Welcome to Operation Tail Wag~Pet Care for the Military

At Operation Tail Wag, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care for the furry friends of our military and Veterans. For the last nine years, we have assisted many families. Whether they were going to training, off for deployment, hospitalization, moving or any other reason that will keep them away from home. You will find the most recent news, fundraiser information and you can find it all in one spot.. There will also be a section that highlights a few of our pets currently looking for their forever homes! 



 

Donating is simple! 

Our  Mission

   OTW is one of few organizations that provide such services. We started this all for the Military but since our start, we have been able to assist more than military pets!

Frequently asked questions

What services do you offer to the military and veterans?

We provide housing, food, treats, vet care, spay/neuter, vaccinations and any other necessity a pet needs. In addition, they get field trips, toys and even report cards!

What is required to qualify?

to qualify for our services as a veteran or military affiliated you must provide us with 

•Current mil.com email address

•any military ID showing your status in the military

•Veterans need to have DD-214 

•or any form of ID stating you and the military. 

What if I am not a veteran or in the military?

We provide the same services to the rest of our communities, but there is a discounted charge for all non affiliated military or veterans. 

How long can my pet stay?

It seems for us that the 4 month area is where most of our reuniting happens. Even so, we will evaluate the files at 6 months. If no clear directions have been made with owner, before that time, we then determine how to proceed. This may include fees being added to the account, possible movement of pet , do a different foster, etc. if any of these were to be put in consideration, the owner would be notified before acts were taken.  

How much does it cost?

With time being the hard part of this, it is difficult to give an estimate without a time frame, some pet info and preferences. We would be happy to draw up an estimate, just contact us and will get it started!
