FOMAS Programs

• Pay It Forward – Pay It Forward covers the adoption fees for cats older than 6 months, large breed dogs weighing 40 lbs. or more, and senior shelter pets.
  
  
• Long-Stay Champion VIP – Adoption fees are covered by FOMAS for Long-Stay Champsions (i.e., dogs that have been at the shelter for 45 days or longer). Adopters also receive a free VIP package valued at over $500. The VIP Package includes items such as: Core Vaccinations (3 years); Jefferson County Pet License (3-Year); Heartworm Preventative (6 months); a Freedom Harness with a Leash; a bag of starter food; and a large crate (upon request).

• Waived Redemption Fees – When the shelter is full, FOMAS covers the cost of the redemption fees for owners who are reclaiming their pets. This allows owners to be reunited with their pets without the burden of additional costs.

• Medical Voucher Program - FOMAS approved a $60,000 Medical Voucher Program for 2024/2025. The goal is to help individuals in the community who need extra support in getting their animals much-needed care.
