FRIENDS OF GENESEE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER

About FGCAS

FGCAS is a group of volunteers made up of caring residents of Genesee County who are working toward increasing the adoption rate at the shelter and want to stop unnecessary euthanasia. If you love animals and want to make a difference, please join us! 

UPDATE JULY 5th, 2008 Link to: Flint Journal News Article: Genesee County commissioners consider using a non-profit group to handle adoption process at Animal Control

The Genesee County Commissioners will be hearing recommendations from the Sub Committee concerning the fate of Animal Control and a new Director soon. In the past, the Director's position has been a "political" appointment: Someone  appointed by the Board on the recommendation of the UAW with little, if any, animal welfare or management experience and little interest in change. FGCAS needs your help to assure that won't happen this time.

Please contact your county commissioner ASAP to show your support for a new Director who has the mindset to "Stop the Killing" and to show support for allowing the shelter to work with ALL qualified, reputable rescues like many other Michigan Animal Control Departments throughout the state.  We need your voice to help keep things moving forward.

Flint Journal May 1st Editorial and Comments

"Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight".  ~Albert Schweitzer ~   

 

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

"I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it." ~ Abraham Lincoln ~

The basis of all animal rights should be the Golden Rule:  we should treat them as we would wish them to treat us, were any other species in our dominant position.  ~Christine Stevens ~

"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them, you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear. What one fears, one destroys"  ~Chief Dan George~

"I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. I have done something," He replied. "I created you." ~Jim Willis
