Formed in 2009 this volunteer non-profit has taken the open admission Aiken County Animal Shelter from a 10% save rate to a 70% save rate in 2017. Our mission is to never have to euthanize an adoptable pet. From 2013 - 2016, the Aiken County Animal shelter supplemented by FOTAS (Friends of the Animal Shelter) were able to find homes for 9574 dogs and cats it received. And during this same time, FOTAS organized and paid for the spay/neuter surgeries of 2116 citizen-owned and community cats. We have also established robust volunteer and foster programs. visit our web site at www.FOTASAiken.org
