About Us
Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS) provides homes, health, and happiness to Oakland’s animals in need. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2005 by shelter volunteers who saw the need to fund critical services for thousands of animals that enter Oakland’s only open-door shelter every year.
Over 15 years later, FOAS continues its stand on the front lines of caring for animals in our community by supporting, and in partnership with, OAS. Currently, FOAS employs eight staff members who work directly on life-saving programs at OAS, such as foster programs, adoption outreach, and the Human Animal Support Services program. FOAS staff also includes a part-time program/fundraising director, and a community spay/neuter program manager/admin assistant.
FOAS’s annual operating budget is approximately $1M. In addition to staffing, we fund specialized medical care, transfer costs, and support for the volunteer program at OAS. FOAS also provides a free spay/neuter program for all Oakland residents.
