Dog adoption in Sonora
Brisket
Boxer
An application starts a conversation. FOAC confirms availability and the right fit, then coordinates next steps for meeting an animal.
Meet Brisket.
Brisket is a very cuddly boy! He loves taking naps with his foster, is a great guard dog, knows sit, stay, place, and lie down, and is housetrained. Brisket has lived with other dogs and cats but can be protective of his people. He doesn’t pull hard on leash unless he gets excited. He listens well to commands and is a very loving, goofy dog! Brisket needs a secure yard because he will try to escape.
Brisket broke his leg as a puppy and had surgery. He is now completely healed and does not need an amputation. He does have separation anxiety.

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.
