History

In July 2000, volunteer dog-walker Bill Hamilton, Jane Tobin, and a small group of volunteers founded Friends of SFACC to raise funds for vital programs that are not covered by the City budget, which provides basic care for the animals and pet-related services for humans. The San Francisco Department of Animal Care & Control competes for limited city revenues with approximately 75 other municipal agencies. SFACC does not include a development or marketing department so Friends of SFACC got to work. Building on an initial gift of $5,000, Friends has grown into a strong organization and continues to raise funds to support a number of critical programs.
