Dog adoption in Sonora
Derpy
American Bully
An application starts a conversation. FOAC confirms availability and the right fit, then coordinates next steps for meeting an animal.
Meet Derpy.
Derpy will be turning 1 on July 27th 2025. He is neutered and is up to date on all his vaccinations. Derpy is a sweetheart. He’s very sweet and affectionate. He LOVES when he gets to play ball. He does well on a leash, but hasn’t been strictly leash trained so could benefit from some proper training. He has a small dog friend that he does great with; and he’s spent time with cats and kids. He does have a high prey drive and is prone to chasing birds, but he’s eager to please and will respond to any commands to stop, leave it etc... he hasn’t had a ton of socialization so he can be a bit shy, but I took him to Lowe’s recently and he made friends with everyone in the store! He was SO happy to be meeting new people. Derpy is a great dog and will make someone very happy. He is ready to love and be loved!

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.
