Friends of the Animal Community (FOAC) is proud of the life-saving work we’ve been accomplishing in our community. In 2025, we successfully rescued and rehomed over 778 animals, placing them in safe, loving, and permanent homes. As a nearly all volunteer organization, we operate with dedication, compassion, and efficiency, relying solely on pet adoptions, private donations, fundraising events, and occasional grants to sustain our efforts.
For the Love of Paws, will take place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds in Sonora. With an expected attendance of over 300 guests, the evening will feature live music by Blue Oak, BBQ by Sierra Smoke, and a variety of fundraising opportunities—all coming together to raise critical funds and unite our community in support of animal rescue.
Tickets are $75 per person available at the FOAC facility at 15107 Tuolumne Rd, Sonora, Dusty’s Den or call Darlene 209-768-3630 or Maureen 408-391-1595
Our fundraising goal is $60,000, with every dollar going directly toward veterinary care, shelter operations, food, and transportation for animals in need.
Thank you for considering a contribution to this life-saving mission. We would be thrilled to partner with you in making a lasting difference for animals in our community.
