Traveling Tails & Ragamuffin Rescue
If you are looking to adopt a dog and are open to a foster-to-adopt option:
We pull puppies and dogs off of euthanasia lists at other shelters that are at maximum capacity. Please fill out a foster application here and let us know what size, ages, and breeds you’re open to and we can facilitate the rescue!
Because we are an entirely foster-based rescue, we rely on our volunteers to continue to bring animals out of abusive, endangering, and neglectful situations to their forever homes.
