Pet Tales is a non-profit rescue organization serving the greater West Michigan area. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats left homeless for whatever reason – dogs/cats in public shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect.

We place dogs and cats in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog/cat into their homes and lives.

Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs and cats in distress WITHOUT regard to age, breed, or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, we do not turn down the tough or medically fragile cases! We take pride in our willingness to help the truly downtrodden and most needy animals and believe this makes our rescue stand out from so many others.
