Friends of Coos County Animals

Foster care and adoption program. Our organization is a foster home-based group. All animals are in private homes until they have been behaviorally assessed and medically cleared. Expenses include veterinary fees, medicines, and supplies. Our foster homes spend untold hours with their fosters until the are medically sound for adoption.

Spay/Neuter Voucher Program. Vouchers for spay/neuter of cats and dogs at the local, low-cost spay/neuter clinic are made available to members of the community upon request. Feral cat spay/neuters are paid for by our organization.

Community Assistance. Reimbursement for emergency care costs for injured dogs or cats requested from veterinarians on a case-by-case basis. Veterinary cost reimbursements for low income and senior citizens to keep their pets in good health. A manager is hired on contract to provide additional assistance to operate the overall program.

Assistance to Coos County Animal Shelter. We provide items for which the County has no budget. These items include canine and feline vaccines and medications. We also underwrite a food program through Hills Science Diet, to ensure the shelter animals have a consistent, high-quality diet while awaiting adoption.
