Furry Friends Rescue

Furry Friends Rescue Dedicated to the Rescue, Sanctuary (Volunteer Foster Homes) &
Adoption of Companion Animals. No. CA We have no office, building or shelter. Each one is special.

Furry Friends Rescue (FFR) is a all-volunteer foster home-based non-profit Bay Area companion animal rescue organization (Non-profit Tax Id: #94-3308178 501(c)(3)), comprised entirely of experienced and dedicated volunteers who collectively have rescued and home fostered over 16,000 dogs and cats since 1998. All dedicated hero foster homes. Every rescue dog and cat get TLC, holistic/fresh/high qua

lity foods, supplements, home training and vet care. Once they are healthy (2-3 weeks or more depending on the dog or cat's health and behavior needs), then adopted to their forever loving homes for life as a true indoor family member. We ensure careful screening with experienced counselors, home visit for safety and support. We take our dogs and cats back for life to ensure their safety so they are never abandoned again. Foster home love their fosters as their own pets. United and inspired by our compassion for all animals, we focus our talents on saving dogs and cats destined to be euthanized in Bay Area shelters. Each rescued animal is provided veterinary attention, including examination, immunizations and spay/neuter. Then the rescued dog or cat is placed into one of our safe haven foster homes where he receives lots of TLC and basic family member training. Most of our dogs and cats are well behaved and are ready for adoption. A few may need special care to recuperate from medical, mental or physical neglect/abuse; or to regain their confidence and trust in people. Since November 1998, we have saved over 16,000 animals and the numbers are growing every day—along with 6000+ Guardian, Shelter & Rescue Assists! Our volunteer home foster about 100 dogs and cats (of all ages from young to seniors, mom and babies and special needs. Please see our "Purple Heart Miracle Club" https://www.furryfriendsrescue.org/about_us/miracle_club

Our successful team is based on core values of friendship, integrity, honor and mutual respect for each other as a team. Our shared love for our furry friends binds us to our common goal. FFR's primary focus is to utilize our talents and energies in innovative ways to save even more innocent lives by expanding our Hero Foster Home Network. https://www.furryfriendsrescue.org/about_us/foster_home_network

A key part of FFR's philosophy and practice is to build alliances and network with other reputable shelters, rescue organizations, veterinarians, doggie day cares, trainers, media and caring companies. By working together, we can save more lives together and help to eliminate the unnecessary deaths of so many adoptable animals while enhancing the lives of people as well. We pride ourselves on our great team work. It takes a village of volunteers to save thousands of dogs and cats and find them their forever family homes. Please see photos of the FFR volunteers in action on our photo galleries on our website:

If you would like to be part of our team, please check our Volunteering page. To donate, please see our Donations page. For more information, email [email protected]. In the USA annually, 6 to 8 million dogs and cats are placed in shelters, and 3 to 4 million of them are euthanized because they are unable to be placed in homes. Help save a furry life!

Dancer (tan) and Prancer (tri color) love playing tug-o-toy.
Both did great at puppy social at South Bay Dog Training. They played well with 8 other puppies. Thanks to their foster home for donating cost for social.

Dancer still needs an experienced foster home by Sat or Sunday. He is ready for one on one training and classes.

Our hearts go out to the pets of LA affected by the wildfires. We’re inspired by the incredible efforts of rescues like Pasadena Humane, who’ve brought hundreds of animals to safety and are asking for donations to continue their work. We’ve made a contribution, and if you’d like to help, you can visit the link in our bio or for more info. We’re also exploring more ways to support the LA community and sending our thoughts to everyone affected.

Last minute urgent rescues. Two tiny pups, females, Poodle (mom)/Pom (dad) mix, maybe 6-8 wks, about 3 lbs. Accidental litter. Hope they will spay and neuter their parents. No vet history. Both pups are matted and dirty. The box they came in was dirty and stinky. Poor pups.

Huge thanks to their kind foster home for rushing out this evening to take them in and buy all their supplies. Both are very dirty and getting baths now. More info and names to come. Vet appt tomorrow for exam, deworm and first vaccination. Then we will know how old they truly are. They are safe now and will get the best care and TLC.

🥰 😺 Cooper is home and resting. Successful surgery to remove a large piece of Silicon Can lid. Beware to keep all silicon lids and bags away from your pets. It doesn't digest and can cause blockage like it to Cooper. Without exploratory surgery, he would have died. Some cats like the silicon lids and want to play with them. Do not allow this and put away, or better yet, don't use them. Same for ROPE toys. They can swallow by accident and then require surgery to remove.

First New Year rescue. 🥳😍. Ziwi, male, Havanese mix, 1 year, 30 lbs. was neglected, dirty, matted and dumped. Now at our vet for exam, shave of mats, and care. 💜Thanks to his hero foster home that will give him TLC. Then grooming next. Will need shave down. Then neuter. More info to come. He is a sweetie and dog/people friendly.

💜🥰. Huge thanks to his long distance transporter! 1 1/2 to hour drive one way. From SASA.

🥰 Welcome Ziwi to your new beginning for a healthy and loving life.

Karma to all the selfish, irresponsible and cruel people dumping their dogs. City Shelters are over-whelmed with young adult dogs. At least we can save this one. On ward! We need more dedicated foster homes to save innocent lives that were in the wrong hands and dumped.

Update: 😍. Cooper’s exploratory surgery was a success. No rupture. Now home and resting. He chewed and ate a piece of a silicon rubber can lid that caused blockage in his intestines. Darn! 😢 It was washed but he still got it and chewed it. For some reason, some cats like silicon rubber. Keep out of reach from cats and dogs. Harmful, dangerous and very expensive chew toy.

Thanks to Tama Vet for saving Cooper.
Now we need help with donations to pay his $6,000 vet bill. 💜😢

Darn! 😢 💔. Sweetie Cooper, 2 yrs, Tabby cat, is now at our vet for non-stop vomiting. X-Ray shows large obstruction in his intestines. He is now having emergency exploratory surgery to remove the object and hope it did not rupture his intestine. Very difficult surgery. Possible, his foster home think he chewed a silicon soft can lid.

To save his life, he is in surgery now. Cost will be over $6,000. So sad!!! We need help with donations to cover his surgery cost. 💜
