About Us

Tails of Hope Animal Rescue is a 501.c.3 non-profit rescue 100% volunteer powered organization that is dedicated to finding forever homes for dogs and puppies that were abandoned. Our outreach is limited due to our available foster space, but we do everything that we can to help pull puppies and dogs from at capacity kill shelters. We generally try to focus on the tristate area, pulling from rural shelters in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, but sometimes are asked to assist with hoarding cases from other parts of the country.

Once a dog or puppy comes into our program, we do age appropriate vetting and work hard to match them with approved homes. We also are dedicated to making sure that each dog and puppy, if age appropriate, that comes through our program is altered so that they don't contribute in the future to the gross pet overpopulation problem that plagues the tristate area. Older puppies and adults are altered before being adopted out, and puppies are required, via our contract, to be altered when they are deemed old enough by a veterinarian.

Tails of Hope Animal Rescue does not have a public facility and do not have the funds or staff to support such a large endeavor. Instead we are a network of loving foster parents that care for our puppies and dogs through the week and meet at the Petsmart on Saturday's for you to meet your new best friend.

Our goal is to put a dent in the amount of dogs euthanized and save just one more. We get over a hundred requests a week asking us to help with at capacity kill shelters. Every week they have to put down both dogs and puppies to make room for the new ones that are being surrendered and abandoned. For every dog that we take, we save two - the one we rescued, and one more for making that space available for another week.
