Second Chances,
New Beginnings

We believe in offering every animal a chance at the life and love they truly deserve and we will never stop fighting to make that happen.

Rescue and Treatment

Our 3-step approach of Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Rehome is our immediate solution to alleviate the suffering we encounter.

Rescue

When we receive rescue calls and requests we respond as quickly as possible to save animals in dire condition, giving the most critical animals priority.

In most cases we offer rescue transport which rushes the animals in to hospital to receive immediate medical care. Once stabilised we reassess them and place them in the most appropriate hospital/care facility based on their individual needs, offering them a safe place to begin their healing journey. We do not have our own hospital (though we sure would like to!), instead we partner with a number of private hospitals.

Rehabilitate

Rehabilitation is where the healing begins. The hospitals we choose to partner with are the best equipped on the island, complete with experienced staff and fully equipped facilities which minimises the need for critical rescues to be moved around to access lifesaving care.

Whilst it comes at a cost, this focus on rehabilitation helps us better address the physical and emotional damage sustained by our rescues and allows us to give each animal the time and care they need to thrive.

Rehome

Placing rescues with loving families is our ultimate goal. Once our rescues are sterilised, vaccinated and cleared for adoption we list them as available on our social media.

Once matched through a phone interview, we arrange a meeting between the family and the rescue to ensure they are happy and comfortable with each other before they take their rescues home. We check in regularly and make every effort to offer our adopters and their animals lifelong support.

Through this careful screening and support, we aim to create lifelong bonds that ensure a safe, happy future for every dog and cat in our care.

Whether it is through donations, volunteering, or adoption, your support makes all the difference. Together, we can give every animal the second chance they deserve.

Community Support

Whilst formal, registered organisations are one part of the animal welfare network in Sri Lanka, grassroots level individuals and community groups are also an essential part of this web.

They don’t always have the resources to access veterinary care. However, they have extensive knowledge of the animals living in their area. While daily feedings and care are managed by these individuals, we step in to help with better access to essential vet care where necessary. Through this programme we offer access to essential vaccinations and sterilisation surgeries for community and stray animals, contributing to the eradication of zoonotic diseases and population control efforts.

In the backdrop of an economic crisis, we recognise that even dedicated caregivers and pet owners can sometimes lack the resources to respond to some animal emergencies. Depending on the availability of funding, we engage with these individuals to try and keep dedicated people and their animals together where possible.

This programme is completely dependent on the availability of more funding as one of our newest programmes. If you would like to support this programme with a regular donation and see it expand, please get in touch!

Awareness and Advocacy

Tails of Freedom is dedicated to educating the public about the hidden cruelties of Sri Lanka’s unregulated breeding industry and promoting responsible pet ownership.

By utilising our social media platforms and through more structured education programmes, we aim to inspire compassion and drive lasting change for companion animals. We engage with almost all requests we receive, the most popular amongst them being schools and offices.

Our humane education programmes are designed to be age appropriate and develop core values such as kindness, empathy, and responsibility. The programmes are crafted to arm participants with the knowledge to challenge situations of cruelty and injustice they may witness in their own homes and communities.

If you represent an organisation or school that can benefit from this programme, please get in touch!
