Friends of Lincoln County Animals, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing funding and assistance to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter and help for other domesticated animals in the county.

TO OUR VALUED PICK OF THE LITTER SHOPPERS & DONORS:

  Pick of the Litter is currently open for both shopping & donations on Fridays & Saturdays

during our usual hours (store 10–4, receiving 10–3:30). We are now also accepting donations on Thursdays!

Donation times and quantities may be limited - call for details.

We continue to be closed for shopping on Thursdays for now.
We encourage you to call the store at 541-574-1861 for further updates in the coming weeks.

We also encourage you to consider volunteering at POTL if you have a few spare hours a week. The faster we can build up our volunteer team, the faster we can add back Thursdays to the top-notch shopping experience our customers have enjoyed for the past 15 years.

Please download a volunteer application from the Thrift Store page and drop it off with us at your earliest opportunity.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Direct payments to local vets for

 spay/neuter & related services:    $27,500

      (99 shelter animals fixed)

With the money raised at our Pick of the Litter thrift store, FOLCAS pays for the spay & neuter of the animals at the Lincoln County Animal Shelter and also provides financial assistance for local pet guardians who need help affording medical care, dental care, & spay/neuter for their pets.

We're grateful to have been able to maintain our full level of program services throughout the pandemic period even though we had to close the store for 5 1/2 months in 2020 and again in September 2021.

In addition to our rainy day reserves, we have been able to keep up with our commitments thanks to

• Donations from many individuals in Lincoln County and beyond
• Donations from local businesses
• Annual & supplemental grants from the So Hum Foundation of Portland
• Social service agency grants from Lincoln County and the City of Newport
• Charitable fundraising programs run by Fred Meyer, the Oregon Beverage 
  Recycling Cooperative, Planet Green Recycle, Goodsearch.com, 
  and WoofTrax (see the DONATE page for details)
• Merchandise sales through our volunteer-managed eBay store 

Our county’s animals and the people who care for them thank and salute you all!

FOLCAS volunteers also staffed the helpline for the Lincoln County Spay/Neuter program, providing free spay/neuter for the pets of low-income County residents in 2024 through money secured by the County Commissioners from grants under the American Recovery Plan Act of 2023 (ARPA). Close to four hundred vouchers were issued for local pets to be fixed free of charge through this program.

Many of the photos on this website were taken by our Pick of the Litter staff and volunteers.

THANK YOU!
