Friends of JAS joined the 4th annual Tumwater Dog Days at Pioneer Park, where volunteers shared information about Joint Animal Services, welcomed more than 30 new FoJAS members, and enjoyed a very warm afternoon with plenty of four-legged helpers. Our canine volunteers may have preferred the splash pad and play zones to booth duty, but they were excellent ambassadors!

Friends of JAS will be attending Paws 4 A Cause on May 2, 2026, at Heritage Park in Olympia! Join us for a meaningful day supporting cancer research for people and pets—we’d love to see you there. 🐾

Stop by the Feline Friends Holiday Bazaar on Saturday 12/13/25. We will see you there!

On September 19th, volunteer extraordinaire Janine turned her garage into a fundraiser for Friends of JAS—showing how one great idea can make a big difference for animals in our community.

Friends of JAS returned to the Capital Lakefair Parade for our second year of celebrating shelter pets! Our cheerful float featured the many types of animals available for adoption through Joint Animal Services — and even though the pets were stuffed this year, the cheers and smiles from the crowd were very real.

Friends of JAS was proud to take part in Paws 4 A Cause on May 3 at Heritage Park. We had a booth, met wonderful community members, and walked alongside our pups to support the fight against cancer in people and pets. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

Our first-ever parade float was a hit at the Capital Lakefair Grand Parade — a joyful day of wagging tails, smiling faces, and community pride!
