At Tails to Serenity, we believe that the bond with your pet should be a bridge to a better life, not a barrier to getting help. Located in the heart of Southern California’s beach communities, we are a mission-driven, state-of-the-art facility serving all pet owners in our neighborhood and providing a specialized solution for those in transition.
Whether you are looking for premium daily daycare and luxury boarding for your family dog or cat, or you are an individual facing a life-altering crisis—such as entering rehabilitation, mental health treatment, or a domestic violence shelter—we provide a safe haven for your animal companion.
Our unique model uses our high-end community pet services to sustain our mission-based crisis work. With separate, soundproofed areas for dogs and cats, medical management systems, and an empathy-led staff, we ensure your pet feels secure while you focus on what matters most.
Our mission is to eliminate pet care as a barrier to human healing. By providing a "crisis-aware," state-of-the-art sanctuary, we offer long-term boarding for individuals entering rehabilitation, mental health treatment, or domestic violence shelters. We believe that when an owner knows their pet is safe, they can focus entirely on the hard work of transformation.
Tails to Serenity was born from a simple, heart-led realization: no one should ever have to choose between their own life-saving healthcare and the security of their best friend.
At Tails to Serenity, we provide more than just a kennel; we offer a safe, secure, and stress-free "home away from home" designed specifically for your dog’s well-being.
We know that cats have unique needs when it comes to comfort and security. At Tails to Serenity, we’ve designed a dedicated 400 sq. ft. feline sanctuary that is completely separate and soundproofed from our canine areas.

At Tails to Serenity, our work is guided by a set of foundational principles that reflect our commitment to both the humans we support and the animals we protect. These values are the heartbeat of our facility:
Drawing from our founder’s journey in recovery and decades of working with at-risk youth, we meet every client with radical empathy. We understand that crisis can happen to anyone, and we provide a safe, shame-free space for both pets and their owners.
We serve as a voice for the vulnerable. Whether we are advocating for at-risk youth or protecting the pets of domestic violence survivors, we act with unwavering honesty and ethical standards in everything we do.
We view ourselves as the temporary guardians of your most precious relationship. We take this responsibility seriously, ensuring that the bond between you and your pet remains unbroken and strengthened throughout your time apart.
From our Fear Free Shelter certification to our state-of-the-art medical management systems, we are committed to the highest standards of animal welfare. We provide a premium experience for every pet, whether they are here for a day of community daycare or a 90-day crisis stay.
We believe in a circular model of support. By offering high-end services to our Southern California neighbors, we create a sustainable engine of hope that fuels our mission-based work and strengthens the healthcare continuum for everyone.
