Our mission

As simple and direct as our name

Place dogs into safe homes before shelters can euthanize them — because every person benefits from a dog’s unconditional love.

Adopt any dog at any participating shelter or foster home

This program was created with one thought in mind: placing dogs with individuals and families regardless of their income level. We cover all costs for those who qualify.

If you qualify, there is absolutely no cost for adoption. The Foundation pays approved expenses for the life of the dog you adopt — forever — as long as you meet program requirements, remain on a fixed or low income, and provide a happy, healthy, safe home.

If your home and finances allow, you can apply to adopt two, three, four or up to five dogs (subject to approval).

Community impact

Our volunteers reach out to veteran organizations that work with PTSD, counselors who treat stress for adults and children, and school programs and counselors — wherever a therapy-approved animal can heal and bring life and hope to people who are suffering.

A gift of love

We all know someone on a low income — a senior, a veteran, a neighbor on disability. Help them fill out an application, and once they’re approved, give them a ride to a partner shelter to pick out a forever friend. Forever Care will pay the bill.

Our staff & transparency

Let’s empty the shelters

Forever Care will never pay large salaries to anyone and will submit to nonprofit watchdog organizations for total transparency. We will first show our success in Arizona, then grow to other states as sponsors and organizers come aboard.

Pets provide unconditional love, joy and companionship to people all over the world. Despite all that they give, millions are put down each year because of lack of resources. Our main goal is to galvanize our community to finally put an end to this unjust killing.

Tell everyone you know — let’s stop county shelters from euthanizing dogs, forever.

Ready to bring a dog home?

If you qualify, adoption is free and we keep covering food, shots and vet care for the life of your dog.
