Pet Friends & Rescue is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to eliminating cruelty and neglect by uniting homeless companion animals with loving, forever homes. Our mission is to foster a community of education, care, and deep concern that strengthens the beautiful bond between humans and animals.
Since 1991, we have been a sanctuary for local homeless and abandoned animals. We are proud to operate as a no-kill shelter, serving as a beacon of hope for companion animals in need throughout San Benito County.
Our work is rooted in providing a safe and permanent shelter environment while our residents await their new families. We exclusively rescue adoptable animals from Hollister Animal Control, ensuring we provide consistent care, socialization, and medical support. Additionally, our foster network allows us to provide specialized relief and care for animals during emergencies, such as our dedicated kitten foster program.
Adoption is a lifetime commitment, and we believe in creating successful, lifelong partnerships between pets and their new families. We encourage you to schedule a meet and greet to connect with your potential furry friend. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that every adoption is the start of a wonderful life together.
There are many ways to make a difference, from volunteering your time to walking dogs on our beautiful property to opening your home as a foster. We invite you to explore our adoptable pets online or visit our location in Hollister to see how you can get involved. Together, we can continue to create heartwarming success stories for animals in need.
