Dog walkers play a key role in the socialization, exercise, training, and overall health of the dogs in our care. We want to make each dog's stay at the Jackson County Animal Shelter as pleasant as possible. Exercised dogs relax and behave better when people come to look at them. Dog Handlers also help the dogs get adopted by training them to behave better so potential adopters see them in their best light. These dogs also present fewer problems to their new families and are less likely to be returned.

Mission Statement
Friends of the Animals is a 501(c)3 organization that improves the quality of life for animals in Southern Oregon by facilitating adoptions, medical care, education, and resources to our community.
Description
Since 1991 when, Friends of the Animals (FOTAS) was established we have been providing volunteers to help Jackson County Animal Shelter animals get adopted faster, while improving the quality of life while they wait. Now, we are also focused on reducing the number of animals entering shelters at all.
Of course, FOTAS will continue to support Shelter animals, but we know the community needs much more. Our strategic focus is to expand spay and neuter options to decrease "accidental litters," provide nurturing "homes-between-homes" before adoption, contribute toward pet safety, and create strong partnerships with other rescue organizations. All to help more animals and owners in the Rogue Valley.
