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!

Find Your New Best Friend

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

Hello there! I'm Lucy, a cream colored miniature poodle. I'll be 11 years old in a few weeks. I'm spayed, heartworm negative and I'm up to date on vaccines. I'm a very quiet, shy girl, and am learning to trust people after spending my whole life in a puppy mill in Arkansas. My foster mom is teaching me about being loved, and I sleep all snuggled up with her all night long. She's working with me on potty training and how to sit and shake. I get along with small and medium size dogs, and love to follow my poodle brother around outside. My dream home would be with someone who is home most of the time and will spend lots of time with me. Mom says I also must be allowed to sleep with my new mom. I would like another dog to be my companion and to play outside with me in nice weather. I'm pretty good with cats too so my new home can have a cat. Mostly, I just want to feel safe and loved! Apply at pettalesrescue.com View full description »

Meet Turtle! Look at that face. This pretty girl is a typical happy, energetic pup. At 6 months turtle's favorite pastime is playing with her toys, stretching her legs in the yard or at the park, and then curling up with her foster sister or human. She is very teachable and is working on the basic commands, leash training, and is mostly house trained. She would do well with someone who is home part of the day. If you think you have the perfect home for turtle we'd love to hear from you. Please fill out the online application at www.pettalesrescue.com to set up a meet and greet. Turtle is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchippped. View full description »

Meet Alice-She is an 8 month old red & white Beagle. She is about 15 pounds and probably is close to her fully grown weight. She is excellent with kids and dogs and hasn’t met any cats. She did spend her first 7 months of life in a puppy mill so she is timid when meeting new people and animals. However, she warms up quickly and can be won over quickly with something yummy to eat. In fact, she will even help you clean your floors of any crumbs you drop, she is a very food oriented girl. She is still learning about the world so she needs an owner who would be willing to work with her on learning that the world is a fun, safe place. She needs a little work on manners as well but responds quickly when corrected. She is progressing well with house training. If kept on a strict schedule she knows to only go outside. She loves to chew and shred rope toys and loves to play tug with her canine foster brother. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is ready to meet you.

Pet overpopulation leads to thousands of unnecessary deaths each year.

The Pet Tales Journey

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.

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.
