The Friends of El Paso Animal Services concept was started in 2017 by former City Representative Dr. Michiel Noe to support El Paso Animal Services’ lifesaving goal. The Friends of El Paso Animal Services Fund in the El Paso Community Foundation will bridge the gap between the city shelter and the animals in its care, providing innovative programs to help find forever homes for shelter animals.

El Paso Animal Services provides exceptional care and treatment to improve the quality of life of pets in the shelter and the community. But it needs some help. Philanthropic support is a necessity to reach El Paso Animal Services’ goal of making El Paso a no-kill community.

Being the only open-admission shelter in the borderland region, EPAS currently has more than 1,000 animals at the shelter and 3,000 pets in foster care. Its partnership with EPCF will allow the shelter to take in tax-deductible donations and apply for grants to further its mission to provide El Paso’s animals a safe, healthy, and happy future. Your tax-deductible donation will be used to help save the lives of pets in need, whether it helps pay for a medical procedure, provides supplies to a foster caregiver, or enhances a lifesaving program.
