A New Start for an older Rescue

Forever Furry Friends is making lots of changes, including but not limited to increasing number of fosters and volunteers but also the way we do things and operate. As demand changes so do the laws and  guidelines. So many things to try to keep up with and so little time being there are millions of animals in this world that need help and it is not their fault.

The economy takes a toll on families causing them to have to rehome their beloved pets due to job loss, health issues, and then there is those people who have no clue what to expect and do not realize how much work is involved to owning a pet and how much it can cost to care for a pet. Some people do not even think before they buy or adopt acting on the spur of the moment or they get a baby thinking how cute they are and small not thinking about when the animals grow up to be adults.

Our rescue is out to help both the community and the animals by providing education on preparing for owning a pet, how to care for your new pet, provide information and resources for pet owners and others in the community, and providing a service to take in abused, abandoned, neglected, unwanted and homeless animals getting them the Veterinarian care needed and work on socializing and get them into loving permanent homes to spend the rest of their lives in.

Some of the other things we plan on adding to our services are as follows:

Rescue services - take in strays, impounds, ferrals, getting them vetted and rehome once they are determined to be unowned or claimed and find homes for them. 

pet food and supply bank to help with supplemental packages to help pet owners make it through the month when they run short.

Pet meals on wheels program  - provide delivery to those who have pets and on the meals on wheels program of pet supplies and food.

Educational seminars and events for the public to learn about specific breed topics, pet problems and what to do , what resources are available for pet owners, and more.

Impound (once we get our registration and 501c3)

Veterinarian care assistance - help local residents with vet care for their pets to assure their pets get vaccines, spay or neuter and even treatments as needed by offering to help find affordable vet care, take the critters under our rescue name to get the care the animals need and the owner pays our cost, or help collect donations and pledges to help pay for vetting. Determination is case by case decision. 

Lost and Found animals which we help people post their lost or found pets, and share their posts as well as provide resources and information on what to do if you find a pet or lost a pet.

Pet adoptions - provide for adoption animals that were taken in by our rescue and has been vetted and socialized or prepared for their new home (some will be farm or colony cats)  Some going to live in barns or shops, and some in homes as family pets, sometimes even as a service animals. 

Resource bank as well, where we will provide resources of local business, property owners who rent to people with pets, pet and animals laws, where to find supplies that are good for our pets and at a decent price and lots more.

We would like to also provide in the future training for animals to help prevent animals from being bounced around from home to home due to issues or lack of training. Or to retrain as needed. This would also include behavioral services as well.

We have a lot we are working to be able to provide for our animal supporters and fellow animal owners. 

We are a special group of people who love animals and help animals but will also help the pet owners as well as best we can. We are not about the money, popularity nor about being in control but rather giving options and resources to help people keep their pets, and provide some supplemental services so they can keep their pets at home with them safely and keeping them happy and healthy. 

We are going to soon be non profit and do depend on donations and will be applying for grants once our non profit is filed. All donations both monetary and non monetary are used to vetting, supplies and helping the animals and their owners or potential owners to keep the animals safe and healthy. 

We are all volunteers and do this out of our desire to protect and rescue the animals in need.
