About us
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.
