Thousands of animals in our community are put to death each year due to overpopulation. Solano County Friends of Animals (SCFOA) is a group of animal loving volunteers who are dedicated to reducing the population of unwanted and abandoned pets in Solano County by providing an adoption service for homeless pets and by actively working to provide low cost spay/neuter options and reduce the number of feral cats in Solano County through Trap/Neuter/Return. SCFOA is a no-kill group. Any pet fostered by SCFOA is kept until a suitable home can be found. Unfortunately, we don't have the facilities to house all the unwanted pets, however, placement services are available. Adoption Events are held every Saturday and Sunday at three different venues in Solano County. We are a registered non-profit organization with the state of California; all donations are tax deductible. 100% of cash contributions go directly to helping the animals.

Hen Harbor’s founder worked for a national farm-animal sanctuary for several years. During this time, she documented, and rescued animals from, horrific factory-farming conditions. She found that by far, the most intense suffering on the largest scale occurred in the poultry industry -- with factory-farmed egg-laying hens enduring the worst conditions of all.

The foundation of our program is education. Without education on spay/neuter, breed specific legislation (BSL), training, breed specific workshops, the dog fighting culture and responsible ownership, the epidemic will never end. Rescue is a mere bandage in the overall scale of the canine epidemic. Shelters are overrun, rescues are overflowing and society is in need of education. For every one spot we fill in our program, we turn away 50. We average 20-25 canines at any given time and 90% of our rescue population is comprised of the American Pit Bull Terrier. We work with canines from any and every background, whether it be a surrendered family pet, bait dog, seasoned fighter or the abused. We are a no-kill rescue/rehabilitation in that we will never euthanize for space. We, as a moral, ethical and objective organization, will NOT adopt out a canine that is a threat to society. We are advocates of the American Pit Bull Terrier, as such we will not add to the epidemic by being irresponsible.
