“Friends for Life.”
Our organization, Friends for Life, was named after this common expression because we believe that our pets should be sacred members of the family, and live out their lives with their humans.
Sadly, this is not always the case. Sometimes unpreventable circumstances may require that a pet be placed with another individual, or in a sanctuary such as ours. And, sadly, sometimes a companion animal loses its home because of a lack of commitment by its “owner.”
Recently, we have been able to provide sanctuary to dog pairs that have spent their entire lives together. It is very rewarding to be able to provide a home to bonded animals.
We also often have dogs, cats, or horses that bond once they come to the Forever Farm.
Only once, however, have we paired up a dog with a cat. Mona the cat never liked being with other cats, so when little Smokey the terrier mix came to us, we gave it a try. They were put together in a foster situation, and bingo, it was a match. Both of these animals are young seniors, healthy, and adoptable, but only if you take them together.
At the Friends for Life Forever Farm we make a commitment to every animal that joins our family that we will provide them with lifelong care. Even if they are adopted, we welcome them back with open arms at any time.
