From Friends of the Shelter Dogs Inc.
Friends of the Shelter Dogs provides assistance to the dogs in the Athens County Dog Shelter by providing veterinary support for sick and injured dogs, spaying and neutering, rescue operations and the promotion of the dogs in the shelter. All this is done in order to save the lives of adoptable dogs. Our mission is to prevent the euthanization of adoptable dogs at the county operated dog shelter by rescue and/or adoption.
