About Florida Urgent Rescue

FUR-Group-Photo_9223_1250_72.jpg

Our mission is to save animals from kill shelters and other urgent situations. We take on tough cases, including dogs who have been hit by cars, who have gunshot wounds, embedded collars, cancerous tumors and other major medical problems. We rescue seniors, pregnant mamas and mamas with litters. We focus primarily on rural shelters with limited resources, and we try to help the animals who need the most help.

We save animals from kill shelters and other urgent situations.

Our Mission

Our Vision

Our mission is to save animals from kill shelters and other urgent situations. Unfortunately, the "other urgent situations" are becoming all too common. 

 

Our FUR Urgent Transport Program has helped rescue hundreds of animals in many hurricanes and natural disasters, and we've done multiple rescue missions on the ground in Ukraine. We also do non-emergency transports to relieve pressure on overcrowded shelters.

We try to help the animals who need the most help. We focus primarily on rural shelters with limited resources. The multi-million dollar shelters don't need our help.

One rural shelter we support is behind the landfill. Another consists of 14 outdoor kennels at the prison, run by the solid waste department. These shelters do the best they can, but they don't have the staff or resources they need.
