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.

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.
