About Fur-Ever Friends Farm

Fur-Ever Friends Farm, Rescue and Sanctuary is a 501C3 dedicated to helping people retain ownership of their farm animal pets through times of crisis.

We exist because most rescues are surrender based and we firmly believe that “temporary times of crises shouldn’t require permanent solutions, like losing your best friends forever.”
