Our Mission
FLOC
is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance the protection and well-being
of all
companion animals in Western New York through community interaction and outreach.
FLOC’s four main goals are
to:
 |
promote interest in, and
advance and disseminate to the public-at-large, information regarding
responsible pet |
adoption, appropriate pet care, and other animal welfare issues;
|
|
identify, and disseminate to
the public, information about those community resources that will enable all
pet owners to |
commit to and plan for the life-long care of their companion
animals;
|
|
promote a collaborative
effort among animal rescue and shelter groups in addressing the plight of
homeless strays and |
abandoned companion animals and putting an end to the
killing of animals in shelters; and
|
|
raise public
awareness about the missions, services, and needs of animal rescue, shelter,
and welfare groups in the |
Western New York area.
About FLOC
FLOC is an all volunteer-run organization. Our Board of Directors consists of
three people who are passionate about helping all potential and current pet
owners provide a lifetime of care for their companion animals so that these
animals never get surrendered to shelters, euthanized, or end up on the street
as strays.
Every year thousands of
companion animals are killed in overcrowded shelters after being lost,
abandoned, or surrendered by their owners. In 2007, in Erie County New York,
just one shelter alone took in 13,830 cats and dogs. Of those, 5506 were euthanized, 2224 at the
request of the owner or guardian. Through its programs, FLOC encourages
potential pet owners to adopt responsibly and provides practical information
that will help all pet owners commit to and plan
for the life-long care of their
companion animals.
FLOC’s
vision is to see:
-
that all pets are
adopted responsibly;
-
that all pet
owners commit to and plan for the life-long care of their companion animals;
and
-
a collaborative
effort by all animal welfare, rescue, and shelter groups to end animal
euthanasia due to overcrowded
shelters or owner request.
FLOC has developed
and implemented two initiatives to achieve its mission, the
Keep Each and Every Pet (K.E.E.P.) Program and
the
Critter Events Program, both of which are described in the 'Programs' section of this
website.
