Programs Supported by Your Donations

SPAY & NEUTER ANGEL PROGRAM (SNAP) ensures that essential veterinary care services of spay/neuter and rabies vaccination are made reasonably available to household pets in our area. A sliding scale fee based on household income is offered to qualified participants. A Military discount is also available.

TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN (TNR) Program provides a critical veterinary package to community (homeless) feral cats who have no home and no potential for a home. TNR is the most humane and effective approach to improve the lives of feral cats, improve their relationships with the people who live near them, decrease the size of colonies over time, and prevent cats from entering shelters in the first place. Services are provided to colony caretakers/trappers at no charge.

AWARENESS & EDUCATION, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, and STUDENT PROGRAMS allow Tails of Hope to create opportunities for members of our community to be better pet guardians, give back to the community, and establish a meaningful career that helps both animals and people in our area.

FURRY DOZEN Program invests your gift into grant writing to multiply your donation and help even more pets and families in our community.

GENERAL DONATIONS are required to keep our doors open, purchase medical equipment/supplies, continue & grow Tails of Hope operations, acquire and retain high-quality staff, and continue vital services for our city shelters, local rescue groups, and individuals in our community who depend on our low-cost or no-cost programs.

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

Since Tails of Hope's (TOH) doors opened in 2017, they have Spayed/Neutered over 15,000 cats & dogs and have prevented millions of pets from abandonment, abuse, homelessness, surrender, or worse. So many more need our help. With many rescues/shelters in the local community reaching maximum capacity, and even turning animals away, organizations like TOH are more vital than ever to combat this crisis.Tails of Hope (TOH) serves dozens of rescues/shelters and thousands of families to address the Root Cause of pet overpopulation and why many animals enter a shelter in the first place. But unlike shelters, we do not receive federal, state, or local funding. Without funding for Spay/Neuter clinics, the suffering of animals and the burdens on shelters will only continue to grow each year
