Animal Adoption Foundation

The Animal Adoption Foundation is a non-profit no-kill shelter for dogs and cats that have been abused or abandoned. AAF provides a safe and humane environment for dogs and cats that are waiting to be adopted. Our caring volunteers and generous, loving donors enable us to provide a safe and happy haven for our special friends. The shelter currently houses approximately 85 cats and dogs.

The Animal Adoption Foundation envisions a community where all animals are treated humanely, all pets live in responsible, caring homes and euthanasia is no longer a means of pet population control.
