My story

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

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

We are so happy that Devanna and her sister Willow can be in a foster home together while they wait for someone to give them a forever home. They were in a loving home for many years before they came to us, and that is what we want for them again. The girls are getting over an upper respiratory infection, and it really took them down. Their new Foster Mom says they are delightful! They are willing to be petted, enjoy grooming, and are quite happy to be doted upon in her house.

Eight-year-old Willow and her house companion Davanna were adopted from FOAC several years ago, and we were surprised to find they had been surrendered to a neighboring open admission shelter rather than returned to FOAC. We were happy to get them back into our care and we are taking care of them so they will be able to find homes. Willow needed a quick groom after arrival because she was matted around her rear end and around her belly. (We have high praise for the vet assistants at Altavista Veterinary Hospital who were able to remove mats and take care of her without sedation.) it is always hard for senior cats to be brought into a shelter where they are put into a 2 x 2 cage and can’t move, and we hope that we can soon allow Davanna to get out and move around more easily, and reunite with her sister. Davanna would love to have a home where she can go and live out the rest of her years. She just needs to be updated with a rabies vaccine, and is FelvFiv  negative.

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.

Adoption application

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.
