Friends of the Animal Community (FOAC) was established as a 501)(c)(3) non-profit, stand-alone organization in 2001 as a companion organization to Tuolumne County Animal Control and was thus named “Friends of Animal Control”. Initially, their mission was to relieve crowding at the animal shelter, expedite movement of homeless pets into permanent, loving homes, and reduce the number of unnecessary euthanizations at the animal shelter.
This process continues today, by moving pets out of animal control into foster care or a breed-specific rescue organization with the ultimate goal of finding the best possible home for the pet.
