Important Announcement!
Under the Governor’s new order, we are still considered an essential business so we will continue with operations but we have upped our safety measures and modified our procedures to take as much precaution as possible. The health and safety of our community and animals remain the #1 priority so please be understanding and patient with us as we keep that priority in mind during these uncertain times. We have implemented the following measures for the day-to-day operation of the rescue as well as the adoption process:
1. Any FAR team member that opts to shelter in place and avoid ALL potential interaction will be supported. Their fosters will be temporarily unavailable but we will do all we can to mark those changes on their individual postings as quickly as possible and communicate that change to those interested in that particular dog.
2. All adoptions will be completed electronically. This includes all paperwork and payment (we will provide detailed instructions on how to do so). This also unfortunately means that adoptions will be done without any type of “meet and greet” prior to a decision. Transfer of the animal to the adopter will be handled as designated in point #3. All vetting records and adoption support documents typically found in the “adoption packet” will be sent electronically. A rabies tag can be transferred in a Clorox wipe at the transfer of the animal or mailed to you.
3. For transfer of the animal: a meeting location will be determined by the foster and adopter. The foster will place the dog/puppy in a crate (while the adopter remains in their vehicle), the foster will wipe down the door and crate front with a Clorox wipe, the foster will return to their vehicle to allow the adopter to exit their vehicle and retrieve the dog. We will confirm vehicle descriptions and individual appearances of each party prior to meeting for safety of everyone and animals. A modification of this process can be agreed upon between the foster and adopter but we would like to be in compliance with the social distancing mandate regardless of our exception as an essential business.
4. New fosters are being accepted as usual. We will do our required inspection via electronic/digital means for the time being but will follow up with an in person inspection when safe to do so. All paperwork will be done via electronic means. We will arrange a delivery procedure that avoids any physical contact for all supplies needed and handle transfer of the foster animal in a similar fashion as stated in #3.
5. We are still accepting owner surrenders and pulling from shelters with similar procedure as our adoptions. Please note we are very limited on foster space and typically remain at capacity so owner surrenders are rarely an option but will be considered on a case by case basis only after an owner surrender request form from our website is completed.
6. During this time resources are extremely low!!! The food bank we typically purchase our food from (at a discounted rate) is currently on hold and not distributing, chewy seems to remain low on stock and delayed as pet owners turn to alternative means to physical stores, and our team members are trying to comply with social distancing by avoiding stores as well. We are doing all we can to continue to provide all necessary supplies including food but would appreciate any and all help that can be provided! If you have ever considered donating, now is the time it is needed the most!!
Animals in need do not recognize holidays, they do not care about vacations, and they unfortunately do not pause for global pandemics so we will continue with our operations as best we can but want to keep our team and our community safe!! Please be patient and understanding as we take these necessary precautions and help where possible. We will get through this together as one community and family passionate about helping those that cannot help themselves!!! Please message us if you have any questions or are interested in fostering/adopting/donating! A huge thank you to all of our supporters!!!

About Furever After Rescue
Furever After Rescue, a 501(c)(3) organization, is a no-kill, foster-based rescue devoted to finding homes for animals needing a loving family. Most of our animals come from local, high-kill shelters with some occasionally coming from bad situations and owner surrender. Our animals are immediately placed in foster homes where they learn love and are taught how to live in a home environment. All of our animals are up-to-date on their age-appropriate vetting needs and are tested for personality traits as best as possible. We have many wonderful pets looking for forever homes so please browse our website, Facebook, AdoptaPet, or PetFinder page and contact us to add a new furry member to your family!
