Running for Tails of Courage

I am running the Hartford ING Marathon October 9th to collect donations for Tails of Courage! If you would like to donate, please click the link below. Keep reading for more details about Tails of Courage.


Tails of Courage is a non-profit animal rescue organization committed to rescuing dogs from shelters. They are entirely funded by donations and depend on volunteers.

They do not have a shelter or boarding facility, but instead rely upon foster homes to shelter and nurture the dogs until a loving home is found. They are always happy to answer any questions about adopting a new pet and will gladly provide any support people may need throughout the adoption process.

In addition, each animal is tested, and upon meeting a series of criteria may be chosen for training as a therapy dog for a Soldier at no cost to the military member.

Their organization evaluates, tests, trains, qualifies and assists therapy dog/handler teams in order to provide loving, nurturing and compassionate visitation in nursing homes, hospitals and psychiatric facilities and other locations where emotional support dogs are needed for America's active and veteran military.
