It has grown over the years to provide protection for and to prevent cruelty to all animals. The CNYSPCA provides shelter, care and medical attention for stray, unwanted and abused animals, with strong emphasis on placing these animals in loving, responsible homes.

About Us An impromptu group of concerned citizens met in December of ’06 to discuss the deteriorating condition of the Town of Groton Animal Control Facility and how they could improve things. A follow-up meeting was held in January of ’07 and the participants decided to form a non-profit organization whose goals would be to: • Inform Groton citizens of the need for a new facility • Get a referendum on the November ’07 ballot for bond moneys for a new structure • Provide continuing additional financial and physical support to the animal facility when needed. The organization was named the Groton Animal Foundation Inc.(GAF). GAF became incorporated in March of ’07 and in June of the same year, received its 501 (c) (3) tax exempt status. After a great deal of publicity by GAF to inform the public, Town Council and Town Representatives and in addition, a pledge from GAF to try and raise $200,000 toward the building of a new facility, a bond was placed on the ballot for $1.7 million dollars to build a new facility. The citizens of the Town of Groton approved the bond and the beautiful new facility is now in operation.

FBRN’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome French Bulldogs in need, giving them the healthy, happy lives they deserve. For nearly 25 years, we’ve helped neglected, abused, and medically fragile Frenchies across the U.S. and Canada find their second chance. From emergency surgeries to loving foster homes, our work runs on volunteer passion and donor support. As Frenchies have become the most popular breed in America, we’ve seen a sharp rise in surrenders, driven not only by irresponsible breeding but also by the growing number of owners who simply can’t afford the cost of care. With rising vet bills and economic uncertainty, more families are being forced to make heartbreaking decisions. Together, we can change their stories. With your help, we can give each dog the love, dignity, and second chance they deserve. Thank you for standing with us, and for changing lives, one Frenchie at a time.
