Friends of Strays: Saving 25,000 Homeless Animals Annually

The Plight of Homeless Animals

In the United States alone, an estimated 6.5 million cats and dogs enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Sadly, only about half of these animals find their forever homes, while the rest are euthanized due to lack of space or resources.

The Mission of Friends of Strays

Friends of Strays Animal Shelter is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe haven for homeless and abandoned animals in our community. Since our founding in 1995, we have rescued and cared for over 250,000 animals, finding loving homes for the vast majority of them.

Our Services

Friends of Strays offers a wide range of services to help homeless animals, including:

• Animal Rescue: We rescue animals from the streets, owner surrenders, and other situations where they are in danger.
• Medical Care: We provide veterinary care to all of our animals, including vaccinations, spaying and neutering, and emergency treatment.
