Dog adoption in Sonora
Benny
Pit Bull Terrier
An application starts a conversation. FOAC confirms availability and the right fit, then coordinates next steps for meeting an animal.
Meet Benny.
Bennie is a one year old male who weighs about 35 lbs. He is UTD on his shots, hes neutered and microchipped.
Bennie was pulled from Animal Control by FOAC about a month ago and has been fostered by us since. We have no information about what his life was prior. Bennie is very shy. He was very wary around my husband, but bonded with me almost immediately. He would run and hide whenever there was a noise, still does sometimes. At first, he would stay with me while Tom came to him and gave him a cookie; his tail started wagging. Now he is running with everyone else to get cookies. Hes come a long way here, he plays with our dogs, females, and another male foster very well. He sticks around, doesnt go wandering, listens well and comes when called. Bennie is a sweet boy,he is going to make someone a good hiking buddy and couch buddy. He needs an experienced, patient dog owner to continue to build his confidence. If you are that person, please visit Friends of the Animals website, www.foac.us and fill out an application. Come meet this sweet boy.

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.
