Our dog passed away at 14 years and when were ready for a dog we started looking on pet finder. We contacted Finding a Best Friend Rescue for a potential dog. Regina was prompt with responding to emails and we scheduled a meet and greet. She is very knowledgeable about animals and takes great care of them. She made the adoption process easier than I could've expected. She's always available when I have questions and helped us acclimate a new dog into our home. I highly recommend this rescue.
I saw a picture of my dog baby on Instagram and I immediately told my partner I must have this baby. I completed the application process and after I was approved, we picked up my Isaiah within a couple of weeks. Isaiah is blind in one eye from birth and was a feisty little thing. At the time, Regina was caring for two litters of puppies rescued from horrible conditions and their mamas. It takes an incredibly dedicated and courageous person to encounter some of these situations, and I'm so thankful for Regina and her crew. We paid the adoption fees which are very reasonable, being that my dog baby was neutered, vaccinated, chipped and Regina was treating Isaiah's infected blind eye and had a vet bill from his treatment. I support Finding a Best Friend Rescue and I stand behind their mission. Regina is an angel. Thank you for saving these dog babies from horrible situations.
Finding A Best Friend Rescue...is literally just that. My son was able to find his best fur friend, who is also a rescue from this awesome non-profit safe haven. My son has been asking for a puppy for quite some time and I have been putting it off. I personally was not ready to take on the responsibility full time by myself. Now that my son is a teenager I gave in and allowed him to get his first pet. In February, Finding A Best Friend Rescue participated in a Natomas community event and had "best friends" of all shapes, colors and sizes ready to be adopted. My son liked two puppies in particular. A little black puppy and a little brown puppy that were brothers. The tiniest runt 'aka' the black puppy, was stealing the hearts of many with just his tiny stature and adorable face. A week later my son and I attended another event that Finding A Best Friend Rescue was participating at in Davis. My son's heart was set on coming home with the black puppy, but the black puppy was under the weather. My son, eager to come home with a new companion, settled on the brown puppy. It has been two weeks since the adoption, but my son feels that he made the right decision. Since I am living my childhood through my son, since I was never allowed to have a pet, becoming a puppy owner is completely new for us. Ms. Regina has been truly a blessing. I have contacted her for numerous suggestions on how to give a bath, to potty training advice to eating schedule. Ms. Regina is a life saver, not just for the animals that she rescue's, but for adoption families, such as myself. It takes a special person with a big heart to be an advocate for animals, take care of their well being and make it their mission to have rescues adopted out to loving homes. Ms. Regina has been amazing and truly a blessing in more ways than one. I believe in giving a person 'their flowers' (words of gratitude) while they can 'smell' (hear) them. Ms. Regina will be blessed for her many good deeds. Here's what to expect when adopting a pet: *A application is required *Driver's License (some form of identification) *Home Inspection (it's not to be nosey, but to make sure that there's no hazards for the puppy/puppies to injure itself.) *Background check (checking for animal control violations & animal abuse, etc.) *Copy of rental lease specifying the property management does allow pets. *Donation fee for the adoption *Microchipping *Vaccination(s) The entire process can take a few days to possibly a week. This "Tiny Terror" has put me through the ringer and still does from the forgetfulness of where to go for potty training, to loss of appetite, and crying, whimpering and barking at night time. I have watched numerous videos on advice and helpful tips. I realize that it may take up to 3 months for fully potty training and for the puppy to get used to being in aew environment. Ms. Regina has sent me numerous tips and video links that have helped me to better understand my new role. This personal touch of customer service is not available anywhere else. Ms. Regina truly wants the best for all parties involved, it's genuine and it shows. I hope my Yelp review will help you decide on becoming a fur parent of a rescue animal from Finding A Best Friend Rescue. Consider fostering to see if becoming a pet owner is right for you. If not, donate to a good cause. It's truly a pawsome opportunity.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this rescue. They are by far the most knowledgeable, honest and most responsible rescue I have ever dealt with. We met them first during COVID when my daughter wanted to rescue a dog. They were very honest about the dog we chose and arranged a visit with us to see the dog. After that went well, they arranged a home visit to make sure our dog and home was compatible with our rescue. They worked with us on introductions between the dogs and stayed for a quite a while. Well it's been 2 years and we decided that we were ready to save another one. Once again, we knew what we were getting and we could not be more happy with him. I will never go anywhere else and would not recommend going anywhere else if you truly want to adopt. All of the dogs have been socialized and are great with kids and dogs (unless otherwise noted). These folks have become an extension of our family and we are so grateful that we came across Finding A Best Friend. Well worth the hour long drive to Stockton from the Bay. Check them out on Facebook and Instagram if you wanna see more.
I saw a picture on pet finder and I fell in love. I live in San Jose and found out that the rescue was located in Stockton. My husband and I drove to Regina's. First meeting with Regina I knew right off the bat, She was a lover of all animals. I remember the first moment she brought out my dog. I just knew it. He was coming home with us obviously when getting a five month old puppy you don't know what kind of behaviors it may possibly have but because of the loving foster home that Regina and her rescue provided he was well trained, not food aggressive, and got along with cats. I am completely in love with my Harley and 4 months later decided he needed a little sister so we got another beautiful pup from here. This rescue does so much work in the communities, I highly recommend you going to get a dog from them. We need to support our rescues. #dontshopadopt
