The shelter has many great supporters who help give deserving dogs care and shelter until they have found a forever home. Every donation means the world to us, and the dogs too. THANK YOU!
Dogs Forever residents and volunteers are so grateful to have an additional Play, Exercise & Training (PET) area available. We have come a long way from our initial single play yard and could not have done it without the support of our great community!

Like humans, older dogs can develop aches and pains. Fortunately, the Petfinder Foundation offers a grant to promote the adoption of dogs, like our 8-year-old Scarlett, who are categorized as seniors. Grant funds may be used to offset the expense of treatable age-related conditions as well as standard costs such as food and vet exams. Kudos to the Petfinder Foundation!! Thank you for awarding Dogs Forever with your PetFinder Foundation Senior Dog Grant for our sweet Scarlett!
