Our Mission

The Friends of Orange County Animal Shelter is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization

The all- volunteer group cooperates with the county animal shelter to care for shelter pets and place them in loving, caring, adoptive homes. This group was founded in 2019.

Our mission statement is:

We enhance the lives of shelter animals and help them find homes.  Our sole purpose is to raise direct support for the Shelter and its important mission of saving lives.

Our goals are:

  • Helping the animals be happy and healthy in the shelter. We interact with the animals by walking the dogs and playing with the cats, which helps them release stress and pent-up energy, as well as improving their overall health and adoptability.
  • Helping the animals move from the shelter into forever homes, foster homes, and no-kill animal rescues. We promote the animals in a variety of ways, including helping post information to adoption websites, such as Petfinder, and acting as a liaison for the shelter with foster homes and no-kill rescues

Any donation made helps the homeless pets of the Orange County Animal Shelter and is tax-deductible to the extent the IRS allows.
