Almost Home
Almost home is no-kill pet adoption center and low cost spay/neuter clinic coming soon to Lewis County.  We are currently taking monetary and gift-in-kind donations for the construction of the new center.

Friends of the Lewis County Animal Shelter is dedicated to serving the needs of all animals in Lewis County. Our primary mission is to aid the Lewis County Animal Shelter in caring for the animals while at the shelter  and to assist in finding homes for as many animals as possible through adoption and outreach programs. It is also our goal to promote responsible pet ownership by educating our community on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. 

 Currently we accept donations for the following programs:

General fund
All donations made without a specific designation are put in a general fund to be used as needed to purchase supplies that benefit animals,large and small, in Lewis County. This fund will be used to provide ongoing care to animals that survived the devastating December flood that has taken a toll on the animals in our area. Donations may be directed to specific areas of flood relief by e-mailing pattyk@folcas.org with direction on where that specific donation should be used, for example, hay or grain. Requests for receipts for tax purposes should be made to the same e-mail.

Planned Giving
Planned Giving Sustains Operations and Provides ongoing Care

A common misconception is that planned giving is only for the very wealthy. Planned Giving involves integrating a donor's charitable gift into his or her overall financial, tax, and estate planning objectives so as to maximize benefits to both the donor and the Friends of the Lewis County Animal Shelter (FOLCAS). Planned gifts typically come from a donor's assets rather than income, and can be either outright or deferred. Also, it is highly recommended that donors consult with their own tax or legal advisor prior to making a planned gift.

There are several planned giving options:

Bequests
Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable Lead Trusts
FOLCAS as Beneficiary
Gifts of Property/Real Estate
Making FOLCAS the Successor Interest of a Contract
