Tails for Life
Protected Tomorrows Charities (aka, The Special Needs Network) is dedicated to helping families with special needs optimize the lifelong care of their loved ones. Our mission is to provide resources, research and education for families of individuals with disabilities.
Our Tails for Life campaign offers fulfilling Live, Learn, Work and Play opportunities for individuals with disabilities. When one can only dream of the possibility of living independently, we offer them the resources they need to realize that dream through the support of a Companion Assistance Dog. Tails for Life begins working with the family and the dog from puppyhood to establish the bond as well as the training needed to personally support the needs of the individual.
Your contribution can be the difference. It can be the LIFE changing gift that allows a person to feel the joy and confidence of being able to live an independent and fulfilling life. Our Companion Assistance Dogs can open doors, provide walking support, pick up dropped cell phones, bring a tissue...they are trained specifically to take care of the needs of the individual. Your donation will help fund the training and care of our canine crew, as well as, help us fund educational programs.
Help us give the gift of independence, confidence and joy!

Every donation provided to this campaign will empower individuals to increase their independence and enhance their quality of life. Many individuals do not have the means to pay for assistance dogs and Tails for Life's goal is to provide assistance dogs to individuals in need at NO COST with your help. Many individuals have minor disabilities that put them at a disadvantage when applying for a service dog. Many individuals are put on the back of extremely long waiting lists that can last up to four years. Tails for Life facilitates the need for these individuals that are at such a disadvantage. Tails for Life provides assistance dogs to anyone in need; Individuals and veterans that are battling cancer, medical disabilities, and PTSD, as well as, assisted living facilities that would like to provide live in resident therapy dogs. Companion Assistance Dogs are trained to each individual's needs and are trained for a period of one and one half years. The assistance dogs will have visits with the individual during the training process to help build an unbreakable bond that will last for a life time. Tails for Life will provide behavior modification to the general public to help alleviate over crowding in shelters. Tails for Life will make it a priority to educate the public on bite prevention and canine body language. With your help this campaign will provide a companion with unconditional love to an individual for life!
