Paws in the Park – May 30th, 2009

Posted by Morgan on Sunday, 31 May, 2009

Thank you to everyone who came out to Paws in the Park and helped raise money for Furry Friends Rescue.  We hope you and your pets enjoyed yourselves!  Although it was mostly dogs at the event, there was even a cat in its stroller with two Shepherd pals walking alongside.  It’s so great to see everyone have a good time, enjoying the fashion show, contests, raffles and most of all Kara’s Cupcakes!

Here are some highlights from the day!

We had lots of people visiting our adoptable dogs and talking to us about rescue.

Help win $10,000 for Furry Friends Rescue!!

Posted by Morgan on Sunday, 4 January, 2009

Care2 is having a contest for animal shelters nationwide.  Cast your vote for Furry Friends Rescue and help us win $10,000 to help animals in need!  Each week a random shelter can also win $500.  With so many animals needing rescue and medical attention, your vote can help save more lives!

http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/73387

Furry Friends spends anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars on the care of rescued animals.  The adoption costs don’t even cover all the expenses we accumulate for the animals.  FFR works to ensure every animals is spayed/neutered, up-to-date on shots and has food, bed, and toys.  This can add up quite quickly and every little bit helps.

So VOTE NOW and SPREAD THE WORD! We sincerely appreciate your help!


The Season of Giving!

Posted by Morgan on Monday, 1 December, 2008

Everyone is experiencing hardships this year, yet I have seen the spirit of giving shine brighter than before!  Everywhere people are coming together to rescue animals, collect food for the hungry, and help give warmth to those who are stuck in the cold.
As people experience economic difficulties they often have to give up their pets.  Many end up in the shelters where they are in danger of being euthanized if not adopted or rescued quickly.  Some shelters, due to the overwhelming number of animals being dumped, can only give these animals a few days before they’re put to sleep.
‘Tis the season to give the Gift of Hope and a second chance to save a dog or cat’s life.  This holiday season, Furry Friends Rescue is asking that you dig deeper into your hearts and considering giving a little more of yourself this year.  Perhaps, adopting a new dog or cat, or becoming a foster home so that an animal has a second chance to find a forever home is a way you can give back.
If you can’t do that, all rescues and shelters would greatly appreciate monetary and in-kind donations of any amount!  Every penny will help save an innocent furry life!
Or give at our FirstGiving page: Tis’ the Season…..to give the GIFT of Life!
We give thanks to our good health, friends and family (both human and furry).  Thank you all for your support and kindness.
May the holiday season fill your hearts with peace and love!
