My story

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

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

Sarah, mom to seven, has declared being a beloved house dog beats the life of an abandoned hunting dog, and has claimed her place as a couch-potato-foster-dog!  Sarah was found in the Long Island area of our county several weeks ago, caring for one 
pup, but people in the area reported they had seen several more pups in the days before Sarah was picked up. everyone feared the worst when no puppies were reported—that is, until that special day when a family member from out of the area let us know that the puppies have been found in the same area where Sarah was living and were safe and warm and being cared for! 

Huge thanks to the citizen who found the puppies, kept them warm under a heat lamp, and cared for them until a foster family was able to take them in through FOAC! sometimes we fail to acknowledge those people behind the scenes who makes such a difference in the lives of the pets around us. We want to make sure he has acknowledged here! Thank you for saving the life of Sarah, and thank you for saving seven puppies. SARAH will be looking for a home now, as her puppies have adoptive homes waiting for them this weekend.

At 10 years old, it is amazing that this dog looks as good as she does, but we owe it all to her foster mom for pulling her through because it has not been an easy transition going from independent living to house dog  living with several other adult dogs and humans.

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.

Adoption application

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.
