About the ASTRO Foundation
Turning Passion Into Action
ASTRO Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization formed in 2012 dedicated to rescuing homeless dogs and cats from the areas of Oakdale and Riverbank. By working with a network of volunteers, foster caregivers, and local veterinarians, ASTRO Foundation is able to rescue hundreds of animals every year. The ASTRO Thrift & Gift Shop is located at 650 East E Street in Oakdale and all proceeds from the incredible shop directly benefit our rescue animals. We opened our first ever, ASTRO Foundation Adoption Center located at 157 N. Fifth Avenue in Oakdale in December of 2021. The Adoption Center is open from 9:00am - 5:00pm. The ASTRO Foundation is proudly supported by Petco Love and are so pleased to have cats and kittens available for adoption at Petco in Riverbank with weekend dog adoption events monthly! Our dream is to one day build a modern, no-kill shelter so that we can further serve our community and all of the animals in it.
Meet The Team
The ASTRO Foundation has an incredible Board of Directors, two full-time and one part time staff members and the most amazing team of volunteers.
Supporting Businesses
During our ten years serving Oakdale and Riverbank, the ASTRO Foundation has benefitted tremendously from overwhelming support and generosity from a variety of businesses. These entities share our passion, dedication and desire to improve our communities through animal rescue. This past year continued to challenge ASTRO, as well as these companies, making their ongoing commitment that much more special. Please join us in offering our sincerest appreciation to each of these businesses for all that they do to make ASTRO Foundation a success.
