“Purple Heart” Miracle Club and Sanctuary

Nathaniel - "Miracle Club" story

Shelters often don’t have the funding or ability to care for those animals that have special needs and many of these animals end up on the “put to sleep” list because they are hard to adopt out. Furry Friends Rescue’s “Miracle Club” is often the last resort for hundreds of dogs and cats who are not only abandoned, but are sick, neglected, abused or injured, stepping in before they are put to sleep.

These special animals need extensive vet care, surgery, hospitalization, or boarding which costs FFR thousands of dollars to save them and bring them back to good health. The dog or cat then recovers and blossoms in their foster home with TLC until they find their forever adoptive family.

Those with life-time medical illnesses or because of age become FFR Sanctuary pets where we take care of them for the rest of their lives.

However it is difficult for us to continue our work without your support! Donations are needed so we can continue to save these furry kids and provide them with a “Miracle” for life! Every little bit helps and is completely tax deductible, please consider a donation today, our “Miracle Club” and Sanctuary animals thank you for your support!

or you can donate via PayPal

4th of July Safe Tip!

4th of July is everybody’s favorite…. except for some of our animal friends. Unfortunately, so many animals go missing because they are so frightened of fireworks. Let’s make sure to keep your animals safe this year and have fun!

Keep your pets indoors at home in a sheltered, quiet area.
Some animals can become destructive and panic when frightened, so be sure that you’ve removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed.

Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company and drawn out 4th of July fireworks.

Best to stay home with your pet. Make sure to give your dog extra exercise during the day to wear him or her out.

If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.
