Our story
Featured programs
FOAS-funded Shelter staff
We fund life-saving positions at the shelter that are critical to placing animals in loving homes and reducing euthanasia. These staff include foster coordinators for the dog, cat, and small animal programs.
Medical needs
We fund the medical needs of at risk animals entering Oakland Animal Services who might otherwise be euthanized. These include animals who may have terminal conditions but can still live a quality life in “fospice” (foster + hospice).
Funding for life-saving programs
We provide funding and assist the shelter with transfers of animals to rescue partners, fund tools to help with field services, as well as fund materials, training, and other supplies for the volunteer program.
