We are thrilled to introduce you to the most gentle and loving girl we have here the Forest County Humane Society—meet the wonderful Laney! She is spayed and ready for her new home.

Frazier
Male Lab mix Needs to be an Only Dog
Meet Frazier, the ultimate furry tornado of joy! This young, loyal, and ridiculously smart pup prefers the spotlight as the only animal in the house. He’s potty-trained, soon-to-be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and all his lab work will be done—talk about a package deal! Frazier would love an active couple or a family with older kids to match his boundless energy (and to keep up with his zoomies). He’s a big-hearted boy just waiting to steal your couch and your heart! SL268240.
Riley
Young Adult Male Shepherd
Crandon, WI
Not an apartment dog
SPONSOR MY FOOD HERE
Meet Riley! Riley is not only gorgeous and sweet, but also HUGE—about 120 pounds of pure love. He’s not quite ready for his new home yet, as he’s waiting for his veterinary appointment, but applications are being accepted so he can be adopted once he’s cleared. He needs a strong person to walk him and a fenced yard to roam. He’s almost the size of a Shetland pony—just kidding, but close—and definitely needs space to move around. Riley is a fantastic dog, so get your application in ASAP! SL268240
For the best response to an inquiry about this animal, please fill out an application and return it to us. To find our application form click HERE. Thank you!
ALL puppies have to have a cash deposit left that you will receive back when you neuter or will be applied to neuter when they are old enough. Sorry for the change but we have had issues with PayPal cancelations and worthless checks being used.
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
Dodger
Whippet/Bull Terrier Mix
Meet the dashing Dodger! This wonderful young adult mixed breed is bursting with energy and playfulness. Dodger is great on a leash but has a knack for being an escape artist. His ideal home would be with someone who leads an active lifestyle and has plenty of space for him to burn off his energy. He is dog selective and due to his deep prey drive for catching rodents, or rabbits, he has to be an only pet. He may do well in a home where he is the smallest dog, and proper introduction. But, if he gets off his leash or out of his fenced yard, he absolutely will follow his nose to find a rabbit or squirrel, and you will never catch him again. He is a lover, and a great little dog but he has hunting fever and there is no stopping him. He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, has completed blood work, and has been vet-checked. If you’re ready to meet the charming Dodger, submit your application ASAP! SL268240
Korra
Senior Mixed Breed
Meet Miss. Korra. Korra is our little senior girly that is used to being an only diva in her domain. She will need a friendly face in a low traffic lifestyle to live her best life. She thrives on attention from her family and people she trusts. She walks well on her leash and is totally potty trained. She can't be a girly that goes to dog parks or walked in high traffic areas. She is a gentle sweetie that cries when you leave her but just needs to be an only pet. If you think you can offer her a life where she can be the only little lap lover, please get me your application ASAP.

Hector
7-month-old Pyrenees mix
Meet Hector! Hector is a big sweet, fluffy ball of love. He is an extremely gentle boy that is scared of his own shadow. He is neutered, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and would great in a home with an energetic home. He would not be a good dog for an apartment due to his size and breed. But would do well with children, other dogs and a slow introduction to cats, due to being a herding breed. To meet Hector, get me your application ASAP. SL268240
Nutty Nette
Female Adult Terrier
Nette us an incredibly sweet girl that is fully vetted and ready to find her forever home. She absolutely has to be an only pet and is afraid of some men.

Vienna
Adult Female Shepherd mix
Meet the Gorgeous Vienna! Vienna came to us full of porcupine quills that were very infected and she has now healed enough to be able to be fixed and find her forever home.

She is a very special girl. To meet Miss Vienna, please get me your application ASAP.

Piper
Young Female Adult Mixed Breed
Meet Piper! Piper is a beautiful, intelligent young adult female looking for her forever home. Like Bindi, she’s an Olympian-level jumper and runner.

She’s potty trained, very affectionate, and loves attention. Sometimes she can get overexcited, channeling her energy into jumping and twirling like a doggy ballerina. She needs a patient home to help her find a good outlet for her enthusiasm. To meet Piper, submit your application ASAP. SL268240

Mystic
Adult German Shepherd Mix
Meet Mystic! She’s a stunning girl who needs to be the only diva in the home. She adores her family but isn’t suited for apartment living or trips to the dog park, as she doesn’t get along with other dogs.

If you’d like to meet her, send in your application right away. SL 268240

Bindi
Meet Bindi! She’s a young adult female mix bursting with energy and affection. A talented high jumper, she might even have the skills of an Olympic superstar. Potty trained and fond of spending time in the yard, she’s a sweet dog who needs to be the only female or introduced to others in a controlled setting, as all dogs should be. Bindi would thrive in an active home with a fenced yard or a ten-by-ten enclosure where she can go out unsupervised. She loves people and soaking up attention. If she sounds like the perfect match, send in your application to meet her!
