We are nowhere near this in Sri Lanka but this is such a huge step forward for our dogs and cats 🎉 the fact that this is happening shows there is actually a need for this change.

"Scientists launched a toolkit on Tuesday to assess a dog on 10 traits, called the innate health assessment (IHA). Only dogs that score an eight or above will be permitted to be bred under licensing requirements for official breeders.

The list includes merle colouration, which means a mottled or marbled colouring, wrinkly skin, flat faces, saggy or out-turned eyelids, bulging eyes, under or overbite, no tail, twisted legs, shortened legs and stiff spines.

Studies have shown animals born with these features suffer pain, discomfort and frustration from birth."

Happy Birthday to Our Founder! 🌟

She’s not one to talk about herself, but today we celebrate the heart and soul behind everything we do. 💛

Wishing the happiest birthday to this incredible human who pours her love, time, and strength into every animal that crosses her path. Tails of Freedom and The Little Island Sanctuary simply wouldn’t be what they are without her compassion, commitment, and unwavering tenacity.

Rescue work gives so much—but it also takes a piece of you. We are endlessly grateful for her courage, her empathy, and the way she shows up every single day for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Thank you for leading the way, for inspiring us, and for reminding us what true kindness looks like.
Wishing you all the love, peace, and happiness today and always. 💛🐾

So many people overlook them, but senior rescues have so much love to give — loyalty, trust, and quiet companionship that fills your days with meaning. 💛

This sweet girl found her forever home with a special family and now lives her best life — beach days, hikes, and all the princess treatment she deserves. 👑🐾

When you adopt a senior, you become their world and they become yours. Please consider opening your heart to a senior animal - we promise you won't regret it ❤️

Surpriseee!!!

Miss Pad Thai had been keeping a secret from all of us. Due to her large and cushy body frame and age we never thought to investigate much until she suddenly decided to give birth while she was being checked on a table on the hospital!!!

We think she would have gotten crossed when she was abandoned on the road as she was in heat at the time. Her ear and health were so bad when we picked her up our focus was on getting her better - little did we imagine that we made her this much better 🥹

We now have three beautiful, wiggly lab × Sri lankan breed pups and a very tired but happy mamma.

The pups will be rehomed when they are old enough ( minimum 8 weeks), well socialised and vaccinated 💙 Pad Thai will be rehomed with one of her pups so that this time around she gets to keep at least one of her babies.

The fear of constantly having had her pups taken away is so clear as Pad Thai gets really worried every time someone comes near her pups. The physical and psychological horror breeding mamma's go through is so clear and heartbreaking 💔 of course she never has to go through that again 💙💙

Please keep supporting us and donating as we try to change this one story, one life at a time.

🐾 Growing With Purpose

For 7 years, Tails of Freedom has been run almost entirely by our incredible volunteers — the heart and soul of everything we do. 💚

As we’ve grown and started helping more animals, we’ve realised it’s time to take the next step: bringing a few dedicated people on board who can give consistent time and structure to keep our rescue running strong.

Our volunteers will always be our backbone — this change simply helps us do more, reach further, and care better.

Same mission.
Same heart.
Just growing stronger. 🌿

🔔 ADOPTION ALERT!

It truly breaks our hearts that our sweet boy Baxter is STILL looking for a home 1 whole year later 💔.

As you can see from the video, he is a truly lovely dog- loves cuddles, loves playtime and loves people 🤗!

❎ He would need to be the only pet as he isn't comfortable with other animals.

Even spreading the word would be a much welcome help in rehoming our rescues.

📞 If you have space for Baxter in your heart and home, pretty please call us on 077 243 8249 or 0717204215.

Melvin Has Found His Forever Home! ✨
Our sweet, snorty boy has officially been adopted and our hearts couldn’t be fuller 💛

We were a little surprised that it took him some time to find his match, but we suspect his age may have made a few people hesitate. Thankfully, the right family came along. The one’s who saw beyond the number and fell in love with his gentle soul, goofy charm, and endless snorts 🐶

Now Melvin is living his very best life, soaking up all the rolls, cuddles, and pets he deserves 🥹💙

Here’s to second chances, happy endings, and loving homes for every dog, no matter their age 🏡

Our sweet Sienna found her perfect forever home last week, and we couldn’t be happier for her! 🐾✨
She’s finally living the life she deserves — loved, safe, and free.

We still have Rs. 84,083.30 left to close her vet bill, and we’d be so grateful for any help to settle it. Every little bit goes a long way in helping us continue rescuing others like her. 🙏

Our perpetual motion machine Clementine is still looking for a home urgently 💙

She is a sweetest most energetic doggo you will ever meet. Just a year or so old, Clementine would be amazing in a home with garden space and an active family.

She is NOT a match for homes with other pets and would be happiest as your one and only 💙💙

If you would like to adopt Clementine please call us on 071 720 4215 or 077 243 8249.

Some say “it’s just a dog” —
but to a rescue, you’ll be their whole world. ❤️

When you adopt, you give more than a home —
you give love, safety, and the promise of forever. 🐾
