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.

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!

Update 11/17/25: Sweetie Pepper did great at our vet on Sunday am. Had nail trim. As of last night, she is now coughing (probably from bordatella vaccine from the shelter which can be triggered by the vaccine and stress of change). So he is on meds, licking Manuka Honey to sooth throat and getting more rest and TLC. Eating well.

New rescue sweetie! ❤️😍. Pepper, Schnoodle / Havenese mix, female, 2 yrs, 16 lbs.
Pepper was timid and nervous at the shelter and warmed up. Once we rescued her, she warmed up to her foster mom right away. She is a sweetheart. Allows all handling. Pepper will need grooming and has very long nails. Looks like she had puppies before. Foster home cut off some of the mats. Thanks to the shelter for shaving off some mats and bathing her. She will go to our vet on Sunday for exam, Rabies (mercury free), get our microchip and nail trim. We will then set up her grooming appt. and then her spay surgery. More info. to come as she relaxes, eats healthy foods, and learns at her foster home with 2 small dogs.

Update. 😢 😡
This can sadly happen in seconds. Always be aware especially when walking a small dog. We know of many small dog owners that were attacked by loose large dog and lost their precious small dog. Some breeds have very strong jaws. Carry a stun gun to protect your dog and your safety. Same for coyote areas. Usually the sound of the stun gun will deter the attacker. Pepper spray can blow into your face or your dog. Carry an extra slip leash to use as needed.

Update: Dog Attack in Central Park on October 23, 2025

The Fremont Police Department’s Animal Services Division is providing an update regarding the dog attack that occurred on October 23, 2025, at Central Park. The dog and its owners have come forward and are cooperating with our investigation. Preliminary findings indicate that the larger dog was initially leashed but broke free from its owners’ control and bit a smaller dog. The smaller dog sustained injuries that, sadly, resulted in its death five days later.

The owners of the larger dog have provided their information to the victim dog’s owners and are assisting with our investigation and the classification process for their dog in accordance with the Fremont Municipal Code. This incident is also a civil matter between the parties. Animal Services continues to work with everyone involved as the investigation moves forward.
