Mission Statement
Border Tails Rescue's mission is to eliminate the need for euthanasia of homeless dogs by providing shelter and arranging loving homes for adoptable dogs through partnerships with animal service facilities throughout our local area, on a national level through partnerships with animal service facilities in other states and internationally through partnerships with facilities in Mexico and other underserved areas. Additionally, through education, community outreach and our spay neuter program, Border Tails Rescue seeks to reduce the overpopulation of homeless dogs. Border Tails Rescue does not discriminate against any breed, age, size or ability and takes on many complicated medical cases regularly.
