Friends of the Animal Community (FOAC) is a small group of dedicated, animal loving volunteers in Tuolumne County who help our local animal shelter and community. FOAC is a 501c3 non profit. Since our formation in 2001 we have helped to re-home over 1000 dogs and 400 cats. Our primary focus is to help the animals in our local shelter that are often overlooked, the senior animals, and those requiring expensive surgeries or needing special medical care.

COURTESY POST

This is Gnar! He was found several months ago during wildfires by a Forest Service employee who can’t keep him. He is about 1 year old neutered shepherd mix. He is the sweetest boy, always wants to be by your side and cuddle. He is great with other dogs, always wants to play and be active. He needs a whole lot of room to get that energy out. He does need training still and someone who can work with him, when training he will be the best boy! He hasn’t been around children but I’d imagine he’d be great!
He is okay with cats, but chickens he will chase. He is honestly the sweetest boy who wants nothing but love. He would make a great companion from someone or even an amazing police dog!

Kayla ~ 3year old, 45lb female
“Potcake” dog from the Island of Turks and Caicos. She was adopted by tourists and moved to Buffalo NY, then Tracey California during the pandemic. Her owners brought home another dog and wound up surrendering her…
She is sweet, gentle, and a bit skittish, and all around good dog.
Seems more afraid of cats than anything.
Shes has had a lot of changes through out her life.
She needs stability, calmness, and love…
Please give Kayla a chance.

Animal Control is being forced to euthanize a lot of dogs puppies cats & kittens.
Foac is to the brim, however if we have donations come in specially for boarding we can take more. These are very very difficult times.
I’m so extremely grateful for the communities financial help!
Every time we ask, we can board dogs for $20 a day.
Then we look for Foster’s or permanent adopters..
If you would like to help the situation please donate

If you have a vehicle that is dependable and you are not using, please consider donating it to Foac.

Can someone please take me home??
My foster is moving and cannot take me with… I will be going back to boarding. 💔
I’m too good of a girl to be sitting in a kennel day in and day out!
I’m good with other pets, kids, and I’m potty trained.
Also, I heard this weekend there is discounted adoption fees… maybe I will get really lucky. 💖
Please let my friends know if you can take me either way! 🐾🐾

DONNER
Young male that appears to be a Pointer/Hound mix.
He's intimidated by the world and doesn't willingly want to go outside yet, BUT in 2 weeks he's coming along amazingly. He is now excited to go on walks around the kennel and eager to explore. He enjoys the kennel's playroom and is very social with other dogs ... No issues seen at all. He likes love but is a bit aloof. I think he'll go far with a steady hand who can build trust. No aggression and not difficult to handle, either.

Hi it’s me Bo, the one tossed out of a vehicle like trash…
I have been at the kennel for so long. Really hoping someone sees me and can bring me(a big baby) in to learn manners. I’m VERY playful and easily excited but I don’t get out much so can you blame me? Im fairly short and not huge but sturdy... Maybe 45 lbs. i LOVE CHASING BALLS and happily release my pent up energy in the kennel's playroom. I also like Tug toys. A good foster or adopter for me would be experienced and willing to work with my stubbornness, sorry no one has ever thaught me anything. But I’m a true love.

This Saturday September 21st at Dusty's Den from 10 am to 2 pm.

LOOK!! 🤗🤗
Keanu made a friend!
All the volunteers have been trying to give him as much exercise and breaks from the kennel as possible and seems to be helping…
Imagine how he can thrive in a home…

KEANU NEEDS YOU.
It is the 1 year anniversary of Keanu being surrendered.
He was surrendered simply for being too big for the landlords liking..
and because of that he is missing out on real life!
He went to the PUPP program and was too overwhelmed.
He is highly stressed.
Someone please give him a chance. Whether just fostering or even potentially adopting eventually.
When his owners dropped him off they said he was good with dogs, as far as we’ve seen he can be a bit selective, possibly due to being constantly overstimulated.
Fine with kids but may be a little too hyper for little ones.
Located in Sonora ca.
