Tails is a huge advocate of animal adoption. Both in Canada and the USA animal shelters overflow. Highly adoptable animals live in a shelter or foster home for the rest of their lives, or worse an euthanized due to over-crowding. 

In the Kootenays we are very lucky to have several highly ethical Animal Rescues that do a tremendous amount of good work in our area and beyond. 

For more information on these rescues and the animals they have for adoption, please go to their websites below.

Based in the Rossland/Trail area, with foster homes all over the Kootenays, HEART works hard transporting dogs from overflowing Northern Shelters to the Kootenays for re-homing.

Each year the BC SPCA finds new homes for thousands of animals - dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and so many more!

By making the BC SPCA your adoption option you are helping to ensure that great animals find new homes and have a happy life that they deserve. So many of the animals that come into their care have been surrendered by their previous guardians for different reasons, but deserve a second chance at a new beginning.

If you are looking to find the perfect animal for your family the Trail BC SPCA can help! They have resources available to help you decide what pet might best fit your lifestyle, resources to help you deal with any problems that you may have and information about how to ensure that the pet you choose is not the result of a puppy mill or irresponsible breeder.
