My story

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

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

UPDATE: Vixen is a gentle soul with a heart of gold. Her sweetness is as vast as an ocean, enveloping everyone she meets with warmth and affection. She's a friend to all, dogs, cats, and kids alike, making her the perfect family companion. Vixen's manners are impeccable, with her housetraining and cratetraining making her an easy fit into any home. Having been fostered, she's well-adjusted and ready to bring her tender spirit into your life. Though she's gentle, she loves being active and jumping the jumps in her backyard then coming in and sleeping on the back of the sofa like a cat. She's ready to share her love and companionship with a forever family who will cherish her as much as she will them.

Vixen spent her formative years at the shelter, but is now in a foster home, and is proving herself to be a lovely houseguest. She defers to the other ladies of the household who really show their bossiness over her, and she rolls with the slight corrections they give occasionally. She is extremely happy to have a large yard, and access to a doggy door where she can come and go as she pleases, and not at the whim of a volunteer dog walker. She is housetrained, and also crates easily (could that be her hound "dog box" background?) She does not chase the cats in the household, which is truly amazing! We don't have any small children to expose her to, but feel she would adore them, but may be a little enthusiastic initially. Check her out! She is not at the shelter, so we will need an application to send to her foster family to establish a visit time.

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.

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.
