Welcome
FOTAS Aiken was founded in 2009 to support the homeless pets of the Aiken County Animal Shelter with the help of our dedicated volunteers.
We are actively working on these goals:
- Promoting successful adoptions
- Promoting spay/neuter programs
- Transferring our adoptable pets to no-kill shelters
- Finding Foster Homes for our overflow pets
- Coordinating various fundraising events
- Recruiting volunteers from our community
- Making improvements at the shelter for the animals
- Raising awareness to our current statistics
The Aiken County Animal Shelter must accept over 5400 abandoned, neglected, injured, abused, sick or wild dogs and cats every year. Most of these domestic animals have been or could be great pets. Sadly, 6 out of 10 dogs and cats at the shelter are euthanized due to pet overpopulation and insufficient space to house the animals.
We are having an influx of kittens and puppies coming into the shelter. Last week more kittens came in than cats- 20 in one day! We are in desperate need of foster homes for kittens and puppies.
Please contact the shelter at 803-642-1537, email info@fotasaiken.org and click here to download a foster home Application Form. THANK YOU!
