Our Mission

Pet Friends Inc is a non-profit, all volunteer animal rescue organization whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find permanent homes for lost and unwanted dogs and cats in southwestern Pennsylvania.  It is our goal to provide for the medical and physical needs of these animals; to provide educational activities and programs to help end the suffering caused by pet overpopulation; and to offer educational opportunities that will enhance the lives of people and their pets.​

Our goal is provide medical and physical support to lost and unwanted animals, and enhance the lives and well-being of these animals.  We strive to provide educational information to our community and surrounding areas to help end the suffering caused by pet over-population.  In doing so we hope to advocate for those who do not have a voice and do right by them to help provide a temporary sanctuary until the right person comes along and gives them a forever home.

On July 21st, Pet Friends purchased 4.6 acres of land on the corner of Mars Hill Road and Slaughter Hollow Road where we plan to build our own shelter. It is a beautiful piece of land with easy access. Our next step is to work on the design and budget of a building while raising enough funds to build.

When our building design is finalized, we will accept donations of building supplies.  Once built, we will accept donations of office furniture. Currently, we are unable to store these items.  We appreciate offers and will keep everyone informed of what and when we need these types of donations.  Until then, monetary donations are all we can accept!
