What to expect
   from Adoptions

Let me tell you a little bit about what to expect from adoptions at Furever .

All our dogs are dog friendly, kid friendly, and can be cat tested. Unless otherwise noted our pets are dog, cat, and family friendly. We are very upfront about our pets and their personalities.

No guarantees can ever be made with animals but our pets are all evaluated prior to adoption and thoughtfully placed based on their unique strengths and limitations. They will be UTD medically and may have required return visits for more vet care based on their needs.

We are looking for adopters committed to the concept of rescue and eager to become a partner in changing the life of their new pet. People willing to invest time and energy in a successful relationship and healthy.???? We require families to be prepared to work with a trainer and to be willing to work on housebreaking in their home to adopt with us.

Once you’ve decided to work with us and found a pet you like or let us recommend one to you then it’s time to meet our pets at their foster home-most often in Ambler. On that day you will meet your pet and take them home for an in-home trial period. Just to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone!

We require each adopter to join our private Facebook group Furever Family to keep in touch!

Important Details

Here’s some more important details!

Breed listing and age is a guess not a promise!

Your pup must be Spayed/Neutered ASAP once 16 weeks of age- you may not opt to wait till a year or later. All surgeries must be scheduled, within a week of adoption, under the pets rescue name and preformed at Emancipet or Providence Animal Center. No reimbursement for outside providers.

Training is a normal part of pet ownership and professional help is sometimes needed. If you are not able or willing to provide your pet professional training do not adopt from us.

Flea tick and Heartworm prevention are important and required to be continued after adoption as prescribed.

Adult dogs (or any dog over 6 months) is tested for heartworm. A dog can test negative after an exposure and not test positive for up to a year following. We can not prevent or predict this experience or promise future treatments- only that dogs are currently testing negative. Heartworm testing must be performed yearly.

All dogs are extensively tested against other dogs varying in sizes and in ages. Unless very clearly stated- in an individual pets adoption ad -we have found the dogs to be overall dog friendly and tolerant of interactions with other dogs. Keep in mind, animals are PREDICTABLY UNPREDICTABLE. No evaluation can guarantee the individual response of one animal to another and so adopters must have the skill and confidence to handle new adult dogs in new interactions.

Please note there is a $25 appointment cancellation fee. We ONLY set up meets with approved adopters. Also, we do not “hold” dogs for any length of time once an application is approved (example: vacations, moving, travel). Please only apply if you are truly ready *now* to bring a new dog into your home. If you come out for your meet, unless it is not a fit, expect to take your pet and supply package home to start your in home trial. If an in home trial is unsuccessful we can either try another pet or return no judgment. There is a non refundable one time trial fee $100-$250, this portion of the adoption fee will absorb any cost of resources used during our application and trial process. Any adoption fee listed has this fee built into it - it is not in addition to adoption fee.

Before your visit please check out our social media and reviews. When you arrive you should already feel confident in your choice to adopt from Furever Yours Rescue . You are welcome to check in with our primary veterinarians Hatfield Vet Clinic or Springfield Vet Clinic for a referral as well. 🥰

No restrooms are available. There’s a public restroom in a Giant at the corner.

Appointment times are not figurative they are exact- each appointment is allowed one hour and must conclude at the scheduled time.

Foster homes are private residences as is the rescues kennel license address. Do not come to any Furever address without a scheduled appointment. Never enter the premises without permission- do not access gates or doorways without property owner present.

We accept payment in Cash or check. PayPal or Venmo accepted with additional $25 service fee.
