FOHA was an amazing place to get our first dog! We came in without an appointment just to get a feel for what kind of dog we would be interested in. Alison asked us some questions and introduced us to Lucille- it was love at first sight! She is the perfect fit for us and our living situation. FOHA was extremely accommodating in allowing us to pick her up when we returned from a trip out of state (and visiting her regularly in the meantime). We were going to pick her up after our flight home, and it ended up being delayed quite a few hours. Even though it was past closing time, Alison still let us pick up Lucille, and waited for us with everything we needed (and a spare leash to borrow, since we came from the airport)

The first two photos are at FOHA in November, and last three are from the last few weeks. 🙂

FOHA is doing amazing work caring for homeless pets and helping them to find their forever home. I am really impressed with the staffs dedication and the many different opportunities to get involved. There is something for everyone here. Even kids and teens can volunteer! Great work FOHA?

Very easy to go through the adoption process. My kitty changed my life! This is Charlotte formerly known as Charli. I adopted her at 4 months old, she is now 1 years old!

We love this place! They are simply great people who truly love their animals. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit this shelter home before adopting a new family member. Thank you FHA for giving us Wilfred!!!

Five stars only because ten isn’t an option! After losing our beloved companion and feeling completely devastated and lost, we found ourselves without a dog for the first time in our lives. We started searching for another companion to share our lives and home with. We stumbled upon Gunther on the FOHA website and immediately fell in love with his gorgeous face. We loved seeing the videos of him at social time and all the comments the volunteers wrote about him and his personality. We knew we just had to meet him. Thankfully, we were able to work with a wonderful lady Katy. Katy went out of her way continuously to help us through the adoption process, answer my 1,000 questions and was extremely compassionate. It was very clear to us that she loved all animals unconditionally the same way we did. Katy arranged for us to meet Donna at the facility and meet Gunther. Donna was super sweet and helpful in assisting us with adopting our new pup. Since we have brought Gunther home he has helped us so much in healing our broken hearts. He has brought tons of laughter back into our quiet home and endless doggie kisses and snuggles. We truly appreciate all of the help from both Katy and Donna in our process. We appreciate everything you both do, everyday to help other pups find their loving fur ever homes. If you have a chance to visit this facility, it is amazing! There’s wooded trails and fenced play yards. Hopefully we get approved for their foster program so we can continue to work with all of the amazing people who made it possible for us to find our Gunther boy. <3

Had so much fun today visiting the dogs at FOHA. I walked Cookies and cream and had a wonderful time. He's available to be adopted and is a great playful dog

I adopted my first dog from FOHA in September 2007. I had an interview process prior to me getting to the shelter. From what I can tell they were courteous and asked relevant questions. They also had a home inspection later before the adoption process, which tells that they do want to make sure that their pup goes to a safe location. Lanie was around 2.5 years old when I got her, and had been there for almost 1 year. She was a Smooth Collie / Alaskan Malamute mix and had been properly cared for as long as she was at FOHA. They followed up after about 3 months later to make sure that I was comfortable and had no issues with Lanie.

Lanie recently passed away just a few weeks ago at a little over 13 years old.

My wife and I adopted a beautiful young dog Nyssa (formerly Dora) this week. The staff was extremely friendly. They took great lengths to talk about what to expect in a timid dog and ways to help her integrate in our home. They led us through the process, did a doggie intro, provided as much background health and behavior information as they had on her and offered continuing support. I highly recommend Friends of Homeless Animals! Full disclosure, I am currently a FOHA BOD member. This is our first adoption from FOHA, and the above review is based solely on this experience
