Available Dogs
Dog of the Month
Zeus
Zeus is a heartworm survivor! He’s an amazing medium-sized dog with plenty of energy and strength. Zeus isn’t fond of some men and would do best as the only pet in a household without children. For a single-family home with no pets or kids, Zeus could be the perfect companion and a loyal friend! SL268240
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!
Bindi
Young Adult Shepherd Mix
Female Mixed Breed
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!

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
Kiara
Adult Shepherd Mix
Meet Kiara! As you can see, Kiara is an amazingly sweet girl that loves her yard and play time. She is not ready to go to her forever home yet, but we are adding her on here so she can be looking while she is waiting for her veterinarian appointment. She is a great girl.
SL268240
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 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
Meet Chowder
female, altered three year old, potty and crate trained
Meet Chowder, the chunky whirlwind with the spirit of a lion! She's a quick learner who could probably teach you a thing or two, but she needs some guidance to channel her boundless energy. A fenced yard is a must because Chowder doesn't believe in boundaries—literally. Her dream human is an adventure-loving individual or couple ready for car rides, ball-throwing marathons, and outdoor escapades. Chowder prefers to be the queen of her castle, so she’d thrive as the only dog in the home. Given her strength, an adult-only household is recommended. Bonus: she's heading to dog training soon to polish her already charming personality. Contact me ASAP to meet this four-legged dynamo! SL268240
Banner
Blue Tick Hound
Meet Banner! Banner is a great big lovable boy with a jiggle in his neck wiggle. He is great with other dogs and people. He is about one year old and would do well in a home with an active lifestyle to be able to allow him to follow his nose around while being supervised...otherwise, his nose will surely lead him into trouble. <3 To meet Banner get us your application ASAP.
SL268240
Meet Brody! Brody is a handsome mixed-breed pup currently at the Forest County Humane Society, hoping his forever family will find him soon. He's strong, full of energy, and absolutely amazing in every way! Submit your application now—Brody might just be the perfect boy you’ve been searching for!
SL268240
Percy
Male Mixed Breed
Meet Percy! This spirited retriever mix is brimming with energy and eager to find his forever home. Friendly and irresistibly charming, he could use a touch of manners training, as his boundless enthusiasm makes him a bit bouncy right now. Though still mastering his “proper etiquette,” his affectionate heart is undeniable. If you’re ready to welcome Percy, submit your application today! Sl268240
Obsidian
male mixed breed ten months old
Meet Obsidian! This charming little sweetheart loves attention and is full of affection. He adores belly rubs and cherishes quality time with his favorite person. Friendly with both people and other dogs, Obsidian would flourish in an active home that keeps him engaged and helps channel his energy. He’s ready to be the perfect companion for your next adventure—just grab the leash and go! Submit your application today. SL268240
Shih tzus That ARE ready for their forever homes. New Pictures coming soon!
Curly Sue
Maggie
Emily
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 could probably do the high jump and catapult over a fence—just kidding! But she’s full of energy, and her perfect home would be with someone who has an active lifestyle. 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
Pumpkin Jack
Male Mixed breed
Meet Jack! This lovable, big-hearted boy was abandoned at FCHS on Halloween. He’s a sweet, wiggly bundle of joy and a true cuddle enthusiast. Around four years old, he is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had his blood work done. Jack is Lyme-positive but is currently receiving treatment. Although we don't know much about him, we know he deserves a wonderful life where his family will treasure him for the wonderful dog he is. If you’d like to welcome this gentle giant into your home, please submit your application as soon as possible.

Big Baby Blue
Male
Meet Big Blue Baby! Bluey is one of the sweetest dogs around, but here’s the catch—he absolutely, 100% must be an only dog. This means finding someone who understands his needs, keeping him away from dog parks and stores, and making sure he has a secure fenced yard for potty breaks and exercise. He’s incredibly people-friendly, but his past wasn’t ideal, and he’s used to fending for himself. This gorgeous big boy needs someone who can protect him just as much as he would protect you. I won’t waver on these requirements. If you think you can meet his unique needs, please send in your application. SL268240
Newt
7-month-old Male Mixed Breed
Meet Newt, a gentle and affectionate young boy eagerly awaiting his forever home. Though he still needs to be neutered, Newt’s sweet and shy personality shines through, making him an ideal companion for a loving family. With his warm heart and quiet charm, he’s ready to settle into a safe and caring environment where he can thrive. If you believe Newt could be the perfect addition to your family, don’t hesitate to send in your application today. SL268240
Merle Haggard
Great Pyrenees mix
Merle is the last puppy left in his litter and is waiting patiently for his forever family to find him. He’s a wonderful young pup, about five months old, who will grow to be very large and needs a home that can meet his needs. He’s a big, goofy boy who doesn’t realize his size yet. Since he’s still a puppy, he’s not fully potty trained and will need a fenced yard or similar setup. Even though he’s a guardian dog, he needs someone to be his guardian too. He’s a domesticated boy who can’t just be left outside to live his life. He’s never been outdoors, and we’re determined to find him an indoor home where he can thrive. If he sounds like the right fit, please send in your application.

Sweet Caroline
Maltese
Not ready yet but will be getting spayed soon. We are accepting applications.
Meet our lil Mamma, Sweet Caroline, an incredibly sweet and beautiful little girl! She lovingly raised a gorgeous litter of puppies and is now almost ready to be spayed and find her forever home. She is the gentlest little sweetheart, and it’s hard to resist adopting her myself. Truly amazing, she would thrive best in a home without small children due to her tiny size and will need guidance in learning to walk on a leash. She has been using the small pen in the yard here and piddle pads. If you’d like to be considered for Sweet Caroline, please submit your application as soon as possible.

Tater
Young Male Mixed Breed
Meet Tater! Tater is highly energetic, and would do best with an owner meeting that same energy. He would do well with a non-dominant female dog or as an only dog. He is a dog that needs someone with dog experience to be able to help him meet his potential as an amazing, loyal companion. To meet Tater, please get me your application ASAP.

Beaver
young Husky/Lab Male
Meet Beaver, the one-year-old ball of energy who thinks he’s part Olympic sprinter, part traffic cop. Great with kids and people, he’s also a champion escape artist with a soft spot for chasing cars (don’t worry, he’s working on it). This lovable goofball will thrive with a secure setup—fenced yard, sturdy enclosure, or a trusty tie-out. Beaver’s just waiting, tail wagging, for his forever family to zoom into his life. <3
