TO RESCUE ANIMALS FROM KILL SHELTERS AND OTHER URGENT SITUATIONS.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

URGENT TRANSPORT PROGRAM: DURING HURRICANES AND NATURAL DISASTERS, A FLOOD OF STRAY DOGS AND CATS COME INTO SHELTERS. OVERCROWDED SHELTERS HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KILL ANIMALS WHO WERE ALREADY THERE TO MAKE ROOM FOR INCOMING STRAYS. FUR COORDINATED RELIEF EFFORTS DURING HURRICANES HARVEY AND IRMA IN 2017, HURRICANES FLORENCE AND MICHAEL IN 2018, AND HURRICANES BARRY AND DORIAN IN 2019. IN 2020, FUR CONDUCTED RELIEF MISSIONS FOR HURRICANE LAURA IN LOUISIANA. MANY BIG SHELTERS GET HELP FROM LARGE NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, BUT SMALL RURAL SHELTERS ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED AND FORGOTTEN. FUR COORDINATES THE LOGISTICS, ARRANGES VET CARE, AND MANAGES THE TRANSPORT FOR SMALLER SHELTERS. FUR ALSO CONDUCTS NON-EMERGENCY TRANSPORTS TO PARTNERS IN SHELTERS WHERE THERE IS GREATER DEMAND AND LOWER SUPPLY, THUS RELOCATING ANIMALS TO SHELTERS AND RESCUES WHERE THEY CAN BE SAFELY ADOPTED.


VETERINARY SERVICES: FUR PROVIDES ALL VETERINARY SERVICES NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE DOG OR CAT IS HEALTHY WHEN THEY ARE ADOPTED. WE PAY FOR SPAY/NEUTER, VACCINATIONS, AND MICROCHIPS. WE ALSO PAY 100% OF THE HEARTWORM TREATMENT COSTS FOR HEARTWORM POSITIVE DOGS, AND WE PAY FOR NUMEROUS SPECIALTY SURGERIES AND PROCEDURES FOR SICK AND INJURED ANIMALS. WE ALSO RESCUE SENIOR DOGS WITH SPECIAL CHALLENGES. VETERINARY EXPENSES ARE OUR SINGLE BIGGEST EPENSE, BUT THIS INVESTMENT ALLOWS US TO SAVE LIVES OF URGENT DOGS OR CATS WHO OTHERWISE WOULDNT HAVE A CHANCE.


FOSTER PROGRAM: FUR PULLS DOGS AND CATS FROM KILL SHELTERS AND OTHER URGENT SITUATIONS AND PLACES THE ANIMALS IN FOSTER HOMES TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DECOMPRESS, GET THEM VETERINARY CARE, AND PREPARE THEM FOR ADOPTION. DURING 2018, WE HAD 35-50 ANIMALS IN FOSTER HOMES AT ANY ONE TIME. WHILE IN FOSTER CARE, WE PAY FOR ALL VETERINARY EXPENSES, AS WELL AS OTHER INCIDENTAL EXPENSES AS REQUIRED. WE PURCHASE FOOD, COLLARS, LEASHES, CRATES, AND OTHER ITEMS NEEDED TO ASSIST THE FOSTER FAMILIES TO CARE FOR THEIR FOSTER ANIMAL. WE ALSO PURCHASE FLEA AND HEARTWORM PREVENTION FOR THE DURATION OF THEIR STAY IN THE FOSTER HOME. BECAUSE THE ANIMALS ARE LIVING WITH A FOSTER FAMILY, WE KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT THEIR TEMPERAMENT AND PERSONALITY, AND WE CAN USE THIS INFORMATION TO HELP FIND A PERFECT MATCH WITH THE ADOPTER.
