The Friends of the Westerly Animal Shelter (FOWAS) was formed by a group of shelter volunteers to provide financial support for the health, well being and successful adoption of the shelter animals, as well as to assist in the development of youth volunteers who are interested in careers in animal welfare. The intent was to create a vehicle within which funds could be raised to supplement the existing funds provided by the city of Westerly RI that could be used to augment medical care, training and socialization of the shelter animals which is critical for successful adoptions, and to provide scholarships to high school seniors wishing to further their education in the animal welfare field.  Friends of the Westerly Animal Shelter Website
