Rescued Tails Animal Sanctuary

Rocco is thankful for the sunshine to snooze in on these colder days!
And we are thankful for everyone who donates to, adopts or fosters homeless animals!
Rocco is a great example of the animals we have rescued and cared for over the years.
From living in a dumpster at a local landfill to enjoying the comforts of a warm home, Rocco has come such a long way and has made a lot of progress. He was so scared at the landfill that no one could catch him, and we had to live trap him. He was growling, snarling and looked like he wanted to eat us... all based on fear.
It took us 5 days before we could even touch him.
Thank you to all of you who have helped make so much possible here at Rescued Tails!.. and good boy, Rocco!!

Fred went to his foster home today, and he now has his own recliner! He has lots of cat trees to hang out in and seems pretty content.
All paws crossed his foster mom falls in love and makes it official. Thank you, Theresa, for opening up your home to Fred!!

Hey everyone!
Fred here...
I was at Northern Lakes Veterinary Clinic Shell Lake today to get a vaccination and met, Dawn!
She is super cool, and said she was going to "check at home" about possibly adopting me!
Whoa, I am sooooo excited!
Everyone here at Rescued Tails are really nice... but as you can see I really want to be in a home!
If anyone out there can share these photos with Dawn then she can show them off at home.
All paws crossed...

Since Mabel is in a bit of a pickle with her damaged knee along with signs of canine cognitive dysfunction (doggie dementia) we thought we would give her one of her Xmas gifts early... a Christmas pickle! Good girl, Mabel!

Meet Fred!
This guy is as sweet as can be and even rolls over for belly rubs! He is pretty chill and enjoys good conversation. Fred just started hanging around the sanctuary and was in need of some vet care so we obliged. Thanks to Northern Lakes Veterinary Clinic Shell Lake for getting Fred in so quickly and Dr. Leiterman for neutering him the same day!
Fred is ready to find his forever home and will make a wonderful companion!
