Providing monetary support to fund lifesaving medical care and specialty surgeries needed to help pets thrive in new homes. As the only shelter in the borderland that accepts the pets most in need, regardless of medical condition or shelter space, El Paso Animal Services is often caring for pets suffering from extreme trauma, life-threatening illnesses and other medical ailments. Funding goes to ensuring any treatable pet is able to get the medical care they need, either within the shelter or with a partner private clinic.

​

Friends of EPAS also fundraises to support low-cost and no-cost spay/neuter services to help reduce the pet overpopulation in the borderland region.

Since El Paso Animal Services reformed their operations in 2016, dozens of programs and services have been implemented to ensure the shelter continues to move toward its no-kill mission. Some examples of these programs include: Foster, Animal Training & Enrichment, Community Cats, Volunteer and more.

Your gift goes directly to the animals and the hardworking volunteers dedicated to helping pets in need such as providing enrichment items to reduce shelter stress and animal supplies to keep pets in foster homes and out of the shelter.

El Paso Animal Services doesn’t just care for homeless pets, but also has programs to ensure pets don’t end up without a home in the first place. Oftentimes, families don’t want to have to give up their pet, but life and circumstances pressure them into having to make tough decisions.

By helping us fund pet support programming, we can help keep pets with the families that love them, rather than them ending up at the shelter, through programs such as free and low-cost Pet Wellness Services, Pet Pantry, Pet Resources and more.
