Oscar
Male Corgi mix
Meet Oscar! Oscar is an amazing little guy that is here waiting for his forever home. He is sweet and playful, walks well on a leash and would do well in just about any home with adults only. He is touch sensitive, meaning he would not do well with little kids touching abruptly, but does well with adults that respect his personal boundaries. Other than that, he is a great little guy looking for a home with no children. For more information, please get ahold of us and get me your application ASAP. All applications will be processed but allow us time because we are short staffed. We do not go with the first application, but we look for the family that can best meet each animal's needs.

Meet Kai
Mixed Male
Partially Sponsored Adoption to Approved Homes!
Meet Kai! He is not your typical lab mix. He is very strong, very high energy, stubborn and a picky eater. He walks well on a leash but will need a very active family. He gets bored easy and always needs something to engage him. He is very intelligent and protective of everything he loves. He would do best in a family with no small children because he is big and goofy and doesn't realize his size. He would do best as an only dog or someone that understands dog behavior. Because he is an attention hog and gets jealous easily. If you have the need for a bull-headed big lab mix boy, Kai is your dog. Get me your application ASAP.

All Animals that are too young to be altered prior to adoption must have a deposit left prior to adoption that will be returned to adopter at time of alter...details will be discussed at FCHS
Gaia
Meet the gorgeous Princess Gaia! She is an extremely vocal girl that loves to hear herself sing and is also extremely energetic! She isn’t the most fond girl of other dogs, so I’m thinking she wants a solo career singing to the beat of her own band. She is exceptionally sweet and would do best in a home with no children and an active lifestyle. She would require a fully fenced yard and no apartments or rentals due to the breed or size restrictions from most landlords.
If you would like to meet Princess Gaia, please get me your application ADAP.

Zeus
Adult Male boxer
Zeus is a heartworm SURVIVOR! Zeus is a wonderful, medium sized dog that has a lot of energy and strength. Zeus does not like some men and would be best as an only pet with no children. If you are a single-family home with no pets or children, Zeus is a great dog that will make someone a wonderful companion animal! He will need to be on heartworm preventatives and flea and tick preventatives for the rest of his life.

Meet Chowder
female, altered one year old, potty and crate trained
Meet Mr. Milo. Milo is an extremely energetic young boy that is fully vetted and waiting for his forever home. He is very playful and just needs a family that can help him run and play to get his energy out. He has never been around small children.

Mr. Milo
Young Male Mixed Breed
Meet Chowder. Chowder is a very strong spirited young girl that is a very quick learner and needs help with training. She is very high energy, and a fenced yard is a requirement. The perfect fit for Chowder would be a very active lifestyle person or couple that would want a dog to be a companion to go on car rides and play ball or take on walks or go camping. Chowder is dog selective so would do best as an only dog home. Since she is so strong, I would say an adult only home at this point. She will be going to dog training classes soon as well. To meet Chowder or learn more about her, please contact me ASAP. SL268240
Gunner
Black and Tan Coonhound
Meet this handsome boy, Gunner! Gunner is a typical Coon hound that loves to go for walks, runs, spending time with his human and letting his nose take him all over. For this reason, Gunner would need a fenced yard to get his energy out and not get lost following his nose.
