A Forever Home Rescue Foundation

Labor Day Weekend is here, and our amazing volunteers have earned a little time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the long weekend! ❤️ That means there will be NO adoption event this Labor Day Weekend (contracts will still be signed as scheduled.) Our volunteers give so much of their time and hearts to our animals, and we want them to have the opportunity to relax, spend time with family and friends, and come back refreshed and ready to help our furry friends find their forever homes.

So, while our adoption team takes a well-deserved break, we hope you’ll take a break too! Grab your favorite humans (and, of course, your four-legged family members) and enjoy the holiday weekend. 🐶🐾

🎉 But Don’t Miss The Forever Pawty!

Even though we’re taking a short adoption break, there’s still something BIG to look forward to! Join us for The Forever Pawty – 2026 Dog & Family Reunion! 🐕🎊 It’s a celebration of the dogs and families who have found their happily-ever-after, and we can’t wait to see everyone back together again. Whether you’re a Forever Family, a longtime supporter, a volunteer, or simply someone who loves dogs, we want you there!

A few of AFH’s available pups enjoyed a morning filled with love, affection, and plenty of attention at ADESA Auto Auction in Sterling, located off Route 606. The ADESA team wanted to shine a spotlight on some special pups in honor of Adopt a Dog Day, giving them a chance to show off their sweet personalities and hopefully capture a few hearts along the way. AFH volunteers Leslie and Wendy brought Brand New Day Parker, SBG Mopsy, and SBG Blossom our lucky canine ambassadors for the morning, and they certainly enjoyed all the extra love and attention. A big thank-you to the wonderful folks at ADESA for celebrating these deserving pups and helping spread the word about adoption!

Bridget recently celebrated a very special milestone—her 10th birthday! For her birthday wish, Bridget decided she wanted to collect donations for A Forever Home Rescue, the organization where she adopted her sweet dog Marshall. Rather than asking for gifts for herself, Bridget wanted to give back and help other dogs find their forever homes.

Thanks to her thoughtful idea and the generosity of family and friends, Bridget collected an incredible $185, along with a wonderful variety of toys and treats for the dogs! 

Thank you, Bridget, for thinking of the dogs and helping A Forever Home Rescue continue its mission!

Happy 10th Birthday, Bridget!

A Forever Home was honored to be the recipient of a generous pet supply donation drive organized by Aiden Lu as part of his Eagle Scout Project. Aiden worked with surrounding communities to collect much-needed supplies for our rescue. Thanks to his dedication and the incredible generosity of local families, an amazing 20 boxes of pet supplies were donated, including dog food, puppy food, training pads, and so much more! We are incredibly grateful to Aiden for choosing A Forever Home as the beneficiary of his project and to everyone who helped him with the drive and everyone in the surrounding communities who contributed. Your kindness will make a meaningful difference in the lives of the animals in our care. Thank you, Aiden, and thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful project! ❤️🐾
