The Foundation for TJO Animals is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to the health and welfare of the animals at the TJO Animal Control and Adoption Center. When animals need a little extra TLC, we pay for medical treatments and rehabilitation that would otherwise not be available. Sick and injured animals are given the best care that we can provide.

The Foundation for TJO Animals is supported by many donations, large and small, from schools, civic groups, individuals, and businesses throughout the Pioneer Valley, as well as grants from national foundations. But most of our funding comes from generous individuals who want a better life for our community's most needy animals.

OUR MISSION: The Foundation for TJO Animals is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving local, homeless animals in Western Massachusetts. We are dedicated to helping animals in shelter at the Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center receive the veterinary care they need to bring them to the adoption floor, and from there to their forever homes. The Foundation supports and enhances the medical services and programs of the Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center through fundraising, special events, and donor appeals.
