Excelsior Springs Friends of Animals or ESFOA, was founded in 2006 by a group of concerned citizens. 

We hoped to reduce the number of pets ' Put to sleep' at the local animal shelter.   

Since then we have rescued and rehomed hundreds of pets and helped countless others.   

ESFOA rescued pets are housed with pre-screened and supervised pet foster homes. 

We are licensed with the Missouri Department of Agriculture.

We are a  501(c) 3 charitable organization.

Our annual Dog Retreat at The Elms fundraiser is a popular event with pets and owners  

We welcome new volunteers and foster familes.
