I'm sorry to have to say this, but,Staff member I met was not real kind. I dropped off a donation and all she said was "put it over there." No "thank you" or acknowledgement. Facility was not very clean and it smells terrible.

I can't explain how wonderful the experience of getting our new puppy was with Hopeful Tails! I had never gotten a pet from a shelter before and I was extremely nervous about the process. Hopeful Tails was amazing and answered all my questions and concerns. If you are looking for a pet PLEASE consider contacting them first!

Adopted our loving and playful pup, Guinness, from here. Staff was amazing in helping us adopt him. They are friendly and want to make sure the dogs are going to a good home. I've been recommending them to everyone I know and will be coming back for future adoptions in our family.

The ladies here are absolutely wonderful. My wife and I were looking to add a dog to our family and boy did these amazing humans help. Within 24 hours of submitting the paperwork for adoption, we had heard back. Due to some scheduling conflicts on our end, we couldn’t meet the pup for 2 days, but when we did, the rest of the process was seemless! We’re first time dog parents and they guided us through care afterwards as well! Also, the fact that they’re no kill is a huge bonus for my wife and I. If you’re thinking of adopting, please do it from the amazing team at Hopeful Tails!

I cannot say enough positive things about Hopeful Tails!! We rescued our puppy from them, and they were professional and thorough throughout the entire process. When we were first looking, it was great their website was organized and clear to follow for us to apply to adopt with ease. I really appreciated their prompt response to my emails as well. Having young children, their care at letting us know about temperament of dogs and being very transparent which would be a great fit for our family was so important and helpful. When we went to meet with our new puppy, it was clear they were taking great care of all their animals, and they provided us the space to meet with him to see if he would be a great fit. I also cannot say enough great things about the vet care our puppy received in his time with Hopeful Tails. Thank you, Hopeful Tails, so much for all your help bringing Mack (formally Tootsie Pop) into our family!