We were looking to adopt a puppy. We found the cutest little Yorkie, named Puff through Finding a Best Friend Rescue. The application process did not take long and the staff is so pleasant and efficient. They told us our pup's story and we knew immediately that we were going in the right direction to rescue versus purchase. Our puppy is now grown and still happy at home. His name is Kato and we always like updating his rescue family with pics. We highly recommend FABFR!
Finding a Best Friend clearly cares about their animals and they strive to find the best home for them. We adopted a rescue dog from them several years ago and she clearly has become the bestest of friends with us! I highly recommend getting a rescue dog and getting one from Finding a Best Friend!
We adopted our senior pittie Boba Fett from Finding A Best Friend Rescue after I met him at an adoption event. He has very recently passed and I miss him every day, but my heart is also so full of gratitude that FABFR rescued and rehabbed him from truly terrible conditions and brought him into our lives. We were determined to spoil him for his remaining years and did just that, but truly we were the ones who were spoiled; Boba was well-mannered from the beginning, universally loved by every person he met, an absolute gentleman at the vet, and the most polite host whenever we had guests. I can only credit the hard work of FABFR for all they did to help him. Those looking to adopt from FABFR can expect a group of passionate volunteers with big hearts who put the animals first. My advice is to be patient on the communication front - I think especially in Silicon Valley we have a culture of expecting instantaneous responses, but please bear in mind that this is a very small team with limited resources and they are constantly working towards improving the lives of the animals in their care, such as emergency vet appointments, raising newborns that came with their rescue mamas, connecting animals with fosters, running adoption events. Sometimes their work is a matter of life or death for the animal in the moment. So please, be patient. The adoption process is thorough, like other credited rescues - it's clear that the mission is the well-being of the animal first and foremost. You have to sign a contract, but other rescues do this and frankly should be required because you're making a commitment. They're not there to help humans pick out any dog, they're there to ensure a dog that is going to the best home for that dog's needs. Once you adopt, you can expect to be part of the big FABFR family! It is so heartening to see literally hundreds of other people sharing updates, showing support and offering help when needed.
If I could rate this rescues 100 stars, I would!! My partner and I adopted our first kitten graham cracker when she was only a few weeks old. she was a rescue. After a few months, we began our search for her forever pal. We looked endlessly. Finally, we came across Ophelia (Pam at the time). As soon as we put in our request, I was responded to almost immediately! We were so excited. We ended up moving forward with the adoption. Now some GREEN flags for me: - We had to fill out an application to adopt - We had to have a home visit to insure we were the right fit - We had many questions to answer as to why we were fit parents - We had to sign a non-declawing document (promising not to declaw our cat aka mutilate them) Now, I know this may sound daunting, but this is how it should be done! Animals are a life time commitment and ensuring your home is safe and healthy is in the best interest of the animals. The process itself was seamless, easy, and fun! I got many photos of Ophelia and became friends with her foster mom, Christina. Her and I still talk today! She loves seeing pics of Ophelia and hearing updates. And knowing Ophelia had the best life possible before she joined our family means the world to me. If you're looking for an agency that is safe, cares for their animals, and will take their time to make sure you're with the best fit, this is your rescue. If you're looking for a money focused agency that will sacrifice the wellbeing of their animals for profit, this is not the establishment for you. Keep doing what you're doing!!
If you're looking to adopt from a wonderful, reputable, close knit non profit organization, I highly recommend, Finding a Best Friend Rescue. You'll be happy to know that they are very involved with helping structure your perfect adoptive pet. They are a foster based rescue and rest assured that all the dogs, cats, Guinea pigs and rabbits live in a very safe, loving environment. All under the supervision of their board members. All fosters are thoroughly screened and have become very close and involved with the adoption process to help anyone interested in learning to help. When I adopted one of my many dogs through them, I was so relieved to see their hands on support approach. If I ever had any questions or moral support, they were always there for our family. Please consider adopting through this amazing rescue. I promise you will have a wonderful experience with life long new friends.
The team behind Finding a Best Friend is incredible! They go out of their way to help dogs and cats in need and support them the entire journey from rescue to adoption! They helped us discover our beautiful dog Bolt who has changed our lives a thousand times over for the better! 10/10 recommendations!!!
The founder Regina absolutely treats all her rescues as her own until she finds the best homes for them! We stumbled upon an adoption event by Finding a Best Friend Rescue back in 2022 and walked out with the most handsome little guy ever. The rescue kept in touch to make sure the little one settled in and we stayed in touch to provide updates! She cares about all her babies for their entire life not just through their adoption. Highly recommend adoption or fostering through this Rescue! We've done both and they're certainly the best.

