A Forever-Home Rescue Foundation, Inc.

Foreverhome is one of those pet rescue organizations that "get it". They understand that their mission is to find adequate homes for the dogs in their charge, not merely keep them from being euthanised. While they'd probably prefer "perfect" homes for the animals in their charge, they have a realistic understanding of what's going to be a good home. We've adopted two dogs from this group since 2003. Probably would have adopted a third, but they didn't have any pooches in their system that were both compatible with incumbent pets or had that "your my person" vibe. Even so, they reached out to other organizations to try to help us find a pup from one of them. This organization goes the extra mile both for the animals in their charge and the people that seek to adopt.

A Forever-Home is a great place to adopt a dog. We adopted Augie 4 years ago and he has been the best dog I've ever had. Augie came to us crate trained, house broken, and leash trained at 4 months old. His foster did a wonderful job with him and it took a lot of the burden of getting a new puppy off of us! The adoption process was efficient and they even had a discounted rate for him to be neutered. 5 stars for sure!

Three years ago, I adopted my beloved Sophie from A Forever Home. I didn't know much about rescues then. Years later, as my practice moved towards animal law, I had the chance to work with A Forever Home as a client. I could not have been more proud to see that the rescue Sophie came from was so well put together and professional, and so dedicated to animal welfare. A Forever Home does not just focus on local welfare needs. They have been one of the few rescues called upon for aid in puppy mill busts and disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and have been right there to save the animals!

When confronted with a neglect and hoarding situation in rural Virginia, A Forever Home sprung to action. Not only did volunteers and the upper administration get involved personally, the organization rescued the one dog who was in the worst condition of all the dogs who were victims in the animal hoarder's situation. She is now thriving in her foster/forever home.

I can't say I'd change much about it!
I adopted a dog from A Forever Home several years ago. This organization, run entirely by volunteers, is professional, organized, and responsive. The volunteers who conducted the home check were decent, reasonable people who had no agenda, were not judgmental, and were courteous and professional. The dog I adopted was well cared for and healthy - the rescue fully disclosed the dog's veterinary and life history. I recommend this nonprofit as one that is effective, professional and is carrying out its mission to assist and place homeless animals.
