She’s no one trick pony. Handi Tandi has needed a real home for over 5 years. Came in as a kitten off the streets with a broken leg, we fixed her all up.
She can be sweet and be a pistol, needs an adult home that lets her do her thing safely inside. Has gotten along with some cats, may do best as an only cat or a cat friendly dog.
If you want to know more about Tandi, message this page and we’ll get you to the right person. She’s paid her dues and deserves to blossom in a real home.

MeeU is the hospice nurse for the dogs who are old and in this case with Kynzee old and she has cancer.
MeeU has always gravitated towards dogs over cats or people.
Kynzee is the Directors dog they adopted from Agape Fosters over 10 years ago when she came in to the org after picked up stray by AC.
MeeU chooses a dog and then sticks to them like glue, following them everywhere and when they become needing hospice care she’s right with them until shortly before they pass, she seems to know it’s coming and starts to detach.
MeeU who’s also a senior came to Agape Fosters after her owner was moving from the Country and MeeU was a semi tame barn cat that she helped for years and wanted her safe.
Animals bond, feel fear and pain and loss. Cats are not useless and a nuisance, they bring a lot of comfort and companionship.
If humans would do their part and spay and neuter, it would help communities and cats as a whole. Don’t harm and be cruel to cats, just like you, they have a right to be here too.
Spay and Neuter!!
Buttons
Buttons who’s been with us about 9 years is getting some mental enrichment fishing out cat treats. She loves and is social with those she knows, is quite shy with strangers. She feels like she’s the Queen of the cat room and that this is a safe place and home.
Alumni Frida, of course she’s the Giant one, that was our forte for over 30 years. We need more Rescues to take in large and Giant breeds they’re turned away often in favor of small dogs and puppies. We are concerned for the ones needing spots as we don’t take dogs in anymore which is concerning for the larger dogs. Please consider adopting a 50lb-150lb dog, they need love too.
Frida is a Dane/Saint by a backyard breeder, we had Fridas 1/2 sister Bridget too, both lived in squalor and then their elderly owner died. The irresponsible breeder sold puppies to this man, they were only 1 and 3 years old when rescued. Responsible Breeders and Rescues/Shelters match up pets with people by having a criteria.
This time Frida was matched up with a home that fits her needs and longevity.
“We have finally won Frida over 100%! She loves the suburb life and playing with other dogs. She’s the most complimented dog.
Extremely mannered naturally and gorgeous. She has a beautiful coat and color.”
Yoda would sure love a home of her own. Lived in a hoarder house and has waited for over 2 years. Interested? Message the page.

Putting this much patience, time and love ❤️ into your dogs enrichment and life is a beautiful sight to see. Even for those senior dogs like Hank. Listen to Typo’s mom share her joy and love for her dog at the end. In all the cruelty, irresponsibility, neglect and loneliness we see with pets and foster animals, this is a nice change.
Buttons
8 year old Buttons, a sanctuary kitty here loves to spend her bedtime hours getting out toys and carrying them around. She then will share all about it at breakfast. She must put on quite a show for the other kitties trying to sleep.
She’s very shy with strangers but loves the Director and most volunteers, otherwise she hides.
MeeU
MeeU came to us years ago, a semi wild barn kitty in her previous setting. Her caretaker was moving out of the Country and wanted her to be as safe as possible. After her initial lock in and slowly introducing her to the sights and sounds at AF and property she has acclimated. She likes other animals but not people so much which made her a sanctuary pet versus adoption. She’s a senior now and this is home, she’s more an office cat now along with her 2 sanctuary cat friends and the sweet senior dog rescued and adopted by the family. She’s a character and looks far younger than her 13 or so years.
Merci’
Merciʼ has been with us 8 years. She had been living in a pen and was going to be used as a breeder with a dog that outweighed her by at least 50lbs. Fortunately that never happened.
She had behavior issues from lack of socialization and training when she came and we’ve work with her on those. She also likes to eat things she shouldn't which resulted in 2 expensive stomach surgeries in 5 years. In the last couple years she’s shown she can be trusted to be loose in Clyde’s House and enjoy the couches. All of the above have made her very hard to place in an appropriate home and she’s had few inquiries.
She must’ve been a poop scoop in her previous life as she loves poop and likes to show us where it is. She’s slowed up but still has some speed and a spring in her step. You could say she’s a sanctuary pet here but if the right home came along we would always do what’s best for any of those who’ve or who live here.
Tikky
Tikky is an adult cat that needs temporary housing while his owner finishes her time in n treatment. It would be for approx 30 days. Right now he he’s been emergency held in a cold basement and he’s not happy. He doesn’t like the resident cats.
He is 4 paw declawed, can be grumpy but is an easy keeper. Needs a lower stress room or home to stay safe in (not get loose) until his owner can retrieve him. Poor guy is confused and sad. Can you help Tikky temporarily? Please be committed, owner said she’ll donate to his care.

It’s a death trap outside for animals with this heat and humidity.
This dog was only out about 5 mins at 90 degrees heat index. Keep them safe, keep them home. No walks, don’t have them inthe car, no letting out unattended if you value their life. A pet suffering without Vet Care is against the law, either Animal Control or local Law Enforcement is to enforce the laws on animal welfare. Call and if nothing gets done call the media to cover it. Please share your pets staying cool or ones you’re worried are in danger. You can message us to share anonymously.
We see you Diesel and know you’ve suffered at the hands you were returned to. We hope if you’re or any highly neglected or suffering pet is ever rescued again by Good Samaritans that they disappear into a loving home never to be heard from again.
Grundy County Sheriff’s Dept failed you and the citizens. They cannot be trusted to follow animal neglect and cruelty cases. Anyone who hands any animal over to this woman or the one in Reinbeck who kept dogs trapped in a filthy house for years is part of the cruelty and that includes paid to fail public servants who have an oath to follow the law.
The citizens did their part
The Veterinarian office did their part
This page did their part
This Org has gone above and beyond to help animals only to hit a brick wall with those paid to handle animal welfare issues in this County.
And no one is held accountable. The horrible owners or LE.
We try not to get so disgusted but after decades of this, it’s gotten beyond disheartening and disgusting, remaining silent has changed nothing. Speak up louder then you would if you got poor service at a restaurant, hotel, postal service, grocery store, animal welfare is far more important.
There’s always a Fun Hater in the bunch 😾
