Furever Home Dog Sanctuary

OUR MISSION: Furever Home Dog Sanctuary rescues and rehabilitates dogs to prepare them to be adopted into their forever home.
OUR VISION: Bettering lives and offering second chances to those most in need through dedication, hope, and compassion.
BACK STORY: In 2022, David and Erin Kerpel started a nonprofit called Furever Home Dog Sanctuary. Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate dogs to improve their quality of life by preparing them to be fostered and adopted into their furever home. After searching for land for over a year, we now have 6 acres in Richmond, Illinois. We will be working with dogs who have been in shelters for extremely long periods of time or have found themselves on a euthanasia list. While in our care, whether it’s months or the rest of their lives dogs will have more space, increased time for socialization with people and other dogs, time dedicated to work with trainers/behaviorists and 6 acres of land to enjoy exploring.
QUALITY OF LIFE: Our organization is set up to work with local not-for-profits in the animal welfare industry to care for dogs whose stays at standard animal shelters have been lengthy through no fault of their own. FHDS will provide all canine residents with personalized, elevated care to include spacious accommodations, excellent nutrition, exercise, grooming, medical attention when needed, professional behavior training, and positive human interaction. FHDS’s goal is to ensure that dogs in our care thrive and are ultimately fostered or adopted into loving homes.
