Tails of the Uwanted pulls urgent dogs off of death row, vets them and then looks for rescues/private adopters for these animals. We predominantly pull from high kill rural shelters in North Carolina and Virginia. We have a foster network in North Carolina where the majority of out animals are located.
North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, DC and Maryland The majority of our animals are located in foster homes in and around Salisbury, NC and Hampton Roads area of VA but we will transport to any of the other locations for an approved adopter.

Additional adoption info

All puppies and adult dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on shots, HW tested and microchipped prior to adoption. 100% of all fees go back into the rescue to rescue and vet additional dogs.
