2020 Year End Report and 2021/2022 Goals

Dear FOA Supporter,

2020 was a year of challenge for all.  Our shelter was fortunate in many ways.  We were able to keep the shelter open by appointment to help animals in need and adopt animals to people.  We are thankful for all your support as we had to make multiple changes to how we did business and fundraising to keep everyone safe.

Together in 2020 we accomplished:

A total number of animals cared for at FOA 166; 57 dogs and 109 cats.  

  • At the beginning of the pandemic FOA adopted all our dogs to good families and had a handful of cats and kittens.

  • We successfully qualified for Covid-19 Economic Relief Loan with the loan being forgiven.

  • Qualified for Facebook as a non-profit with NO fees being taken from our donations made through our donation button.

  • Qualified for PayPal lower fee rates as a nonprofit.

In 2021 and 2022 , FOA will continue to provide care for homeless dogs and cats.  So far, we have seen a trend of injured and sick animals coming into the shelter and our funds remain critical to keep them get healthy and keep the others healthy.   The cost of monthly animal care, veterinary care, insurance, utility bills, maintenance, rent, internet/domain, phone, misc. supplies etc. to mention a few are concerns for FOA.  Please continue to think of FOA and donate for our animals.  Without you FOA wouldn’t exist.

Wishing you a happy successful year,
