That They Haven't Been Forgotten

FURS, Friends United with the Richmond Shelter, is a wonderful organization that rescues dogs from the shelter to keep them from being euthanized. What sets them apart from other groups is that many of the dogs they take in have special needs.

Says long-time volunteer, Leah Engel,"I have been volunteering with them for about five and a half years, and it's been an incredibly heartening and rewarding experience -  not only to work with such dedicated, passionate individuals - but to see so many of these dogs who were in SUCH rough shape coming out of the shelter, often having been passed over or given back by other groups, just blossom and flourish and see that they realized that somebody hasn't given up on them.  That they haven't been forgotten.  That they WILL get their chance at a happy life after all!   It brings a tear to my eye every time."

The FURS volunteers are truly dedicated. Each Saturday they set up an adoption stand at the corner of Cary and Auburn, in front of the 7-11. From 12-4pm, you can visit the dogs, make donations and maybe even find a new friend to take home.

One of the great things about FURS is that 100% of your donations goes to the animals. All administrative and legal services of the organization are donated.

If you can make a donation, please contact FURS.

Thinking of buying your furry friend a new bed, toy or other treat this holiday season? Consider buying something for a dog at FURS as well.

You can drop off your donations at the adoption stand.

One last thing - if you, or someone you know has adopted a dog from FURS, will you comment on this post and tell your story? Please feel free to email me photos and I'll post them for you.
