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.

Meet Mira! Mira is a 1 year old pittie weighing in at 55lbs. Mira was recently returned due to her mom being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and no longer being able to care for her. Mira’s whole world is turned upside down. She is struggling with the change and just wants a family to call her own. She loves little kids too! Mira loves nothing more than to be by your side, she does have some anxiety about being left alone but has done well with short trips. Due to the stress of the transition, we think Mira should be an only dog for now. Once she is settled, we believe she could have doggy friends. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to meet you. Apply at pettalesrescue.com View full description »

Meet Hazel! She is a 1 year old, gorgeous pittie, weighing about 40lbs. Hazel loves playing with other dogs. She adores kids, and has been great with a 3 and 5 year old. She also rides well in the car and is potty trained. Hazel does have separation anxiety and would prefer a home with someone who is home most of the time. She is able to escape a normal crate, so would need a heavy duty crate if she is left alone. She is a pup that will greet you with the happiest hops, have the biggest snuggles, and add so much warmth to her new home. Please consider giving her a new home! She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to meet you! Apply at pettalesrescue.com View full description »

Hi there, I'm Havoc! A short hair male tabby born mid July. Don't let my name fool you, I'm as sweet as a summer peach. I ended up at the shelter because of my passion for...well, toilet paper. Yes, you heard right. I may have unravelled a few (or a lot) rolls at my foster home. I thought it was the best game ever, but my humans didn't seem to share my enthusiasm. So, here I am, looking for a new playmate. If you don't mind investing in some extra loo rolls and love a good laugh, I'm your guy! Adopt me and let's create some playful chaos together! Good with kids and cats Havoc is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home. Apply at pettalesrescue.com View full description »

History

Meet History! This soft as silk grey tabby is part of the university crew. A group of students was surprised to find a box of 7 kittens left on their porch of their campus housing. Thankfully they were able to get them safely into rescue before these kitties found themselves in anymore danger. History is the talkative sister. She is interested in being a part of anything you are doing. She meows and peeps when she is looking for attention. She loves to be held or to sit in your lap. Her favorite things are playing with her siblings and chasing after toys. She seems to have a special attraction to spring toys. She loves people, other kittens, and the few children she has met. She hasn’t met a dog yet, but we are confident she will do just fine with a proper introduction. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home.

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.
