Tails of Courage

Our Mission

Tails of Courage is a non-profit animal rescue organization committed to rescuing dogs from shelters. We are entirely funded by donations and depend on volunteers.

We do not have a shelter or boarding facility, but instead rely upon foster homes to shelter and nurture our furry friends until a loving forever home is found. We are always happy to answer any questions about adopting a new pet and will gladly provide any support you may need throughout the adoption process.

Each animal is tested, and upon meeting a series of criteria may be chosen for training as a therapy dog for a Soldier at no cost to the military member.

Our organization evaluates, tests, trains, qualifies, and assists therapy dog/handler teams in order to provide loving, nurturing and compassionate visitation in nursing homes, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, senior residences, schools, private homes, military care facilities, and other locations where emotional support dogs are needed for America’s active and veteran military.

Our mission is providing physical and emotional rehabilitation through pet assisted therapy. Our program objectives are as follows: 

• Honoring America’s Soldiers by providing support and encouragement to our service men and women in rehabilitation, through pet assisted therapy, offering hope and inspiration to them, as well as their families. 
• Nurturing, training, and caring for the special dogs that provide therapy or service.
• Promoting and educating others through stories of healing, service, and courage exhibited by these animals, patients, or persons who have served our nation.
