Message from the President

Dear Friends of FOMAR,

Last year was a very busy year for Rebecca. She wound up taking in a number of severely injured dogs, which created significant vet bills. Thus our expense total was much higher than the previous year. However, we were lucky to have some very generous donors who contributed significantly to those costs.

Rebecca has also streamlined her coordination with San Pablo Etla, which will make setting up sterilization clinics much easier. We have already had one this year (2024), which succeed in sterilizing and vaccinating a total of 40 dogs and cats. She and Melinda Hansen, Board Member and faithful volunteer, ran the clinic. We look forward to several more this year. Overall, our sterilizations last year increased by almost 100% and the vaccinations by about 30%. We look forward to even better numbers this year.

A big thank you to everyone who donated last year. We look forward to hearing from you again this year! Visit www.fomanimalrescue.org and donate!

Message from the Executive Director

Dear Supporters, Volunteers, and Animal Lovers,

As we near the end of another year at our beloved animal rescue, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the impact we have made together. It has been a year filled with challenges, triumphs, and countless heartwarming moments that remind us why we do what we do.

Thanks to your unwavering support, our rescue has been able to save and improve the lives of so many furry friends in need. From the moment a scared and neglected animal enters our doors to the day they find their forever homes, each one of you plays a crucial role in their journey to a better life.

Our volunteers have dedicated countless hours to caring for, socializing, and training our animals. Your compassion and dedication shine through in everything you do, and we are endlessly grateful for your selfless efforts.

To our supporters and donors, your generosity has been the cornerstone of our success. Your donations, big or small, have allowed us to provide medical care, food, shelter, and love to animals who have nowhere else to turn. Your belief in our mission keeps us going, no matter the challenges we face.

As we look back on the year, we celebrate the countless tails wagging, purrs vibrating, and joyful reunions that have been made possible because of you. Every adoption, every successful rehabilitation, and every saved life is a testament to the power of kindness and compassion.

As we prepare for the new year ahead, let us carry forward the spirit of hope, resilience, and love that defines our rescue. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of animals in need, one happy ending at a time.

Thank you for being a part of our rescue family. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you in the years to come.

With deepest gratitude,

Rebecca Durden Raab
Executive Director
