FRIENDS OF GENESEE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER

FRIENDS OF GENESEE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER, INC.

The Friends of Genesee County Animal Shelter, Inc (FGCAS) is a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to improving the adoption/rescue rates at our local Genesee County Animal Control/Shelter so that the euthaniasia rate will be reduced. Other goals include improving conditions for the animals during their time at the Shelter.

FGCAS is made up of caring, animal loving residents of Genesee County. We're regular people, just like you, with kids, jobs, spouses and, of course, pets. We hope to work with the Board of Commissioners, management and staff to help Animal Control become model Shelter that others in the state will turn to for inspiration.

Several in our group also actively volunteer at Animal Control so we know the urgent need for volunteers there. Many times, there is not enough time or volunteers to make sure a very adoptable dog or cat has a chance to be walked, bathed, brushed or even just petted at least once every day. These activities and socialization are a crucial part to helping keep the animals at the Shelter emotionally healthy and ready for adoption.

Getting out for at least one daily walk is especially important to the larger or more active dogs because most are housed in cages no larger than 26 by 52 inches. Walking, bathing and playing with these once loved pets (and letting them know they're not forgotten) can go a long way toward helping them find new homes.

If you love animals and want to make a difference right in your own back yard, please join us!

We are actively seeking new members. Help is needed with picture taking (requires 2 people), fundraising, publicity, shelter volunteering, support, animal transport, web design, newsletter design, secretarial work and more!

"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
