Become A Friends Member
A Love That Keeps Beating
Friends Membership Program
Become a Friends Member of the Friends of Guilford County Animal Shelter and join a community committed to providing consistent, reliable support for the animals and programs that depend on us.
Unlike one-time gifts, membership is built on ongoing monthly, annual, or lifetime support. This steady giving creates a dependable foundation for care, enrichment, and advocacy—every single day.
How Monthly Support Makes Daily Enrichment Possible
On an average day, enrichment supports 201 dogs and 137 cats — every single day.
Monthly gifts ensure enrichment is a consistent standard of care, not an occasional extra. Dogs enjoy rotating weekly enrichment like stuffed Kongs, Benebones, pupcakes, and peanut butter frisbee pies, while cats receive daily access to toys, catnip, scratch pads, and silvervine sticks.
Membership support also funds shared enrichment—scent-based activities, calming items, Kuranda beds, walking trails, and support for the staff providing hands-on care.
Providing this level of enrichment costs $2,540 each month.
When 100 people give about $25 a month, daily enrichment for more than 330 animals is fully supported.
That’s the power of a love that keeps beating.
Becoming a Friends Member is simple and flexible. Choose the option that works best for you:
- Monthly Friends Member: $10/month or more
- Annual Friends Member: $300/year or more
- Lifetime Friends Member: One-time gift of $1,000 or more
