Get Involved

There are plenty of ways for you to support the lifesaving work of Friends of Strays!

  • Adopt! Take home a homeless pet and give them a second chance! Adopters are invited to our shelter to work with one of our Adoption Counselors to find the best match. While you may have your mind set on one of the animals in our database, we encourage all adopters to keep an open mind when they visit the shelter. Many people find that an animal picks them! View all of our available animals here.
  • Foster! There is no more personal way to help animals than by becoming a foster parent. Opening your home to a cat or dog from Friends of Strays means you have the opportunity to increase the quality of life for a homeless pet and open much-needed cage space so that we can rescue another animal. Become a cat or dog foster superhero here.
  • Support! When you give to us, you become a partner in saving lives, reducing suffering, and creating a more compassionate world for animals and for the people who love them. Donate today create a better world for pets and people.
    • Support means more than just monetary donations. There are other ways you can support us, too!
      • Check out our online wishlists and help us with supples.
      • Keep up with us on Facebook and Instagram and share posts about our adoptable pets to your own social networks. Advocate for pets in need to your friends and family. Share our mission.
      • Check out our upcoming events and attend!
      • Come in and check out our merch corner, or buy from our online shop, and show off your support wherever you go!
  • Volunteer! Volunteers are the heart of Friends of Strays! Without their time, talents, and resources we would not be able to save the lives of thousands of animals each year. Whether you have a free day on the weekend or an occasional hour after work, there is a place for you here. Join us today to help change an animal’s life forever.

we can’t wait to see the impact you have on our community’s animals in need and the change we create with you by our side!
