Tending Animals In Loving Safety (T.A.I.L.S) has a mission to provide needy animals with proper care and rehabilitation. We provide sanctuary for animals with special needs. Our goal is to rescue neglected and abused animals; place adoptable animals in qualified homes; and to educate people on how to properly care for their animals.
We believe that it is important for horses and people to interact. It has been proven time and again how therapeutic it can be for both horses and people to be around each other. TAILS has programs that work with at risk youth as well. We currently work with schools, particularly in the Cave Creek School District by taking horses to the schools and allow children to participate and integrate with the "Character Counts" Programs conducted by the schools. We see the effect and the changes of at risk youth when exposed to the animals. Children and adults come to our ranch to learn about horses and see first hand what they have endured and how they have improved.
We are working diligently to expand these programs but need public support to expand and get more of these programs in place and accessible to the public.
The horses at TAILS are all candidates for our "Sponsor A Horse" program. Sponsoring a horse helps with the care of that animal, i.e.: feeding, veternary bills, special needs, etc. As a sponsor you will receive a picture and history of that animal, along with the personal reward and sense of accomplishment that you have contributed to the well being of these animals.
Sponsorships are available from $25 to $100 per month, depending on the particular needs of the horse but all contributions are welcomed.
Many of the horses are adoptable and we take extensive measures in the adoption process to ensure that a good match exists for the horse and the adopter.
Please contact us for addional information, fund raising merchandise, and possible volunteer efforts which are always needed.
TAILS is a 501 (c) 3 non profit corporation and all donations, gifts, sponsorships, and contributions are tax deductible.
