FOPAS Wish List

With the exception of part-time morning help M-F, FOPAS is operated solely by volunteers and we are so grateful for community friends and neighbors! Any items are appreciated and if for some reason they cannot be used by FOPAS, we share with other rescue groups. Nothing goes to waste. Here are ideas for those wishing to support the cats and dogs in our care:

Items that are always, always, always appreciated to keep the shelter going:

• Regular, dependable weekly volunteers to help clean cages and kennels, exercise and groom animals, participate in adoptions and fundraisers (16 and younger require parent/guardian);

• Foster Families!! FOPAS covers the food/medical bills but we do ask that foster families transport the animal to Saturday adoptions;
