Our Goals:
Our goal is to end the euthanasia of adoptable cats and dogs by promoting and supporting programs that have a positive effect on companion animals. We:
- Increase animal adoption and rehoming of homeless and domesticated pets by promoting pet health and animal welfare services that encourage responsible pet care and guardianship for our youth, adults, and families.
- Engage the community through use of technology and social media platforms to increase involvement and support on improving and protecting the lives of animals.
- Champion humane education and cruelty prevention of both domestic and wild animals through community outreach.
- Foster business and local partnerships that provide financial support and veterinary care to aid the medical needs of sick and injured animals and fundraising for other unmet needs of the Friends of the Shelter Program.
