Age Appropriate Shots – FUR allows for up to 3 sets of vaccines for puppies under our care as they become age appropriate. We provide annual shots for all other dogs over the appropriate age limit. Rabies shots are included and will be given as age appropriate for puppies and with annual vaccines for adults, while they are in our care. Vet Care is extremely expensive and many times, the adoption fee doesn't cover their total bill and we depend on donations to supplement.

All dogs/cats are micro-chipped and registered to FUR

Dogs that have not had their spay/neuter completed, at the time of adoption, will be initiated as a "Pre-Adoption." with an Addendum. The Adoption will not be finalized until their surgery has been completed. (More info will be provided)

Additionally there may be some procedures performed outside of those outlined which are deemed necessary for the health of the dog at that time. If there is an existing condition for the animal that Friends United in Rescue (FUR) is aware of, you will be informed. Please remember that these are rescue dogs/cats and we do not know their full history. It is possible that your dog/cat may have a health related problem that has not been diagnosed.

Q: Does Friends United in Rescue(FUR) allow adoptions to families with children ages 5 and under?

A: We have the right to deny any application, but with children this young, we will tend to be more picky.

It will definitely depend on the dog and if we feel it will be fit with the family.

The adopter must come to Rowlett, TX to pick up their new pet or locate a private pet transportation to make arrangements for their pet to be brought to them. Adopters are responsible for any Transportation fees.
