Our Story
How Tiny Tails Began
Tiny Tails is lovingly led by Karis and Andrew, a husband-and-wife team based in Victoria, Australia.
What began as caring for a few special needs Chihuahuas soon grew into a calling. The experience planted a deep seed in our hearts—a passion to help, support, and care for small dogs who need an extra bit of love and understanding.
Over time, Tiny Tails has blossomed into a rescue community supported by dedicated volunteers who share our vision. Together, we specialise in providing care for dogs with special needs, disabilities, or behavioural challenges—those who might otherwise be overlooked or left behind.
​
Although Chihuahuas hold a special place in our story, our doors are open to all small breeds in need of refuge. From Pugs and Pomeranians to Italian Greyhounds and beyond, each little life is precious to us.
​
At the heart of our mission is the belief that every dog deserves to be truly seen and understood. We take the time to learn each dog’s unique story, provide the individualised care they need, and work tirelessly to match them with the perfect forever home. For some, that means becoming cherished permanent residents of our rescue family, while for others it means starting fresh with new families who can offer the love and life they deserve.
​
Tiny Tails is more than a rescue—it’s a place of second chances, resilience, and hope.
Our Mission
We are passionate about providing a safe and loving environment for Chihuahuas and other small dog breeds.
Our team is committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming these adorable pets, giving them a second chance at a happy life. We take pride in making a difference in the lives of these tiny companions and rely on the support of animal lovers to continue our mission.
