Orlando Animal shelter Rescue

New rescues and animals with no foster homes are available for foster to adopt. It takes at least 2-3 weeks for a dog or kitty to settle in a home to see their true personality.

Help us save abandoned dogs, pups, cats & kittens (many under-age) from many over-crowded shelters. Let us know what breed type, size and activity level you are looking for. We can then rescue possible matches for you to foster to adopt. Please fill out our online application for dog or online application for cats to foster.

You will be representing FFR as a great volunteer! Please follow our "Code of Ethics" of being Professional, Honorable, Positive and Courteous to everyone. Our mission is on behalf of finding forever homes for our rescue dogs and cats. We all work together as a team.
