Home Sweet FOPAS Home
Please help us build a forever home! FOPAS has limited time remaining on the lease agreement at our current location to find land and raise the necessary funding to build our permanent home. Our goals are 6-10 acres and $1,000,000. In 2008, more than 475 cats and dogs were rescued, fully vetted and placed in loving homes. To continue our efforts, we must find a permanent location. We need your help to build on this success!
Just the Fax Ma'am
FOPAS announces the installation of a new fax machine. Please make note of this new number: 816.587.0929.
Pets of the Week
Marvin
Okay, here's the deal. Marvin has the cutest, squishiest face, it tugs on our 
heartstrings just to look at him. This German Shorthair Pointer/Hound mix is full of fun! Marvin loves many things ~ people, other dogs, hugs, a scratch in that perfect spot right under his collar and, like all FOPAS dogs, Chicken Snacks! Most of all, Marvin would love a family of his very own. Get ready to melt when you meet this one!
Hopper
Hopper What could be better than adopting a handsome orange tabby cat?! Seriously. Hopper is everything you could want in a cuddly sweet companion. He has good looks, charm and is ready to make your home a little more, well...homey. Imagine being greeted with a puurrr after a long day away. Now that's something to be thankful for! Don't miss out on the chance to adopt Hopper. Contact FOPAS today!
King's good fortune!
There is excited and then there is EX-CIT-ED! We are all EX-CIT-ED to receive such heartwarming news from King and his forever family that he is the "BEST DOG EVER!!!" In fact, King shared so many doggone adorable photos, 
it's hard to pick a favorite. Here are just a couple of the wonderful snapshots of King's Happily Ever
After.
King's mom Stephanie reports that he enjoys 2 mile walks and jogs each day and shares many talents, such as sit, lay down, speak, roll over, give me a paw, and all sled dog commands. You know, he always was a talker! King sleeps at the foot of the bed and enjoys his new sibling (and playmate),
Sam. As we give thanks this season, let's remember the caring, compassionate rescuers who choose adoption as their first option. Congratulations to King and to his awesome new family. May you have many happy, healthy years to
gether!

SOS
Our strays would sure appreciate your gently used blankets, comforters, sheets and bath towels to make their "apartments" more comfy. If you can help, please drop these items by the shelter and we'll put them to great use. Thank you in advance!
FOPAS can earn a penny every time you search the Internet AND a percentage of every purchase made online can also support our efforts. It's true! Help FOPAS raise funds by using Goodsearch and entering Friends of Parkville Animal Shelter as the charity of choice.
Purrs & Tail Wags to all of our generous recyclers who donated newspapers for FOPAS felines. For now, the kitties are all set - no more newspapers are needed. Thank you for your help! Cupid is just one of the many cats putting newspapers to good use, while awaiting a forever home.

We Love Foster Families
Can you help a friend in need? The FOPAS foster program plays an important role in our adoption success, providing socialization, training and an understanding of each animal's needs to help us find a good match with potential families. Food and medical needs are covered by FOPAS but we do ask that you are able to transport the cat or dog to Saturday adoptions. Of course, foster families also help us rescue more animals! With limited shelter space available, opening your home and heart to a stray truly saves lives by allowing us to welcome more animals in need. YOU can help ensure our continuing success.
