PLEASE HEAR ME OUT… I would love to share with you a little about what we do. Our goal is to keep dogs with special needs out of shelters. Four years ago, we had a pup born with a congenital bone disorder. I named her Diva Mae. The vet recommended we consider euthanizing because of her condition. That was a very difficult decision. She seemed healthy but, she just could not walk. I began feeding h

er with a dropper, and then moved onto a bottle, and later a bowl. Specialist were amazed by her perky attitude and walking development by her next appointment! She inspired me so much that I decided to help other dogs with disabilities or in abusive situations. We did not have the funds on our own to support this level of rescue, because we are privately owned and not government funded. So, I decided proceeds made from all of my artwork, face painting, and flipped furniture would go directly toward rescuing dogs who could not help themselves. I call it Paint 4 Paws. We became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and 100% of any proceeds goes towards rehabilitating and caring for our rescued dogs. You'll often see us set up at craft shows, fairs and festivals. If you do please stop by and say hi and let me know you follow us. I have been a E911 Dispatcher for the past 23 years. My co-workers knows my passion for animals, so we remain on-call when dogs are left in bad situations. One of the most incredible impacts is seeing how others have begun to spring into action also, and help us rescue animals in need. Together, we have rehabilitated abandoned dogs, abused dogs, handicapped dogs, starving dogs, parvo pups, and dogs involved in criminal activity. We work with our rescued dogs in a home environment to develop trust, safety, and nutrition until they are healed, confident, and ready to be placed in their forever homes. Their fees are almost always free to vetted and approved homes. We go through between 350-500 lbs. of dog food a week. We are always in need of food, bowls, towels, blankets, cleaning supplies, toys, beds, training gear, crates and treats. There are several ways that you can help us fulfill our mission. Remember donations are tax deductible! I cannot express our gratitude for any help that you may provide. Our EIN is available upon request. PayPal [email protected]

Good Morning Hoomans! 🐾

This is Olly! He is a 6 year old Golden Doodle. He is full of energy, love, and personality, and is looking for his furever home!

Olly is neutered, house trained, human friendly. He doesn’t like small critters and has not been around many large dogs. He would be great as an only pet.

If you’re interested in adopting Olly please reach out to the folks at Thompson Tails!

A fenced-in yard or a commitment to regular exercise is required, and absolutely no chains or tie-outs.

If you’re interested in adopting, or fostering Olly let’s set up a meet and greet!

The adoption fee is waived for approved homes, but donations are accepted.
We work hard to find the best match for both canine and human, and we’re happy to work with distance whenever possible. 🐶💛

Good rainy morning!! ☔️ 🐾

Meet Freya, Mac and Gunther! Freya is a 5 year old german shepherd. She’s spayed, friendly but not a cat fan. Mac is a white lab-mixed breed 11 yr. male. He’s neutered, and Gunther is an 8 yr. old black male hound-mix. They’re all house broken and in desperate need of a new home.

If you’re interested in adopting or
Fostering one or all of them, please reach out to the folks at Thompson Tails!

A fenced-in yard or a commitment to regular exercise is required, and absolutely no chains or tie-outs—we deserve safe, happy lives.

They’re both super friendly, and playful. It would be nice to keep the sisters together but not mandatory.

Good Morning Hoomans! 🐾

This is Stella! She is a 2 year old Labrador. She is full of energy, love, and personality, and is looking for her furever home!

She’s friendly, playful, and great with other dogs and kids. She is up to date on vaccinations and assistance with spaying is available. She loves belly rubs, toys, and attention. She is house trained but is crazy about being outdoors. She can climb a fence if you’re not watching.

While our adoption fee is waived for approved homes, donations are incredibly important and truly make a difference. Every dollar helps cover the medical care, food, and supplies for The Dogs on the hill that are still waiting to be adopted, and allows Thompson Tails to continue rescuing and caring for animals. Without donations, rescues like ours simply can’t keep going.

UPDATE ADOPTED!! ♥️

Morning Pack! 🐾

Say hello to Venus!! She is a 2.5 year old German Shepherd. She’s a good girl and looking for her forever home. She’s friendly, but deals with anxiety from time to time. Also has tummy issues if fed human food. She’s spayed, house trained and up to date on vaccinations. Venus gets along with most animals and humans, and loves staying active. So if you’re lazy Venus is not the dog for you. She would do well with someone who is familiar with working dogs.

UPDATE…. ADOPTED!! ♥️🐾

Hullo Hoomans! 🐾

My name is Jake! I’m a 3 year old American Bully. My hooman recently passed away and left me. I was his support dog, and he was my everything. I have lots of energy, I’m full of life, and I’m looking for my furever home!

I’m very friendly and do well with other dogs. I’ve not been around a lot of kids, but I like them. I don’t like cats or small critters. I would do well with someone who is familiar with my breed, and understanding that I’m starting over.

I’ve had obedience training, house broken, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations.

A fenced-in yard or a place for regular exercise is required to adopt me, and absolutely no chains or tie-outs—that’s no way to live. I am free of charge to an approved home, but donations are always appreciated to help the rescue continue saving dogs like me.

If you’re interested in adopting or fostering me, please message Thompson Tails for more details and/or to arrange a meet-and-greet!

We do our best to find the best match for both canine and human, and we’ll work with the distance whenever possible.
