Program areas at Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter

PROGRAM SERVICES: Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter (Friends) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), working tirelessly on behalf of animals since 1996, fundraising, educating, and advocating for animals in need. On November 1, 2012, Friends assumed operations of the City of Palm Springs animal shelter. This partnership with the City to operate the shelter paved the way for a new and humane way of caring for shelter pets in the community. Committed to operating as a humane and compassionate animal care and adoption center, the shelter does not euthanize animals for space or for length of stay. As a public, open admissions shelter, Friends provides a safe haven for all animals, those who are readily adoptable, as well as those who require rehabilitation, training, and minor to severe medical treatment. The Palm Springs Animal Shelter is the only public shelter in the Coachella Valley operating under the no-kill philosophy, which, at times, creates a tremendous strain on operations. But we wouldn't do it any other way. Friends depends on the community to adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, and most of all, to believe that by working together, we can save lives.Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter: takes in lost, stray, abandoned, neglected, abused, and relinquished petsprovides quality medical care and socialization and enrichment to all animals entering the shelter, including neonatal puppies and kittens, and senior and hospice pets, both in the shelter and in loving foster homesworks to find all pets loving forever homes through an affordable, comprehensive yet convenient adoption process, focused on finding the right family for each petreunites lost pets with their guardians provides dog licenses to Palm Springs residentsoperates a weekly public low cost vaccine clinicprovides low cost microchips to the communityprovides low cost/no cost spay neuter services to the entire Coachella Valley through our Fix A Friend programoperates a community Pet Food Bank to help low income, disabled, and/or infirmed Coachella Valley residents feed their beloved petsmanages a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program, helping to humanely reduce the number of free-roaming cats in the Coachella Valley thereby reducing the number of cats entering the Palm Springs Animal Shelter as well as the Riverside County Animal Shelterserves as a resource for humane education in the Coachella Valley and beyond, with learning opportunities for animal advocates and volunteers of all ages
