Friends of Animals Foundation: Making Adopting Pets Easy

The Friends of Animals Foundation was founded in 1983 and has worked since then to match rescued pets with loving and responsible families. FOAF provides medical care, spaying and neutering, training and behavioral assistance.

They always work at “full capacity,” meaning that they have an average of 145 animals at the shelter on any given day.

FOAF works mainly to get homeless or abandoned pets adopted by a family that will continue to give them the care they need. It is a non-profit, no-kill rescue shelter in West Los Angeles, CA. You can lend a hand (or paw) by adopting a cat, adopting a dog, or volunteering.

Adoption Policy

The Friends of Animals Foundation is very careful about the placement of their animals.  Before placing the animal in a home, the home is screened as part of the legitimate adoption process – making sure that the animal will not be used for medical purposes or as a fighting dog. All animals are delivered to their new homes and the compatibility is observed between owner and pet before anything is permanent. Adoption fees are required, and the money goes towards large bills for animals still at the adoption agency.
