"Amazing rescue"

"I’ve been truly impressed by Furry Friends Rescue. My initial introduction was when our family was looking for a dog during Covid. We ended up fostering a few dogs along the way and finally adopted one. FFR’s screening process is thorough and meant to match the perfect family and pet. The organization from management to volunteers has only the best interest at heart for every animal. The support you receive is amazing! I can’t say enough good about FFR which is why I’ve stayed in contact and help when I can."

"Doggie Protective Services helped my husband and I rescue Truvy, a Taiwanese Mountain puppy, 12 years ago.at age 6 months old. She was the only one of her litter that hadn't been adopted, because she was terrified of people. DPS had her in a nurturing foster home and told us that they would keep her as long as necessary for her to find her forever home. Luckily, we decided to take a chance with her, and with patience and training, now Truvy is a healthy, happy, 12 year old who loves running on the beach even at age 12, and, although still shy, is friends with anyone with treats. We have since followed the DPS Facebook page, and have even visited a few of their rescue events. We continue to be big fans, and will certainly rescue with them again when it is time for us to find a new pet. Their work to assist dogs with trauma and medical issues is heroic, and their volunteers are amazing. Furry Friends is a similarly excellent rescue that found us Murphy, the best cat ever. They did a home check and thorough vetting of us before we were allowed to adopt Murphy, and we were able to speak with his Foster mother to determine his temperament. Another great rescue that we will continue to support."

"A fabulous organization that really cares for the animals. Many of the animals they take in need medical care and training to be adoptable. The amazing volunteers and volunteer foster homes really see to the well being of the animals, and any unadoptable animal continues to be cared for as a Sanctuary Dog or Cat. I've adopted twice from this organization, volunteered at Showcases, donated and continue to support their mission."

"Furry Friends Rescue is an organization of animal-loving volunteers who are dedicated to saving dogs & cats and committed to placing pets in homes where they will be most successful. Adopting rules are rather strict, but it makes sure that homes are best prepared for forever placement for pets."

"Furry Friends Rescue is where I’ve volunteered as a foster dog mom and as transporter for several years. The volunteers and staff are fun, caring, and kind. The dogs are amazing. I’ve seen huge changes in fostered dogs from scared and dirty to loved and adorable. One is my own foster-fail dog, Bella, a Maltipoo. She’s a wonderful addition to our family. Fostering made me happy during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic and makes me laugh every day."

"I’ve been a foster with Furry Friends Rescue for a while now and have long term and short term fostered over 30 dogs. FFR has been BY FAR the most ethical rescue I’ve worked with. Furry Friends Rescue cares more about just getting dogs adopted. It’s about adopting them to homes that will provide love, quality food and care, exercise, training, etc. Forever homes go through a series of applications, interviews, home inspections, and in person meet prior to adopting the dog to ensure our dogs end up in wonderful homes. FFR follows up to date scientific studies on dogs health and behavior and makes sure our contracts and care of those dogs follows science. Dogs are fed high quality diets, delayed spay & neuters to ensure their bodies and minds get the necessary hormones to develop properly, and receive reward based training and socialization. FFR relies on foster homes. Dogs do not get rescued from a shelter only to sit in another kennel. Our dogs get acquainted with home life in their foster homes, to prepare them for an easier transition into their forever homes. Foster homes really get to know their dogs and provide frequent updates on their dogs health and behavior. Those updates are put on the description of dogs on our website so potential adopters understand more about each dogs unique personality. FFR also makes sure adopters sign our contract so that we are able to intervene if one of our dogs is not receiving care that is up to our standards. Once a FFR dog, always a FFR dog! We provide lifelong support for every dog."

44.5 percent of all American households share life with a canine companion. Pet professionals like dog trainers, veterinarians, and veterinary behaviorists are more important than ever as our modern society becomes increasingly difficult for four-legged friends to navigate—dog reactivity, anxiety, and general stress from lack of proper enrichment are on the rise in domestic dogs.
In our modern, human-centric world, it can be hard to find spaces for your pup to safely play off leash—especially if they’re a flight risk. Dogs who might run off after interesting smells, prey, or simply because they feel the whim can be a hazard in unfenced areas. That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best securely fenced dog parks throughout the United States!
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!
Do you have a water-loving dog looking to burn some energy? There are countless dog parks to visit throughout our country — but some of them become far too hot in the midday sun to be safe for your pets to play. That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best dog water parks throughout the United States! At these locations, your pup can frolic, splash, and swim to their heart’s content.

Does your dog destroy every toy you give them? Is your house littered with remnants of fabric and stuffing of all different sizes? Are you tired of investing in “indestructible” toys only for your pup to still dismantle—or worse, get bored of—them in just a few days?
You’ve been told your dog needs regular exercise. There’s a reason “walking the dog” is a classic daily activity: Frequent excursions give your pup a chance to experience the world, maintain a healthy weight, and — most importantly — spend time with you! Consistent physical activity can also improve their strength, muscle tone, coordination, and mental ability over time.

Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (like a car or bike) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling feels embarrassing for you — and it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
Do you have a reactive dog or suspect you may have one? You’re not alone!

From 2009 to 2020, there was a 40 percent increase in the development of public dog parks. Designated spots for canine exercise have become commonplace in every major city in North America — many pet owners won’t even consider renting an apartment that doesn’t have its own fenced-in pet area for their canine companions.
Thousand Oaks, California has been a safe haven for Sniffspot host, Jen, since childhood. Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't. For me, the ranch was just my happy place.”
