Shepherd
An application starts a conversation. FOAC confirms availability and the right fit, then coordinates next steps for meeting an animal.
Meet Timber.
Meet Timber — Your Loyal Adventure Buddy with a Heart of Gold
Timber is a handsome 8-year-old, 55-pound gentleman who’s ready to be someone’s loyal best friend. This sweet boy has the perfect balance of mellow and active — he’s happy lounging at your feet, but always up for a walk or two each day.
At home, Timber is the definition of easy: fully potty trained, non-destructive, and well-mannered. He’s a “Velcro dog” in the best way — loves to be near his people, rest his head on your leg, and look at you with those soulful eyes — yet he’s also fine sleeping in his own space or hanging out alone for a bit.
Timber gets along well with respectful dogs of similar energy and does great with cats (and even chickens!) after a proper introduction. He walks beautifully on leash.
He can be a little cautious when meeting new people but warms up with patience and kindness. Timber would do best in an adult home where he can feel safe, loved, and included.
If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will adore you completely, Timber is your guy

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.
