Just like everyone else, our staff and FOTAS volunteers look forward to Saturdays. It’s usually our biggest adoption day — families visit, meet the dogs and cats, and find their new best friend.
The staff is ready. Our volunteers have worked all morning to make sure all the dogs are walked and clean. It’s game day.
But this past Saturday was different. We didn’t have a single adoption.
It’s been a long time since that has happened — and it’s heartbreaking.
In just the first two weeks of April, the shelter took in 256 dogs and cats. That’s a lot of pets needing homes. When no one comes on our busiest day, it hurts.
We have amazing animals waiting — house-trained dogs, loving cats, playful puppies. They’re ready. They just need someone to choose them.
We need our community.
Please share our posts, volunteer, donate to support our lifesaving programs — and most importantly, if you can, adopt.
Their lives are in our hands.
