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.

Angel

Hello there, I’m Angel! Are you my cuddle partner? I’m a 6 month old pocket pittie that’s ready to steal your heart and your blankies. I sure am cute with red spots and my freckle face! My foster parents think I’ll be about 40lbs when I’m all grown up. I may be young, but I’m already potty trained and well on my way with crate training. I love to fetch and wrestle! Some of my other skills I’m learning include sit, recall training, leashed walks, and place training. My start with humans was a little tough- I was left in the cold with my fellow pup who didn’t survive. That was very scary, but I’m learning that humans can be kind and give treats! I’m shy at first, but with a little patience I will come out of my shell and melt your heart. I love other dogs! I’ve never met a cat. Very little kids are unpredictable, so I prefer kids that are around 8 or older that can give me some time to warm up. I can’t wait to meet my family! *Angel would do well in a home with other dogs or on her own. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her forever family.

Hi there! I'm Olive, a one year old girl who is part Italian greyhound and part chihuahua! I weigh almost 16 pounds. Everyone says I'm the prettiest girl ever, especially with my very light cream color with a white tip on my tail! In the last few weeks my foster mom and dad have been teaching me about living inside a house, getting attention from people, and going outside to go potty! I still have some accidents but I'm getting the hang of it. My foster mom taught me to sit and shake and she says I'm very smart. I'm a really fast runner but I have to have someone with me because I only want to be beside my person. I'll snuggle up to my foster dad in bed and sometimes I don't want to get up in the morning! I love people of all ages, dogs of all sizes, (as long as they don't try to steal my chewy bone)and cats! I am shy because all this social stuff is new to me so I need a home where my new owner will be patient with me, but I will love them so much! Oh also mom says I'm heartworm negative and up to date on vaccines, whatever that means! Do you want to be my forever person? View full description »

Koopa

Meet Koopa! This pup is curious, playful, and persistent! Koopa loves to explore and to play with his siblings. Though he may fall down a stair, trip over his own feet, or get picked on by a bigger sibling he always gets back up unfazed and ready for another go. And after all that play time he’ll be ready to climb into your lap to crash! We believe he is some kind of Jack Russell Terrier mix, and we estimate that he will be medium sized as an adult. Koopa was born somewhere around January 10, so he’s about 9 weeks old, and has been vaccinated and neutered, so he’s ready to find his forever family. Are you ready to embark on some adventure with one of our Super Mario pups?

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.
