An application starts a conversation. FOAC confirms availability and the right fit, then coordinates next steps for meeting an animal.

Meet Jax black.

If you have a soft spot for the seniors in a kennel please consider this cutie.

Meet Jax! This gentle, low maintenance, easygoing guy is ready to be your instant best friend. He has been fostered in our home for a couple weeks now and settled in right away. He enjoys 1 or 2 short walks per day and loves being around his person (s). He is also ok with alone time and is content to lounge and nap in his bed throughout the day. He's a quiet boy, doesn't bark much. He tends to sleep like a rock through the night.
He does well with other dogs but given his length of time in a shelter environment would ideally be slowly introduced. He has also tested well with cats at the facility but can react to loose cats in the neighborhood.
He is a very gentle guy towards people and children. He loved to come up and put his head in your lap or sit next to you and lean against you.
He walks well on a leash and knows commands such as sit and lie down. As an added bonus, he has a very short coat and hardly sheds at all. He enjoys water as long as it is shallow and he can touch the bottom. He doesn't mind baths or being sprayed off with a hose.

I have not found him to be destructive in anyway in my household. Not a picky eater, he eats his kibble with no issues. Food motivated.
He's great in a car and jumps right in when it's time to go. He is comfortable in a kennel. At our house, he sleeps out in the open in his bed, but I do kennel him for a car rides, and he goes right in very easily.

He would make a great companion for anyone, especially if you are looking for a calm, low-key easy-going dog.

Jax is a weimer mix
He is 8 years old.

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.
