What is it?

Starting in 2024, TailWinds is committed to giving back $1500-$2000 annually to the community for volunteer hours, training, and donations towards important causes. If you know a worthy cause, please feel free to contact us!

History & Origin

(under construction) In 2023, our dog Rumple was diagnosed with a rare nose cancer. Nicknamed “Fabio” by many, Rumple has always had an incredible zest for life. We decided to proceed with the testing and surgery.

His surgery went well, but he went into shock and had to go back into OVC for critical care. We decided to downsize TailWinds to help pay for his surgery, and many people donated to his recovery.

He is spicy, saucy, and loves every day. He continues to help reactive and fearful dogs, and loves to beg (something he was never permitted to do before surgery!)

2024 Efforts (to date):

• $180 of professional services to MUTTS Rescue for behavioral assessment

• $400 in donations to community members who have cancer / their dogs have cancer

• $270 in professional services to local community (including free consultations for struggling individuals)

• $360 of privates donated to local student raffle
