Join us for the Riverside Hotel’s 2nd annual Friends Furever Animal Rescue fundraiser to help provide essential support, including food, shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation to animals in need.
Friends Furever Animal Rescue (FFAR) is a passionate, all-volunteer, nonprofit animal rescue organization serving Southern Idaho. Their mission is to combat pet overpopulation, abuse, and neglect in our community by providing essential support, including food, shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation for animals in need. They are dedicated to finding loving homes for these animals and creating better lives for those without a home.
FFAR originated in the Magic Valley, but because of the growing need, has expanded its reach to the Treasure Valley. The organization is led by a small, dedicated core team and supported by dozens of volunteers who foster, transport, dog-walk, and assist with vaccines and microchipping.
FFAR cares for between 50 and 100 dogs at any given time and receives no government funding. They are incredibly grateful for your support, which helps keep this nonprofit running and ensures their rescues remain healthy, safe, and happy.

Stop by the hotel for free live music and to learn more about Friends Furever Animal Rescue. We'll be collecting new or gently used dog supplies—toys, leashes, beds, blankets, food, treats, and more—from 1–8 PM at Sandbar. As a thank-you, every dog supply donation will receive a coupon for a FREE pint of Boise Light from Boise Brewing (21+, 1-8pm while supplies last).

Come enjoy an afternoon of live music while making a difference for local animals!
September 26th FFAR Fundraising Concert with Allegedly
Join us for a fundraising concert in the Sapphire Room featuring Allegedly at 7pm. Tickets are only $20, and 100% of ticket proceeds will go to Friends Furever Animal Rescue. Doors open at 6pm, and dinner and drinks will be available for purchase. Bring a new or gently used dog supply donation to the show and enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne (21+).
Whether you donate supplies, attend a show, or both, you'll be helping local animals find the care and forever homes they deserve. We hope you'll join us!
