Friends of Marshall Animals (FOMA) was formed in 2012 as a response to the growing awareness of problems at the old Marshall Animal Shelter. We became a federally tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in June, 2018. After incorporating, FOMA raised half of the money needed to build the new Marshall Pet Adoption Center – which opened in the summer of 2021. Today our board members, along with many volunteers and supporters, are working towards the goal of making Marshall a sustainable low-kill community, where every healthy adoptable finds a home.
MARSHALL, Texas (KETK) – Friends of Marshall Animals has officially joined KETK’s Clear the Shelters 2023!
In August 2021, Marshall went from having the oldest animal shelter in the state to having the newest, according to FOMA. They were formed in 2012 and became an official nonprofit in 2018.
FOMA is continuing their robust fostering program, sponsoring numerous fundraising events and coordinating public adoption opportunities. They also work with the City of Marshall to establish training programs, spay/neuter clinics, and community outreach programs.
