forever homes
Adoptive final destinations
A forever home is a permanent, loving household for an adopted pet, as opposed to a temporary shelter or foster situation.
Animal rescue organizations popularized the term to emphasize that adoption means a lifelong commitment.
After three months at the shelter, the old beagle finally found his forever home.
The phrase has expanded to describe any permanent residence, especially one purchased rather than rented: We're done apartment-hunting—this is our forever home.
