TAILS Pet Fest - April 17th & 18th, 2010
Puppies (lots!), Dogs, Kittens, Cats, Bunnies & even lil' critters!

Thanks for coming to the event – we were able to place or foster 109 animals! The remaining 21 returned with the great folks at the no-kill shelter Colbert Veterinary Rescue where they will live comfortably until coming up for our next event (TBD when)! We look forward to seeing pictures and hearing the great stories of all of the new furry, four legged family members out there!

TAILS will be hosting over 100 family friendly animals at our upcoming Pet Fest on April 17th & 18th! This event will be similar to our very successful Puppy Palooza event which was held in January '10 - except this time we're broadening the types of animals included (now we're including little critters!). The event will be held Saturday, April 17th from 9:30-4:30pm and Sunday, April 18th from 10:00-2:00pm at Best Friends Pet Care, 528 Main Ave, Norwalk, CT.

If you're interested in adopting an animal - please follow the instructions listed below.

For a puppy or a dog: (please read all bullet points)

• To view the puppies/dogs and/or to put an application in to adopt, please click here. Please note that there are so many puppies (and dogs) coming to this event that they are not all listed online so coming to the event will give you the best overview.
• fill out an adoption application completely and submit early. The application is an electronic, online submission form - so no faxing, PDF'ing, scanning, etc! - and can be completed by clicking here. Submitting this ahead of time will allow you to bypass having to wait to do so at the event. It's a significant time savings and gives you the clear advantage if you and someone else (who is not approved) are interested in the same animal. If you chose not to fill out the online adoption form or if you are reading this after Friday, April 16th at Noon: you can download a paper copy of the application here to bring with you. If you do not plan on filling out an adoption application ahead of time - please bring reference information with you (including phone numbers which are usable during the weekend) and be prepared to wait. Applications are accepted onsite and forms will be available there as well. (Bottom line: it's much, much better if you fill out & submit the adoption form online… :)
• BRING WITH YOU TO THE EVENT: all other dogs in your household (mandatory) and all people who will have significant care responsibilities for the puppy/dog. You might also want to bring a copy of your submitted online adoption form. Get to the event as early as possible - adoptions are done on a first come, first serve basis based on approved applications.
• Adoption fee: There is a $300 adoption fee for puppies/dogs. Broken down this is actually a bargain as you will get a loving, family friendly pooch who has been spay/neutered (typically $250+ at least), rabies & distemper shots (age appropriate; roughly $60), microchip ($30), heartworm testing and deworming ($75)…plus the costs associated with feeding, loving and rescuing these love bugs.

For a Kitten/Cat:

• To view the kittens/cats please check back soon - there will be lots of cats and kittens however so not all of them will be listed.
• Application forms will be available onsite at the event.
• BRING WITH YOU TO THE EVENT: all people who will have significant responsibilities for the kitten/cat.

For a Little Critter (bunny, guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, etc):

• To view the little critters please check back here for a link soon. Please note that there may be additional animals available for adoption who are not online so coming to the event you will see more!
• BRING WITH YOU TO THE EVENT: all people who will have significant responsibilities for the little critter.

If you have specific questions relative to the event or a particular animal, please feel free to email us at info@tailsct.org or call (203)222-1992. For downloadable versions of applications please click here).

As a spay/neuter organization, TAILS uses these events to highlight the importance of spaying and neutering animals to save lives. These animals are not even a blip on the radar screen relative to the 4-5 million whom are killed each year in shelters simply because there isn't enough room. So although all of these animals have been spay/neutered already - please remind your family and friends to do the same with their pets.

For further information, please email us at info@tailsct.org or call at (203)222-1992.

TAILS to join in Cannondale Animal Clinic's 10th Anniversary!

Join TAILS at the Cannondale Animal Clinic's 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, March 21st from 11:30-3pm as we help to place 12-15 dogs (8 of which are 8wk old puppies!) and sweet, homeless cats. Pictures of the puppies are on the poster and each can be met at the event along with the other dogs and cats. The dog adoption application can be found by clicking here, and the cat application by clicking here. It is highly suggested that you submit your application ahead of time, as the event is a first come, first serve and those who arrive early or are pre-approved are way ahead of the game. If you decide to wait until day-of to submit an application, please make sure you don't forget your reference's contact information.

For each dog there will be a $300 adoption fee, $100 of which is refundable by TAILS when you bring the dog back to get it spay/neutered at Cannondale (Spay/neutering is required of each animal adopted). If you are adopting a second dog into your family, please bring your current furry (canine) family members along with you to the adoption event for an introduction (outside).

For further information, please email us at info@tailsct.org or call at (203)222-1992. To print a copy of the flyer please click here.

TAILS PUPPY PALOOZA – A SUCCESS!

Highlights & TESSA!

TAILS Puppy Palooza was a great success – thanks to everyone who chose to adopt and save a life as well as all of our volunteers who made the event happen! We hope all 99 of our puppy/dog adopters and 9 cat adopters are enjoying their newfound furry, family members! Keep those pictures coming - thanks!

We do, however, have one fabulous dog left! Apparently, Tessa's future person (or family) just wasn’t able to stop by Puppy Palooza, so she's anxiously awaiting that home while in our care. We would love to get her into her forever home as soon as possible so please contact us at info@tailsct.org or drop us a line at (203)222-1992. (Also, please spread the word!)
