“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, but over the years, FOAC has evolved into a vital resource for animal welfare in Sonora, Tuolumne County. With a deep commitment to the well-being of all animals, FOAC provides a safe haven for dogs in need of rescue and shelter.” FOAC, located in the heart of Gold Country, is a beacon of hope for furry friends in distress. Their dedication to the animal community is evident in their dog-friendly facilities and programs designed to promote adoption and responsible pet ownership.
Visitors to FOAC can expect a warm welcome and the opportunity to meet a variety of lovable dogs waiting for their forever homes. With a focus on education and advocacy, FOAC serves as a valuable resource for both locals and travelers seeking to support animal welfare initiatives.
