    Very nice people. All the cats were so lovable it was so hard to choose a new family member. The cat room was clean and spacious. All the kitties just wanted to come home! My fiancé & I adopted our newest family member from here today. Oreo Milkshake she’s the sweetest Kitty ever! She’s been purring nonstop since we got her. She’s already spoiled! Would definitely recommend going here!

    Adopted our sweet cat from this rescue and they were so patient as we wrangled our kids to find the perfect cat or kitten to adopt. Ended up with a two year gorgeous cat who gets along great with our kids and is an absolutely hilarious and friendly girl.

    I found a stray pit who was injured and malnourished, literally no other shelter or even dog control would take her or help me. She was the sweetest dog I felt so bad but I’m not allowed to have dogs at my apartment but the lovely ladies here were able to take her in within a weeks time and had a foster for her 🥹 I truly hope she’s taken care of and couldn’t be more grateful!

    The owner is extremely kind and hard working, I have had nothing but good experiences with the volunteers. It is volunteer and foster based, so the animals are always the first priority and receiving top level care.

    We adopted our pets from Friends Forever and they are amazing. We did have to hire a trainer for our puppy (because he was a puppy). Our pets are special gifts to us and our family members. The rescue did everything they could to be there for us during the adoption process. They answered all of our questions and promised to help in any way.

    Such an amazing place! Every volunteer was so welcoming and informational. We adopted our Tiny girl from here. She was rescued from a puppy mill and they made sure she was spayed before adoption. Her baby making days are OVER and she has grown to be such a confident playful little one. Every one of their dogs are fostered and get to experience what it’s like to be in a home with lots of love as they wait for their forever family to come along ❤️

    I had a great experience adopting a cat from Friends Forever Animal Rescue! After we were approved to adopt, we made an appointment and visited. Its clear that the staff and adoption folks really care for these animals. We were able to take our time meeting the cats and the staff were very supportive without making us feel pressured. It is same day adoption and we went home with a cat, but we didnt feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. Our cat is absolutely awesome -- hes a great fit. Id fully recommend this shelter and if we ever are looking for another cat in the future, this is where wed go, without a doubt.

    Very friendly people but that was all I meant there. They do make you feel at ease and allow you to give them your loved one to rehome even when it isnt what you want to do but must do. I got the feeling that they have very big hearts. ✌️

  • Review 9 (2023-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    My family adopted two kittens. It has been a few months now. It was great to have them come home fully vaccinated and fixed. We were able to continue their care with our own vet. The kittens have fully acclimated to the household with my dog and kids. We couldn’t be happier!

  • Review 10 (2023-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    We have adopted three furry family members all from Friends forever. Coffee(cat), Penelope(cat), and Nola(dog). I highly recommend this rescue. The volunteers are all friendly and very helpful. The facility is very clean and the animals are all well taken care of.

  • Review 11 (2024-08-17 - Rating: 5)

    They take a lot of time and hour to take care and save these animals for adoption make and appointment if see something you love or give a donation it keep them going.👍👍👍

  • Review 12 (2023-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    This facility is absolutely amazing! 4 years ago I adopted Tula (formerly Sassy). Everyone that volunteers there is very helpful and friendly. They really do care about the animals that come into facility and making sure they have a good home. They allowed me to bring Tula home and make sure she was the purrrfect fit for my family. My mother had the same experience when she adopted a senior cat named Norman a few years ago! I couldn’t recommend them enough.

  • Review 13 (2023-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    The staff was friendly and informative. The application process was easy and showed that the shelter cares that their animals go to a good home! The kitten we got there is one of the friendliest and easy going cats we have ever had. Their wonderful foster system gets the animals ready for their forever homes and allows the shelter to help more animals! I would highly recommend getting your next pet from them.

  • Review 14 (2024-06-16 - Rating: 4)

    Great place to adopt a forever member of our family. The team was knowledgeable about our new member.

  • Review 15 (2024-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    I just adopted the sweetest kitty! The adoption was easy, and everyone was beyond wonderful! Especially Jessica! You can tell how much they believe in what theyre doing and how much they care about the animals!

