Caring for Over 37,000 Animals in Need Since 1993
Since 1993, the Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter (FFDAS) have been caregivers and advocates for rescues of all shapes and sizes. Although we operate the Dearborn Animal Shelter under contract to the City of Dearborn, we depend upon donations for over 80% of our annual operating income.
Your donations also support numerous education and community-service programs, such as low-cost spay/neuter and microchip clinics, that directly affect thousands of animals in Southeast Michigan. Our rescues in need paws-itively appreciate your support.
FFDAS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your generous donations are 100% tax deductible.
Heartfelt Thanks to Our 2010 Supporters
