The people currently running Animal Friends are very dedicated and competant. Over the past 30 years plus I've been helping various shelters and rescue groups wherever I am- that includes Albuquerque, Boston and the pacific northwest. I've seen the worst and the best and believe me, Animal friends is among the best. From the medical care they seek to the love (and food, and flea products, deworming, etc.) that they give is nothing short of commendable. Every step taken to preserve a life is admirable and AF dogs are fortunate to end up in such good hands.
