Supporting Friends for Animals is important for us to continue our work.

Sadly, this year has been worse than most. With some pet owners having to make tough decisions, pet food sales and veterinary visits have decreased in the last few months. The cruel truth is that more pets are being dumped, abandoned and turned out onto the street while others are suffering hunger, neglect and abuse.

Your support helps Friends For Animals rescue these pets in their time of crisis, even during the coldest months of the year. Your gift of $25 or more can mean the difference between life and death for pets with nowhere else to turn.

Please help us with as generous a gift as you can afford. Even a small amount can go a long way for a pet in need.

Membership Options
I want to become a member.
If you can't adopt one, foster one.

If you can't foster one, sponsor one.

If you can't sponsor one, feed one.

If you can't feed one, send this message to someone who can...or will.

If each one of us would do just one little thing...one little thing...we could become an animal welfare army.

Animals are suffering...won't you help us save them? Twenty-five homeless pets per day are being killed at the pound every single day right here in Burke County, NC.



Won't you help us save just one? Please?