  • Review 16 (2022-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    I was so impressed with this facility and staff. They were organized and the animals were obviously well cared for. Our neighbors left their cat and her three 4wo kittens when they moved. We took them in temporarily, but werent able to give them the care they needed. Plus our fur babies werent very impressed with the new additions. I called various shelters but had no luck. FFAR had no problem taking them in asap. Thank you for taking care of all the little fur friends.

  • Review 17 (2023-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    This was by far the best adoption experience. We lost our beloved heeler last April and finally felt like we were ready to have another dog. Casey and her team helped us find the perfect addition to our pack. On pick up day, Casey walked me through everything I needed and continued to support after we brought her home. Hands down would adopt from here again!

  • Review 18 (2024-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    My family recently adopted Alex the B, (Now known as Fasa ) He is adjusting wonderfully and we all are so fond of him!! Suzanne and Casey are so dedicated to these animals. The world should have more Suzanne and Caseys in it !! Thank You for all you do. Wishing you all the best. Crystal C

  • Review 20 (2023-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    I wasnt actually planning to add another dog so soon, but while I was trying to help someone else find a dog, I stumbled upon a a Malinois at Forever Friends. Her post didnt give a whole lot of info, but that she needed an experienced home. I figured she wasnt available any more, but as a professional dog trainer involved in dog sports, I am experienced with Malinois, and I couldnt help myself. I reached out, introduced myself, and was put in touch with Pebbles foster, Megan. I kind of expected to be denied on account of having intact dogs, or treated weirdly because my dogs have all come from breeders. I didnt get any sort of poor or unfair treatment, though! Megan was absolutely wonderful to talk to, and I ended up meeting Pebbles and falling in love. Ive had her for about three months now, and have stayed in touch with Megan and the shelter to keep them updated on her progress. Her name is now Bunny, and she is absolutely the most wonderful dog. If she had been in a shelter setting, I think she would have regressed badly, but instead she was placed with a knowledgeable, kind foster who helped her flourish! Absolutely the best experience Ive ever had working with or adopting from a rescue, and Im so, so thankful to have Bunny in my life now. Thank you Megan and everyone at Forever Friends, I cannot express how happy I am 🥰

    All the cats are fostered at a early age making the kittens very friendly and well adjusted to homes with other cats/dogs and kids. They come fixed and fully vetted before they get adopted out. They personally know each cats personality to help find the perfect addition to your family.

  • Review 22 (2021-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve adopted 3 parakeets and 1 kitten from Friends Forever Animal Rescue.Casey and the other volunteers there are always so friendly and helpful with any questions.The facility is always immaculately clean!!! The pets are always well cared for, fed, watered; litter boxes are clean!During these hard times to get a vet to spay or neuter, Casey always finds a way to get it done! All cats are spayed or neutered before adoption!The adoption fees are very reasonable considering all the vet care that goes into the pets before adoption!

  • Review 23 (2023-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Many of my neighbors rescued dogs from friends forever and all their dogs are well adapted! This rescue is foster based so they really get to know the dogs and the dogs adapt to living in a house.

  • Review 24 (2021-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    This is such an amazing caring organization! The love and time that this rescue puts into each and every rescue animal is just incredible. I reached out for 2 kittens that needed to be rescued, no questions asked Casey took them in! I also adopted two kittens at this rescue. I cannot say enough good things about this rescue!

  • Review 25 (2021-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    My husband and I adopted our Marley from Friends Forever Animal Rescue. They were so easy to work with. Adoption application is online, payment was easy, and this guy came to us a very happy, well adjusted boy. We couldn’t be happier with our new addition. 💜🐾

  • Review 26 (2021-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    I have adopted 4 kitty furbabies from FFAR since 2019, and theyre amazing! Casey has the biggest heart and takes in any animal in need, even when space is limited and finances are tight, the animals come first. Our first kitten we adopted there was the healthiest adoptee weve ever had. I left a stellar review on their social media page the next day, its a big deal when you can see just how well the animals are cared for! Weve adopted 3 others from FFAR since we got Bailey.As a side note: Please keep in mind that because spay and neuters were canceled due to the pandemic last year (because they were considered non-essential 😡), all rescues are overwhelmed and inundated with cats and kittens now.Rescues are bursting at the seams, and when the donations are down, adoptions are down, and theres just so many to be adopted...sometimes they just cant take in any new cats that arent emergencies. Ive seen on social media people complaining about all the local rescues being too full to help them, and unfortunately that is true.So I would hope people keep that in mind before leaving negative reviews on rescue pages, here and on social media! Theyre doing everything they can to help the furbabies!

