Friends of the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter raises funds and supports the shelter in Buffalo.

Friends of the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter is a volunteer-driven organization that raises funds and provides financial support to the city's animal shelter in Buffalo. The group focuses on critical and preventive veterinary care, subsidized adoption rates for senior and special needs animals, and training for shelter dogs in need. Volunteers can contribute through pet foster care, hosting pet food drives, collecting collars and leashes, or serving as dog walkers and cat socializers. These efforts help improve the lives of animals awaiting adoption and support the shelter's operations. The organization operates within the Western New York community, connecting volunteers with hands-on opportunities to assist animals directly. By funding medical care and behavioral training, the group addresses key barriers to adoption for vulnerable animals. Volunteer roles range from short-term supply drives to ongoing fostering and animal interaction, allowing flexible participation. The shelter benefits from both financial contributions and volunteer labor, creating a comprehensive support system for homeless pets in the Buffalo area.
