CTV News highlighted the launch of Recovery Tails Society and the need for free, temporary pet care when people enter mental health or substance use treatment.
A practical response to a common barrier
RTS founders Priya Sharma and Kayleigh Busch created the organization after seeing people delay or decline care because they had nowhere safe for their pets to stay.
Care built around people and their pets
Volunteer foster caregivers provide a stable temporary home while RTS coordinates the placement, offers ongoing support and helps reunite pets with their owners.
Recovery Tails Society provides free, temporary pet care so people can access treatment, hospitalization, and safer housing without leaving a beloved animal behind.
