History

Lois Corwin had recently settled in Rock County when she encountered the distressing tales of neglected and homeless animals. She, along with her husband Mert, had relocated from Cincinnati to rural Edgerton shortly after General Motors shut down.

Getting acquainted with the locals, Corwin discovered that many were grappling with the tough decision of either feeding themselves or their pets.

It was then that Lois, who had worked 35 years in the corporate world, decided to start Friends of Noah.

In addition to rescuing, fostering, and rehoming close to 100 dogs and cats each year, Friends of Noah also supports countless local families through a variety of programs.

Mission

Friends of Noah is committed to providing new opportunities for stray and abandoned animals through placement into permanent homes, educating the public, and offering assistance to pet owners struggling to provide for their pets.

“Friends of Noah has a full-circle approach to rescue. If we can also help animals stay in their original homes, then we can help reduce the number of animals who become stray and abandoned in the first place.”
