Faithful Friends Animal Society is a nonprofit animal welfare organization & no-kill shelter We hope you will join this effort! Our Goals

ed in Delaware's publicly funded shelters. The vast majority of these pets are euthanized because of space limitations, behavioral issues, and medical challenges. These numbers do not take into account the thousands of homeless cats that huddle near dumpsters, living in fear. They need our help and the best solution is a coordinated Trap-Neuter-Return effort and a colony care program. Pet overpopulation and homelessness is a community problem, not a shelter problem. It takes a unified effort within the community to solve the problem and to do so in a humane, effective manner. Faithful Friends is committed to the national no-kill goal for the entire state. This state goal is in line with the goal set by Best Friends Animal Society to make our nation and no-kill nation! This means that we are committed to working for a day when all Delaware shelters save ALL healthy, treatable, and trainable animals, resulting in a 90% or higher save rate. Faithful Friends is also committed to fighting for animals' welfare of animals in all local shelters so that all pets in our community receive the treatment and care they deserve. Create a community that is committed to the lives of animals and humanely reduces the birth of unwanted pets through spay/neuter initiatives.

2. Find suitable homes for adoptable dogs and cats and provide sanctuary for those who - because of age, illness, or temperament - require long-term or lifetime care

3. Reduce pet relinquishments and manage feral cat colonies in the community whenever necessary by providing critical support services

4. Enhance the bond between pets and people; utilize the shelter and adoptable animals as a teaching and healing tool to benefit people

5. Build from the success of the most forward-thinking leaders in animal welfare who are spearheading the national no-kill movement; reduce euthanasia rates in Delaware to reflect the national no-kill goal of 90% or better save rate. No-kill is defined by saving all adoptable, treatable and trainable dogs and cats (and where community cats that are unadoptable are kept out of shelters unless injured or sick; and where instead their caretakers are supported in the community where they have made their homes)

6. Drive public policy and program development in animal welfare in Delaware to make our state the first no-kill state in America

Dr. Meghan DesGroseilliers, our Associate Veterinarian, and Terry, one of our Licensed Vet Techs, spoke to students at Salesianum School about what it takes to become a vet!
Dr Meghan discussed what is needed to obtain entrance to vet school and her experience at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts and LSU for her clinical year, and Terry talked to them about being a Licensed Vet Tech. They went over X-rays and some cases and ended with listening to the heart and lungs of Duchess, Terry's dog, and showing them how she would perform a physical exam.

🚨 BIG NEWS! 🚨
After years of placing pets in loving homes, we're thrilled to launch our newest program… Pet Employee Training! 🐶🐱💼
That's right—our dogs and cats are learning real jobs to help cover their own adoption fees! Training is already underway, and we're seeing some interesting results:
🐶 Loki the Chihuahua is our new mailroom assistant, but he keeps shredding the packages…
🐱 Lindy was promoted to receptionist, but she refuses to answer the phone unless she's in the mood.
🐶 Drako tried fetching coffee, but he drank it instead.
🐱 Tiggy was assigned to IT but only walks across keyboards.
We're still working out the kinks, but if you'd like to hire one of these hard-working pets, come visit us today! 😆 https://bit.ly/FFASAdoptAPet
💸Or you can help give them a raise: https://bit.ly/HTFffas

Hi! I'm Missie Mae. I'm a 9-year-old sweet gal looking for a place to call home. I am very talkative and love receiving pets. I'll give you licks and kisses in exchange. I'm not too fond of other cats as I like to be the center of attention, but I will coexist with another cat as long as I still get my own space. I like to play, but I also enjoy lounging on someone's lap while watching TV. May I have your lap to cuddle up on? Interested in Adopting? My adoption fee is waived.

Our Story

Our History Faithful Friends was founded in 2000, as Citizens for the Protection and Care of Animals, by a group of local animal lovers who believe there is a better way to address the problem of pet homelessness than mass euthanasia. At that time, 80-90% of animals entering shelters did not make it out alive. Currently, about 16,000 pets become homeless in Delaware and over 5,000 are destroyed in Delaware's publicly funded shelters. The vast majority of these pets are destroyed because of space limitations, behavioral issues and medical challenges. These numbers do not take into account the thousands of homeless cats that huddle near dumpsters, living in fear. They need our help and the best solution is a coordinated Trap-Neuter-Return effort and a colony care program. Pet overpopulation and homelessness is a community problem, not a shelter problem. It takes a unified effort within the community to solve the problem and to do so in a humane, effective manner. Faithful Friends is committed to the national no-kill goal for the entire state. This state goal is in line with the goal set by Best Friends Animal Society to make our nation and no-kill nation! This means that we are committed to working for a day when all Delaware shelters save ALL healthy, treatable and trainable animals, resulting in a 90% or higher save rate. Faithful Friends is also committed to fight for the welfare of animals in all local shelters, so that all pets in our community receive the treatment and care they deserve. We hope you will join this effort! Our Goals 1. Create a community that is committed to the lives of animals and humanely reduces the birth of unwanted pets through spay/neuter initiatives. 2. Find suitable homes for adoptable dogs and cats and provide sanctuary for those who - because of age, illness or temperament - require long-term or lifetime care 3.
