Kirbys Friends Animal Rescue

About

Kirby's Friends Animal Rescue was founded in memory of my dog Kirby, whose picture appears at the top of this page, who lost a valiant fight against osteosarcoma. She was my best friend and I still miss her greatly. She was a shelter dog, adopted from the Humane Society as a pup. I've been rescuing dogs for almost two decades, from high kill pounds, abusive homes and sometimes just finding them on the street. But since the economy crashed, we get most of our adoptable dogs as a result of foreclosures..people lose their homes, and then lose their beloved dogs because they can't find anywhere to live that will let them keep them. So we taken 'em in and do our best to find them another loving family. But if we can't, we are also a sanctuary, where they can stay as long as it takes. I firmly believe, if we wait long enough, there is someone for everybody. Four years ago we bought a property and started our own brick and mortar shelter where the dogs get to play outside a lot and are played with a loved until I can find them permanent loving homes. It's very expensive to have your own shelter, and since we are self-funded, and made the mistake of investing all our retirement money in the stock market, just before the crash, we had to give up the shelter and start boarding.. It is very expensive to house, feed and provide vetting for all these dogs, some of whom will be with us forever and we are running short of resources. We can use donations of money, blankets, food, crates, treats, toys, metal pails, medications like Frontline or Heartguard or just moral support.
