Friends of Animals is a no-kill shelter, often taking in animals who, through no fault of their own, are considered difficult to place. Some are simply old, others badly abused, injured or chronically ill, pregnant or traumatized.
While they wait for that special person who can provide a caring home for them, we ensure that they are happy, safe and secure.

I'm Pat
I'm probably a spaniel mix, but the crazy thing is I look just like a teeny, shrunk-down golden retriever. I was rescued from an abusive owner, so I'm understandably nervous about people. What I need is a calm and caring new mom or dad who's willing to earn my trust by getting to know me at my pace. I'm worth it, because I'm a genuinely sweet, devoted guy who just yearns to feel safe and loved.
I'm Trooper
Boy, if ever a dog had the right name, it's me! I'm a purebred Jack Russell terrier who came to FOAF with two broken front legs. But even then I was an absolute sweetheart. After lots of expert vet care and love I'm pretty much good as new (I have a limp, but I sure don't let that slow me down). I’m a perfect example of the feisty, fun-loving Jack Russell personality, although like many JRs I’m not too good with some other dogs and animals smaller than me. If you love courageous, affectionate, furry little heroes, come by and meet me!
