Dog adoption in Sonora
Autumn
German Shepherd Dog
An application starts a conversation. FOAC confirms availability and the right fit, then coordinates next steps for meeting an animal.
Meet Autumn.
Hey everyone this is Autumn, I (her foster mom) thinks she’s Catahoula shepherd mix she’s not very big maybe 30-40 pounds. We pulled her from animal control last November, when we first brought her home she was a scared little baby. Since then she has become such sweet loving dog, she loves our kids they can lay on her and she doesn’t bat an eye I’ve never worried about her hurting them. She does get very excited and unaware of her surroundings and knocks my toddler down but we are working on that. Autumn is such a sweet dog, she gets along really well will all the dogs she meets, she doesn’t bug our chickens and has been around horses. (she does try to herd) She LOVES cats a little to much and can be very obsessive with them, I think she’d be best in a home without cats. Shes never tried to hurt ours but spends a lot of time searching for them. Autumn likes to hang out with her family on her down time, she’s house trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash. She doesn’t run off and has a decent recall, she’s gotten out of our fence a few times and just hangs out around the house. She’s is looking for a loving patient home that can spoil her like she deserves. She’s come a long way since last year!

The adoption process
Adopting through FOAC
These are FOAC’s general policies. Your adoption review will cover this pet’s specific care.
About FOAC
FOAC is a mostly volunteer nonprofit helping pets since 2001 in Sonora, Tuolumne County and nearby communities. We ease shelter overcrowding, support animals’ medical and social needs, and help people unable to keep their pets.
Applying and meeting
Submit FOAC’s application even after a Petfinder inquiry or adopter profile. We review your household and animal interest, then discuss next steps. Applying neither reserves an animal nor guarantees adoption.
Most pets live with foster families, receiving companionship while we learn their needs. Arrange your meeting with FOAC after applying and before visiting.
Veterinary care
FOAC provides care appropriate to age and needs: vaccinations, rabies vaccination when age-appropriate, heartworm testing for dogs, and feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) testing for cats.
Spay/neuter and vouchers
Spay/neuter happens before adoption when possible. Puppies and kittens may leave before surgery because of age or timing. FOAC provides a voucher; adopters must arrange surgery.
Other outstanding required care also receives a voucher. The team explains that care and your responsibilities.
