Established in 2004, Friends of Del Rio Animals (FDRA) is the first 501(c)3 tax exempt animal rescue organization in the history of Del Rio, Texas. Our ultimate goal was to build a no-kill animal shelter for which we would try to raise money through donations and grant writing, however the current economic situation does not make it feasible at this time. In the meantime we are working to educate folks about the importance of spay/neuter, and conducting fundraisers/taking donations so that we may hold two low-cost spay/neuter clinics per year, and to fund our ongoing Trap, Neuter, Release, feral cat program. Our goal at this point and time is to make Del Rio a "No More Homeless Pets" community through spay/neuter assistance.  
NEW FDRA now has a Pet Food Bank called Paws on Wheels. It is designed to assist those in need of help with feeding their pets. This is not a permanent source of food for pets, only temporary assistance. Please read these conditions before applying. Conditions
Our next PAWS distribution will be on December 16, 2017 at an Off-Site location.
It will be held at 9 am at the new PETSENSE store on 2413 Veterans Blvd near Chilis Restaurant. We look forward to this event.  See the MapQuest Map at the bottom of this page.