We adopted our dog Miley from Finding A Best Friend over 2 years ago now, and we can't thank Regina and her team enough. Despite limited resources, they do all they can to care for the dogs and cats. Miley has both environmental and food allergies and they did their best to manage her outbreaks with special food, steroid shots, and medication. The rescue is so active on social media and they're always interested in seeing what their babies are up to. We would definitely recommend Finding a Best Friend. Thanks to Finding a Best Friend, Miley found her forever home, thank you guys so much! read more

FABFAR and especially Regina is an AmAzInG rescue, better yet they are Angels to hundreds of neglected, abused and abandoned dogs and cats. We adopted two pittie-mix siblings from FABFAR in Stockton over seven years ago when they were just about 8 weeks old. Pebbles (f) and Bam Bam (m) were spared a horrible life had Regina not helped them get off of the streets and live thru Parvo, flea infestation and parasites. We continue our relationship with Regina and this group and will do so furever. We also have a granddog who came from FABFAR Praise God for creating this loving group of Angels to help animals in need ! read more

If you are looking for an animal to rescue do not do it from these guys . They are not professional at all . My wife and I really liked a puppy we seen on their website so we made an inquiry about the puppy . The lady Regina said she needed $25 for every adult in the house to run a background check on us and then after that they would schedule a home inspection. We'll she took our $75 and since then has been ghosting us . She doesn't respond to my emails at all anymore to try and schedule a home inspection. We are trying to give a dog a loving Home , if there even is a dog ! read more

