*Upcoming events are posted on this page.
Friends of Animal Services is a local, all volunteer, nonprofit organization that supports the Antioch Animal Shelter animals in many wonderful ways. This year, we are celebrating 45 years of commitment to our shelter animals! This ongoing dedication includes funding spay/neuter costs, facilitating adoptions into safe and loving homes, celebrating well planned community-awareness events at the Shelter throughout the year, and paying thousands of dollars for special medical assistance for our shelter animals. No matter what the situation or the state of the economy, Friends of Animal Service is 100% committed to these precious animals and their humane care.
