AFRP Dogs Looking for Homes - Call (831) 333-0722 if you are interested
AFRP's dogs are cared for in foster homes. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please call or email first before coming down to the adoption center. On any given day we have 5 to 10 dogs at the center, not ALL of our dogs are on site.

In order to ensure that we make the best match for a dog with a new family, potential adopters are required to go through an interview process, fill out an application, and have a home check done by one of our volunteers. We do not do same day adoptions. After meeting one of our dogs, it might take up to a week before the adoption process is complete and the dog goes home with you.

Please call (831) 333-0722 or email info@animalfriendsrescue.org if you are interested in adopting an AFRP dog and we will have the foster volunteer contact you directly.

AFRP only adopts out dogs that have been spayed/neutered. The adoption fee is $200-$300. The adoption fee helps to cover the cost of the care the animal has received, including spay/neuter, vaccines, microchipping, deworming, and flea treatment. Adopters are encouraged to take their new AFRP dog to one of our participating vets for a free wellness check (see list of participating vets).

Rimshot is a handsome 1 1/2 year old black tricolor Australian Shepherd. He's a smart, friendly dog who loves to go for walks and rides in the car. He came to us from the Peninsula Humane Society, and had recovered from a case of pneumonia. He came to us knowing nothing--completely untrained. He has since picked up several basic commands and is bright and eager to please. He is not yet house trained but is working on it! He'd be a great dog for an active adopter who can continue to work with him. He is not safe with cats, and needs a feline-free home. Rimshot is currently in foster care in Santa Cruz. If you are interested in him, please fill out an online adoption application. 		Max
sponsor me

Max is handsome 7-year-old, 18 pound Lhasa Apso. He lost his home when his owners had to move and could not take him along. Max is house trained, great on the leash and loves to go for rides in the car. He's not particularly interested in playing with other dogs, but he is tolerant of other dogs in the home as long as they aren't pushy. Max is a fairly typical Lhasa in that he can be a bit stubborn when you want him to do something he doesn't want to do! He has a dominant personality. For this reason we are looking for an adult-only home for Max, and experience with this breed would be a plus. He is currently in foster care in the Santa Cruz area. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an online adoption application.

Satchel
Satchel is a loving 8-month-old pit bull terrier mix with an exceptionally calm, poised temperament. He will probably weigh about 45 pounds when mature. Next to cuddling in a warm lap, Satchel's favorite activity is romping with the other dogs in his foster home. Satchel would do best in a home that gives him lots of affection, companionship, mental and physical exercise and that has another good-natured dog who can be Satchel's best 4-legged buddy. An understanding of the special responsibilities of properly raising and training a bully breed pup is essential. Satchel already knows basic commands, is eager to please, and has what it takes to become a stellar breed ambassador. If you are interested in adopting Satchel, please fill out an online adoption application. 		Dominic

He'd do best in a home where he will get a nice daily walk, go to formal obedience training classes and a consistent routine at home. Dominic is looking for an adult home or a home with older children. He gets along with other dogs, but has not been tested with cats. For more about adopting Dominic, please fill out an online adoption application.

Ebony is a very nice girl who enjoys playing with other dogs and would love to have a playful companion dog; however, she is not cat-safe, as she will persistently chase them. It appears that Ebony has had some obedience training; she sits very nicely at the offer of a treat. She travels nicely in the car and crates easily. She is a wonderful young dog who is ready to find and bond with a loving and caring family. Ebony is in boarding and would love to find herself a foster or adoptive home soon.

Napoleon
Napoleon is an adorable 6-month-old Chihuahua puppy who will only weigh about 5 pounds when he's all grown up.

Napoleon is happy, friendly and interested in everything that is going on around him. He especially likes to view the world from the safety of his person's arms or a front carrying pouch. Napoleon was born with a luxating patella in his hind leg--his kneecap wouldn't stay in the correct position. He had surgery to correct this and is doing great. Because of his fragile size, Napoleon would do best in an adult home or with a family with teenagers. If you are interested in adopting Napoleon, please fill out an online adoption application.
