1. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using www.furkids.org (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use and Disclaimer (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
The Site is operated by Furkids, Inc. (“Furkids,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a [501(c)(3)] nonprofit organization headquartered in Cumming, Georgia. These Terms apply to all visitors, adopters, fosters, volunteers, donors, and shoppers who use the Site.
2. Information on This Site
The content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only. We work to keep it accurate and current, but we make no guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, or up to date.
Animal listings. Photos, descriptions, ages, breeds, temperaments, and health information for adoptable animals are based on our staff’s and volunteers’ observations and the information available to us. Animal behavior and health can change, and we cannot guarantee any animal’s history, temperament, or future health. Listing an animal on the Site does not guarantee it is still available.
Not veterinary advice. Pet care, health, and behavior information on the Site is general education, not veterinary advice. Always consult a licensed veterinarian about your animal’s specific needs. Never delay seeking veterinary care because of something you read on the Site.
3. Adoptions, Fostering, and Volunteering
Submitting an adoption, foster, or volunteer application through the Site does not guarantee approval or placement. All applications are reviewed under Furkids’ policies, and we reserve the right to approve or decline any application at our discretion.
Adoptions, foster placements, and volunteer service are governed by separate agreements and waivers you will sign at that time. If those agreements conflict with these Terms, the separate agreement controls.
4. Donations and Purchases
Donations. Donations made through the Site are processed by a third-party payment provider. Furkids is a [501(c)(3)] organization, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law; please consult your tax advisor about your situation. Donations are generally non-refundable. If you believe a donation was made in error, contact Paige Smith, [email protected] within 30 days and we will review your request.
Designated gifts. We honor donor designations whenever possible. If a designated purpose cannot be fulfilled, we may apply the gift where it is most needed.
Purchases. Any merchandise, event tickets, or thrift items sold through the Site are subject to the pricing, availability, and return terms shown at checkout. We may correct pricing errors and limit or cancel orders.
We do not store full payment card information on our servers.

Your submissions. If you send us photos, adoption stories, reviews, or other content, you confirm you have the right to share it. You grant Furkids a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, edit, and publish that content to promote our mission. We may decline or remove any submission.
Our content. The Furkids name, logo, photos, text, and graphics on the Site are owned by or licensed to Furkids. You may share our content for personal, non-commercial purposes, such as sharing an adoptable cat’s page, but may not otherwise copy or use it without our written permission.

Changes. We may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on the Site with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the revised Terms.
