Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to caring for lost and abandoned companion animals in Alameda, California.

Their mission is to reunite lost pets with their owners, find new homes for homeless animals, and prevent animal cruelty through education and community programs.

Key Services and Programs:

• Adoption Services: FAAS operates two locations—the Main Shelter and the South Shore Center—where they house dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs available for adoption. They also offer a "2-for-1 kittens" special to encourage the adoption of multiple kittens.
• Foster Program: For those unable to adopt, FAAS provides a foster program that allows individuals to care for shelter pets in their homes until they are ready for adoption.
• Pet Food Pantry: FAAS operates a Pet Food Pantry to assist Alameda residents in need, offering free pet food supplies twice a month.
• Educational Programs: FAAS offers community programs aimed at preventing animal cruelty and promoting responsible pet ownership.
