***Unfortunately this event has been canceled

🐾 Your new best friend could be waiting for you. ❤️
There are so many wonderful animals waiting for someone to see them, choose them, and make them part of the family. Adoption gives them that chance — and makes room for another animal who needs one, too.
Come meet our adoptable pets this Saturday. You may arrive just to say hello… and leave wondering how you ever lived without them. 🐶🐾
Please share and help us reach the families they’re waiting for!

🐾 Tu nuevo mejor amigo podría estar esperándote. ❤️
Hay tantos animalitos maravillosos esperando que alguien los vea, los elija y los haga parte de su familia. Adoptar les da esa oportunidad — y también abre espacio para otro animalito que necesita ayuda.
Ven a conocer a nuestras mascotas en adopción este sábado. Tal vez llegues solo para saludarlas… y te vayas preguntándote cómo pudiste vivir sin ellas. 🐶🐾
¡Comparte esta publicación y ayúdanos a llegar a las familias que ellos están esperando!

This guy was found yesterday. We are hoping to find a foster for him so that he can enter our adoption program after his stray hold. He is possibly 2 years old and may be a fast move. He gets along qorh orher dogs and has not shown agression to cats. We would like to have a one month commitment from someone. Please message us if interested in foatering. All supplies needed will be provided.

FOSTER NEEDED ASAP!!!!
These babies were dumped on the side of the road in a crate in Northfork. Luckily a good Samaritan stopped to check the crate and sure enough these guys were locked it. Thankfully for them this very kind man took them to his shop and reached out to us for help. We are currently short on fosters and we cannot take these guys in unless we secure placement. We are foster based organization and have no facility to house animals in. All supplies will be covered by FMAS. Even if you are only able to short term foster these little babies please reach out. We would like to send a huge thank you to the man who saved these little guys, he definitely saved their lives!!!!

If anyone is able to foster these 3 little cuties please contact our cat program coordinator Diana as soon as possible so we can arrange a pick up time. Her number is 559-975-5370.

🎉🐾 Two more happy endings! 🐾🎉

We’re so excited to share that Brownie and Patches have both been adopted! ❤️🏡

There’s nothing better than watching one of our animals leave an adoption event with a family of their very own, and this weekend TWO of them got to do just that. 🥹

Congratulations, Brownie and Patches! We wish you both a lifetime of love, snuggles, adventures, and being completely spoiled by your new families. ❤️🐶

And thank you to everyone who continues to adopt, share our posts, and help our animals find their way home.

🎉🐾 ¡Dos finales felices más! 🐾🎉

¡Estamos muy emocionados de compartir que Brownie y Patches han sido adoptados! ❤️🏡

No hay nada mejor que ver a uno de nuestros animales salir de un evento de adopción con una familia propia, y este fin de semana DOS de ellos tuvieron que hacer precisamente eso. 🥹

¡Felicidades, Brownie y Patches! Les deseamos a ambos una vida de amor, acurrucaciones, aventuras y ser completamente mimados por sus nuevas familias. ❤️🐶

Y gracias a todos los que continúan adoptando, compartiendo nuestros posts y ayudando a nuestros animales a encontrar el camino a casa.

Update: Clinic is Full for both days!

Friends of Madera Animal Shelter would like to honor and remember Linda Sitterding, a lifelong Madera resident whose kindness and compassion made a lasting impact on our community.

Linda cared deeply for both people and animals. She understood how important spaying and neutering pets is in reducing animal suffering, easing the burden on families, and helping our community as a whole. Throughout her life, she helped many Madera residents alter their pets, often providing support wherever it was needed.

As part of her legacy, Linda made a generous bequest to Friends of Madera Animal Shelter to continue helping Madera County residents with spay and neuter assistance.

We are honored that Linda chose FMAS to help carry forward this important work. The Linda Sitterding Spay-Neuter Fund will continue supporting Madera County residents who need financial assistance to alter their pets.

Linda’s compassion will continue to make a difference for animals and families in our community for years to come. We are truly grateful. ❤️

Attention Madera County Residents❣️🐾

$20 spay/neuter is heading your way August 22nd and 23rd👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Clinics in honor of Linda Sitterding through Friends of Madera Animal Shelter.

To book an appointment, please text or call ☎️ 661-440-4359.

Please share with your Madera communities — we look forward to seeing you soon! 🐾💙
