The Front Street Animal Shelter takes in over
10,000 animals each year, many of them homeless, sick, and injured. Our
shelter, like countless others, had to suspend many of our services during
COVID-19, including adoptions and volunteering, which put our shelter at risk
of overcrowding. Thanks to our supportive community, we've sent hundreds of
animals into foster care to keep them out of the shelter, and nearly half of
those foster families end up keeping their pets. Now that appointment-only
adoptions have resumed, the rest are quickly finding homes.

Happy Tails has continued to rescue cats /dogs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We adjusted our procedures to ensure compliance with the local heath order and have been successful in proceeding safely. Although our facility is closed to the public, we have critical staff present around the clock to care for all cats in our facility. All dogs continue to be cared for in volunteer foster homes just as before COVID-19. So far in 2020 we have taken in and adopted our 48 dogs.

COVID struck in middle of kitten season and luckily community members stepped and assisted by fostering. Which made it possible to save and additional 179 kittens and 87 cats since January. To date Happy Tails has adopted 141 kittens and 129 cats, we could not do it without community support and donations.
