Tails Humane Society is dedicated to building a compassionate community through the care of companion animals. We believe in providing every animal with the time and medical attention they need to find their perfect, loving forever home.
Established in 1999 by a group of local animal advocates, our organization has grown from humble beginnings in a farmhouse to our dedicated facility on Barber Greene Road in DeKalb. We serve as a vital resource for our community, offering not just a safe haven for displaced pets, but also affordable services like our spay/neuter clinic and positive reinforcement training to support long-term pet-owner happiness.
As a managed admission shelter, we prioritize the individual needs of every animal in our care, ensuring each has the best chance at a successful adoption. We rely on a dedicated team of foster families and shelter staff to provide essential support for animals who are not yet ready for a permanent home, such as nursing mothers and those needing extra medical attention. This holistic approach ensures that every pet receives the comfort and stability they deserve.
Adoption is a wonderful journey, and we are here to ensure it begins on the right foot. We take care to consider factors like your lifestyle and household to help you find a companion who is the perfect fit. Our adoption process is designed to be a thoughtful, joyful experience where you can spend meaningful time with your future family member.
Are you ready to find your new best friend? We invite you to view our adoptable animals online or visit us at the shelter to meet our residents in person. Join us in our mission to save lives and make a difference in our community today!
