Pettails Rescue

Pet Tails Rescue was founded by Maureen Cahill in March 2012. The primary business and Broker office is located in Northwood, NH and a Shelter facility, licensed in late 2014, is located in Barrington, NH. The Barrington facility is used for quarantine, training and adoptions. The Rescue is completely operated and supported by a group of dedicated volunteers committed to the rescue and placement of homeless dogs and cats. Pet Tails Rescue utilizes a network of foster families to pull animals from a shelter, organize veterinary care, provide temporary placement in a home environment, secure transportation to NH, and provide quarantine and foster care once again upon arrival, all the while working to find a permanent adoptive family.

Adoption policies: Completing an adoption application is the first step in adopting a dog or cat. Please note that in order to be considered for adoption through Pet Tails Rescue all current pets must be up to date with all shots and be spayed and neutered. Pet Tails Rescue must ensure that all adoptable pets will be go to loving homes that will provide all appropriate vetting services and vaccinations. The adoption application is located on our website. Once an application is received it will be reviewed and personal references checked. Veterinarian references will also be checked. Home checks may be required. Applications are usually processed within 3-4 days. Please understand that we may receive multiple applications for specific animals and at times we may not be able to respond due to the volume of inquiries. Please feel free to follow up with an email to our staff. If the pet you are interested in is in a local foster home, once your application is approved you will get to meet and adopt your new pet within a couple of days depending on the availability of our foster. If the pet you are looking to adopt is still located at a shelter or in one of our southern foster homes; it could take 2-3 weeks to receive your pet based on the timing of vetting and upcoming transports.
