Furst Responders is building a rapid-response nonprofit that picks up, houses, and returns pets when owners face sudden emergencies — arrest, surgery, crisis. We show up the same day so your pet doesn't end up in a shelter.
We're raising funds to get off the ground. Every dollar goes toward our first rescues in Pima County.
This happens every day in Tucson. No one is coming to help these pets — unless we build something that does.
A friend, a social worker, a public defender, a nurse. Anyone can request help on your behalf.
Same-day response in the Tucson area. We come to your home, a police station, a hospital parking lot. Wherever the pet is.
Fed, walked, loved. We handle food, supplies, and basic vet care. You focus on getting through your situation.
When you're ready, we deliver your pet. Days, not months. No judgment, no paperwork mountain.
Every donation goes directly toward building the infrastructure to respond when Tucson pets need us most.
Recurring support keeps our rapid-response running month after month.
Furst Responders is a new nonprofit forming in Tucson, Arizona. We're not yet a registered 501(c)(3) — we're in the early stage of building something that doesn't exist yet: a same-day rapid response for pets whose owners face sudden emergencies.
Your donation right now helps us get off the ground: securing our first foster homes, purchasing pet transport supplies, building partnerships with Pima County social workers and public defenders, and covering basic vet care costs.
This is where the story starts. Be part of it.
Even when their person can't be there. Furst Responders is building a safety net for the pets that fall through every other crack in the system.
