Rescues and Adoptions in 2020

COFAS rescued 1,135 critters in 2020. This was a combination of accepting from animal control facilities and owner surrenders. We never turn anyone away due to pre-existing conditions. We ensure all of our rescues receive the medical care needed to become popular family members. Speaking of adoptions, COFAS placed 1, 042 critters into loving forever homes. The level of happiness attained is far above that.

Spay / Neuter in 2020

COFAS is proud that we were able to provide spay / neuter services to 405 critters in 2020. COFAS believes that investing in our community reduces the financial burden that has beset many of our neighbors. In 2020, COFAS invested just under $25,000 in medical care for family owned pets.

Circle of Friends Animal Society invested just under $25,000 in 2020 in support of our community with these vital spay / neuter / medical programs

Circle of Friends Animal Society (COFAS) believes that no family should be required to make difficult pet ownership decisions due to cost issues. To that end, and with a fantastic support team, COFAS created multiple programs to assist area residents

Community Spay / Neuter Program. Our primary outreach program performed with the support of Durham Veterinary Clinic. The program has residency and income requirements targeting pet owners residing within Greene and Putnam counties. Qualified owner’s dogs and cats receive the spay / neuter procedure and required vaccinations at no cost to the pet owner.

Spay / Neuter Clinics at Durham Veterinary Clinic. To improve access to this very important spay / neuter procedure, Circle of Friends Animal Society, with the support of Durham Veterinary Clinic, coordinates a low cost clinic in Greene County. On the designated day, we offer the spay / neuter procedure at the subsidized rates of $50 / dog and $40 / cat. The program does not have residency or income requirements but space is limited.

Mobile Spay / Neuter Clinics in Eatonton. COFAS has partnered with Saving Animals from Euthanasia (SAFE) to offer a low cost clinic in Eatonton, GA. SAFE operates a state-of-the-art mobile unit to offer services in areas that may not otherwise have treatment options.

Emergency Medical. COFAS hopes this need is rare but understands it is sometimes unavoidable. We will assist Greene and Putnam pet owners with emergency situations when cost is a factor. The program is operated on a case-by-case basis.
