Our Furbay Story
As president of Furbay.org, I will write stories about how our non-profit animal charity can raise money for other animal charities!
The stories will show how Furbay does this through benefits and memberships, unique events like sweepstakes, raffles, and auctions, and obtaining donors and sponsors to raise money to share with our members for free.
I was a young man when President John F. Kennedy and, later, his brother Robert F. Kennedy were tragically assassinated. In their eulogies, a statement about their character resonated deeply with me:
"They saw things that were and asked, 'Why?' They saw things that never were and asked, 'Why not?'"
That simple yet profound idea has stayed with me throughout my life, shaping how I approach problems—not just as obstacles but as opportunities to find solutions or, at the very least, to improve things. If I had fully realized earlier how extraordinary people can create meaningful change, perhaps I would have founded Furbay.org years ago. Who knows?
What I do know is that remarkable individuals love animals and dedicate their time, energy, and resources to supporting animal shelters in their communities. When I say animal shelters, I mean all animal organizations—rescues, fosters, advocates, transporters, sanctuaries, and more. These people are everywhere, working tirelessly yet often unnoticed. Thank God for creating such compassionate souls to care for His animals.
As a latecomer to what I now see as my calling—and, hopefully, my legacy—I discovered this world after retirement. The first thing I learned by joining several animal charities was that I was surrounded by people who would go to extraordinary lengths to help animals. Wow! How had I not known this before? These everyday heroes walk among us, blending seamlessly into our communities, without angel wings to distinguish them.
The second thing I learned was how good it felt to be around them. Watching them rescue and save animal lives daily filled me with a sense of purpose I hadn’t felt since my time in the Army. There, too, I experienced an unshakable bond with my brothers and sisters—a camaraderie that stays with you forever.
Standing among these incredible animal advocates, I realized I had found my mission. I invite you to join us in this shared mission and be part of a community that makes a real difference.
Unfortunately, I also learned something else—the immense burden these angels of mercy carry. They dedicate their time and hearts to saving animals and constantly worry about how to keep their doors open. The expenses for vet bills, food, fostering, and medical care never stop.
Many give more than they can afford, spending money they don’t have just to save one more life. They hold car washes, spaghetti dinners, auctions—anything to scrape together enough funds. Sometimes, these efforts help a little. But bandaids don’t heal open wounds.
And so, Fur Heaven’s Sake and Furbay were born. I knew there had to be a better way—a more sustainable way—to raise money and keep these life-saving organizations afloat.
That’s why Furbay was designed to be free for all legitimate animal charities, rescues, advocacy groups, and organizations. We aim to lift the financial burden from your shoulders, allowing you to focus on what you do best: saving lives.
The more members we have at Furbay, the more our ability to attract sponsors and donors strengthens. And the best part? We share those resources directly with our members and the other innovative fundraising programs Furbay offers.
To start, Furbay will share the stories of those who need help with their animal charities. Whether you're rescuing, rehabilitating, or caring for animals in need, we’ll help you raise donations for your cause or specific animals in need.
By becoming a free member, our partnership begins at zero cost to you. Join us and discover how we can “Help You Help Them!”
"You can't change tomorrow unless you make changes today."
Find out how easy Furbay makes it for you. Did I mention it's completely FREE? We've designed our platform to be user-friendly and accessible so you can focus on your work without the added stress of fundraising.
