Their adoption process

We are a prevention-first nonprofit, which means our adoption process is built around stability and lasting placements rather than volume. Our goal is for every adopted pet to stay in their adoptive home for life, and our programs are designed to support that outcome before, during, and after placement.

Adoption steps

  1. Submit Application
    Submit an adoption application through animal-angelsfoundation.org or directly via Adopt-a-Pet.

Go meet their pets

Animal-Angels Foundation operates as a foster-based network without a public facility. All meet-and-greets are scheduled by appointment after an adoption application has been submitted and approved.
Once approved, a meet-and-greet is arranged at the animal's foster home, a neutral location such as a local park or partner facility, or one of our scheduled adoption events. The location depends on what's most comfortable for the animal and convenient for the adopter.
Upcoming public events:
Prevention Fest, Saturday July 18, 2026, Black Creek Park, Yarbrough Road, Fultondale, Alabama. Our first annual prevention-focused community event with an adoption zone alongside wellness services, education, family activities, and food. Free admission, ten AM to four PM.
Sniff and Greet adoption events are held throughout the year at varying locations across our seven-county central Alabama service area (Jefferson, Shelby, Blount, St. Clair, Walker, Bibb, and Chilton). Dates and locations are posted on animal-angelsfoundation.org and across our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok).

Monday-Friday: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Saturday: 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Sunday: Closed

More about this rescue

The animals available for adoption through AAF come from Managed Rehoming cases (where a family has decided to find a new home for their pet and AAF is helping with placement), Foster-to-Train placements (animals prepared for adoption through fostering with basic training), and stray or owner-surrendered animals taken into foster care for permanent placement. Each animal has lived in a foster home and been evaluated for behavior, health, and household fit before being made available for adoption.

We are part of a larger network called the Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN), which connects shelters, rescues, veterinary clinics, landlords, and community partners across multiple states into a shared infrastructure for prevention work. Our adoption decisions are made with that bigger system in mind. Every adoption we finalize is an animal that didn't enter the shelter pipeline and a family that gained a permanent companion.

Why we do this: we believe families are usually out of options, not out of love. The system has been built to catch pets at the end of the story instead of changing how the story gets told. We work to change that, one family and one pet at a time.
