🐾 Rotary Recap 🐾
Today, the Perry Rotary Club had the pleasure of hearing from Roberta Lasater with Friends of the Perry Animal Shelter (FOPAS) about the incredible work their organization is doing to care for homeless animals in our community.
Some amazing highlights included:
🐶 In July, every dog that entered Perry Animal Control had a positive outcome—they were adopted, transferred to a rescue, or reunited with their owner. That’s an incredible milestone!
🐱 FOPAS currently cares for dozens of dogs and cats, relying on 397 volunteers, a small staff, and generous community support to make their mission possible.
❤️ Each year, they help 400–600 animals find loving homes through adoption, foster care, and rescue partnerships.
Roberta also shared ways our community can make a difference:
• Volunteer at the shelter
• Foster a pet
• Sponsor an adoption fee
• Donate supplies or auction items
• Help promote adoptable animals through your business or social media
Thank you, Roberta, for sharing your passion and reminding us that every act of kindness—whether it’s volunteering, fostering, donating, or adopting—helps give these animals a second chance.
