WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!

Help from our supporters is greatly needed. Every day well-meaning folks bring animals to our Adoption Center or leave them in a box at our door. Unfortunately, our shelter can house only so many. We get to the point that we have to turn stray pets away. When these turn-always end up at city pounds, more than likely their days are numbered. Help from our supporters is greatly needed.

Serving as a foster family for a litter of kittens or puppies could save their lives. Watching the little ones grow and play makes it entirely worthwhile. If you prefer an adult pet, shelter homes are also needed for dogs and cats.

Friends of Strays provides any necessary training. We also supply the cages, formula, pet food, etc. All foster families need to provide is temporary love and care. Some shelter home stipulations are required, so please feel free to talk with someone at our Shelter (727-522-6566) for specifics. Providing a shelter home gives families a chance to have the enjoyment and companionship of loving, adorable pets without a long-term commitment.

Individuals interested in helping to alleviate our overcrowded shelter may complete our online application right on this Web Site. Please see our "volunteering" page or call our shelter.

Who We Are...
Friends of Strays is a non-profit, volunteer organization founded in September 1978 and is dedicated to the care and adoption of homeless pets. The organization is funded by individual contributions, wills, bequests, memberships, and proceeds from our Thrift Shop. Friends of Strays provides services to the most needy section of our pet population, the homeless animals of Pinellas County. These services include the daily care, sterilization and temporary shelter until adoption of the pet can be arranged. We are also active in programs that educate the public about humane treatment and care of animals. The primary goal of Friends of Strays is to stop the reproduction of homeless cats and dogs that are abandoned and left to roam, unable to care for themselves. Friends of Strays is dedicated to caring for those who cannot speak for themselves, our voiceless friends, the animals. Friends of Strays is a No-Kill Shelter.
