Ways you can help
FOACAS needs volunteers to foster dogs and cats, organize food drives, conduct meet and greets, transport animals, provide social media help and administrative assistance, and help with fund raising.
Learn how you can help
Your donation goes toward medical care, training and boarding. Our mission is to keep animals out of shelters. We do whatever it takes to bring the pet to an adoptable level. Our ultimate goal is for the pet to be healthy and happy. FOACAS is an all volunteer 501c3 non-profit organization. Almost every dollar goes directly toward helping the animals. Since FOACAS is an all volunteer organization, we need volunteers for transportation, fostering, adopter visits and meet and greets. See if you can be part of this organization.
Transportation
Most of our shelter animals need to be transported 2 hours from the shelters to the Montgomery County, Maryland area. We also need local transport within in the suburban DC area for vet visits.
Fostering
Fostering is a great way to get a pet out of the misery of a shelter and into a family environment. FOACAS pays for all medical costs and supplies.
Home visit
With home visits we ensure a
pet is placed in a safe,
wholesome environment. Our
volunteers visit the foster and adopting family.
• most visits are on Zoom or Facetime.Meet and greets
Our volunteers review potential adopter applications, then meet the family with the pet to ensure a good fit. No experience necessary; we ensure you are trained.
