| 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!
