New Shelter Hours
We've missed you!
The main FAAS shelter at 1590 Fortmann Way is now open for walk-up adoptions noon to 4PM on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
You do not need an appointment to meet pets during these hours.
Our satellite adoption location, 2228 South Shore Center (in the outdoor mall), is open Wednesday through Sunday. Please drop in to meet kittens, some of our adult cats, and all of our bunnies and Guinea pigs.
Now hiring!
FAAS is looking for energetic animal lovers who would like to make a real difference in our shelter's operation.
Animal Care Attendants get to know each animal personally as they keep kennels tidy, feed residents, and assist in many other vital tasks.
If you think you might be interested, please send a resume and cover letter to Amanda McNair at amcnair@alamedaanimalshelter.org .
Get Thrift First Dibs
Do you love thrifting, have retail work experience, and enjoy helping others?
FAAS's thrift store is hiring a part-time sales associate. Fringe benefits include getting first crack at The Kitty's fantastic inventory!
Apply to be a Thrifty Kitty Customer Service Associate.
Foster A Pet
