Thank you The Grey Muzzle Organization for empowering the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor and our partners, through your grant funding, to do this lifesaving work.Meet Edith, a tiny traveler with a big heart! ✈️🐾 From wandering the roads of South Carolina to finding love in the Pacific Northwest, this 10-year-old Shih Tzu’s journey was anything but ordinary. Rescued from a high-risk shelter by Project Freedom Ride, Edith made her way to the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor, where she received the medical care she desperately needed with the help of a Grey Muzzle grant.
With treatment to relieve corneal ulcers, painful dental disease, and dermatitis plus a loving foster home to help her heal, Edith’s spirit never wavered. Her road was long and winding, but it led right where she was meant to be—in the arms of a family who adores her.
Thanks to our grant partners and supporters, senior dogs like Edith get the second chances they need to live their best lives. Because of you, happy endings like hers are possible! ✨ ... See MoreSee Less

Happy World Spay Day! 🐾❤️
Today, we celebrate the importance of spaying and neutering our pets to help control the animal population and reduce the number of homeless animals. By taking this simple step, we can ensure a healthier future for our furry friends and our communities.
Let’s spread the word and encourage responsible pet ownership. APS-FH is happy to provide a spay/neuter clinic to help increase community access to veterinary care. ❤️ Please visit our website or call for more information.
Consider a donation to our month long Spay and Neuter campaign! We are so close to reaching our donation goal, thank you to everyone who has been so generous! Your donation will help us offer our low-cost clinics and help our island pets thrive.

If you have the time & are so inclined, you might consider volunteering at the Shelter (there are several options) or fostering a dog/cat (sometimes pets arrive who need fostering when no one is available). It's a well-run, compassionate group.with excellent leadership & staff. The only Shelter where i dont feel bad coming/going. If you are a senior, please look into their special program for seniors adopting a senior animal - i understand you will have backup services for that animal from the Shelter, & they understand why that's important for the animal & you too. 🐾A little love goes a long way🐾
I love seeing Lady Bug being taken such great care of.
