🇺🇸🐾 With Fourth of July fireworks right around the corner, now is the perfect time to make sure your pets are protected. Loud noises and fireworks can scare even the calmest pets, causing many to panic and run away.

Join us at our upcoming vaccine clinic where we will also be offering microchips to help your pets find their way back home if they ever become lost. A microchip is a simple way to give your pet an extra layer of protection and peace of mind during the holiday.

Help keep your furry family members safe this Independence Day. ❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸🐾 Con los fuegos artificiales del 4 de julio acercándose, este es el momento perfecto para asegurarse de que sus mascotas estén protegidas. Los ruidos fuertes y los fuegos artificiales pueden asustar incluso a las mascotas más tranquilas, haciendo que muchas huyan de casa.

Acompáñenos en nuestra próxima clínica de vacunas donde también estaremos ofreciendo microchips para ayudar a que sus mascotas regresen a casa si llegan a perderse. Un microchip es una forma sencilla de brindarles una capa extra de protección y tranquilidad durante las festividades.

Ayude a mantener segura a su familia peluda este Día de la Independencia. ❤️🤍💙

Just a quick update on Bobby! He is doing fantastic. We can't thank everyone who donated to his surgery enough. He is a happy playful little guy now, enjoying life like a kitten should. He will continue to finish healing and then he will head to the bay area to be adopted! When you support FMAS these are the types of situations you are supporting. We believe every animal deserves a quality life and because of our amazing donors Bobby is one of those who will. We may not be able to save them all but we can try and we can make sure the ones we are able to help will live a wonderful quality life. Thank you for your continued support!!!

¡Solo una rápida actualización sobre Bobby! Él está haciendo fantástico. No podemos agradecerles a todos los que donaron para su cirugía lo suficiente. Ahora es un pequeño feliz y juguetón, disfrutando de la vida como debería hacerlo un gatito. ¡Continuará terminando de sanar y luego se dirigirá al Área de la Bahía para ser adoptado! Cuando apoyas a FMAS, estos son los tipos de situaciones que estás apoyando. Creemos que cada animal merece una vida de calidad y gracias a nuestros increíbles donantes, Bobby es uno de los que lo harán. Puede que no seamos capaces de salvarlos a todos, pero podemos intentarlo y asegurarnos de que los que podemos ayudar vivan una vida maravillosa. ¡¡¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo!!!

🐾 ALL 19 PUPPIES ARE SAFE. 🐾

After days of networking, coordinating, transporting, fostering, donating, sharing posts, and hoping for the best, the final two puppies are officially on their way to Wiggly Tails Rescue in Oregon and a new chance at life. 💙

A huge thank you to Animal Rescue of Fresno (ARF) for helping make transport possible and helping connect these babies with rescue placement. We are also incredibly grateful to Wiggly Tails Rescue for opening their hearts and giving these puppies the opportunity for loving forever homes.

To everyone who donated, shared our posts, offered support, reached out to rescues, fostered, transported, or kept these puppies in your thoughts, thank you. The love and support from this community has truly meant the world to us.

While our work is far from over, moments like this remind us what can happen when a community comes together for animals in need. Because of all of you, these 19 puppies now have hope. 🐶✨💙

Thank you for the donations!!!!!!!!
As well as monetary donations we are always in need of supply donations. These donations were brought in by a supporter yesterday. Some items we are always in need of are Cat and Dog food both wet food and kibble, crates that are in good conditions, we use both travel and wire crates in all different sizes. We are also always in need of sheets and towels or blankets for our crates and also for our animals in foster care, dog and cat toys, heat discs, puppy and kitten formula, bottles, and many other items. If you are interested in donating supplies you can do so by dropping them off at our office. If you would like to know if we can use certain items please message the page or comment. We also have a small "store front" pictured behind these donations which always has cute little collars, leashes, beds, outfits, dog and cat shampoo, treats and much more and we accept donations for those items. Thank you to the donor who brought these items in, we are completely blown away and extremely grateful for all the community support we have received in this last few weeks. The community has really stepped up and supported us so we can continue helping the animals and people in our community. With limited resources for animals in this area it is very important we fight to keep every resource available and accessible to the community.

