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.

Stormy

Stormy
StormyStormyStormyStormyStormy

Meet Stormy! This handsome young boy was born around 1/30/2024, and he still has all his kitten energy! A domestic shorthair, his beautiful coat looks like the cool blue color of a Russian Blue, and his amber eyes are a striking contrast. Stormy was raised in a loving household and came into foster through no fault of his own. He certainly shows all the signs of a well-loved boy: friendly, playful, talkative, and affectionate. He grew up with dogs in the house and has several funny dog-like habits, like playing tug-o-war with his toys, enjoying car rides, and even walking on a leash! He has done well with cats (especially if they can be patient with his kitten antics!), and great with dogs. He hasn’t been around children much, but his foster mom says he is a very gentle boy and will likely do well. As social as he is, he does not like to be alone too long and would really love to have a furry friend to keep him company. Stormy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He’s so ready to find a forever home that’s as unique and loving as he is! To meet Stormy, please apply at PetTalesrescue.com View full description »

Meet Hondo! Hondo is a white, tan and black Beagle mix, born on 8/16/2024. He is around 20lbs now and is expected to be medium size when full grown. He was owner surrendered through no fault of his own, they just realized they were not able to take care of a puppy. If you are looking for another doggy addition to your family, Hondo is your man! He is an energetic, happy pup who would love a securely fenced home where he has lots of room for play and exercise. He would do well as an only pet, but would also love a four-legged sibling (or two). He has not been tested with cats. Hondo is currently working on leash walking and potty training, and doing great on both. He is good with other dogs and children. He is also crate trained, but sometimes a little vocal about it, which would not make him a good candidate for an apartment. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find his forever home! To meet Hondo, please apply at PetTalesrescue.com View full description »

BruceBruceBruceBruceBruceBruce

Meet Bruce! Bruce is a Gorgeous Blue Nose Pitt, born around the end of September 2023. He is currently 46lbs and isn't expected to get much bigger than what he is now. He was found as a stray in Detroit at just eight months old, and only 12lbs. He was unable to stand or walk on his own. As a result of this, Bruce's penis doesn't go all the way inside, but after his recent surgery, we are happy to report it was almost completely corrected. Despite his hard beginning, Bruce is the sweetest guy! He is happy, playful, goofy and cuddly. He loves meeting new people, would very much prefer to sleep in your bed, loves to cuddle, rides great in the car, good with other dogs and children, fully crate and potty trained, and he has taken a puppy beginner class and did fantastic! He is super smart and a quick learner ( especially when treats are involved ). One of his favorite people is his teacher, so if you would like to continue with his training, he would love to see her again. He has not been tested with cats. He will need to be fed separately, after going without for so long, at meal time, his food is his food. He does not resource guard with any other food or treats, he will happily stand in a crowd and wait while treats are handed out. Bruce is a special guy with a heart of gold. If you open your home and your heart to this sweet boy, you will be rewarded with unconditional love and devotion. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and ready to find his forever home! Apply at pettalesrescue.com View full description »

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.
