Pet Tales Rescue is a network of fosters and volunteers that work to find the perfect homes for animals in need.

Our cats and dogs are housed in foster homes and treated like family. This gives us the advantage of getting to know each one as an individual; once we have an understanding of their specific personality and needs, we can find them the perfect home!

How it Works

Find Your New Best Friend

Our mission is to match pets with their perfect forever family.

Elway

Meet Elway – Your New Best Friend! This handsome boy has been through a lot, but he hasn’t let it dim his loving spirit! Found as a stray by some caring people, Elway was brought to our rescue with an injured rear leg which, after a vet visit, we found it was a mild sprain. With plenty of TLC, he’s on the mend and ready to find his forever home. Being named after a famous Denver Broncos Quarterback, he has some big shoes to fill, and we are sure he will do just that! Despite his past, Elway is as friendly as can be, although his confidence could use a little help. It seems maybe he wasn't treated very nicely in the past because he is scared of certain things, like a broom, for one example. He absolutely loves being pet and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. He even rolls over for belly rubs & adores sweet talk. His gentle, affectionate nature makes him the perfect companion for anyone looking for a sweet and loyal friend. Elway has not been tested around other cats or dogs so we are unsure of how he will react but he has been around older childen in his foster home and does great! He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and combo tested negative. His approximate birthdate is 3/21/22, and is a big guy at 12.5#. Are you ready to give Elway the safe and loving home he deserves? Come meet him today, you'll be happy you did! Apply at PetTalesrescue.com View full description »

Valentine Little Cows Momma

Meet Valentine! This sweet mom did the best job raising her 9 puppies and is ready for a home of her own. She is currently 65lbs, about 2-3 years old, and guessed to have some pointer, lab, and maybe pittie mixed in there. Valentine is incredibly gentle and has a sweet, calm demeanor. It is clear she had a very rough start and is starting to learn what is it to be a loved family member. She walks well on a leash, rides well in the car, and has done well with other dogs that are calm and respectful. She came to the rescue extremely malnourished and is still learning that she does not have to guard her food anymore. She is potty trained, crate trained, and has done well being left out alone. She does the cutest tippy taps when it’s meal time, it’s her favorite time of day! She is going to make a great addition to someone’s family!

The Pet Tales Journey

Our Process

1. Rescue

When we’re contacted about an animal in need, we work quickly to determine the best course of action. If that course means coming into our rescue, we mobilize right away to secure the animal and place it safely within a foster home.

Pet Tales Rescue | Finding the Perfect Homes for Animals in Need

4. Sterilization

Spaying and neutering is something we feel very strongly about here at Pet Tales. EVERY animal we take in is fixed (sterilized) prior to finding their new home. We work hard to educate our community about the benefits of neutering their pet, and we believe this type of education is key to reducing pet overpopulation and overall shelter numbers.

2. Foster

Once we’ve successfully placed the pet within a foster home, the road to adoption begins! Their new foster will make sure they’re comfortable, clean, and given ample decompression time. From there, the foster will evaluate their personality and assess their specific needs.

5. Find a Home

The best part of all! Once our foster pets are ready mentally and medically, we begin the process of finding them the perfect forever-home. This begins with potential adopters filling out our online application. Once we have screened the applicant and determined whether their lifestyle seems like a good fit for the desired animal, we set up a meet and greet. If the meetup is successful and both parties are in agreement about adopting the pet, we finalize the adoption!

3. Screening & Treatment

We waste no time having new foster animals seen by a veterinarian! They are thoroughly checked over, tested for various ailments (such as parasites or heartworm), and vaccinated appropriately.

6. Follow Up Support

When you adopt a pet from us, you are NEVER alone! Our ultimate goal is to unite our fosters with their perfect family, and for them to spend a lifetime together. To ensure this goal is met, we will provide continuous support and advice whenever needed, for the life of your pet.

Happy Tales

“This is my little girl Vera. I adopted her from Pet Tales in April 2019. She had the same rough start that Luna had. Pet Tales took great care of her. She had many teeth removed and also one eye. She is spoiled rotten and I love her so much.”

– Pat Clark-Saur

“This is Rozie. We rescued her 5 years ago from Pet Tales. She is the sweetest dog we have ever had. At 1 year old she became part of a pet therapy group called Pet A Pet. We primarily go to Beaumont Hospital – Taylor, MI. She loves visiting the patients. We have been so blessed to have this sweet girl as part of our family. Thank you to Pet Tales for all of the hard work you put into rescuing these animals.”

– Jenny King Baugh

“Our Sweet Peanut….adopted this past summer (2020). An amazingly sweet girl, who loves any and all attention. She has completed our little family more than we could have ever hoped! Thank you so much, Pet Tales for our sweet girl”

– Kevin & Becky Thompson

Pet Tales Rescue was established in 2010…

By people who had spent several years volunteering with other rescues. They decided to take their many years of knowledge and experience out on their own to help find homes for abused and abandoned pets. We are committed to finding loving, permanent homes that will provide the love, companionship, and quality care that every animal deserves.
