Profile

The Feral Dogs of Avondale Mill (FDOAM) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in June 2017. The FDOAM is comprised of a dedicated group of volunteers that assists the homeless dogs and cats of Sylacauga, AL and the city-managed Sylacauga Animal Shelter. Our mission is "To provide care, shelter and new homes to animals in need, and to prevent overpopulation and unwanted animals by promoting spaying and neutering." We pull 1,000+ animals each year from the animal shelter, provide them with much needed veterinarian care, and foster and transport these dogs and cats to carefully-vetted out-of-state rescues so that they may have a chance for a loving home through the rescues we secure for them. Our donations are used predominately for heartworm treatments, vet bills for sick or injured animals and spay/neuter surgeries.
