Who We Are
Friends of the Little Elm Animal Shelter (FLEAS) is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of all animals in the Little Elm area, including Frisco, Hackberry, Hilltown, Oak Point, Crossroads, and Aubrey— through community programs, shelter support, and compassionate partnerships.
What We Do
At FLEAS, we believe every pet deserves love, safety, and a chance to thrive. Whether it’s a stray cat finding warmth in a forever home, a beloved dog staying with her family thanks to emergency food support, or a lost pet reunited through a free microchip—our mission is simple: to improve the lives and well-being of animals in our community.
Over the past year, FLEAS has deepened its commitment to the animals of Little Elm and surrounding towns. We’ve expanded our reach beyond the shelter walls, offering compassionate programs that keep pets with the people who love them and ensure every animal has a path to a better life.
Through our Surrender Prevention Program, we’ve helped struggling families stay together by providing emergency pet food and spay/neuter assistance—reducing shelter intakes and preventing heartbreak. We’ve sponsored free microchips to bring lost pets home and funded emergency medical care for animals in crisis.
Inside the shelter, we’ve delivered enrichment items to soothe anxious pets, created Pet of the Week campaigns to spotlight overlooked animals, offered adoption subsidies to remove financial barriers to forever homes, and supported foster and rescue placements for those needing extra care. We’ve even helped injured wildlife reach rehabilitation centers safely.
Every tail wag, every purr, every second chance is powered by people like you.
As a small, all-volunteer nonprofit, we rely entirely on the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers. Your support fuels every life we touch—whether it’s a kitten needing surgery, a senior dog waiting for adoption, or a family facing hard times but determined to keep their furry family members.
This year, we invite you to be part of something extraordinary. Your gift helps us:
- Feed hungry pets through our Emergency Pet Food Pantry
- Prevent unwanted litters with Spay & Neuter Assistance
- Reunite families with Free Microchips
- Shine a light on overlooked pets through Pet of the Week Marketing
- Make adoption possible with Pet Adoption Subsidies
- Provide urgent care via our Emergency Medical Fund
- Support healing through Foster & Rescue Partnerships
- Comfort shelter pets with Enrichment Supplies
- Protect wildlife with Transport to Rehabilitation Centers

Mission
Our mission is to improve the lives and well-being of Little Elm's animals by supporting shelter pets, helping families keep the pets they love, and promoting responsible pet ownership. Through our Shelter Surrender Prevention Program, we offer a Pet Food Pantry and free spay/neuter vouchers, and we partner with rescue groups, local businesses, and food banks to get animals into safe homes and keep them out of the shelter.

Equity Statement
At Friends of the Little Elm Animal Shelter (FLEAS), we believe every family deserves the opportunity to care for their pets, regardless of income, background, or circumstance. Through programs like free microchipping, low-cost spay/neuter, and our Emergency Pet Food Pantry, we focus on removing barriers to pet ownership in underserved communities. Our mission is rooted in equity, dignity, and compassion—because no one should have to surrender a beloved pet due to lack of resources.
