Founded in 1996, Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies is dedicated to the humane treatment of animals. Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies has been actively raising funds to assist the Palm Springs Animal Shelter with operational needs since it's inception. On November 1, 2012 the City of Palm Springs and Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies entered into an agreement allowing Friends to assume operation of the shelter. This partnership paved the way for a new model of sheltering in the City of Palm Springs. Committed to being a humane and compassionate animal care and adoption center, the shelter does not euthanize animals for space, or for length of stay. As a public, open admissions shelter we provide a safe haven for ALL animals - those who are highly adoptable, those who require rehabilitation and training, and those requiring minor to severe medical treatment. To meet the challenge of compassionately operating a public shelter, Friends relies on donations, volunteers, foster guardians, community support and of course, ADOPTIONS!

🐾 Tiny Paws, Big Commitment 🐾

Puppies are full of energy, curiosity, and endless opportunities to make you smile. They also need time, patience, training, and plenty of guidance as they learn about the world around them.

The work you put in during those early months helps shape the loyal, loving companion you'll have for years to come. Before bringing home a puppy, make sure you're ready for the commitment—but if you are, the rewards are truly priceless. ❤️

Our hearts are full tonight. ❤️

We're excited to share that 31 animals found loving homes during today's California Adopt-a-Pet Day event, including 16 cats and 15 dogs. These are just a few of the happy adopters and pets who found each other today.

To every adopter, thank you for opening your home and your heart. These pets are beginning a new chapter, and we are honored to have been part of their journey.

Every adoption makes a difference, not only for the animal going home, but for the next pet waiting for their chance. With each adoption, space opens for us to help even more animals in need.

A huge thank you to California Animal Welfare Association, ASPCA, and The San Francisco SPCA for hosting California Adopt-a-Pet Day, and to everyone who supported today's event and helped make it such a success.
