Animal Friends was created to help our rural shelter friends (Animal Friends of Barbour County) AFOBC Animal Friends - VA addresses, coordinates and provides aid and relief to abused animals and finds loving homes for those animals. We provide education during interviews and meet and greets on the care animals deserve and ensure through contracts that our animals will be taken care of after adoption. Our program raises consciousness about the cause of over population at animal shelters, the importance of spaying and neutering your pets and the benefits of good veterinarian care. We contribute to vetting and operational expenses at other animal shelters and assist by placing their pets into loving homes. We also offer volunteer opportunities which provides opportunities for involvement in said activities and programs in order to have a greater impact for change in the community.
