Our Mission

 We love animals and feel strongly that they all deserve permanent safe homes where they will feel loved and cared for. We rescue animals that are in immediate danger due to living conditions or lack of shelter. Whenever possible we rehabilitate and re-home. Those not deemed as re-homeable are given sanctuary for the remainder of their lives.

It all started with rescuing a puppy abandoned in a parking lot, followed by another abandoned dog …and now almost 10 yrs later we have helped over 150 animals.

Our goal in the future is to expand to a larger facility to give sanctuary to even more animals.

In Dedication to Leonardo Balsera

 Leonardo was a kind man who loved animals. He faithfully cared for a group of feral cats for years, up until his death in 2007. Our work at A Tail To Remember honors his memory and love of animals. His son, Leo Balsera Jr & his widow Hema Balsera are big supporters of animal rescue.

What To Do If You Feel You Can’t Keep Your Pet

 We feel strongly that animals should have permanent life long homes. To change homes is extremely stressful for them, especially as they age. The stress can make them ill. We appreciate that at times a new home must be found because of illness, death, or financial issues. Please consider carefully your decision to give up your pet.

What to do so you won’t have to rehome:

-Contact family members & friends to inquire about fostering for you until your circumstances change for the better - BEFORE you sign a lease to rent or before you purchase a home with a HOA ensure that you are able to take your pet with you. GET IT IN WRITING!

-In cases of allergies try over the counter medications, homeopathic remedies or talk to your dr. Often given time the sufferer will adjust to the pet & the allergy will diminish. Sometimes you can be allergic to a cat or dog but not another cat or dog.

- If you feel that you do not have enough time for your pet consider getting a second one. They act as companions to each other. If often results in less work for the pet parent.

- Pregnancy & the arrival of a new baby is NOT a good reason for giving up a pet. Often cats & dogs will view the new family addition and will protect it. You might be busy with baby’s arrival for the first few months but things will get into a routine & your cat or dog will adjust.

If you MUST re-home:

- Advertise in local papers.

- Advertise at your local vets.

“I want my dog to have puppies “ - PLEASE READ

 Many people want the experience of their dog having puppies. Or they feel their dog is so beautiful & wonderful that she or he should reproduce. PLEASE DON’T!!

10,000 of dogs are killed every year in shelters. When you let your dog have puppies you are contributing to the problem. Dogs can die during the birthing process & from infection after. How sad it is for families to mourn their dog because they thought puppies would be fun.

In Miami Dade it is ILLEGAL!! It is a $500-$3000 fine to breed dogs without a permit. To not keep your unaltered female locked up while in heat is $150 fine.

Low Cost Spay & Neuter Locations:

Please spay or neuter your pet. It is in their best interest since it reduces their chance of developing cancer. And it you won’t have any unwanted puppies or kittens.
