To date, RainbowTAILS has helped 23 dogs, 9 cats, 1 bearded dragon and 1 rat cross the Rainbow Bridge.
In honor of Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day on August 28, TAILS Foundation Inc will be hosting a RainbowTAILS fundraiser!
Our RainbowTAILS program helps offer compassionate and caring end-of-life services to limited-income families caring for elderly or terminally ill pets. TAILS Foundation Inc relies solely on the support of our Kootenai County community to help support families during this difficult time and we're asking for your help! To help a family in need, please click on the attached link and follow the instructions. Friends who make a donation to RainbowTAILS, post a photo of a beloved pet AND share our fundraising event on their Facebook page between August 21-August 28 will be entered into a drawing to win a "Family Game Night" gift basket worth $100! |

Euthanasia: How to Know When It's Time
Deciding to put your dog or cat to sleep is a difficult choice to make, and there's rarely a clear-cut answer to when the end is near. By evaluating your pet, you can make compassionate and caring arrangements to minimize the suffering of your four-legged loved one.

Caring For Your Pet After Death
The care of your pet's remains after death is one of the last things you wish to think about while dealing with your grief. The sorrow you feel from losing a pet is difficult to bear. However, after the death
of your pet, there is a decision you will need to make right away. |
Mourning the Loss of Your Pet
Grieving for the loss of your pet is an important part of coping. If you have lost a special animal companion, the emotions can become overwhelming. Take some time out to grieve your loss.
