FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the Fur-Angel Foundation?
FAF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dog rescue in the state of Hawaii.
Where are you located?
We do not currently have a facility. We work entirely through our foster network, with foster families located throughout the island of Oahu.
What do your adoptions include?
All of our adoptions include spay/neuter, microchip, testing, deworm, initial vaccines, and an initial wellness exam.
Do you take in cats?
No, not at this time.
How much is your adoption fee?
Our adoption fee is $300 and includes spay/neuter, microchip, initial vaccination, deworming or parasitic and heartworm (6 months and over) testing, and preventative medications. We do not discriminate on medical history and have helped dogs needing amputations, surgeries, parvovirus, heartworm positive dogs, etc. This fee only offsets the costs we incur to get our dogs medically up to date before adoption.
What types of dogs do you have available?
We are constantly changing our available dogs, so please refer to the adopt page to see who we have at this time.
How do I become a foster?
Please visit the foster page and fill out an application. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
What is the adoption process?
Our adoption process is fairly simple. We do an initial phone consultation to learn more about what you are looking for in a pet. Then, we do a virtual in-home check to make sure you have a safe environment and to answer any further questions you may have. Next, we set up a time to meet the pup. If you are comfortable and it seems a good fit, we can transfer the pup into a trial period. During the trial you get a chance to experience the pup in your home. Trials last anywhere from a couple of days up to a week. If it's a good fit then we proceed with the paperwork. These steps are subject to change depending on each individual situation, but are generally how the adoption process goes. Our goal through this process is to find the right match for both pups and people, which might require additional meetings at the discretion of the adoption coordinator.
When is your next event?
Please check our events page and social media pages for more information.
How do I surrender my dog to FAF?
*Intakes are currently on hold* Due to the high volume of inquiries, FAF cannot guarantee if or when we will have space for your pet. Callbacks are not guaranteed and based solely on availability, as we are working hard to find foster homes for all inquiries.
FAF will contact you as soon as space becomes available. Please feel free to submit your request here. If you have not heard from us in a few days you can contact us to follow up. All submissions are automatically placed on our waitlist.
I found a stray dog. What do I do?
Take the dog to any veterinary hospital or shelter to scan for a microchip.
If the dog is NOT identified, file a report immediately with the Hawaiian Humane Society.
How can I get involved with FAF?
We are always looking for fosters and volunteers. Please see the foster page or contact us for volunteer opportunities.
