About Us

Tails of Hope Dog Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), non-specific breed rescue made up of dedicated dog lovers. We have a network of families and individuals that provide foster care for rescue dogs and puppies until they can be adopted into loving, responsible homes. We focus on medical cases and those dogs or puppies with the most need.

Tails of Hope Dog Rescue’s purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abused, abandoned, surrendered, neglected, and unwanted dogs and puppies. Tails of Hope Dog Rescue pulls from many local kill shelters in and around the Memphis, TN area. All of our adoptable pets are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, dewormed, have a negative heartworm test result, and are current on heartworm and flea prevention, and microchipped. If a dog comes to Tails of Hope Dog Rescue with a positive heartworm test, the pet is treated prior to pet adoption. All medical records are provided in a packet at the time of adoption.

Our History

Tails of Hope Dog Rescue was founded in 2010 in the Memphis, TN area and has saved over 1,700 rescue dogs with the help of countless volunteers and foster families! We couldn't do it without them!

Fostering Saves Lives

Foster families are critical to our mission. All of our dogs live with foster families until they are healthy and ready to be adopted. If you're interested in becoming a foster family, please apply to be a foster family. Get answers to commonly asked questions about fostering from our Fostering Q&A.
