Welcome to the Animal Protection Society - Friday Harbor (APS-FH), a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the welfare of animals since 1982. Our mission is to protect and improve the lives of companion pets in our community, all thanks to the generosity of our supporters as we operate solely on private funding.
At APS-FH, we believe that every pet deserves a loving home. Our adoption programs are designed to match families with their perfect companions, ensuring that both pets and families flourish together. We extend our services beyond just adoption; we offer educational outreach, low-cost clinics, and robust community support, making a tangible impact in the lives of the animals we serve.
Our core values reflect our commitment to animal welfare: providing a safe haven for homeless and lost animals, reuniting lost pets with their families, advocating for the protection of animals, and reducing pet overpopulation through spay and neuter education. We also pledge to always adhere to a no-kill philosophy for all adoptable animals in our care.
Our vision is a compassionate community where every pet receives the love and care they deserve. We strive to nurture the bond between humans and animals, and we believe in the transformative power of companionship. Our team comprises passionate individuals dedicated to creating solutions that ensure the welfare of all pets on San Juan Island.
By supporting APS-FH, whether through donations, volunteering, or participating in our community events, you contribute not only to the lives of individual animals but also to a thriving, responsible community that cherishes and respects all forms of life. Join us in making a difference for the pets who rely on us for their second chance at life! Together, we can build a brighter future for every furry friend in need.
