The team, which consists of all ages and abilities, welcomes newcomers as we help raise money to spay/neuter stray animals in Fairfield County. TEAM TAILS will be taking part in the (September 29th, 2019) Bigelow Community Challenge 5K (3.1 mile) Road Race, 2 mile Non Competitive Walk, and - for the younger participants - the Kids' 100 yard Scamper, 880 yard Jog and 1 mile Run.
By obtaining personal pledges from sponsors, we hope to raise desperately needed funds for T.A.I.L.S. Spay/Neuter Programs. We have spay/neutered over 200 animals already this year and we need financial assistance to keep up the great pace of animal lifesaving!! Can you join us and let your feet help animals? All donations are tax-deductible and 100% of all proceeds will go directly to T.A.I.L.S. Spay/Neuter Programs.
In addition to knowing you are helping to save animals here in Fairfield County you will get a race tshirt and fabulous goody bag! We welcome everyone - walkers, runners, kids - and are not a competitive team - our only competition is to spay/neuter as many animals as possible. Please join us! For more information about joining please sign up here: https://tailsct.z2systems.com/np/admin/event/eventDetails.do?id=1809 or email us at info@tailsct.org
We will take care of registering you for the race, getting your shirt, packet and bib number - just make sure to click the signup link to let us know you want to be part of the team!
Thanks!

Mission Statement
The mission of T.A.I.L.S. is to serve the community as a charitable organization that promotes spay/neutering of animals and provides financial support to humane organizations and individuals in pursuit of this goal. We are dedicated to vigorously promoting and educating the community about the importance of spay/neuter to reduce, and eventually elimnate, the killing of unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals.
Description
TAILS is an all-volunteer, stand-alone, spay/neuter organization based in Fairfield County. Put simply, TAILS funds and promotes spaying and neutering to save dogs and cats from being born into a world where there already aren't enough homes.
Formed in 2001, TAILS has grown each year thanks to the many volunteers who have come out and made our events successful. A tax exempt, 501(c)3 we welcome anyone who cares about our furry friends to come out and help us make a difference!
In November 2014, we took over the cat adoption space at the Petco-Norwalk location at 650 Main Ave (next to WalMart and Staples) and in 2017 we moved into the Westport Petco adoption space as well. Our primary focus is still spaying and neutering... .However, we are not a shelter so rely on our Petco adoption space and foster homes to help save cats we come across during our work on the streets. We desperately need help with fostering cats/kittens and help with our daily cat caretaking at both Petco stores we are in.
For a snapshot of our work (and how busy we are), in 2022 we spay/neutered approximately 650 dogs and cats and adopted 222 cats into loving homes.
We cannot do it without the help of our community. We are all volunteers ourselves - trying to help make our neighborhoods better for our furry friends. Can you help?
Thank you.
