because they were saved by the rescuers (of course!) and Furry
Friends was there to provide safety, love and a temporary home
while in search of their “forevers.” Happy as hounds, their
wagging tails clearly demonstrate their joy for a second chance.
These sassy siblings are some of the many that we’ve recently
taken in, either from devastated islands like the Bahamas or areas
in our own backyard. Our arms open wide for the needy, regardless
of their geography!
Furry Friends is proud to save lives and counter the actions of
evil against animals. While it incomprehensible to us that humans
can have such little regard for furry lives, we know that goodness
prevails and that dogs and cats will always have a safe harbor
within the walls of our organization. Thank you for your support
for what we do!
