We will have the courage and tenacity to:
Fight for the humane treatment of animals
Promote our no-kill philosophy
Operate with transparency and integrity
Foster teamwork and collaboration
Demonstrate respect and kindness

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!
