Dalis to the Rescue exists to be a voice for animals that have none, providing critical care and second chances for hundreds of animals each year. Our goal is to educate the community on the responsibilities of pet ownership, ensuring every animal finds a loving home where they can thrive.
Born from the passion of Dalis Hitchcock, owner of D-Tails Dog and Cat Grooming Salon, our rescue began as a local effort to help animals in need. With the support of her partner, David, and our generous community, what started as a small vision has blossomed into a dedicated rescue capable of rehabilitating animals ranging from domestic dogs and cats to exotic birds and reptiles.
We operate as a community-supported rescue where every animal receives essential medical attention, including spay and neuter services, vaccinations, and microchipping. While our cats can be visited at our shelter location in Alma, all of our adoptable dogs are raised in foster homes, ensuring they are well-socialized and prepared for life with their future families.
We believe that successful adoption is a partnership built on education and careful matching. By requiring a completed pre-adoption form and a veterinary reference, we strive to ensure that every placement is a healthy, long-term fit for both the pet and the adopter.
Whether you are ready to welcome a new companion into your life or want to support our efforts, we invite you to connect with us. You can explore our adoptable animals online, visit our Alma location to meet our cats, or support our daily operations through a donation of supplies or funds. Together, we are making a meaningful difference for animals in need.
