Initially, Ms. V's Fur Babies Pet Boarding (MVFB) was merely an ideal that became a reality. The goal was to help the pets of those in crisis. On April 21, 2022, MVFB became a reality; a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization. We boarded our first pet, Roxy, on May 17, 2023. Our mission is to board the pets of those who are experiencing homelessness and domestic violence, as well as other crises.
MVFB is a much needed organization, within Tarrant County. We can help to alleviate some stress by caring for the family's fur babies, help eliminate the owners from having to surrender their pets, and prevent additional pet entering the already overcrowded animal shelters.
This project is truly a labor of love as the Founder and Executive Director was once homeless with four dogs. She had to board her pets for over a year. It is with great honor and compassion that she is able to help others.
