Tall Tails Rescue is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the dogs of the City of Wagoner. We assist dogs in distress of any age or breed, to the extent that our finances will allow. We also volunteer hours a day at the city shelter working to rehabilitate the abused and injured dogs. In hopes, that one day, we can find them loving homes. We focus on rehabilitating the dogs into quality dogs so that they become adopted and stay adopted. Tall Tails members and officer Bo Henson work to get the dogs acclimated to as many environments as possible so that a safe and correct placement can be made each and every time. Before adoption each dog is spayed or neutered and receives all appropriate veterinary care and treatment. Our adoption process includes references, vet checks, meet and greet, (with the dog in a neutral location), home check, application and contract. If all requirements are met, you make a non-refundable donation in the form of an adoption fee that goes towards saving other dogs. Our group is completely volunteer and foster based. We do this for our community and for the love of the animals. We hope to continue to educate adopters by encouraging responsible pet ownership. We work tirelessly to break down the stereotype that "shelter dogs" are broken.
