Our Story
Our History
Once Upon a Tail
Fetching Tails Foundation started when a group of long-time animal advocates in Itasca, Illinois resolved to improve their community's approach to canine welfare. Their goals were simple: to promote adoption through fostering, to care for neglected animals, and to save vulnerable dogs from shelters.
Their small grassroots effort quickly formalized, and Fetching Tails soon became a respected and admired member of the Itasca community. Recognized for a collaborative approach to programming and education, Fetching Tails is proud to play an active role in the protection and care of animals in need.

The Work Continues
Today, Fetching Tails facilitates more than 500 dog adoptions every year. We provide rescue animals with first-rate medical care, ensure they are well cared for in foster homes, and pursue a range of programs and partnerships that allow us to push our mission forward.
