About Friends of Cumberland County Animal Control
Friends of Cumberland County Animal Control serves as a liaison between the county's public animal shelter (aka "pound") and the public. We network homeless pets in the shelter to facilitate adoption and transfer to rescues. We attend adoption events, and we spay and neuter as many shelter pets as possible prior to adoption.
We started this group in January 2014. The euthanasia rate went from 54% in 2013 to 19% in 2014. We have taken two dogs and five kittens into foster in 2015 to avoid their euthanasia. FOCCAC is continuing to grow itself, and our networking the animals of Cumberland County Animal Control is saving lives.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
