The last two years have been particularly hard for Furever Home, as well as many other local businesses and
non-profits. Since the onset of the COVID pandemic, all fundraising has been halted to keep our animals,
supporters, volunteers, and donors healthy and safe. Even now, years after the global pandemic, Furever
Home is still struggling to recover and operate. "We have amazing local donors and most of them are also
affected by the pandemic, so our source of funding is still decreasing day by day" said Tina Krueger, Volunteer
Fundraising Coordinator for the rescue.
Furever Home Adoption Center's mission is to relieve the suffering and meet the needs of homeless animals
within Lancaster County. The rescue exists through public support and private fundraising, and this event is an
integral part of their ability to help save more lives.
Participants, volunteers, donors and sponsors are still needed for the event. To learn more about the
organization, visit www.FureverHomeAdoptionCenter.com. For more information, contact Tina Krueger at
