This place is an amazing lifesaver for rescuing, caring and placing animals! Responded to a feral that had five kittens in my shed. Trapped, fixed and placed them in foster care. They make happy endings!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I like the easy process where I wait in my car while the vet sees my pets. I’ve taken my cat and dogs and they’ve done well, even with my scared and snarky one.

We adopted a cat around a year and a half ago. We were assured from the beginning that our animal was very healthy. We believed this, because generally Animal Friends has a good reputation. But from the moment we took her home she has had a chronic and incurable upper respiratory problem. She constantly struggles to breathe. We have taken her to the vet countless times and there is no helping her. I understand that an animal getting sick is a risk you take when taking them home. But this sickness has always been with her and was never disclosed. You pawned a sickly uncomfortable animal off to my family. I will never adopt from Animal Friends again, and I encourage others to look elsewhere when looking for a new family member. I love my cat dearly but she breaks my heart every day. I wish we had known what we were getting into. I wish her health had been monitored closer. I wish she was shown genuine care prior to coming home with us. I wish I didn't feel conned. I wish for many things that Animal Friends was unable to provide my animal.

Good shelter but search "Animal Friends Alliance North Taft" for adoptions :) no adoptions here, just at the North Taft Office

This place is awesome, we took our 1 year old Gray Dane in for a spay. They did such a great job with her, they informed us how long it would take, give us an overall health report. It was less expensive than other places we have checked out. Unfortunately we have had bad experience with our other Great Dane that passed away from bad supervising with meds at different veterinary services. Over all we are very happy about this outcome!!!

They were so thorough and professional, I felt like my baby was being cared for! They're true professionals & the affordable price did not effect the level of care including his procedure. We got there right at the 8 am check in and it took about 25 minutes before he was checked in. I would recommend anyone to take there furry companion there because they'll be in good hands. Thank you!

I've had both positive and extremely negative experiences with AFA. Most of the negative experiences surround my interactions with Mariah.
It isn't often that I happen upon a supposed "non-profit" who are really just posing in order to pay a salary for a job they want and love. In this case though, Mariah is clearly that person. The trouble with that kind of power is that there is no real accountability in the end.
I'm grateful to AFA for help with my animals - to an extent. Unfortunately, Mariah still asked and threatened to send me to collections knowing my income is less than $410/month. I don't receive housing help, don't have a vehicle, and other handicaps, yet, Mariah refused my help in grant writing (which I'm actually extensively experienced with, and offered for free), refusing to even consider it - like no - what's your experience, your portfolio, NOTHING.
At this point, I consider AFA to be a joke - just a front for a paycheck for the CEO/founder. I hear she does good work - but when she refuses solid help and jeopardizes future funding due to poor business skills.....well. take it from there.
In response to Sarah's comment, below - I would add that AFA claims that they help people who don't have resources to provide spay/neuter services. Yes, I agreed to the $40 fee, hoping for a tax refund since I survive on $400/mo. Before I could even get to that point, I was bombarded with threats of collections over $40. I explained to the staff that I'm disabled (and will likely received significant backpay, with which I would have been happy to support AFA with not only the $40, but also the emergency spay costs (nearly $600). I think the lesson here - and I hope it's one that hits home, is that you drove goodwill away through lack of understanding, judgement, and really poor assumptions. I haven't exaggerated my circumstances or income, but sadly, I also haven't exaggerated my disappointment with your operation. Having made $250k/yr in the past, surviving for 3 years on my IRAs and 401Ks, I'm not embarrassed to explain my predicament; nor to expect help that I previously paid into (social security) donated to (many non-profits) and contributed to (AFA specifically). My conscious is clear on calling out AFA.

Be aware, no matter if your dog is in heat or not they will try to tell you they are so they can charge you additional money and if your dog ever so slightly resembles a pit they will tag it at as Pit Bull. Update, and now because I’ve posted this they have told me they will no longer provide services to me! Guess they should try being honest, they didn’t like getting called out apparently!
