Their adoption process
Dear Potential Adopters, We appreciate that you are interested in one or more of our dogs or cats for adoption. Here is a list of things that should help us answer you in a more timely manner.
1. When you apply please always use the same email address. If we need to look something up later and you used a different email we are often not able to find it.
2. Adopt a Pet prompts you to send us an inquiry. This delays our response. Why:
a. Our biographies are always very detailed. Therefore sending an inquiry asking us to repeat what it says in the biography causes a lot more work and delays our response.
b. We are a small non-profit and do not always have the help to answer as many inquiries as we get.
c. If you just click the link near the bottom of their bio you can fill out an application from www.animalfriendsconnect.org which we will respond to.
We are closed on Sundays unless you make prior arrangements and schedule an appointment.
Adoption Fees:
Dogs start at $400
Cats start at $140

More about this rescue
AFCHS is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) charitable organization serving San Joaquin County & the surrounding areas of the greater San Joaquin.
Our mission is to promote the human-animal bond and the humane treatment of animals through public education and pet adoptions.
"Not Just an Adoption - a Perfect Match"
Animal Friends Connection began in 1990 as an educational, rescue and adoption agency. In January 2000 we opened a Cat Shelter/Sanctuary and in 2004 started Sheltering dogs too. Since that time we have added dogs kennels and a nice exercise yard. Our Shelter currently houses up to 40 cats and 35 dogs at any given time. While we are primarily a volunteer organization, our Shelter would not be able to function without staff. The animals need to count on being fed twice daily and receive medical care. The public needs to be able to count on us to show them dogs or cats needing to be adopted. We are also there for those that need to re-home their pets or that find animals that need help. Many of our animals are in foster care or rescue homes. We are dedicated to providing shelter, promoting spaying and neutering to the public as well as spaying and neutering our own animals and providing medical care to those in need.
