The Heroic Tail

Rescue

We rescue dogs who are deemed unadoptable due to their behavior. We have partnered with two training facilities to help us. We decided to work with these dogs because these are the dogs that are put down first. Most dogs display fear at shelters and that gets them on the euthanasia list. With trainers who are committed to assist us with training these dogs become adoptable and some can become ESA animals with their training as well. It is easy to adopt out puppies or dogs who are easy but we thought what about the rest who are not helped because of the cost of training and difficulty level.

Address 4467 1/2 Central Ave, San Diego, CA 92116
Service Areas San Diego County, San Diego City
Adoption Process
Application for Adoption, Application review with adopter on the phone, meet with dog, home check, adoption contract with adoption fee paid, 3 training sessions with the dog included in adoption.
