We work hand in hand with the the Lewis County Animal Shelter and we support them in any way we can.

Spay/Neuter is the only sure way to decrease the number of unwanted pets that have to be euthanized every year.
Lewis County residents:
Please call 360-748-6236 to schedule your low cost spay/neuter today.

	Building a no- kill pet adoption center has always been our goal, but ultimately we need to educate our community on the benefits of spaying and neutering their animals. Only by decreasing the numbers will we truly make a difference. With the building of the low cost spay and neuter clinic we will be able to practice what we preach. We will be able to target animal populations that would otherwise never be taken to a vet to be spayed or neutered. One adoption center is not going to end euthanasia. It might delay it. It might even increase the number of adoptions. But ultimately, people need to have their pets spayed and neutered so the number of unwanted pets decreases. Saving one animal may not make a huge difference in the world but it makes a huge world of difference to that one animal.

It's getting closer! Our design for Almost Home, our no-kill pet adoption center that will work hand in hand with LCAS, will show that it is possible to build responsibly within a flood plain. We plan on building the building up, not the land & incorporating lots of "green" features that are environmentally friendly.

Some businesses who have already generously agreed to donate their time are Markthor MacFarlane of Arch-Eco Design, RB Engineering, Bluhm & Associates Land Surveying and McCann Construction/Properties Plus & The Lewis County Master Builder's Association If you would like to help with this project, or would like to make a donation,please e-mail pattyk@folcas.org
