Mission

At Tried & True Tails, our mission is to help people make confident, compassionate, and well-informed decisions as they welcome a dog into their life. We believe that the right dog is more than a preference — it’s a lifelong partnership built on compatibility, trust, and mutual understanding. Through personalized consultations, ethical breeder and rescue referrals, and an unwavering commitment to education and welfare, we offer guidance rooted in integrity and lived experience.

Vision

We envision a world where every dog and every person begin their life together with confidence and clarity. A world where matches are made intentionally, not impulsively, and where both sides of the leash are set up for success.

We believe that one of the leading causes of the rise of back yard breeding and puppy mills is simply a lack of knowledge and guidance.

Our goal is to raise the standard for how people find their dogs by bridging the gap between thoughtful guidance and ethical sourcing. Whether through responsible breeders, trusted rescues, or honest breed education, we aim to empower our clients and elevate the conversation around dog ownership.

One tried and true match at a time, we’re working toward a future where fewer dogs are displaced, fewer people are left disheartened, and more lifelong connections are made.

Values

  • Respect for Individual Needs

    No two clients are the same—and neither are dogs. We celebrate unique circumstances, lifestyles, and preferences, and tailor every recommendation to fit.

  • Integrity

    Every recommendation we offer is the result of careful listening and deep consideration. We believe the right match comes from asking the right questions and not rushing the process.

  • Welfare

    The health, safety, and long-term well-being of dogs is our highest priority. We only recommend breeders and rescues we believe follow ethical, responsible, and compassionate practices.

  • Support & Education

    We’re here to be a resource, not just a service. We empower our clients with the tools, context, and confidence to make informed choices that will last a lifetime.

  • Satisfaction

    We’re committed to making each client feel heard, supported, and valued. Your experience matters to us, and we work hard to ensure you feel confident and cared for throughout the process.

  • Continuous Improvement

    We don’t settle. We regularly review our methods, resources, and relationships to ensure we’re offering the best guidance possible—today and into the future.
