Buddy Olman Animal Rescue Foundation

🐶🐱Welcome to BOARF !

🐱We are an independent no-kill rescue, Run by our owner, Charity Howell and her few volunteers which mainly consists of family and friends. We are foster based but wish for a future brick and mortar facility at the very least. For now we will continue to answer calls for help and keep our animals in-house.

🐶We are located all over Southern Pennsylvania, Because we are foster based it makes it possible to have a larger radius and help more companion animals.

🐾We take in unwanted, stray, owner surrendered and abandoned pets. Currently we only have the ability to home and care for Cats and Kittens, But hope to expand to dogs and beyond in the future.

🐱The Cats and Kittens we take in get spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated before we adopt them to their furever homes.

🐶We are volunteers, working towards a greater goal. We only have the ability to care for these animals through your donations. We run solely off of what is given to us and mostly out of our own pocket. We are not a 501c.3 but we are gaining momentum towards that future goal. If you would like to help please speak up, we appreciate it!

About Charity...a small private rescuer located in South Central Pennsylvania. I've been rescuing companion animals for over 15 years and volunteering since the age of 14. While I reside in Bedford County, I serve all my surrounding counties on a limited basis as I can.

I've gathered a small group of friends and family who currently volunteer their time to help our cause.

I believe companion animals have the right to be heard, loved, and understood as equal beings. I believe in advocating for them because they cannot speak for themselves. My Rescue currently does TNR for the community as well as rescuing individual animals from dire situations as well as helping to spay/neuter and vet all the animals we can.
