Stories with Tails began as a passion project rooted in one simple idea: stories change outcomes.
Too often, rescue animals are reduced to a few bullet points and a photo. While those details matter, they don’t always capture who an animal truly is—the quirks, the habits, the moments that make someone stop and say, that’s my dog.
Stories with Tails was created to reimagine the adoption process by infusing it with thoughtful storytelling. This platform exists to slow things down, spotlight individuality, and give rescue animals the kind of visibility that leads to real connection.
Our mission is to support rescue organizations, fosters, and adopters by using storytelling as a tool for impact.
We believe:
-
A well-told story can stop the scroll
-
Personality is just as important as photos
-
Adoption is emotional—and that’s a good thing
Through intentional storytelling, we aim to help more animals find homes, amplify rescue voices, and build a community rooted in compassion.
Hi I'm Mary, the human behind Stories with Tails

I'm a lifelong animal lover and rescue advocate who believes that every animal deserves to be seen for who they are—not just where they came from.
What started as a creative outlet quickly became something bigger: a space to celebrate rescue animals, share meaningful stories, and help people fall in love before they ever meet face-to-face.
This project is fueled by passion, community, and a deep respect for the people and organizations doing the work every single day.
Thank you for being here and supporting this journey! <3
