Mission

We are dedicated to finding good permanent homes for abandoned, stray, and abused companion animals and ending the pet overpopulation crisis through focused spay/neuter programs. We work with our local community and animal shelters to identify and assist the dogs and cats most in need of a helping hand.

The Big Idea

Our Big Idea for the 2024 MC Gives campaign is to raise funds that will support our program animals' bodies, minds, and souls. With these funds, we aim to provide essential resources and training to help those animals who have experienced emotional trauma. Additionally, the funds will be utilized to provide much-needed medical care to animals who have suffered physical injuries and trauma. We also recognize the invaluable role of our foster families in healing the souls of our rescue cats and dogs. Therefore, the funds raised will also provide support to our fosters, enabling them to continue their important work in nurturing and rehabilitating these animals. Through the collective efforts of our community, we can make a significant impact on the well-being and overall quality of life for these animals in need.

When we decided to adopt a dog in 2018, AFRP was our first stop. Our experience with Bella, and with AFRP, was so positive that two years later we adopted Dusty. Dusty had a rough first year of life, as he was found on the side of the road when he was three months old with a near fatal case of parvovirus. He was nursed back to health and cared for by his AFRP foster mom, Michelle -- one of over 200 committed AFRP volunteers. AFRP directs a significant amount of donated money to provide the necessary supplies and medical care to support volunteer fosters like Michelle, who lovingly nurtured and rehabilitated him after his physical and emotional trauma. We are deeply grateful to AFRP for all they do to support their animals -- from fostering, to ensuring the best possible fit for adoptees in their new homes.
