Our story
A family.
A farm.
A mission.
Storybook Tails Animal Rescue is a family owned and operated animal rescue & sanctuary dedicated to giving animals a second chance at life.
Built by a husband and wife team alongside their two young children, driven by deep love and a calling to protect animals in dire need, it has grown and saved so many lives through years of hands-on work, sacrifice and personal dedication.
Set on a peaceful 26-acre property, our rescue offers abused, neglected, and at-risk animals the space, safety, and care they need to heal and thrive.
This is Storybook Tails.
Three real stories from the rescue — the lives we save, the work it takes, and why we keep saying yes.
There's more than one way to save a life.

A second chance story
Jenny & Baby
Many of the animals who live on our farm were once only days — sometimes hours — away from slaughter or euthanasia.
Today, they wake up to open skies, full bellies, gentle hands, and the safety of a place they will never have to leave.
Here at Storybook Tails Rescue, their story doesn't end in fear — it begins again in freedom, care, dignity, and lifelong love.
Our mission
Saving lives. Healing hearts. Creating second chances.
"We act for those who have no voice."
— Gregory Pitre, Founder

A community that cares.
"Storybook Tails Rescue truly goes above and beyond for every animal they touch. You can feel the love and care the moment you walk in. Watching animals who once had no hope now living happy, safe lives is nothing short of incredible."
"I've watched Greg and his family step in for animals that other places had given up on. Their commitment to saving lives especially those on the kill and euthanasia lists is changing the community for the better."
