Friends Furever Animal Rescue, Inc. is an all-volunteer, foster-based 501(c)3 non-profit rescue, founded by Dave Wright on February 5th, 2015 in Jerome, Idaho.
We are committed to helping homeless, abandoned, and at-risk animals find happy, furever homes! We refuse to turn a blind eye when it comes to neglected, abandoned, and abused animals. With your help, we pull animals from shelters who have received a death sentence, rescue animals from owners who surrender their pets for various reasons and often even go to the extremes of humanely trapping animals that find themselves frightened and abandoned out on the streets alone. We also rehab behavior-challenged dogs. The rescue originated in the Magic Valley, but because of the need, it has expanded to include the Treasure Valley.
This rescue organization is comprised of a small, core team of dedicated volunteers and dozens of other volunteers who willingly foster, transport, dog-walk, or assist with vaccines and microchips. Somehow, we manage between 50 and 100 dogs at any given time.
The needs of animals in our care are met without a second thought. These needs include vaccinations, microchips, spay/neuter, and basic medical care. We also provide our foster home families with financial support for food, toys, and continued medical care. Our #1 goal, no matter what it takes or how difficult the struggles, is to make SURE that our rescues are as healthy as possible so they can be as HAPPY as possible.
We receive no government funding and rely solely on donations to continue our mission of helping dogs find loving homes. Every little bit helps. We are so grateful for our partners and supporters who are part of the team ensuring this non-profit organization continues running and keeps our rescues healthy, safe, and happy.
Our donors are the "Knights in Shining Armor" of this rescue as you are the ones that make rescue possible. You are loved and applauded in every single success story we share, and we have A LOT of success stories because of your generosity!
Mission and Vision
Friends Furever Animal Rescue (FFAR) is a passionate, all-volunteer, non-profit animal rescue organization located in Southern Idaho. Our mission is to combat the challenges of pet overpopulation, abuse, and neglect within our community by providing essential support, including food, shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation to animals in need. We are dedicated to finding loving homes for these animals, ultimately creating better lives for those without a home.
Adoption Policy
Adoption process
Complete an easy, online adoption application that includes the upload of photos and/or videos of where the dog will live, including yard and fenceline, if applicable.
We may conduct a home check and background check.
Approved applicants are interviewed and a meet-and-greet with the dog is scheduled.
Once approved, you will remain approved with the rescue for one year and can email us when you see a dog that you think could be a good fit for you!
Final adoptions are conducted only after the dog is:
--spayed/neutered,
--current on health vaccines, and
--microchipped.
An adoption fee is collected via online or traditional methods. The microchip is transferred into adopter name by our volunteers, and medical records are provided to the adopter

Get your dog the safe enrichment they need by renting a Sniffspot
David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
