| OUR MISSION |
 As the Friends of the Charlton Animal Shelter (F.O.C.A.S.) it is our mission to raise funds to improve the housing and care for homeless and displaced animals in the Town of Charlton, MA.
Not only do we wish to improve the shelter's physical structure, we would also like to provide the funds needed for special equipment, educational programs and services, including public awareness relating to animal health, disease and cruelty issues.
As a non-profit organization, funds will be raised through donations, membership fees, events and grants. We look forward to working with you!
Visit our How To Help page for other ways you can assist. Thanks!

 December 19, 2011 Update - Merry Christmas Lucy!
Santa paid a special visit to Lucy so she could get her holiday photo taken with her foster mom, Sarah, so that all her friends and supporters could see how well she's doing :).
November 24, 2011 Update: Lucy has a foster home! We are still accepting donations as she has another month of treatments, but we are so happy that she's in a loving home to continue her recovery. Thank you Sarah!
 Lucy's Rescue Story
Lucy is a 5ish year old Shepherd mix who was found wandering a back road in Charlton. Thin, missing a lot of fur, and clearly neglected for some time, she was seen by a vet and diagnosed with mange and lyme disease. Never claimed, she has been under the care of Charlton Animal Control. Lucy is on medications for mange and lyme disease and has responded well to treatment. This sweet girl also gets soothing medicated baths twice a week. She has a few weeks of treatment left, but is feeling so much better already.
Fundraiser for Lucy!
FOCAS is asking for your help to offset the costs of her treatment which is upwards of $600. Donations may be made payable to Friends of Charlton Animal Shelter with "Lucy" in the memo line, and mailed to FOCAS, P.O. Box 322, Charlton, MA 01507. Lucy thanks you!!