We adopted our terrier mix Mochi (aka Abigail) from Regina. I initially saw Mochi's litter of puppies and was drawn to them but also wasn't sure if our family was ready to add a second dog at the time. I casually inquired about where the puppies came from and learned that they were living on the streets in Stockton. Their young mom was beaten and starved, but Regina and her crew were eventually able to rescue all 10 of them plus mom from their unhoused abuser. The mom was not available for adoption yet due to her traumatic past but they were working with her and would bring her out when she was ready. Her story tugged on my heartstrings. Bringing home a dog is a lifetime commitment and I wanted to be absolutely certain the timing was right and that the pup we bring home was a good fit for our family. I was hesitant because we already had an upcoming vacation planned and I didn't want to board her so soon after bringing her home. Regina was patient and worked with us. She knows each and every one of her dog's personalities/quirks. She was spot on regarding Mochi and reassured us that Mochi would fit right in with our family after we brought her home for a meet and greet with our other dog. Regina offered to take care of Mochi during our trip and when we picked her up she was freshly bathed and happy! It's been 6 years and Mochi is the right where she was meant to be. Regina and the rest of her crew work tirelessly to give so many animals a second chance in life. We're so grateful that we met this wonderful organization by chance, because we stopped into PetSmart that fateful day to buy fish food. . read more

We adopted our dog, Jojo, from Finding A Best Friend Rescue and we couldn't be happier! Their application process is thorough and ensures that all pups go to great families, with questions around living environment, training & discipline approach, and overall reason to get a dog. Regina's passion for helping animals comes through her words and her actions as FABFR works tirelessly to help animals in need. Regina was also extremely responsive on text and answered tons of our questions before and after adoption. We have 2 little kids, another dog, and a cat and Jojo has been a complete angel with all of them, just the sweetest cuddle dog ever! I would 10000% adopt from FABFR again and recommend to all those looking to add a furry family member. read more

We saw a cute puppy on Petfinder and had to see her. Unfortunately the foster parents decided to keep her, but we were introduced to the pups sister. We saw her and were instantly in love.

Without Regina and her team, we never would've gotten our best friend Rollo. Without Regina, Rollo would've died. He's alive, healthy, happy, and full of joy every day. Regina doesn't give up when it comes to animal rescue, and her number one priority is animal well-being. Whether you want to adopt and animal in need or volunteer at a rescue making a difference, Finding A Best Friend is the best place to do it. read more

We adopted our puppy Jack in 2021 from Finding a Best Friend rescue. Regina was amazing to work with. She is so clearly committed to her work. Jack had such a rough start to life and Regina and her staff gave him a second chance. I credit their care and rehabilitation with taking him from a scared and abused puppy to a sweet, mellow, and adored family pet. They take on lots of animals with significant medical needs and use volunteers and fosters to help as many animals as possible. read more

Regina and her team put their heart and soul into running this rescue. They live and breathe animals and go to extreme lengths to make sure that their animals go to good homes. They take in animals that would otherwise have no chance and nurse them back to health. The adoption process is thorough and really makes sure it's a good fit for the animal and the person or family. I got my two babies from them and fostered some feral pups for them. I'm thankful that they're off the streets and living their best lives with me, thanks to finding a best friend rescue. read more

This time United me with my best boy about six years ago. Since establishing a connection with them, I've always come to them when I find a puppy or dog in need in Stockton. Unfortunately that is too high a count, and they can't take them all in, but I always receive the best guidance possible in helping me make sure that the strays I find are either reunited with their owners or make their way to their furever home. The care that each member puts into each animal is unparalleled, and it is not an easy job to do all that they do for the hurting and pained animals in the community. Many animals in Stockton get the brunt end of the stick facing the worst of humanity and Finding a Best Friend makes sure that that is not their future, that their pain stays in their past, and that they are truly given a second chance at a complete and fulfilling life. read more

Thanks to this rescue, I was able to meet my baby Mayday. This was my first time ever adopting a dog on my own (as I have two other family dogs) and Regina made the process very clear and easy for me to understand. She was quick to get back to me and within a week of inquiring I was able to bring Mayday home, and even after adoption she is still helpful with any other questions I may have. I'm forever grateful for this rescue and will definitely be recommending to any potential pet parents! read more

We adopted our baby Cora from this shelter and we couldn't be happier. They give all their animals so much love, attention and care. They are raised with other dogs, cats and kids. The best doggies come from here. I recommend this shelter to everyone. read more
