Dog adoption in Sonora
Snickers
Pit Bull Terrier
An application starts a conversation. FOAC confirms availability and the right fit, then coordinates next steps for meeting an animal.
Meet Snickers.
I renamed him Snickers because he has brown markings, is a sweet boy, and has that nutty one ear up/one down situation.
Snickers is good with my senior dog.
He is SCARED of kenneling, so I haven't forced him. He won't go in, even for food. LAST, he started of as whining with my cat. Now he chases her.
He is VERY affectionate and seeks out petting. He likes to sleep in my bedroom, but does well on his own. Snickers is NOT food aggressive. Likes to carry stuffed animals around, but doesn't fetch or drop - yet.
He does respectably on his leash and redirects well.
I'd recommend NO cats, and older kids only. He's been friendly to everone, but he isn't aware how big he is. Although he's extremely sweet, he might knock over a younger child.

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.
