Introducing a new way to help FOCCAS save animals - Paw Pals.
FOCCAS has many animals in our care, and some are here permanently, by no fault of their own. These pets may be older, have medical or behavioral challenges, or have already stayed with us longer than average, and for some, we are their permanent home. We have developed a program, Paw Pals, designed to defray the cost of care for our long-term residents.
With a $20 monthly gift or a one-time $240 donation, you can sponsor a pet and help cover their care costs. Your sponsorship provides essential resources, including medical treatment, preventive medications, food, and enrichment. It's a wonderful way to be a champion for a pet who needs a little extra love while at the rescue.
How Paw Pals Works
FOCCAS is a fully volunteer-staffed animal rescue, based in Crossville, TN, that relies on adoption fees, donations, and local fundraisers for income.
Last year, the organization rescued 259 dogs/puppies and 95 cats/kittens and placed 235 dogs/puppies and 58 cats/kittens into new homes. Our mission is to inspire our community to cultivate the values of kind, compassionate, responsible, and humane care of the county's animals, including stray, feral, and owned, through education and community-based programs, and to prevent animal cruelty wherever we find it.

Figaro came to us in Sept of 2021. Shortly after he was diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) CH in cats, commonly known as "wobbly cat syndrome," is a non-progressive, non-contagious neurological condition caused by the underdevelopment of the cerebellum. This part of the brain controls fine motor skills, balance, and coordination.

I’m a happy dog who loves people more than anything else in the world. I’m a 6 year old mix, with a 22” collar and am very big and strong. The Vet said I weigh 73 pounds. Don’t let that scare you because I am just a mushy ball of love. I like to let everyone know how happy I am to see them by twirling around and wagging my tail as fast
