We pay for spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchips. We also pay 100% of the heartworm treatment costs for heartworm positive dogs, and we pay for numerous specialty surgeries and procedures for sick and injured animals. We also rescue senior dogs with special challenges. Veterinary expenses are our single biggest epense, but this investment allows us to save lives of urgent dogs or cats who otherwise wouldnt have a chance. 147177 FUR Urgent Transport Program helps rescue animals in emergencies, including numerous hurricanes and natural disasters. We completed multiple rescue missions on the ground in Ukraine; in Antakya, Turkey after the devastating earthquake; in the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian; and in Kentucky after the deadly tornado. In every emergency, we help animals and people. Many big shelters get help from large national organizations, but small rural shelters are often overlooked and forgotten. FUR coordinates the logistics, arranges vet care, and manages the transport for smaller shelters. FUR also conducts non-emergency transports to partners in shelters where there is greater demand and lower supply, thus relocating animals to shelters and rescues where they can be safely adopted. 84270 Foster & Adoption Program: FUR pulls dogs and cats from kill shelters and other urgent situations and places the animals in foster homes to give them a chance to decompress, get them veterinary care, and prepare them for adoption. We typically have 50-60 animals in foster homes at any one time. While in foster care, FUR pays for all veterinary expenses, as well as other incidental expenses as required. We purchase food, collars, leashes, crates, and other items needed to assist the foster families to care for their foster animal. We also purchase flea and heartworm prevention for the duration of their stay in the foster home. Because the animals are living with a foster family, we know a lot more about their temperament and personality, and we can use this information to help find a perfect match with the adopter. Part 19123 Shelter and rescue assist: FUR provides shelter for rescued animals. FUR assists rural shelters and other rescues by helping to pay for certain vet expenses, vaccines, microchips, preventatives and other supplies to help them rescue animals. 1377 Save Our Strays: FUR introduced this program in 2017 as a new intake diversion program to rescue stray dogs and cats, get them vet care and move them into foster homes. We were already assisting other rescues and private individuals in trapping or recovering stray dogs. FUR has trapped many long term strays. Animal Control Officers dont have the time to dedicate to trapping difficult to locate animals. Our rescues run from a few hours to several months. 20500 419496 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false FL X X X Mike Merrill 9045539779 140 Ashton Oaks Drive Saint Augustine FL 32092 Mike Merrill Executive Director 80.00 0.00 X X X 46600 0 0 Susan Jones Merrill Director 60.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly MacDade Director 25.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Moon Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jana Andrews Director 20.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 46600 0 0 0 false false false 428948 19590 428948 Adoption Program 812900 18280 18280 18280 167 167 5566 7434 -1868 -1868 -1868 31292 532 30760 30760 476287 16412 0 30927 46600 46600 1025 1025 50 50 4888 4888 23552 23552 Adoption & Foster Programs 84270 84270 Shelter & Rescue Assist 19123 19123 Veterinary Expenses 167549 167549 Urgent Transport 77025 77025 2915 1377 1538 426997 419496 2613 4888 41196 76485 86820 33864 41250 52956 82446 129441 2295 2295 0 X 80151 129441 80151 129441 82446 129441 49290 0 X false false false X 108257 178936 424703 406061 478520 1596477 108257 178936 424703 406061 478520 1596477 0 0 0 0 0 0 1596477 46 85 437 329 167 1064 46 85 437 329 167 1064 108303 179021 425140 406390 478687 1597541 0.99930 0.99930 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 86820 33864 52956 52956 Bark&Stroll 21557 21557 171 Gala 9735 9735 361 31292 31292 532 532 30760 Officer directors etc family relationship Part VI line 2 The executive director is married to another director.
