Thank you to our Special Friends
What would we do with out you?
VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers are an integral part of Francisvale. They help with many tasks which can include laundry, cleaning and administration duties. They also help showcase our pets at adoption events. The most important thing our volunteers do for us is give plenty of love and attention to all the wonderful animals at the shelter. They help keep all the animals well socialized so their transition into their forever home is an easy one. We will always be grateful for all their hard work.
ARDMORE ANIMAL HOSPITAL
The doctors and staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital have been nothing but generous and kind to our animals at the shelter. They take special measures to make sure all the animals are healthy during their stay at the shelter and when they go to their forever homes. They are always knowledgeable, patient and gentle. We couldn’t ask for better quality care.
VETERINARY SPECIALTY AND EMERGENCY SERVICES
Whenever any of Francisvale’s animals have had especially sensitive or difficult medical problems, Dr. Orsher and his staff have shown tremendous generosity in helping them make full recoveries. Some of our animals are healthy and happy in their new home because of the VSEC doctors and staff. We are truly grateful.
PROGRESSIVE DOG TRAINING
Wendy Young of Progressive Dog training has been a stellar volunteer who has worked with many of our dogs that have needed some extra attention. Her positive training methods have helped a lot of our dogs gain the skills they need to transition in to their forever homes. Wendy also provides help for adopters after they go home with their new pet. We don’t know what we would do without her!
PALS FOR LIFE
Pals for Life is a non profit organization dedicated to providing companion animal programs to children, the elderly, and mentally challenged. They have been a great supporter of Francisvale and have helped foster some of our kittens and have used our kittens, some of whom have become therapy animals. We can’t thank them enough for their generosity.
MARY HUNT DAVIS PHOTOGRAPHY
Mary has showcased our animals is such amazing ways. Her work is impeccable and the animals just practically jump off the page asking for new homes. Her generosity has been so greatly appreciated and we highly recommend her work for anyone looking for an amazing photographer.
PAW NATUREL GROOMING MOBILE SPA
Alla Sifuentes and her staff have been so kind to come to Francsivale on some Sunday’s to give the animals some much needed pampering. All the dogs look and smell wonderful after their full grooming treatment.
CANINE CLIPPERS
Ed Foy and his wonderful staff of groomers have been very generous to Francisvale by offering free grooming to some of our messier and more difficult animals. They always know how to handle them with professionalism and a gentle hand. Ed Foy has also referred many of his clients to our shelter when they are in search of a new family member. And we are happy to say we’ve made a few matches!
AVERY’S MOBILE PET GROOMING AND PET SALON
When Avery’s Mobile Pet Salon pulls into Francisvale, deserving dogs and cats happily line up for a make-over. Whether it’s to be showcased for adoption or to get gussied up for their forever homes, Taria Avery and her staff do a wonderful job making our animals look their best. Avery’s has lent time, resources and expertise to help ensure that Francisvale’s furry residents are adoption-adorable.
ELINOR DONOHUE
Elinor has volunteered her time to Francisvale by contributing her talented writing skills to the Pet of the Week pieces in the Main Line Times, Main Line Suburban Life, Delaware County News, and the News of Delaware County for Francisvale. Her descriptions highlight all the wonderful aspects of each animal posted and help to find them their forever homes.
THE SPAYED CLUB
Dr. Alexander and the staff at the Spayed Club have been so wonderful to all the Francisvale animals that go through their doors. They help keep our medical costs down by offering discounted spay and neuter procedures. Even with the high number of animals they see each day, every animal is well cared for during their stay and they come back to the shelter happy. The Spayed Club staff even takes the time to write down personal notes about each animal. It makes us feel good to know that all of the Francisvale animals are in great hands.
BALANCE HAIR SPA
The Balance Hair Spa generously supports Francisvale and the animals that are cared for. They have previously hosted a community dog wash, raffle, and silent auction where 100% of the money raised went directly to Francisvale and the S.T.A.R. shelter. They also routinely collect donations of pet supplies to benefit the cats and dogs at the shelter.*There are many more friends of Francisvale that we plan to thank in the very near future. Thank you to everyone for their generosity and support!
