About Tails of Triumph
Tails of Triumph is an aspiring nonprofit organization based just outside the Boston area. We are dedicated to helping dogs get adopted from places all over, sharing information on how you can get involved, and accepting donations to support rescue efforts. Tails of Triumph was founded by Cathy Young, a mother, business owner, and devoted dog lover. Her mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home dogs in need. Through this website, we aim to share heartwarming adoption stories, offer educational resources for potential adopters, and raise awareness about the joy of pet adoption as well as the powerful impact of helping an animal find a better life.
What we Do
At Tails of Triumph, we are dedicated to giving rescue dogs a second chance at life by helping them safely travel from challenging situations to loving homes. We coordinate with flight nannies to arrange and cover the cost of each dog’s journey, ensuring they have safe and comfortable travels. From organizing transportation to and from airports to helping match dogs with foster families or adopters, we handle the details so that every pup has the opportunity for a brighter future. Our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between rescue dogs in need and the families ready to welcome them home!
How we Started
Tails of Triumph began with our founder, Cathy Young, a devoted mother of four who became an empty nester when her youngest children, twins Katie and Michael, left for college last fall. With newfound time on her hands and a lifelong love for dogs, Cathy discovered the flight nanny program we use today. On a trip abroad with her sister and sister-in-law, the three of them escorted home three of the sweetest rescue pups—and Cathy instantly knew this was the perfect way to fill her heart now that her kids were grown. Already a proud rescue dog owner herself, Cathy poured her energy into helping other dogs find safety and love. Over the past year, she has made countless trips to airports to pick up and transfer dogs, arranged their travel logistics, and worked tirelessly to match fosters and adopters with the right pup. What began as one trip with family has grown into a mission: turning Cathy’s love for dogs into a lifeline for rescues in need. As Cathy's passion grew, Tails of Triumph was born, and the organization continues to grow with family, friends and fellow dog lovers all getting involved in the journey!
