Best Friends Forever Rescue

Best Friends Forever Rescue Best Friends Forever Rescue of Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan (based around Toledo, OH) is The name of our rescue is Best Friends Forever Rescue.

It just seems to fit us. We operate as good friends, both with each other and with each dog. It is a group of volunteers who are loving, caring people with years of knowledge in rescuing “throw away dogs”. We banded together to rescue, provide a place of safety, love and finally to find forever homes to abandoned, stray and neglected dogs. The words “It’s all about the dogs” guides us in the day b

y day program. We are all volunteers who hold many different jobs in “real” life such as teachers, managers, homemakers, government workers, retirees. We are not “professionals” just simply willing to commit to helping these dogs until a good home is found. We have no paid employees and all funds given to our rescue are used for the dogs. Our dogs are placed in foster homes where they are provided with love and understanding as to their needs. Medical care is given to insure they are in good health, which includes spay/neuter and current vaccines before being placed in their forever homes. They are evaluated as to temperament and personality enables us to find and place them in homes that are the right fit for their needs and the needs of their future family.

😳😳😳HOW HAS CHEWY NOT BEEN ADOPTED YET!!!!!😳😳😳

Looking for a walking buddy, couch potato, and best friend all in one?

Chewy is a four-year-old male Shih Tzu who is full of personality, love, and plenty of cuddles. He is house-trained and ready to settle right into his forever home!

Chewy loves being right by your side and is happiest when he can be part of whatever you’re doing. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch, going for a walk, riding in the car, or just hanging around the house, Chewy would love to keep you company.

He is a big fan of kisses and cuddles and loves playing fetch...although bringing the toy back is still optional in Chewy’s world.

Chewy has done well meeting other dogs and would be happy to have a canine companion in his forever home. That said, having another dog is not a requirement for him—he could also thrive as the only dog in the home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion, Chewy may be the perfect addition to your family.

Help Me Get Back on the Road So I Can Keep Helping Rescue Dogs 🐾

I never imagined I would be asking for help like this, but I’m at a point where I don’t know what else to do.

I work and I volunteer with animal rescue, helping transport dogs who need to get to safety. Whether it’s a dog leaving a shelter, going to a foster home, getting to a vet, or simply getting the second chance they deserve, transportation is such an important part of rescue.

I want to keep being that person who says YES.

Unfortunately, my vehicle’s engine failed, and without reliable transportation, I’m struggling to get to work and, even more importantly to me, I’m missing opportunities to help dogs who desperately need transportation.

That has been incredibly difficult.

There are dogs waiting for foster homes. There are rescues trying to move animals to safety. There are opportunities to save lives that I simply cannot take because I don’t have a dependable way to get there.

I’m not asking for a new vehicle. I’m asking for help getting my current vehicle repaired and back on the road.

My goal is $5,500 to help cover the engine and necessary repairs. Thanks to some incredibly generous people, I’ve already raised $3,455, leaving $2,045 to go.

If you can contribute $5, $10, $25, or anything at all, I would be incredibly grateful.

And if you can’t donate, please share this fundraiser. Sharing may seem like a small thing, but it could be the one thing that gets this in front of someone who can help.

Every dollar gets me closer to being able to work and Transport again.

Every dollar also gets me closer to being able to help the dogs again.

I miss being able to say YES.

Please help me get back on the road so I can get back to helping the animals who need me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🐾

❤️🐾 THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. 🐾❤️

I honestly don’t even know how to put into words how grateful I am for everyone who has donated, shared my fundraiser, sent a message, or simply kept me encouraged through all of this.

When I started this fundraiser, asking for help was not easy. I never imagined I would be in a position where something as simple as getting my vehicle back on the road could keep me from working and from helping the rescue dogs I love so much.

But then you showed up for me. ❤️

Every donation, whether it was $5, $10, $25, or more, has meant so much to me. You didn’t just donate toward a vehicle repair. You helped give me a way back to work and back to the dogs who need me.

Because of your generosity, I’m getting closer to being back on the road and being able to say YES again when a dog needs a ride to safety.

I am incredibly thankful for every single person who has helped me get closer to that goal.

And if you haven’t donated but have shared my fundraiser, commented, checked on me, or encouraged me—thank you, too. Every share helps.

I promise that when I’m back on the road, I’ll remember the people who helped me get there.

And I’ll put those miles to good use. 🐶❤️

Thank you for helping me help them.

With a very grateful heart,
🐾❤️
