Donate Today and Be a Lifeline for Animals in Our Community
For over 30 years, Friends of the Animals was known for supporting the Jackson County Animal Shelter. But the needs of our community—and its pets—have grown. So we did, too.
We’ve dropped “Shelter” from our name, because our work now reaches far beyond shelter walls. Today, with the help of over 500 compassionate volunteers, we run five critical programs that keep pets healthy, safe, and in loving homes.
What Your Gift Supports:
🐾 Spay & Neuter Clinic – Prevents unplanned litters and reduces shelter overcrowding.
🐾 Foster Program – Provides safe, loving homes and medical care for pets in crisis waiting for the forever homes we find them.
🐾 Low-Cost Vaccines & Microchips – Keeps our whole community of pets healthy and out of the shelter.
🐾 Shelter Enrichment – Our volunteers train, walk, and heal shelter dogs so they’re ready for adoption.
🐾 Adoption Events – Matches our rescued foster pets with forever families.
You Make This Possible
Every dollar you give directly supports these life-saving programs. You're not just donating—you're becoming a friend to animals who have no one else.
From the puppy that finds safety in foster care…
To the senior dog who finally gets adopted after months in the shelter…
To the kitten whose simple vaccine means it stays healthy and at home…
Your donation creates real change.
💛 Give now. Because every animal deserves a chance—and every act of kindness matters.
