As a Pacific Grove resident, I wanted to write and commend you on your excellent management of the AFRP store. I am a 23-year local and I witnessed the store transformation from your Fountain Ave location to your current store location on Grand Ave.
The previous store was, to say it delicately, a bit messy. In the first few weeks in your new location I was able to snag a jewel of an antique that was underpriced. After a short time, however, Stephanie became manager and turned the hodgepodge store into a jewel of Pacific Grove.
Suddenly a dressing room was created, items were logically arranged, and there was (and is) a welcoming environment. What a transformation!
Kudos to Stephanie and her hard work at AFRP. I’m certain the animals are applauding, too.

Have been trying to get in touch with them for a few weeks now to get an update on a cat in attempting to adopt. Never picks up the phone or responds to emails. No way to get in touch with them

I’m totally biased because we foster with this org. But they walk the walk. They are doing the good work for animals in danger.

I had a elderly friend who was 88 and she had became fragile and was in need of help with her 2 Lil dogs who she loved deeply.So a friend of mine told me about a place I n p.g. that would foster& adopt both dogs out to loving homes.So we called animal friends &We were blessed , They assured her the dogs will be loved & adopted out to a loving home. I want to thank this place for caring for so many animals,& my friend has pa passed with a smile on her face .They called her a mth before & told her they went to a loving family.thanks again animal friends.

Great place to adopt from. In-depth process allows for the best homes to be found for each pet.

One of those most reliable rescues for any aged animals friendly and passionate “Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling an emptiness we didn’t ever know we had.”

awesome fundraiser "Bark for a Cause"!! we had a BLAST!!! ok, we are "addicted to" dog rescues [Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, NorCal Boxer Rescue & the last several years, Animal Friends Rescue Project. We love the heart, organization, focus & success of these groups. Today's "BOW WOW RESCUE PROJECT" a total hit: the venue had to be changed SUDDENLY because of rain, but Rancho Cielo Ted Taylor Youth Vocational Ag Center was PERFECT venue; caterers "The Butcher's Pit" had most delicious pulled pork, brisquet & side dishes, the AFRP staff was ON & so welcoming, Roger Reedy excellent MC, of course we love MICHELLE STARR, our ALL-STARR dog sitter for a couple "generations" of dogs x 5 1/2 yrs, the wine guys [sorry, didn't get name, but excellent], the basketball team greeting/directing staff so ON, the guitarist/singer STEVEN SHOOK was mesmerizing [YOU WOULD BE WASTED IN RETIREMENT. NO RETIREMENT!!! THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!]....obviously, we were smitten with our experience [& we go to lots of pup fundraisers]. Looking forward to Monterey Co. Gives when we can $ support AFRP again. [yeah, we worked 6-7 days a wk, 12 + hrs a day for 50+ yrs to support these grps]

Horrible. We were so ready to adopt a pup. I left 4 messages on the phone, we sent in two applications and sent emails. We NEVER heard anything back from anyone. Really disappointing and I feel really badly for the dogs that are looking for good forever homes. We ended up getting a delightful pup from Hitchcock Animal Services in Salinas

The directions and address are wrong. They actually moved across the street, but they don’t have a forward address on the old building and they do have one for the store which is five blocks away. What a stressful morning. Three workers at one location and no one was able to admit that they are brokers from the shelters to place pets for a fee. No direct drop offs here, go to no kill shelter that’s registered with them first.

Not just everything to support rescues, but provide everything for those who do. Well-stocked by a caring set of customers.
