Tailwaggers Inc


 

About

Tailwaggers, Inc., is a volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3)organization devoted to improving the lives of pets and pet owners through education, spaying/neutering, fostering and adopting otherwise abandoned, abused and neglected animals. The challenge is to raise enough funds to continue the various services we provide. 100% of ALL funds raised are used to support the animals and their needs.

Chief among our goals is to educate the public – from the youngest school children to senior adults – of the need to control animal population, responsible pet care, and safety hints when dealing with injured, aggressive and feral animals. School children participate in age-appropriate events; from story-time and artwork projects with the youngest grades, to dog food drives, such as “Pennies for Pooches” for elementary students, as well as essay contests. High school students are able to volunteer at the Siloam Springs Animal Shelter to earn community service credit for college applications.

Some of the many things our organization does:

  • Volunteers spend time at the Siloam Springs Animal Shelter socializing cats and dogs to help ensure they're highly adoptable and regularly walking dogs for daily exercise (as well as increased adoptability)
  • Help subsidize the cost of spaying and neutering adoptable animals, which has lowered the euthanasia rate at Siloam Springs Animal Shelter from 75% down to 15% over the past three years
  • Assist with paying for immunizations and medical emergencies for injured or abandoned animals at the Siloam Springs Animal Shelter
  • Help obtain donations from corporate sponsors and private contributors of food, supplies, toys, and treats for shelter animals
  • Pay for transporting adoptable animals to other states that have strict spay and neuter laws where families are waiting to adopt them from our shelter
  • Maintain a food bank for pet owners in financial distress
  • Volunteers also host adoption events, participate in various community events in an effort to bring shelter animals and prospective adoptees together, sponsor fund-raising events such as the 5K run/walk, wine tastings and dessert auctions and design and sell Tailwaggers fundraising merchandize such as shirts, hats, hoodies, etc.
