GOOD DOGS GO SHOPPING

The latest collaboration between FAAS and Thrifty Kitty is Pup's Day Out.  Each week some lucky pup gets to go to The Thrifty Kitty with a FAAS escort to show off their good manners.  Designed to showcase adoptable animals, this social media program shines a light on the many great fur-kids looking for their forever family.  Many thanks to the FAAS staff and volunteers who give interim love and socialization experiences to the dogs in their care.  And who can pass up a furry companion who never judges your purchases.  


For information on adopting a companion, contact Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter.  

How to Adopt

SHOP FOR TREASURES & SHOP FOR GOOD

Browse new and gently used clothes, fashion accessories, jewelry, housewares, pet items, framed art, home décor, collectibles, gifts, and other thoughtfully curated treasures. You'll get the feel of boutique shopping, with the added benefit of knowing your purchase helps care for animals and gives found treasures an extended life.  


New items come in every day, and go out just about as fast.  We don't hold items or sell on line, so if you see something -- buy it!  You'll find great prices, and a friendly staff.  

Of course, we're pet friendly, so stop by with your companion and become a part of our thrifting community.  Treats for pets; treasures for their pals.
