Furever Home is still struggling to recover from the pandemic and continue its operations. At the onset of the pandemic, all fundraising was halted to keep Furever Home's animals, supporters, volunteers, and donors healthy and safe.

Furever Home Adoption Center's mission is to relieve the suffering of and meet the needs of homeless animals within Lancaster County. The rescue exists through public support and private fundraising.

Admission to the Holiday Shopping Fair and parking are free. Participants, volunteers, donors, and sponsors are still needed. For more information, contact Tina Krueger at flippers1@aol.com or 717-808-8108. To learn more about Furever Home, visit http://www.FureverHomeAdoptionCenter.com.
