About Tail To Paw Animal Support

Tail to Paw is an all volunteer organization started out of a pure and unconditional love for animals and their people. It is our firm belief that no one should ever be denied the opportunity to experience and live with the love a companion animal provides due to their level of poverty, type of housing or physical or mental health.

Our goal is to be able to provide food, supplies (litter, leashes, bowls, etc.), medicine (flea/tick, supplements, etc.), medical assistance and educational support to households with low-income or who are experiencing temporary hardship so that they do not have to give up their pets to a shelter.

We provide education regarding vaccinations, pet nutrition, behavior, working with landlords and spaying/neutering in the effort to ensure that more pets are able to stay at home with their families.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
