Our mission is to rescue dogs and puppies from kill shelters and transfer to rescue in order to reduce the number of animal euthanasia in shelters, while assisting in a reducing overpopulation. FHR provides assimilation from shelter life to home life in approved foster homes while working to find each dog a fur-ever home. Finally, we will not further add to the population problem by assuring that all of our rescues are spayed and neutered, and that all companion animals in the adoptive home of appropriate age are spayed or neutered.
