What Your Donations Do

The Metro Animal Shelter, at 1200 39th Ave SE, Puyallup, WA 98374, is limited in resources and has grown from only serving two cities to seven! And with this increase in service areas, the animal residency at the shelter has increased over time as well. 

This is where FAYMAS comes in. The donations FAYMAS collects through yearly memberships, donation drives, grants, and community events are distributed to the Metro Animal Shelter in a variety of ways:

• Your gift can help subsidize adoptions for senior animals - $20
  
• Your gift can cover the cost of a microchip - $35
• Your gift can help pay for necessary veterinary expenses - $50
  
• And any other necessities to improve and save the lives of shelter pets   
  

Over the past few years, the donations from FAYMAS helped getting dozens of animals adopted into their Forever Families and we have no plans on stopping yet! But we need all the help we can get. 

Donation is easy and simple, and you can do it in a number of ways.

• Fred Meyer Community Rewards –  
  

Link your Fred Meyer Rewards Card to earn points for FAYMAS while you earn points for yourself! Search for us by Friends at Your Metro Animal Shelter or our non-profit number WB437.

• Individual Donations –
  

Any and all donations are welcome, and can be done right here on our website! We also take donations whenever we’re out at events, collected at our booth!

• Joining FAYMAS –
  

Another source of donation comes from becoming a member of FAYMAS. Your yearly fee is an automatic donation that’s passed onto the shelter, and is tax deductible for you as well! How great is that?

How much we are able do is dependent on your help – a small donation can go a long way and can Make a Difference. 

FRIENDS AT YOUR METRO ANIMAL SHELTER 

We are a  FAYMAS and diverse group - young and old, men and women with a variety of backgrounds, education and life experiences. We have one thing in common - a heart for animals, particularly those who can't help themselves. One of the Friends was quoted as saying,

"My pets have been my best friends for as long as I can remember. They cheer me up when I am feeling blue and share in my excitement when I am celebrating. It is a very comforting feeling knowing that my dog will greet me tail-wagging and will instantly brighten up my day as soon as I walk through the door. I haven’t yet met a human that has that same effect on me. There are some people in this world, however, that do not share these feelings. Whatever the circumstances may be, the animal shelter is a safe haven for these pets."

Help us make sure the shelter is a place of comfort for the pets and a bridge to their forever families, and continue our mission:

• Increase pet adoptions by raising awareness and supplementing adoptions
  
• Improve the quality of shelter animals’ lives by funding special vaccinations, extraordinary veterinary expenses, and shelter improvement projects
  
• Promote spay and neuter by funding spay and neuter in unusual situations
