OUR MISSION STATEMENT

To provide financial assistance for veterinary services for companion animals with emphasis on spay, neuter, vaccines and emergency/lifesaving procedures when the people that love them are really struggling. We mobilize the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors so that we are a part of the solution to the homeless/stray pet population, reducing shelter admissions and deaths, and keeping pets in homes, throughout the CSRA.

OUR GOALS

Thats What Friends Are For, Inc. is an all volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to fundraising and networking, and promoting camaraderie among animal rescue groups and individuals involved in improving animal welfare, to help find homes for the homeless and keep pets in their loving homes. By networking, we are able to reunite lost pets with their families as well as helping people find new pets to adopt into their homes.

We hold fundraising events throughout the year and hope you will enjoy participating in them with us. Generosity comes in many ways, and has included donations of cars, a commercial grill, a mobile home and so many wonderful items, all sold to benefit our lifesaving programs. May businesses and individuals support our work by making donations or by sponsoring our events. The Community Foundation for the CSRA trusts our stewardship of donated dollars enough that they have honored with grants to increase our programs. We encourage estate planning to leave a legacy of love for our programs as well as formulating a plan for pets left behind. Memorials donations and celebratory donations are greatly appreciated as well. Contact us if you want to discuss any of these options.

So, I say to you, JOIN US! Our animal loving community is filled with good , kind hearted people. Be kind to animals and people, and teach children compassion for all beings. Know that "You have not lived until you have given something to someone that can never repay you", John Bunyan. Unconditional love and gratitude are heartwarming gifts that animals give freely when shown the least bit of love and kindness.
