Meet Shamrock!
Her green-yellow eyes match the soft fields in Ireland but this kitty hasn't had the luck of the Irish. She's been at TAILS for quite a few months and would love a Forever Home.
 
She's a small, young domestic short haired cat who, when she was found as a stray, had just three complete legs.To her, it's not a disability at all. Her left rear leg is missing from the hock down. 
 
She's a darling who loves to play and cuddle. Please come to TAILS and meet sweet Shamrock! As the Irish song goes, she's "sure to steal your heart away."

   Coming soon!

Announcement:
TAILS lowers adoption fees, effective immediately
Cats (6 months & older) $75
Kittens (younger than 6 months) $95
Dogs (6 months & older) $150
Puppies (younger than 6 months) $295*
Little Critter fees vary by species
*plus a $75 obedience class fee - if adopter attends TAILS obedience classes, this fee will pay for the classes. If the adopter chooses to attend obedience classes at another location,the fee will be refunded with proof of graduation.
In order to encourage adoptions during this difficult economic time, we have reduced the adoption fee for all our pets. We realize that, as fuel costs increase, it is taking a greater toll on everyone's finances. But in spite of the economic difficulties (in fact, partly because of them - we're experiencing an even greater influx of animals as some owners are forced to give up their pet(s) because they can no longer afford to keep them), we must still find Forever Homes for 1,500 pets every year. We are confident that our community will continue to think of TAILS first when looking for a new family member and we hope the reduced adoption fees will make that choice even more clear.
Please remember that when you make the choice to bring any new pet into your family, you will need to have the financial resources to provide routine veterinary care through your regular veterinarian on at least an annual basis.
Remember, our adoption fees include:
All dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are spayed or neutered prior to being made available for adoption.
  • up-to-date vaccinations
  • heartworm test (dogs 6 months and older)
  • feline leukemia and feline AIDS test (cats)
  • deworming
  • one month free pet health insurance
  • microchip
  • free veterinary exam
All of these services performed by your veterinarian would cost upwards of $250 for a male cat, over $300 for a female cat and well over $400 for a female dog or puppy!
The TAILS ADOPTION FEE IS A GREAT DEAL!!

Shorty & Sweety Meet Again!
 
Both rescues from the Rochelle hoarding and now living with their adopted families, Shorty, the dauchshund, and Sweety, the collie, meet at the Dog Days of Summer event. It's almost been one year since the hoarding rescue took place.
 
We're collecting short updates and photos (in .jpg) about these wonderful and fortunate pets. The stories will be posted on the website to mark the One Year Birthday of these dear pets to their new lives.
 
Please send to TailsLane@aol.com and put Rescue in the subject line.
