Sammies Friends
The mission of Sammie's Friends is to provide medical care for the animals at the Nevada County Animal Shelter (Grass Valley, Calif.), making them adoptable, and to support other disadvantaged animals in Nevada County that without help would otherwise be euthanized to end their suffering.
Animals often come to the shelter because they are strays and have been abandoned by people who should have cared for them. Many of these animals have medical problems. In 2013, Sammie's Friends paid for medical care for more than 3,000 animals, spending more than $320,000 for their care.
