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!
