Friends of San Francisco Animal Care and Control

ANIMAL BEHAVIOR AND TRAINING (B&T). Friends continued to fund the San Francisco Animal Care and Control (SFACC) B&T program, which provides assessment, training, socialization, special treats and toys, wellbeing, and "adoptability". ANIMAL RESCUE PARTNER GRANTS: The shelter's success is partly due to its partnerships with other non-profit animal rescue organizations. Friends disbursed grants to numerous rescue partners serving a range of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, rodents, reptiles, and other wildlife. These grants help offset the cost of training and medical care for the animals the rescue partners take from the shelter. VETERINARY SERVICES AND SUPPLIES. Friends continued to provide emergency medical funding for certain animals requiring extraordinary veterinary care. During the year, Friends paid for medical emergency procedures, rabbit vaccines, and medications. Friends continued to underwrite the SFACC Low-Cost Rabies/Microchip Clinics, paying for the rabies vaccine and microchips, as well as for the outside (non-shelter) veterinary technicians who work at the clinics.
