Transforming Lives: The Inspiring Story of a Thrift Store Animal Rescue

In Muskogee, Oklahoma, a distinctive animal rescue operation named Fur Babies is addressing the major issue of stray animals exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization creatively combines a thrift store model with an animal clinic, using proceeds from the store to subsidize significant costs associated with pet surgeries such as spaying and neutering. This innovative funding approach allows Fur Babies to offer services at reduced prices, making essential pet care accessible to more residents. In addition, Fur Babies is linked with a network of sister rescues across the Midwest, aiding their mission in rehoming animals and expanding their impact beyond local boundaries.
