Urban Tails Community Program

One of the core pillars of our rescue is education and outreach within all of the communities we work with.

Why "Community"?
Because the future of animal welfare depends on it.

Our vision is simple but bold: transform animal welfare by making sure every pet owner has access to top-tier resources and support. We’re tackling the root causes that lead to pets being surrendered, with a proactive approach centered on education and accessibility. From free training events and counselling to pet food banks and access to care, our Community Hub is here for pets and their people.

How Can we Support You?

FREE TRAINING SUPPORT GUIDE

We Made a Guide for You

The number one reason for surrender in the past two years that we’ve seen has been behaviour-related.

More specifically, we’re seeing a lack of training in the home that leads to unwanted behaviours, causing families to feel like they have no other choice but to surrender. In an effort to provide more access to training support, we made a public-friendly iteration of our training guide for you to download. This version closely resembles the guide that all of our fosters and adopters receive prior to taking an Urban Tails dog into the home.

Crafted with care and expertise, it's your free digital handbook for accessible, effective pet training strategies. Whether you’re a pet parent aiming to strengthen your bond or just curious about dog behaviour and training techniques, this guide has got you covered.

By making a difference in the lives of pets and their owners, we hope to create a future where every pet is loved, cared for, and cherished as part of the family.
