Friends of the Animal Community Our mission is to find suitable loving homes for the many wonderful animals in our shelter We help unwanted, abused, or abandoned animals.

Friends of the Animal Community (FOAC) is a small group of dedicated, animal loving volunteers in Tuolumne County who help our local animal shelter and community. FOAC is a 501c3 non profit. Since our formation in 2001 we have helped to re-home over 1000 dogs and 400 cats. Our primary focus is to help the animals in our local shelter that are often overlooked, the senior animals, and those requiring expensive surgeries or needing special medical care.

It's National Cat Day! 🐈

Created for appreciation, activism, and internet fun -- today is a great day to pay extra attention to your furry friend by either buying them a new toy or treat or by spending a little extra time engaging in active play! 🐾

Today brings awareness to local animal shelters as we encourage you (if you're able to) to donate old blankets, food, or funds to support them! Sonora Cat Rescue and Friends of the Animal Community are a few good places to start! ❤️

Here's a list of a few other ideas to paw at to start feline (feel-ing) amazing today:

• Contact a local rescue organization to help out, adopt, or offer to foster! Did you know fostering saves two lives?! 🙀 The cat you foster plus the next one that takes its place in the shelter!

• Be virtually impactful! Help manage a shelter's social media or simply engage with their content by sharing photos of adoptable cats!

• Watch a cat documentary (this includes the big cats 🐯🦁) or simply spend an hour scrolling through the best cat content the internet has to offer!

• Post photos of your own cat and share them down below or tag us! We'd love to see your feline besties! Our post today features our wonderful manager Mandy's very own orange boy Freddy!

🐾 Meet Your New Best Friend! ❤️

This sweet 4-month-old brindle girl is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly! 🐶 She loves other dogs, has been calm around cats, and enjoys relaxing on her bed or the couch with a toy and her favorite people.

✨ Doing great with crate & potty training
✨ Walks beautifully on a leash
✨ Already knows “sit”!
✨ Very affectionate and loves cuddles

She’d make a wonderful addition to a family or anyone looking for a loving companion who enjoys playtime just as much as cozy snuggles. 🏡💕

Could she be the missing piece to your family? 🐾❤️

Meet Dug. He’s an Aussie Cross mix, approximately 6-9 months and is very affectionate. Dug loves to give hugs! He’s currently learning how to walk on a lead and is progressing nicely. He went to the groomers today for a spa day and did wonderful. He’s great in the car, he’s not anxious and didn’t experience motion sickness driving from Jamestown to Twain Harte. He’s good with other dogs leashed and unleashed. Not sure how he is with cats or chickens. Dug would make a wonderful addition to any family young or seasoned that has space for him to run around and provide him with the exercise he needs.
