We highly recommend Barnaby Heating & Air for all of your AC needs! They’ve been keeping us in tip top shape for nearly 10 years now, ensuring our dogs never have to experience AC failure!

Please give them a call for your summer AC maintenance or any other AC/Heating needs! They’re big supporters of rescue efforts and only adopt when it’s time to add another fur-baby to their family!

These are our people, please support those who support rescue 🐾

🐾 Understanding “No-Kill” in Municipal Shelters 🐾

We know the term “no-kill” can sometimes cause confusion, especially when it comes to municipal animal shelters. We want to help explain what it really means and why it can look different for city-operated facilities like Balch Springs Animal Services.

A “no-kill” shelter generally means saving at least 90% of the animals that enter the shelter. It does not mean that euthanasia never happens. Most municipal shelters are legally required to accept every animal that comes through their doors — including injured, dangerous, suffering, aggressive, or medically/mentally compromised animals.

Unlike private rescues that can limit intake, municipal shelters cannot turn animals away. Our staff works hard every day to find positive outcomes through:
🐶 Adoption
🐱 Rescue partnerships
🏡 Fostering
❤️ Reunification with owners

Euthanasia is only considered in situations involving severe medical suffering, public safety concerns, or when every humane option has been exhausted.

Our goal will always be to save as many lives as possible while protecting both animals and our community. The best way to support lifesaving efforts is by adopting, fostering, volunteering, donating, and ensuring pets are spayed/neutered and properly identified.

Thank you for continuing to support the animals in our care and helping us create better outcomes together. 🐾

Rest in Paradise, to our wonderful friend Maury Munsart. He and his wife, Cher were such very special friends in our lives

They such played a big part in making Friends United in Rescue who we are today. They helped save so many precious dogs and really had our backs ! We’re really gonna miss him but I know they keep my sweet Layla loved up there.

A great friend that Maury introduced us to, Shawn Lyon is doing a fundraiser in his honor, to keep the love flowing for the needy pups, here at FUR, and it would mean a whole lot if all of our friends would donate please

This is the part about MiA that we don’t share much of because we limit how often we take her out into the world….she’s got a lot of fear when she leaves her comfort zone but we still try 😊
