1.Please provide a description of your organization.
Tails foundation Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our Mission is to help families care for their pets by providing programs and services, resources and education for optimal health and well-being for all pets.
As the population increases, there is a noticeable and growing need for pet care in our community. Due to unforeseen circumstances such as the loss of a job, medical issues, changes in housing or a lack of pet care education, people are often unable to care for their pets. That's how the quest began for the TAILS Foundation Inc and we need your help!
As a non-profit organization, TAILS Foundation Inc. relies on the sponshorship of local businesses like yours to provide support for programs and services such as Food4TAILS (a mobile pet food bank), RainbowTAILS (supporting end-of-life care for elderly pets)and TAILSAcademy (educating the community on basic pet care, training and nutrition).

More people would be able to keep their pets and would decrease homeless animals. Pets will be healthy and pet parents won’t need to seek high dollar medical attention for unnecessary illness and disease that can be prevented by good nutrition. Our goal is to keep pets and their family healthy and happy at home!
