Tails and Trails Rescue

"Saving those that others cast away." We are a 501c3 non-profit rescue out of central Indiana. Our Rescue is an all-volunteer organization. We are NOT a shelter.

Our dogs are housed in foster homes. Once an applicant is approved for adoption they will meet with the Adoption Coordinator and dog(s) at a designated location. The application process usually takes 24-72 hours, provided references respond. Including an email for references will often speed up the process.

ARNOLD PALMER! ⛳🐶 (Yes, he was literally found wandering a golf course—you can’t make this up!)

If you’re looking for the ultimate adventure buddy, meet Arnold Palmer. This handsome, high-energy Cattle Dog is about 3 years old, sits at a sleek 41 lbs, and is ready for his next big chapter. He’s recently neutered and on the hunt for a foster or forever home where he can decompress, recover, and let his full personality shine.

Why Arnold is an absolute catch:
The Ultimate Co-Pilot: He is phenomenal on a leash, loves cruising in the car, and is ready to head out wherever, whenever for your next adventure.
Social & Sweet: He gets along great with other dogs and is a total people person who just wants to make new friends.
House & Crate Pro: Fully housetrained, cratetrained, and ready to blend seamlessly into a routine.
Whether you want a hiking partner, a road-trip buddy, or just a really good-looking dog to hang out with, Arnold is your guy.

Yes, he’s a low rider, and yes, he is as friendly as they come!

Danny DeVito was adopted back in 2020, but due to family issues completely out of his control, he’s back looking for a place to crash. This 6-year-old, 28-lb Dachshund/Shar-Pei mix is officially on the hunt for some new digs—either a foster or a forever home.

He’s already fully housetrained and more than ready to stake claim to a new couch and shower his future family with his very own brand of loyal love.

Drop us a message if you're ready to open your home and heart to this fantastic little guy! ❤️

Meet Pearl and Tiffany—your new shadow duo! 🐾✨

These two miniature black Goldendoodles are an officially certified bonded pair. At 5 and 4 years old, and both comfortably under 25 lbs, they come in a convenient travel size—double the curls, double the love, and zero desire to ever spend a minute apart.

Here is the lowdown on the dynamic duo:

Pearl (The Sweet Soul): Gentle, loving, and a total sweetheart. She manages a mild case of epilepsy with daily medication like a total pro, meaning she just needs a family who will stay on top of her routine.

Tiffany (The Sidekick): Playful, deeply affectionate, and Pearl's ride-or-die best friend. If Pearl is relaxing, Tiffany is right there keeping watch (or bringing the fun).

The House Rules:
They are looking for a cat-free zone (let's just say local felines do not appreciate their unique brand of enthusiasm). But what they lack in cat diplomacy, they make up for in pure, unadulterated devotion to their people.

Can you open your home to this inseparable pair for a foster stint, or help us share this post so they can find their safe haven together?

Drop us a message or apply to foster today—these two little mop-tops are ready to brighten your couch! ❤️🏡

8 REMAINING PUPS OF THE INDY 11 LITTER! BORDER COLLIE/HUSKY MIX BORN 7/22/26

Photos from Tails and Trails Rescue's post 09/22/2026

Transitioning into rescue life is a lot for any dog, but 1-year-old Jim is handling it with so much sweetness. At 48 lbs, this young Cattle Dog mix is looking for a foster or forever family who can show him what a real home feels like and help him settle in.
What makes Jim special:
Outdoor Explorer: Busy, loud indoor spaces make him a bit nervous, but the second he's outside, he completely opens up. He loves sniffing around, taking everything in, and staying right by your side.
Social Butterfly: He doesn't have an aggressive or reactive bone in his body. Whenever he sees other dogs, he's all about a friendly tail wag to say hello.
Total Shadow: Jim is a true companion. He just wants to know you're in his corner—he'll even stick close to you during quick yard breaks.
Jim just needs a quiet, supportive spot to decompress and let his personality shine.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Foster or Adopt: Give Jim the calm space he needs to feel secure.

Share His Post: Help get Jim in front of the exact person looking for a loyal buddy just like him!

Jim is ready for his fresh start—can you be his safe place?

Meet Beau (now affectionately known as Mooshi)! 🐾❤️

About a year ago, Mooshi found his forever home. But due to unexpected health issues over the past year, his family is heartbroken to realize they can no longer give him the active lifestyle and care he deserves. To their absolute credit, they want to bypass the shelter entirely—so we urgently need a foster or adopter to step up for this sweet boy!

Mooshi is a 3-year-old, 35-pound Border Collie mix—the ultimate manageable, medium-sized adventure buddy.

Why you'll fall in love with him:

Social Butterfly: He thinks other dogs are the best thing ever and absolutely adores kids.

Smart & Active: With that Border Collie brain, he’s happiest when he has plenty of exercise, engagement, and things to do.

The Couch Rules: He loves his comfort! Like many of us, he can get a little "feisty" (a simple warning growl) if you try to physically haul him off the furniture. But he’s never bitten; toss a toy, and he will happily bounce right off on his own every single time.

Critter Watch: He hasn't been around cats, and since he loves to chase squirrels, a feline-free home is definitely the way to go.

Mooshi is a wonderful, sweet dog who just needs a family (or a temporary foster hero) ready to match his smart, active personality.

If you can open your heart and home to Mooshi, please comment below or send us a message today! 🏡✨

🐾 MEET ROSEANNA! 🐾

Look at that sweet face! Roseanna is a 7-month-old Mountain Cur mix who arrived as a stray a few weeks ago. We held out hope that her original family would come forward, but nobody ever claimed her. Now, she’s officially ready to find the loving, forever home she truly deserves—could that be with you?

Here is what you need to know about our fun-loving girl:

People & Dog Friendly: Roseanna absolutely adores people and gets along great with other dogs!

Cat Status: She’s likely a bit too much for felines. We don't think she's aggressive, but her playful energy would probably bug a cat to death!

Escape Artist Extraordinaire: Miss Roseanna can easily clear a 5-foot fence! She needs leash walks or a very tall fence, and she shouldn't be left unsupervised in a yard.

Adventure Seeker: Being a former stray, she knows how much fun the big world is. Some structured training will be key to keeping her grounded and preventing any flight-risk behavior.

Roseanna has already received her basic vaccines and microchip, and the rest of her full vetting is currently being scheduled.

She’s ready for someone to show her what living in a real, loving home is all about! Ready to make Roseanna part of your family? Apply to foster or adopt today! 🐶❤️
