It's  official! The merger of Friends of  County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) and Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) is  complete! After more than ten (10) months, all the legal documents have been  approved by the Attorney General's office and the Secretary of State. We  couldn't be more thrilled!
Thank  you for your patience. We're sorry that we couldn't share the details of this  merger with you sooner, but we needed to wait for the official seal of  approval.
Here  are the details:    
Why did FOCAS merge  with RCHS?
* When  FOCAS was formed in 1986, it was the first (and only) animal rescue  organization to work exclusively with San Diego County's three shelters. During  the next 25 years, FOCAS found homes for more than 8,000 shelter dogs and cats.
* Today, there are approximately 160  animal rescue groups in San Diego County that are following the FOCAS example  and helping pets from the County shelters find homes. 
Why did FOCAS choose to merge with RCHS? 
Former FOCAS President Nancy Heitel says, “FOCAS and RCHS share the same values and mission.  That's why this merger is a natural fit for both of us; and it's definitely a  'win-win' situation for the animals of San Diego County. The work of FOCAS will  continue; and, under the banner of Rancho Coastal Humane Society, we will have  the ability to help even more animals.”
Why did RCHS welcome  FOCAS under its umbrella?
RCHS  has been in operation for more than 50 years, conducting the same work as FOCAS  – taking animals from the shelters of San Diego County and finding them  permanent, loving homes. RCHS President Jim Silveira, states, “This merger is a  continuation of our combined vision, allowing us to expand our reach to assist  more animals. We call this branch of RCHS the FOCAS Adoption Program.”
Go  to the RCHS website at www.sdpets.org, scroll down to  “Programs” and click on “FOCAS” for an explanation of the merger. In addition,  when you “Search for Pets,” you'll see many dogs, cats and rabbits with the  FOCAS logo next to their name. The logo means that this animal was taken from  one of our animal shelters in San Diego County.
