Our mission is to support, develop, enrich, and publicize the benefits of Palo Alto Animal Services. The Friends group intends to aid the shelter in accomplishing its objectives: offering animals for adoption, providing low cost spay/neuter surgery and vaccination services, rescuing animals at risk of injury or neglect, and operating animal control services to protect public safety. Further, our mission includes fundraising for a capital improvement plan to build a new, state-of-the-art shelter where the old shelter has stood since 1972.
