Meet Miryam Chae, president and founder of Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter. Miryam has been part of the Napa County Animal Shelter community since 2010!
Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter is a nonprofit that raises funds to support animals at Napa County Animal Shelter. When an animal needs urgent medical care after arriving at the shelter, we help provide funding for treatment. Our support can continue after adoption, too: we assist eligible alumni pets facing unexpected medical expenses, helping them stay with the families who love them.
We also work with local trainers and rehabilitation specialists to help shelter animals build confidence and get the support they need to thrive in a home.
Through medical assistance, adoption programs, community outreach, education, and volunteer opportunities, we help local pets get the care they need and find loving homes. Every donation, volunteer hour, and share helps create more second chances.
