My story

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

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

This beautiful girl was adopted from us six months ago, and has done beautifully in her new home, with one exception: she is not liked by one of the other dogs in the home, and it has led to constant friction. Because the other dog was there first, Luna is the one who needs to be rehomed, and we want to help her mom with this as quickly as we can. Right now management is working, but Luna is separated from the other dogs for everyone’s safety, and it’s not working well as a long-term project. We understand that anytime there are two female dogs with similar dynamic and holier-than-thou attitudes in the same home, there are often issues and we see no need for owners to push through it if there are other options. We’re asking for a kind comments only, and asking you to share our posts. (As a foster mom, I have been in that situation before and it is rough. As much as we want to work through it, it’s much better for the dog to be rehomed and let someone else love our baby as much as we did.)
Here’s what we can tell you about Luna: she is 43 pounds, three and a half years old, remarkably well adjusted, house trained, loves to watch TV, plays nicely with other dogs when they will let her, and enjoy long hikes with her mom. No cats, please. She is crate trained, loves to go riding, and is all around easy and good natured. Does she sound like she might be a good match for you? She is currently still with her mom, but we would like to get applications for her now so we can help her mom make a good match.

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.
