FRIENDS OF THE SHELTER, INC

Friends of the Shelter is a volunteer organization whose purpose is to oppose cruelty in all forms, encourage humane handling and care of animals, advance spay/neuter programs, promote the animal shelters and strive for responsible adoptions and ownership. Please visit the shelters and encourage your friends and acquaintances to consider adopting one of the many homeless animals. They come in all ages, sizes, types and colors.

We are not a shelter or rescue and cannot help with lost, found, surrender or adoption of animals. Please see our Shelter page for locations in your area.
