High Tails Animal Rescue, NFP is a licensed 501(c)(3) not-for-profit animal rescue and welfare organization. We are both volunteer-run and foster-based serving the Greater Chicagoland area and Northern Suburbs of Illinois. Our organization rescues cats of all breeds and ages and finds them permanent homes while helping the occasional dog. We rescue primarily from animal controls and shelters, and
assist our established partners with owner abandonment cases and friendly strays. Owner surrenders and strays found by the public are handled on a case-by-case basis. Within our organization, our animals are prepared for adoption by receiving personalized care in a certified foster home and medical attention from our veterinarian partners. To achieve our mission, we network amongst fosters, volunteers, rescuers, transports, and pet professionals. Not only are we dedicated to saving lives, but we are also actively committed to advancing animal welfare by being an educational resource for families, promoting responsible pet ownership. By preparing not just the pets, but also their families, we can ensure adopting a rescue pet is filled with enjoyment and happiness for all.

As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a physical shelter for the public to visit. Meet and greets with our animals are reserved for approved applicants to respect the privacy of our fosters. Email us and we will get back to you within 48-72 hours. As a 100% volunteer-run rescue, we appreciate your patience. The High Tails team welcomes you to view our website and apply to adopt, foster, or volunteer with us today.
