How We Help

 

Each year, close to 2,000 animals make their way to the Stafford County Animal Shelter. Some are strays, many never reunited with their owners. Others are pets surrendered by their owners or confiscated by the county due to neglect or mistreatment. 

 

With so many animals coming through their doors, the shelter often has to make difficult decisions about the anmals in their care.  Without the funding for medical treatments, many animals are unable to get the care they need.

 

This is where the FOSCAS steps in. We raise awareness — and money — for the Stafford County Animal Shelter to help improve the quality of life for these loving shelter animals.

 

Through the generosity of our donors, we've been able to:

• Provide emergency medical treatment to shelter animals

• Purchase much needed equipment and supplies for the shelter

• Provide microchips to help more pets be re-united with their owners

• Support the foster program by providing food, specialty supplies and other items to help loving families temporarily care for animals in their homes

• Assist with efforts to spay and neuter animals in our community

• Support special adoption events at the shelter

• Provide grooming and medical care to increase the adoptability of special needs shelter animals

 

With your help, we can continue to do wonderful things for these loving animals.

Dr. Gerri S. Reid, Vice President
Dr. Gerri S. Reid is a local Veterinarian who has lived in Stafford county caring for your pets for over 10 years.  Her love and passion for the welfare of all animals has led her to become part of FOSCAS.  Her mission, at this stage in her career, is to give back to her community.  She is a Mother of 3 girls, has 2 dogs and 3 cats that all keep her very busy. One of her cats, Kyle, was adopted by her family 10 years ago from our very own Stafford County Shelter.  Therefore she is delighted and honored to donate her time to the mission of FOSCAS to help all the shelter animals. 

 

Kourtney Bumbrey, Secretary
Kourtney is a native of Fredericksburg and has lived here most of her life.  She has been an Animal Lover since she was a young girl.  She has worked in the animal field as Veterinary Assistant where caring for animals came natural.  She has 2 dogs and many fish to tend to at home but this doesn't stop her from volunteering her time to be part of FOSCAS.  Giving back to the area where she was born and raised couldn't make her any more proud!  Helping the shelter pets just warms her heart!
