Donations, Volunteering, and Funding:
The Friends of the Schuyler County Animal Shelter Inc. receives no direct taxpayer funding. We are funded through the adoption fees we collect, and of course donations from the public. Additionally, we are 100% volunteer, so other than paying for our phone and a few administrative fees, all funds go directly to the care of the dogs we rescue.

Because of our commitment to never deny an animal veterinary care that is appropriate, and to provide such necessary care for the life of the dog, cash donations are particularly appreciated. They can be forwarded to us at:

FOSCAS
PO Box 411
Big Flats, New York 14814

While we re-organize we are not looking for additional volunteer hours but welcome monetary donations as we continue to provide for special needs dogs placed while we managed the shelter or dogs remaining in our foster homes.

Donations of Dog Food
We feed only Canidae or Wellness to our rescue dogs. This is the result of our commitment to treat all dogs in our foster care as if they were our own. High quality foods help keep dogs healthy, minimize allergic reactions, reduce behavior issues and of course minimize waste! Additionally, mixing and changing brands of dog food that can result when various brands are donated can lead to some pretty significant tummy upset! Accordingly we do not generally accept donations of dog food other than these brands.

Volunteering as a Foster Family
There is a very special form of volunteering called fostering. Fostering means taking an animal into your home temporarily while we look for his or her forever home. All foster homes are screened similar to adopting families. Fostering can be a very emotional and rewarding experience and certainly takes a very special person. All costs related to fostering are picked up by FOSCAS. If you would like to foster, please contact us at 607-562-8085.
