Hall County Animal Shelter
F.A.S.T. Friends is currently raising donations to purchase Kuranda beds for all dog kennels in the Adoption rooms and Incoming rooms.
We will also continue our on-going mission by raising funds to sponsor urgent dogs and cats for rescue, as well as senior dogs. Your donations help save animals by allowing us to sponsor them for rescues. Often, large dogs, heartworm positive dogs and seniors are overlooked, but when sponsored, rescues will consider pulling them. We currently sponsor all heartworm treatments on heartworm positive dogs adopted or rescued from the shelter.
100% of all donations go towards sponsorship. (no administrative fees)
Scroll all the way to the bottom for our DONATION links and information. All donations are tax-deductible!!
