My Why:

My military deployment to Afghanistan profoundly shaped my perspective on life and deepened my appreciation for the simpler, yet profound, joys of existence. Amidst the harsh realities of conflict, the companionship of animals provided a poignant reminder of resilience and unconditional love. Observing the strength and loyalty of working dogs and witnessing the subtle, comforting presence of stray animals in an otherwise tumultuous environment ignited a deep-seated the already high level of passion for animal welfare within me. This experience highlighted the stark contrast between the fragility of life in conflict zones and the pure, unwavering companionship animals offer, driving me to dedicate my efforts to ensuring that all animals receive the care, love, and respect they deserve.

My journey truly took flight when I teamed up with my wife, whose innovative ideas and compassionate vision have been nothing short of inspirational. Together, we embarked on a mission to channel our shared enthusiasm into something concrete. By harnessing her creative ideas and my dedication, we have founded Task Force TailWag, a volunteer-driven initiative dedicated to improving the lives of animals in need.

At Task Force TailWag, our primary focus is on facilitating adoptions and enhancing shelter care. We believe that every animal deserves a loving home and proper care while waiting for their forever family. Our organization thrives on the collective effort of volunteers who share our commitment to animal welfare. We work tirelessly to provide a nurturing environment for animals, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve.

Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to inspire others to join us in making a difference. Our work is driven by the belief that compassion and teamwork can transform lives—both human and animal. As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain steadfast in our dedication to creating a better world for animals and fostering a community of caring individuals who share our vision.
