Our Mission

The mission of Tails of Tallassee Rescue (TOTR) is to advance the welfare of dogs, whether from local shelters, substandard conditions, or from an owner faced with an impossibly hard decision. Our animals are placed in loving foster homes to decompress, receive veterinary care, and to prepare for adoption. The foster-based model prevents dogs from deteriorating due to kennel stress in a typical shelter setting.

While in the care of TOTR, dogs receive daily care, medical attention, socialization, training and rehabilitation if necessary. The ultimate goal is adopt them into permanent, responsible, compatible homes, thereby advancing animal welfare and reducing unnecessary euthanasia.
