Submitted by the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor
Animal Protection Society Friday Harbor would once again like to thank our caring community for its ongoing generosity and support. Many have reached out to continue their P.A.L. (People Animals Love) membership, supporting shelter operations and at the recent San Juan County Fair as part of the San Juan Island Community Foundation matching grant program.
The SJICF matching grant program raised funds for the purchase and installation of a water catchment system at the animal shelter and we are terrifically excited to now be in the process of installing this much-needed addition to our facility and grounds. This system helps us take another step toward sustainability and softens our paw-print on the environment.
Thank you SJI for helping APS-FH provide compassionate care and a brighter future for homeless animals.
