Friends of the Fairmont Animal Shelter (FOFAS) is a non-profit animal rescue organization composed exclusively of volunteers, with an office on the grounds of the Alameda County Fairmont Animal Shelter in San Leandro, Ca (located in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area). Founded in 1986 FOFAS works with the Fairmont Shelter to try to get as many animals out and into safe havens as possible and strives to make their lives as comfortable as possible while they are in the shelter. FOFAS is run by a Board of Directors elected annually as well as Dog/Cat Foster Coordinators, and an Office Coordinator. Volunteer staff help to socialize, walk, feed, and comfort the animals while they are staying at the shelter. Veterinary care and transport is provided by volunteers on an as needed basis. Our only source of income is public donations and funds raised through events (yard sales, bake sales, specific events, and annual membership dues). FOFAS money is spent on animals in and from the shelter as well as improvements for the shelter itself. FOFAS also offers several forms of spay neuter assistance to residents within our jurisdiction. The Fairmont Animal Shelter jurisdiction consists of Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, and the unincorporated areas of San Leandro and Hayward.
Mission Statement:
Friends of the Fairmont Animal Shelter (FOFAS) believes in each animal's right to a quality life. As their advocates, the FOFAS mission is to provide continued care and compassion for animals in and from the Fairmont Animal Shelter until they can be placed into a loving home. We strive to increase public awareness, and to prevent overpopulation and needless suffering.
