Our efforts are mainly concentrated on animals in high-kill shelters to reduce total euthanizations every year. We also provide spay/neuter services to our local community for unwanted litters. Our founder, Roni Taylor, has been saving animals since she was a teenager. She formalized the rescue in 2011, after her Weimarainer, Lola, passed away. Since then, we have: Successfully placed more than 4,500 animals in forever homes Drastically reduced the number of unwanted litters and homeless animals who were being euthanized Provide education on the importance of spaying/neutering and info on local low-cost or free resources Went from saving large & giant breeds to taking in all cases who need our help and care All of our animals are in foster homes, as we are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Thus we want to consistently increase our number of fosters and volunteers to save more lives. We are always open to support from local businesses & individuals -- financial donation, dog/cat food, animal supplies (crates, leashes, collars, etc.) or even sharing us on social media. We operate solely on the donations and support from our community. We are very proud of this relationship and hope to increase it as we continue growing as a rescue. Check out more info on us in this article from Mile High Dog.

We are Wayne County's Humane Society and animal control. We are staffed by 2 full-time employees and a part-time employee. We also have volunteers that walk animals and socialize cats. We care for the animals because we are a rural area and there are a lot of strays and unwanted animals. We do our jobs because we want a better life for these animals. We want to place them in loving forever homes.

The new shelter opened in February 2010. At that time , the Shelter manager had resigned and no new person had been hired. FCHS volunteers were instrumental in the move from the old shelter to the new one. We were still not entirely welcomed or appreciated, but the PD needed us and therefore encouraged us to participate. With the new shelter came new opportunities. Adoptions soared with additional traffic to the new clean facility. Unfortunately so also did intake. In April 2010 a new shelter manager was hired. Unfortunately, old procedures continued to plague the operations and many foster homes were added to try to keep as many animals as possible alive long enough to find them adopters or rescue. It was a trying time. Managers came and went and so did our volunteers. Many found it too discouraging to try to save an animal and then find out it was put to sleep just because it had been on the books for too many days. Volunteers dropped out like flies. Foster homes disappeared. Only a few die hards remained. The writing was on the wall. Finally the PD realized that the politics of running a humane shelter was a nightmare for them and in 2016 they asked the Humane Society to take over operations. Although this had been suggested several times before, the HS had not been in a position to accept due to shortage of funds. A wonderful bequest from a cat loving citizen who died in 2015 made it possible to accept the responsibility of running the shelter. The rest, as they say, is history. We took over operations on January 1, 2017. Although many predicted that we would fail, in fact, even hoped for it, we proved them wrong. Through our leadership the shelter has become one of the most progressive in the state.

We are Tails of the Unwanted. We started this rescue group to provide dogs and cats a chance at a new start in life. Our animals go into foster homes to become acclimated in home life after leaving the chaos of the shelter environment. We love our animals like they are our own and give them the highest care possible.
