The Foundation for Protection of Animals provides grants and in-kind services to nonprofit organizations committed to animal welfare. Below are some of the projects with which we are involved:

Annie's Orphans

Annie's Orphans is Durango, Colorado's only limited-admission dog shelter. Anna Anderson has given sanctuary to all breeds of abandoned or neglected dogs for over 30 years. Currently Annie's has over 60 dogs awaiting forever homes. The FPA has given Annie's a grant to build an animal care and volunteer center.

Dogster's Spay/Neuter Fund

Dogster's Spay/Neuter Fund has been providing discounted surgeries for dogs and cats in La Plata County Colorado since 1999. The Foundation for Protection of Animals is proud to support this organization as they work to end the suffering of homeless pets.

Bear Smart Durango

Bear Smart Durango educates people in La Plata County about sharing their environment with their ursine neighbors. The FPA has granted Bear Smart with funds for outreach and the purchase of a laptop computer.

Eagle Valley Humane Society

The FPA is proud to support the Eagle Valley Humane Society in Eagle, Colorado, with a grant toward their Pen Pals program. Inmates from the county jail are matched up with shelter dogs and put through a rigorous training program. The dogs learn obedience and manners and the inmates learn compassion and new skills. Adopters get a trained, well-behaved dog. Everybody wins! Please click the above link for information on EVHS' adoptable animals.

Emancipet

Emancipet, based in Austin, Texas, has been providing free, or low-cost sterilization for dogs and cats since 1999. The FPA has given Emancipet a grant for surgical supplies enabling them to continue preventing the potential births and unnecessary deaths of thousands of pets.

Green Chimneys

Green Chimneys in New York State uses their wildlife rehabilitation program to help at-risk kids. The program teaches children to deal with emotional issues and learn skills and compassion through caring for injured wildlife. A grant to assist in this worthwhile endeavor has been awarded by the FPA.
