Friends of the Animals Baton Rouge

Friends of the Animals Baton Rouge FOTA is a 501(c)3 non-profit foster-based rescue that began in January 2010. We were established for the purpose of rescuing dogs from shelters. www.fotabr.org

We are not an open intake shelter. Since starting in 2010, FOTA has found forever homes for more than 7,000 animals from local shelters and our FASS re-home program. FOTA Alternative to Shelter Surrender (FASS) is a program where an owner or finder can foster a dog with the intent to have the dog re-homed. Located on our website (www.fotabr.org) FOSTER tab are instructions for applying to the FASS program. Visit our website and learn how you can become a member, donate, or volunteer!

Come by The Dog Adoption House & meet MADDOX. This sweet boy has been waiting a very long time for his forever person/people. Maddox is 3 yr., 45 lb. His foster says he’s been great with their dog, & they’ve had a blast playing together. See video in comments! While not a fan of cats, he is housetrained & heartworm negative. You can take him out in one of our play yards & get to know him! Apply to adopt in person.

We love our adopters who foster!!! Here is former FOTA dog Pookie (left) and his mom's current FOTA foster SYDNEY (right) sharing a cozy bed. Fostering is a great way to have a friend over to play with your dog! Sydney is staying with Pookie for the weekend, and they've gotten along great! Thinking about fostering??? Our application is super short making it easy to apply. Just go to www.fotabr.org/foster-1 to apply. We provide everything you need to foster. You just provide a loving, safe temporary home!

Interested in adopting SYDNEY??? You can meet her at The Dog Adoption House daily (except Mondays). She is 3 yr., 9 lb., good with dogs, and housetrained. Come by and take her out in one of our play yards to get to know her. Apply to adopt in person.