  • Review 27 (2023-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Casey and her team at Friends Forever Animal Rescue go above and beyond to help the dogs in our community that need a second chance at life! I would highly recommend supporting their efforts in anyway you can! 🐾

  • Review 28 (2021-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    Casey is amazing! Such a big heart and a true advocate for animals. The place is immaculate and so many sweet little faces waiting for forever homes! Please adopt from here if you are looking to add a furbaby to your family. Or donate to help with the care of these angels while they wait for their new families. If you can write Grants, they REALLY need some help with Grants and fund raising, to remain in business of saving these precious lives.

  • Review 29 (2022-12-05 - Rating: 5)

    Recently, our family has been blessed with a new forever friend we have named Boaz. What an amazing cat we have and we couldnt be more happy with their loving service. If your family is in need of a heart warming forever friend, give them a call and see what blessing you could have the privilege to love and have love you.

  • Review 30 (2023-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    Because of Friends Forever taking in and caring for a beautiful young mother I found the next love of my life. I cannot say thank you enough to the good Samaritan who brought her to the rescue and to Casey and her team for taking such good care of her. Butterscotch now goes by Leeloo ( she has a multipass), and is an amazing and loved part of our family. If you have room in your home and heart for an addition to your family I cannot recommend them enough.

  • Review 31 (2021-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    We adopted our cat from FFAR and he is wonderful. He was neutered , litter trained and vaccinated. FFAR does a great job with all of the animals they rescue and let you know about each pets personality and needs.❤️🤗

    Loved this rescue. They are friendly and helpful and truly care about the pets. The shelter is clean and organized and well run. We adopted one cat and one kitten from them.

  • Review 34 (2021-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    We should had a sad poor little kitty come out of nowhere, we called and two lovely ladies came right out to rescue “moana”. Wonderful experience given the circumstances! Thank you for being fast and friendly and willing to drive to get her. Even was told we could check in on the kitty!

    My trusted shelter in town. I follow their facebook page and I love the work that they do.

  • Review 42 (2021-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    Ive adopted two cats from this rescue and had great experiences each time.

  • Review 43 (2023-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    This is a great place, filled with knowledgeable people who genuinely care about the animals they work with. They also use good fosters so that the pets are not kept in kennels. Knowledgeable is the one word I want to emphasize the most. If/when we get another animal, we will go through them again, hands down. We adopted our handsome boy from them today, and will be returning to finish his vaccines and schedule his neuter when the time is right. Im so happy they are doing the not-always-easy job of working in the rescuing and adoption field.

  • Review 47 (2023-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    This rescue was seriously the best place Ive ever adopted a Pet! We adopted an amazing dog who was named flounder. He was in foster care for 7 weeks when we met him. When I arrived there (after driving in a thunderstorm), I went to pay with a card, come to find out they didnt take credit cards. I was devastated. I asked the owner if I could pay with paypal.... thank goodness she allowed me to!! This was the best place

  • Review 51 (2023-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    My colleague and I removed two dogs from a neglectful situation and no other shelter or animal control in all the county would take them except Friends Forever. The dogs were scared and the two ladies at the rescue showed compassion and gave us so much hope for those pups. Thank you for all the good that you do for our community!

  • Review 53 (2022-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    Took in a few kittens a friend of mine had. Found them the care and homes they needed.

  • Review 54 (2022-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    These are the most amazing and caring people you will ever meet. If you are looking for an animal, please, adopt from them. When I found a cat abandoned on the side of the road I was unable to find it a home. Without means to keep it for myself I called everywhere and drove different places for days trying to find this little guy a home. When all hope was lost, Friends Forever Animals took him in, despite having no openings. Originally I was told they could not take them until Thursday, but after hearing about my situation they made an opening for him because these people genuinely care. Please adopt from Friends Forever Animal Rescue, they are some seriously amazing people and are doing the work of saints.
