FOHA is the enduring gold standard in quality for no-kill rescues, saving and improving the lives of homeless cats and dogs. We strive to:
Bring an end to the unnecessary killing of companion animals
Provide a safe haven for abused and abandoned animals
Provide food, shelter, medical care, rehabilitation, and compassion to homeless animals
Find permanent, loving homes for the animals in our care
And, most importantly, bring about a time when there will be no more homeless pets and every dog and cat can be guaranteed a loving home
