Foster homes make recovery possible. 🐾

Some people can’t get the help they need because they have nowhere safe for their pet to stay. That’s where you come in.

As we continue to receive more and more requests for support, we are hoping to grow our foster community across Vancouver Island so we can keep helping when someone reaches out.

Recovery Tails provides temporary foster homes to give pets a safe, loving place while their humans focus on recovery.

Every foster home removes a barrier for someone trying to get help.

If you have space in your home and heart, we would love to hear from you. 💛

Send us a message to learn more. Sharing this post could help a pet and their person too.

Meet Lily 🐾

Lily spent her first week with us while we got to know her and helped her settle in. As the days went on, she became more comfortable and we started to see more of her personality come through.

She’s now moved into her temporary foster home, and we’ve already been getting some really sweet updates of Lily spending time outside in the yard, playing with her toys, and getting lots of naps in.

The last photo is a little peek at Lily settling into her foster home. More Lily updates coming soon 🤍🐾

Another animal settling in beautifully in their temporary foster home 💚

While their human focuses on treatment and healing, this little one is safe, cared for, and surrounded by love. Every foster placement means one less barrier to recovery and one less impossible choice for someone ready to ask for help.

Thank you to our incredible foster community for opening your homes and hearts. If you are interested in learning more, send us a message!💚🦎

This past month, Recovery Tails Society has supported several animals while their humans focused on getting the help they need. Every pet placed in a foster home means one less worry for someone choosing recovery.

We are so thankful for the donations that allow us to provide food, supplies, and everything needed to keep pets comfortable and cared for. We appreciate the fosters who open their homes and hearts. And we truly value the encouragement and positive response from this community. It means more than you know.

If you would like to be part of what we are building, donations can be sent by e-transfer or through Zeffy at the link below. Every contribution goes directly toward supporting the animals in our care.

🐾 These pets are currently being supported by Recovery Tails Society through foster care 🐾

Each of these animals is in a foster home right now, surrounded by care while their humans focus on getting the support they need.

Foster care is at the heart of what we do. It allows people to access care without the added stress of worrying about their pet’s safety.

If you have ever considered fostering, we would love to welcome you into our community. You do not need prior experience, and our team supports foster families every step of the way. Whether short term or longer term, fostering truly makes a difference.

Over the past week, this sweet girl has been settling beautifully into her foster home 💛
We’ve loved receiving updates of her soaking in the views, exploring her surroundings, and even enjoying swims in the ocean.

While she enjoys this time with a loving foster family, her human is able to focus fully on healing. This is the heart of what we do at Recovery Tails Society, removing barriers to treatment by ensuring pets are safe, loved, and never forgotten.

Pets are family, and no one should have to choose between their own wellbeing and the animals they love. This work wouldn’t be possible without our incredible foster families and supportive community. Each of you plays an essential role in making this possible.

If you are interested in supporting us in ways beyond fostering, please see the link below. Donations help cover the cost of food, supplies, and veterinary care for pets while their humans focus on recovery.

🐾Big news! We’re officially launching Recovery Tails Society!🐾

Hi everyone! We’re Priya and Kayleigh - two best friends who met working in the field of mental health and substance use recovery here in Victoria. Between us, we have over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families through some of the most challenging and transformative moments of their lives.

Time and time again, we witnessed the same heartbreaking barrier: people ready to enter treatment being forced to turn it down because they had nowhere safe for their pets to go. For so many, pets aren’t “just animals”, they’re family, comfort, stability, and unconditional love.

That’s why we created Recovery Tails Society, a local non-profit providing free, temporary pet care across Vancouver Island for people entering treatment. While our clients focus on healing, their pet is cared for, loved, and safe through our incredible foster families and community partners.

🐕 We’re now looking for foster volunteers! 🐈

Fostering helps remove one of the biggest barriers to accessing treatment and it truly changes lives.
Fostering is:
• Temporary
• Fully supported
• Deeply meaningful

Even one foster placement can make the difference between someone accessing treatment or continuing to struggle, all while keeping pets with the people who love them.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, this is a powerful way to help without a long-term commitment.

Thank you for supporting recovery, compassion, and community for both people and their pets 💛🐾
