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 love our little Bo! Not only is he an adorable small size, he is amiable with other dogs, cats, and seems to love all humans he has met. Bo is housetrained  and is a non-demanding little man, happy to potty outside and then come in again until the next exciting adventure. Bo had not seen a vet before he was brought to the shelter for rehoming, so we are catching up on everything that needs to be done. He was neutered a few weeks ago, and is recovered nicely from that. at the same time we discovered Bo has a grade 4 heart murmur. although that can be a serious condition, as of now, an x-ray of his chest has shown that Beau does not have major congestion or issues with heart failure, and is taking two kinds of medicine daily to help delay serious issues with his heart. We know that many people are not going to want to adopt a little senior with known health issues—-but we hope someone will look past the issues and give this little man a chance to live several more years of happiness. apply to adopt and we will be happy to share medical files with you for you to look over.

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.
