Kate received an email today and I wanted to post it here to show support. We used Tails of Hope Sanctuary when we adopted our 1.5 yr old German Shepherd, Loki, and they were fantastic to work with. The wonderful folks at Tails of Hope take a proactive approach towards pet adoption and have forged contacts through a deep network of shelters and foster homes. If you “just want a dog”, they’ll have one ready to be adopted. If you’re looking for a specific type or have specific requirements (cat-friendly, child-friendly, breed etc), they will probably have one for you, and if not, they’ll find one. From our experience in working with them, it’s very clear that they love animals and truly care for their well-being.

Here’s a recent picture of Loki, he came from a shelter in Grafton, WV via Tails of Hope Sanctuary. He was dropped off overnight and only had one day left because they were full. We only saw two pictures of him and decided to take a chance! He was a little malnourished and had a skin infection in his paws, which our vet cleared up with some antibiotics. He is now very healthy and extremely strong. He’s very loyal (he’s taken it upon himself to be the Watchdog); he’s also lot of fun (excels at frisbee and a pretty good wrestler!), and he gets along great with our two other dogs Jake and Star.
And he’s camera-friendly.
I can almost guarantee you that whoever took this picture had some food. Yeah, I know, the chandelier in the background is ugly.
Where’s Jake? Probably sleeping.
