My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Laney has been with us for several months in foster care, and I don’t think we realized just how much activity she has left in her. She is an older dog, although we didn’t realize that at first. We think she’s probably closer to 10 or 11 years old than four or five that we thought originally. her teeth are worn down and not from trying to break through a kennel, but just from being a normal dog eating stuff. She is a smaller dog, about 45 pounds, and she would dearly love to have a place where she could run her heart out, and then come back and rest. That’s the dream of every hound, isn’t it? Laney is temporarily boarding in the very secure Alta Vista Animal Hospital because she made a great escape from her foster home when her foster mom stepped away.

We love Laney because she is so good with other dogs, and we would love to share her with you! Apply to adopt by going to our website. The link will be in the comments.

Sweetness rolled up in a hound body, with licks and love to spare! Hounds that come to us looking rough are usually the most grateful ones ever, and we appreciate their consistency and devotion. Laney has not had an easy life, but is clearly enjoying life as a pet, now that she has been groomed (she was such a good client for her spa day appointment!) and has been spayed. She loves, giving appreciative face licks whenever someone is close enough to enjoy it. She will be a great companion for a family with kids.

Additional adoption info

We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.

Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.

Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.

Go meet their pets

FOAC vaccinates and deworms the dogs and cats at the Campbell County Shelter, which is open to the public from 12 to 5 weekdays and 11 to 4 on Saturdays. That address is 322 Dennis Riddle Drive, Rustburg, VA (behind Yellow Branch Elementary School.)

Available by appointment for visits are the dogs and cats noted as being in "foster care." We also visit Petsmart in Lynchburg, VA, with our adoptable dogs and cats at various times.

More about this rescue

Established in 2011. FOAC filled the vacancy left by the local humane society when they ended their association with Campbell County Animal Control. FOAC became its own entity in 2012 and has grown to 300 volunteers. We work in partnership with Campbell County Animal Control, and as their guests at the shelter. We do not have our own shelter nor overhead expenses, and no paid employees.
