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.
FOTAS Aiken is a nonprofit organization classified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) charity. All donations to FOTAS Aiken are fully tax-deductible. Our efforts solely support the Aiken County Animal Shelter.
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 5000 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, 8 out of 10 dogs and cats at the shelter are euthanized due to pet overpopulation and insufficient space to house the animals.
Here's the Scoop!
New Ways To Stay Connected:
FOTAS volunteers are always integrating new ways to keep the community informed. Not only are we a staple in the facebook network, we now have a new blog! And a little birdie came by and said Tweet Tweet! Find us on Twitter too @FotasAiken!
Volunteers Needed:
We need folks to come to the shelter and volunteer during the hours of 9 am until Noon & 1-4:30 Monday through Friday and 10-1 on Saturday to walk & play with our dogs and give our cats attention in the Cat House
