Henry’s family accused him of being aggressive towards them. They said they had to defend themselves because he would try to bite them. They called animal control and insisted Henry be picked up because they could handle him. This is Henry's true rescue story.

The shelter staff was required to put him on a one week euthanasia list because he was accused of biting people. He was in the back kennel, out of public view because of what he was accused of, and could not be adopted out because he could be a danger to people. He could only pulled by a certified dog rescue such as Foster Tales, but we can’t handle aggressive dogs.

The shelter staff said Henry’s story didn’t add up, and they knew something had to be done. That’s when they called Courtney to take a look at this sweet dog. They knew they could save his life if they could convince a rescue to pull him, and it was coming down to the wire for Henry.

Dog shelter adoption is down. We pull dogs and keep them in foster care until we can find them a forever home.

We are Foster Tails Rescue in Bakersfield California. We are a registered 501c3 Nonprofit organization whose mission is to rescue dogs from our local shelters and adopt them into good homes. We try to pull the harder to place dogs and rely exclusively on volunteer fostering to care for our available pups, and teach them how to live in a home with a family.

We want to give a special thank you the the staff of the Kern County Animal Shelter for their help and support with Henry's rescue.
