treats. There are several ways that you can help us fulfill our mission. Remember donations are tax deductible!
