Animal Welfare Foster Program

Animal rescue in Blacksburg, VA

Who We Are


The Animal Welfare Foster Program is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal rescue run by volunteer veterinary students in Blacksburg, Virginia. We coordinate and provide foster homes for animals until they are adopted into loving, permanent homes. During this time, they receive the appropriate healthcare (both routine preventative care and care for any medical conditions) and learn house manners so that they will become healthy, happy pets. The Animal Welfare Foster Program does not represent the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.

Please visit our website at www.awf.petfinder.com for photos and descriptions of our adoptable pets!!
