Home Fur-Ever would like to thank the following people & organizations for their past and continued donations and support.

 

John A. Hermann, D.V.M.

Dr. Hermann is a wonderful vet that provides alot of veterinary services for our animals at discounted rates.  Dr. Hermann is excellent with the animals, even those who have been extremely traumatized, and if you are located in his geographic vicinity, he will even conduct home visits as may be required.   We are extremely grateful to the doctor for all he does to help our animals, and want to thank him for his efforts on behalf of the animals and the HomeFur-ever organization.

Dr. John Hermann, D.V.M.

 

Wilson Veterinary Hospital

Dr. Wilson is an excellent veterinarian who helps us with some of our most difficult cases; particularly those in need of restorative surgeries and exceptional measures to save their lives.  He and his firm have been very giving to our organization in providing us with discounts on services and equipment needed to aid our animals.  We're extremely grateful to Dr. Wilson and his staff for their exceptional assistance to our rescued animals, and would like to thank them on behalf of the HomeFur-ever organization.

Catherine's Pet Parlor

We would love to express our gratitude to Catherine of Catherine's Pet Parlor in Royal Oak who has helped HomeFur-ever in many ways, including:  allowing us to use her facility on days it is not normally open so we may conduct animal adoption events, grooming our animals so they look their best when meeting potential adoptive families, and making donations that help us care for the animals. We appreciate Catherine's assistance tremendously.

Powerful Design

The owners of Powerful Design have been kind enough to donate design and web development services for this wonderful new website which will allow us to reach more people, and ultimately, to assist more animals.  They have contributed a substantial amount of work at no cost to us because of their belief in our mission.  We are extremely grateful to be able to provide a more professional-looking representation of the work we do on behalf of our rescued furry friends, and are very appreciative of Powerful Design's efforts on our behalf.

Strategic Growth Concepts

Strategic Growth Concepts has been invaluable in assisting us in the development of our Marketing and Public Relations strategies to help grow awareness of HomeFur-ever and our Mission.  Their efforts have included the build-out and on-going maintenance of our new website and our blog, as well as the development of a wide range of social media strategies which will enable our organization to reach into the community to obtain volunteers, foster parents, adoptive families, financial contributions, in-kind donations, and referrals to animals in need of assistance; thereby allowing us to assist more animals.  We are grateful to be able to increase the profile of our organization in the community we serve, and for all efforts which enable us to aid more animals in need.

Pet Supplies Plus

(Farmington Hills)
For hosting our adoption events on an on-going basis, and allowing us to raise operating funds through our annual 'Photos with Santa' (also thanks to our Santa’s: Mark Ray, & Jimmy), 'Easter Bunny', and donation box promotions. They also accept food and other donations on our behalf.  They have been one of our main adoption locations, and strongest supporters, for a very long period of time.

Petfinder

Petfinder provides webspace and databank services at no charge on a nationwide basis, in a format that can be customized to enable local rescue groups to list animals for adoption in their specific geographic areas.  A hearty thank you goes out to Petfinder because if it weren’t for them we wouldn’t have the capability of showcasing our animals in an easy-to-use format for you to review, select, and ultimately adopt  our animals and become their “fur-ever” home.

Those who help us raise funds

Buffalo Wild Wings - Livonia

Caribou Coffee - Commerce Township

Brown Dog Welding - Brown Dog Welding is a welding and fabrication shop located in Mt. Clemens, MI that specializes in unique and customized home furnishings, accessories, and sculptures. The name of the business comes from combining the two loves of the owner: welding and my dog Woodson (who was obtained from HomeFur-ever).  Because the owner is true animal lover, his company is now splitting 10% of his company's profits between HomeFur-ever and another charity.  We're very grateful for both the wonderful home they are providing to Woodson, and the donations being made to HomeFur-ever.

Donated printed promotional materials for a recent bottle & can fundraising drive on behalf of HomeFur-ever. Their charitable act enabled the the raising of $1500 to help animals.

 

Those who have provided assistance after the recent robbery of our equipment and supplies:

HomeFur-ever would like to extend our deepest gratitude to those who have provided us with equipment & supply donations, cash donations and offers to volunteer assistance during this time of extreme need. 

While a situation as we recently experienced with the theft of all of our equipment and supplies is never easy to deal with or to overcome, we are VERY proud to say that the assistance we have received from the Detroit community has helped us to continue our care of our animals and has shown a very positive side of the Detroit metro area.

Though the gifts large and small have been too numerous to list here individually, we wish that every group and individual who has provided that assistance to us will accept our sincere thanks on behalf of our group and the animals we care for.

 

Individual Assistance

A hearty 'thanks' to all of our dedicated foster homes. Because of them, our animals are able to become well-socialized and prepared to enter a family environment without trauma. Many of these families have other animals, and some of them have children, thus further preparing our adoptable animals with a more diverse ability to adapt to many different living circumstances. Foster homes are one of our most valuable, and in short supply, resources and we really cannot offer enough thanks to the those who have opened their homes to abandoned, abused, and homeless animals. (HINT: New foster homes are ALWAYS needed, click HERE to apply)

And finally, a HUGE thank you to our founder Marilyn McKiddie, and all the volunteers who show up to participate week-after-week to donate their time to finding permanent homes for these wonderful, loving animals so that they may finally experience a loving, caring quality-of-live as they so richly deserve. Without our volunteers, this organization could not, and would not, exist; please click HERE if you would like to join our volunteers in providing love and assistance to animals in need.
