Welcome to the Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter.

The Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to caring for Alameda’s homeless pets and finding them new homes. We provide the animals in our shelter with the best care possible until they are adopted.

FAAS is the only nonprofit that dedicates 100% of funding to caring for Alameda’s animals. Financial support is always needed to ensure our work on their behalf continues.
Here are some of the animals currently waiting for new homes

Thank you to all who participated in our 2nd Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk event!
We had a great day! There were approximately 100 people and dogs there, and we raised a little over $15,000!!
