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]
check out our fostering FAQs below:
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.
