Meet Francis!
A Chow Chow Who’s Finally Safe, but Still Needs Us
This is Francis. For years, he lived a life no dog should ever have to endure. When police were called to his former owners’ home for an unrelated issue, they found him neglected, sick, and suffering. Officers gave the owners a choice: surrender Francis or face animal cruelty charges. Thankfully, he was surrendered — and that’s the moment his journey to healing finally began.
Francis is gentle, sweet, and so patient… even after everything he’s been through. But he has a long road ahead.
- He is heartworm positive
- He still needs to be neutered
- He requires ongoing medical care, comfort, and stability
Despite all this, he is already showing us how much love he has to give. For the first time in his life, Francis has a chance to feel safe — to feel cared for — to feel good.
We want to give him the life he always deserved, but we can’t do it alone. His treatments and vet care are costly, and our rescue relies entirely on donations to make transformations like Francis’s possible.
If you are able, please consider donating to Francis’s care. Every single dollar helps bring him one step closer to health, happiness, and a future full of love.
Thank you for helping us show Francis what kindness feels like. He’s waited his whole life for this.
Our Mission
Founded in May 2019, Furry Animals Being Saved Rescue, Inc. is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless and at-risk dogs and cats. We provide compassionate care, medical support and safe placement for every animal we rescue, with the goal of finding them permanent, loving homes.
About Us
Furry Animals Being Saved Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Tolland, CT and Swansea, SC. Founded by a lifelong animal advocate, FABS Rescue was established to continue the mission of saving homeless companion animals. After getting knocked down several times in the rescue community, she decided to create her own rescue so she could continue her mission to save the lives of homeless dogs and cats, particularly after encountering challenges within the rescue community.
FABS is a non-breed specific, fully foster-based rescue with specialized knowledge of the often misunderstood Chow Chow breed. Operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, we rely on the generosity of volunteers and donors to provide medical care, training, and daily support to dogs and cats at risk of euthanasia. Our mission is to save and rehabilitate vulnerable pets — one life at a time — and place them in safe, loving forever homes.
