Organizations Filed Purposes:
To provide rescue programs and services to animals and those who care for them.
Rescue/Foster/Adopt Program United Animal Friends does not have a shelter facility. Most animals live in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted. In situations where an adoptable dog is at risk of being euthanized in an overcrowded shelter when no foster home is available, we may place them in temporary boarding until a foster home becomes available. United Animal Friends finds homes for approximately 400 cats and dogs each year.
Community Spay/Neuter Program, UAF provides no-cost spay/neuter certificates so that colony caretakers can trap feral cats and take them to local vets for alteration and ear-tipping, which identifies the cat as having been altered. UAF relies on these caretakers to return the cats to their colonies and to continue providing food, water and shelter, as well as monitoring the colony for any new cats that need to be fixed. Please note that UAF does not remove cats. Research confirms that trap/neuter/return/manage (TNRM) is the most humane, life-affirming and effective solution to feral cat colonies. Without our help, these cat colonies would grow exponentially and the quality of life for the cats would be greatly diminished. During 2019, there were 788 cats which recieved this service. See Sch O for additional achievement explanation.
Emergency Medical Program - The Emergency Medical Program helps community pets who have an urgent need for medical care when their owners are unable to afford the full cost of treatment. Since its inception in 2011, UAF has worked steadily to increase funding for this program. In 2019, UAF was able to provide emergency medical assistance to 289 community pets.
