Welcome to Friends of Shelter Animals (FSA)

The Friends of Shelter Animals mission is to provide items of necessity and comfort for animals in shelters, no matter what their outcome. Municipal and county animal shelters work within limited budgets and are often unable to provide anything beyond basic care. That’s where we come in. For more information, please contact us.

Your contribution to will directly benefit shelter animals.

Friends of Shelter Animals is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all donations are fully tax-deductible.

We’re so grateful for the much-needed items FSA has given us. We’ve seen positive changes in our animals, which is so helpful in re-homing them. Not only have they benefited from FSA’s support, but our staff has, too.

We often have large numbers of senior dogs at the shelter. The blankets from FSA really make a huge difference in their comfort levels. And the pill pockets are ideal for delivering their medication in a safe and easy manner.