¡¡¡Gracias por las donaciones!!!!!
Además de las donaciones monetarias, siempre necesitamos donaciones de suministro. Estas donaciones fueron traídas por un partidario ayer. Algunos artículos que siempre necesitamos son comida para gatos y perros, tanto comida húmeda como croquetas, cajas que están en buenas condiciones, usamos cajas de viaje y alambre en todos los tamaños. También siempre necesitamos sábanas, toallas o mantas para nuestras cajas y también para nuestros animales en hogares de acogida, juguetes para perros y gatos, discos de calor, fórmula para cachorros y gatitos, botellas y muchos otros artículos. Si estás interesado en donar suministros, puedes hacerlo dejándolos en nuestra oficina. Si desea saber si podemos usar ciertos elementos, envíe un mensaje a la página o comentario. También tenemos una pequeña "tienda" detrás de estas donaciones que siempre tiene lindos collares, correas, camas, trajes, champú para perros y gatos, golosinas y mucho más, y aceptamos donaciones para esos artículos. Gracias al donante que trajo estos artículos, estamos completamente impresionados y extremadamente agradecidos por todo el apoyo de la comunidad que hemos recibido en estas últimas semanas. La comunidad realmente ha dado un paso adelante y nos ha apoyado para que podamos seguir ayudando a los animales y a las personas de nuestra comunidad. Con recursos limitados para los animales en esta área, es muy importante que luchemos por mantener todos los recursos disponibles y accesibles para la comunidad.

We are beyond thankful for the amount of support we have received through this difficult time. We could not have done this without all the generosity from our community. We are truly grateful for everything we have received so far. Let's keep getting the word out there so we can continue our life saving work for the animals and people of our community. Please be patient with us as we are very short staffed and have limited volunteers. We have been incredibly busy and are trying our best to keep up with all the calls and messages. If you would like to volunteer please fill out our form online or go into the office to fill it out. We will be getting around to contacting everyone back as soon as we are able to. Volunteer hours are the only way we are able to sustain the work load we handle with our limited staff so we are always in need of more volunteers. Please spread the word!

The Friends of Madera Animal Shelter is seeing an outpouring of support from the community after a FOX26 story helped shine a light on the organization’s fundra

🐾 THANK YOU, LITTLE CRITTERS PUPPY RESCUE! 🐾
Because of the incredible support from our community, another group of puppies is now safe and heading toward brighter futures. We are so grateful to Little Critters Puppy Rescue for stepping up and taking in five of the puppies abandoned at our office this week. 💙

Every share, donation, kind word, and rescue connection has helped give these babies a real chance at finding loving forever homes. Watching our community come together during such a difficult and emotional situation has truly meant the world to us.

We are now down to the final few puppies still needing rescue placement, and we are continuing to fight for them just as hard.
Thank you to everyone who has supported, donated, shared our posts, and kept these puppies in your thoughts.

And most importantly, thank you again to for opening your hearts and your doors to these puppies. We appreciate you more than words can say. 🐶✨💙

🐾 ¡Gracias, LITTLE CRITTERS PUPPY RESCUE! 🐾
Debido al increíble apoyo de nuestra comunidad, otro grupo de cachorros está ahora a salvo y se dirige hacia un futuro más brillante. Estamos muy agradecidos a Little Critters Puppy Rescue por dar un paso adelante y acoger a cinco de los cachorros abandonados en nuestra oficina esta semana. 💙
Cada acción, donación, palabra amable y conexión de rescate ha ayudado a dar a estos bebés una oportunidad real de encontrar hogares amorosos para siempre. Ver a nuestra comunidad unirse en una situación tan difícil y emocional realmente ha significado el mundo para nosotros.

Ahora estamos hasta los últimos cachorros que aún necesitan ser colocados en el rescate, y seguimos luchando por ellos con la misma fuerza.

Gracias a todos los que han apoyado, donado, compartido nuestras publicaciones y mantenido a estos cachorros en sus pensamientos.

Y lo más importante, gracias de nuevo a por abrir sus corazones y sus puertas a estos cachorros. Te apreciamos más de lo que las palabras pueden decir. 🐶✨💙
