Donations
We are invested in food security for pets and for people. We funnel pet food donations primarily through the pet program of Integrated Services. They reach children services, domestic violence survivors, the unhoused and so many who are in true need of help. We appreciate any participation from the community in our fundraising efforts at the shop.
We also support the following organizations for specific fundraisers and food donations.
Athens County Dog Shelter (county run shelter)
Friends of the Shelter Dogs (non-profit associated with the Athens County Dog Shelter)
Feral Cat Ladies (new 2/2026, Hocking County)
These donations are tax-exempt, but not tax-deductible as Friendly Paws is not a non-profit. Click on links above to donate directly for gifts not associated with our fundraisers.
