Animal Compassion Team of California (ACT)

Animal Compassion Team of California (ACT) ACT is a non-profit, dog and cat rescue, dedicated to helping the animals in Fresno County. Having said that, why would we choose to dive in deeper?
(845)

The vision for ACT has been brewing in the minds of the Animal Compassion Team founders for many years. The paths we have walked have prepared us and tested our determination through hard work, buckets of tears, mountains of f***l matter (a favorite topic of discussion amongst animal rescuers), and more then our fair share of discouragement and heartbreak. For the love of the animals we serve. It

is just that simple. Dogs, cats, and other wonderful animals are dying in huge numbers daily. We hope to help change that. We moved beyond the discussion phase and filed the paperwork necessary to become a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation with the state of California and the Federal Government. It is a huge leap of faith for all of us who already feel overwhelmed by the work we are doing but we believe this is the time....this is what we have all been preparing for. One life saved makes all the effort and emotional investment worthwhile. This is going to be an exciting journey and we hope to post MANY happy endings on this blog. The animals are already arriving......stay tuned .....we have only just begun!

Hey everyone! Tiny Toad here and I’m just smiling thinking about my future home! Is that you because I’ve been looking for over 2 months now with no luck! I’m the last of my litter and am the sweetest boy. I’m about 7-8 pounds now and am 5 months old. I will be about 12-15 pounds full grown. I’m an adorable Terrier mix. I am dog, cat and kid friendly! I’m crate trained and pretty good with house training! I love treats and listen great! If you want a sweet snuggle buddy just in time for Christmas please text or call my foster mom at (559)267-3607 or complete an online adoption application for me!

We're getting close! Only 2 more days until our Christmas Open House!! Hope you are going to join us!!

Saving Lives Changing Lives

Nine years and counting. Ten thousand lives and counting. Animal Compassion Team is a team that is committed to saving and changing the lives of the homeless pets of the Central Valley of California. We work tirelessly on their behalf. Founded in 2009 by a group of friends who saw the need for change, ACT has been growing and going strong ever since.

We rely on financial support from wonderful donors such as yourself to save lives. We rely on the goodness of our volunteers to help us provide excellent care to those in our charge and we cannot say enough good things about our adopters: Without wonderful people providing home to our animals we could not move forward.

Would you like to join the team? Donate? Volunteer? Adopt? Please email [email protected] and she will get you started.
