Shelter Friends was formed in March 1999 to focus on adoptions at the city shelter and help lower the number of animals coming in to the shelter. Shelter Friends has been emphasizing the importance of spaying/neutering pets and hopes to expand to a full blown educational program on this subject and also responsible pet ownership. You can volunteer with Shelter Friends in lots of ways: *Help people at the shelter find the right animal *Volunteer at events and PetsMart *Foster animals in your home until they are old enough for adoption
