The Doggone Truth About Rescue - Always & Furever
Imagine a place where old, sick, abused, abandoned, & unwanted dogs all come together, to rest, live, play, and snuggle - looking for their future furever family. For some experiencing love for the first & last time. We hope to spread awareness of Always & Furever's mission of waking up into a world where every animal, despite age, breed, or health is treated with kindness, dignity, respect and most importantly has been touched with love, even if only for a moment. It's never too late for happily ever after.
