Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I want to help, but I can’t take in an animal at this time. Is there something else I can do?
A: There are many ways to give, such as donating a small item from our Amazon Wishlist, donating used blankets or towels, or donating directly to our 501(c)3, Happy FurEver. You can read all of the ways to help by visiting the Get Involved page.

Q: Where did these animals come from?
A: We don’t know all of their stories. Most of our most recent animals were rescued from the South Texas region. You can read all of their individual stories here.

Q: How do you screen potential foster parents?
A: Our priority is the safety of the pets. We use a simple application and a copy of your government-issued identification to screen and track fosters.

Q: What if I don’t know if fostering is right for me?
A: Check out these fantastic articles about fostering here.

Q: Do I get paid to foster an animal?
A: We believe that saving a life is the biggest reward; there is no monetary payment for fostering a pet.

Q: I am ready to adopt! How much does it cost?
A: The adoption fee is $205. This small fee helps us cover a fraction of the cost of the vaccines, spaying/neutering, documentation and care of your new furry friend. Learn more here.

Q: What if I am not ready to adopt but may want to adopt in the future?
A: Join our family by signing up for our Facebook group. We’ll let you know when new pets come in that may be a fit for your home. You’ll also be the first to know when there is a critical need for supplies if you’re available to donate.

Q: Can I email you? I have more questions!
A: YES!!! Please reach out to volunteer@happyfurever.org. We check that email once a day. You can also post on our Facebook group, follow our Facebook page and Instagram if you want to connect with our community, see photos of the animals and help us spread the word on social media.
