Friends of Animals Rice County, Inc.

Animal rescue in Sterling, KS

We started this organization because there were an incredible number of wonderful pets being impounded in Rice County without any hope of finding a new home. We are a not-for-profit charitable organization relying solely on donations and fundraisers to get the necessary care for these lovable pets to be adopted. All fundraising efforts are volunteer. No members, officers, or board members are compensated for the generous hours spent helping animals in need. More volunteers are always welcome!
