Tri-Valley Animal Rescue (TVAR) was founded in 1992 and is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving the East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area). We primarily support the East County Animal Shelter (ECAS) in Dublin, CA to help owners locate their missing pets and to assist people selecting a pet to adopt. Tri-Valley Animal Rescue also places animals from ECAS and other area shelters in foster care in the homes of TVAR volunteers while trying to find them perrmanent homes. Although we do not have a facility of our own, we help over 1000 animals find forever homes yearly through the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. We have a variety of volunteer programs including a shelter program and four foster programs. We are always looking for more volunteers – especially fosters. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please check out our volunteer page (http://www.tvar.org/RP_WebDoc.asp?ttid=171) for information.
