Red Fern Animal Rescue

Red Fern Animal Rescue is a foster-based, all volunteer organization run by individuals with a passion for helping animals of all ages, sizes, and breeds with a special focus on aiding the "underdog" or "undercat". With the appropriate medical care and emotional support, these animals have the opportunity to thrive in a new home/environment. Our furry friends are worth it, a thousand times over!

TESTIMONIALS:

**There really are no words to describe Melissa and Gregg with Red Fern. They are beyond selfless, devoted, and dedicated to saving animals from S. Texas. We have adopted 2 dogs through them. Our Lucy Lou, who we have had for a little over 6 years, was heartworm positive and a complete mess. She is the sweetest, most loving dog with the softest ears ever! Her favorite things to do are fetching her ball and jumping in the water (she is a black Lab mix or almost all Lab). About a year and a half ago, my daughter was volunteering at one of their events and sure enough we came home with a puppy we named Baby Bella Boo Boo. She is also very sweet but loves to taunt her older sister by trying to chase her and lick her - lol :) Our lives would not be the same without either and we owe it all to Red Fern! 

Thank you from the Acton's xoxo**

**We have had the pleasure of fostering to adopt two wonderful dogs from Red Fern. Both of our boys had terrible beginnings, and we are beyond grateful that Red Fern gave them the opportunity to live their best lives with us. We have always been in awe of how Melissa and Gregg manage all of the moving parts of rescuing while she is busy teaching 5th graders at the same time. Their hearts are immense and their passion for saving lives of the voiceless is remarkable given how truly challenging the work is. They make the process of fostering and/or adopting easy and answer any and all questions along the way. If it’s not a perfect fit, there is no judgment as they truly want their rescues to go to the right home. There was a hole in my heart when my first fur baby crossed the rainbow bridge and something…I’ll call it serendipity, led us to Red Fern and we are so thankful their rescue came into our lives when it did. We have many friends who have made the choice to adopt from Red Fern as well and that connection runs deep. They are beyond a doubt, the most passionate rescuers we know, and we feel lucky to be part of their journey to save as many lives as they possibly can!**

**I adopted Rudy T. Hills from Red Fern Animal Rescue in January of 2020.  He was a true blessing just before the Covid shutdown. RFAR coordinated Rudy's care and treatment in TX and then transported multiple dogs from TX to CO in Dec 2019, where I met my Rudy at PetSmart. Melissa and her husband, Gregg, work tirelessly  to rehome dogs from TX through their non-profit Red Fern.  I highly recommend them!!**

**I have adopted two dogs from Red Fern and it has been such a great experience. Red Fern is very passionate about what they do and truly care for each and every animal! They are wonderful to work with!**

**I have been associated with Red Fern Animal Rescue for just over 3 years . One of their volunteers reached out to me to foster a bonded pair of pooches that were headed for euthanasia by the owner's family when she was moved into nursing care . The two were happily adopted by a lovely couple. I immediately took another puppy for a few days and fell in love with him. His new dad picked him up and his sister filled that space permanently. I was a foster failure. Since then I have fostered multiple pups and am so happy to find them their forever homes with fantastic people.  Red Fern’s passion for saving all these four legged creatures who would have otherwise been destined to death is to be commended .  I continue to volunteer and fail occasionally but every animal deserves a chance at its best life, and Red Fern ensures them that opportunity . Until we learn to do better with spay and neuter programs, Red Fern will continue to work towards saving these poor animals.  Their goal is saving these creatures - Red Fern is one of the best rescues for providing loving homes to these four legged creatures, no dog or cat is left behind.**

**I love Red Fern Animal Rescue! I have adopted three pups from Melissa and her team and have also fostered for Red Fern Animal Rescue about a dozen times. (Two of my pups are fosters we ended up keeping.) Melissa and Gregg have the biggest hearts and for a small team are very mighty! They have saved countless dogs’ and cats’ lives. Red Fern Animal Rescue has made outstanding efforts to really save every dog possible.  Just as they give these wonderful animals a fair chance at a good life, you should also give Red Fern Animal Rescue a fair chance and adopt from them, foster for them, and donate to them.  Red Fern will always be my number-one choice!  Thank you Red Fern Animal Rescue for all that you do!**
