Alicent was pulled with three other members of her family from a neglect/hoarding case. This beautiful, social dog, assumed to be a heeler/hound mix, had spent the first 3 years of her life alone and on a chain. We were heartbroken but not suprised when she and her 2 companions Rhaenyra and Miss Missy all tested heartworm positive, and we buckled in for the long haul, dedicated to making sure they completed their treatment before moving onto their next home.
That was 7+ months ago. The difficult part is over now - the months of kennel rest, medications, injections, the waiting game. It's now time for Alicent to find her forever home!
Alicent's littermate has gone on to thrive in a home with children of various ages, another dog, and cats, and we think Alicent may do well in a similar environment. Alicent keeps a clean kennel, is improving her leash skills, and is a friendly, happy, and silly dog who loves to play, run, and enjoys her treats. Because she had been kept in isolation for so long, she was confused by the prospect of a doggy friend, but she now plays and bounces with the best of them.
Alicent enjoys soft beds, Nylabones, and will chew on a bone for hours. She has an old leg injury, but she does not let it stop her athletic prowess.
If you think this affectionate, vivacious, and surviving soul might be a good fit for you and your family, please come and meet her! She's been at FFAA since the beginning of May 2025, and the sooner the better for her to move on to the next chapter of her life.

More about this shelter
Faithful Friends Animal Advocates, Inc is a non-profit organization committed to helping our community become a place where animals are treated with kindness and respect. Further, we want to be a voice for the welfare of animals in our community through various avenues.
We fulfill these goals by taking in homeless and vulnerable animals, rehabilitating, vetting, and preparing them for their future home, and ensuring that they are a good fit for those interested. Our goal is longevity - we are thorough when approving applications because we want their next home to be forever.
Our pledge to the animals under our charge knows no time limits. Our no-kill mission means that as long as it takes, we will keep searching for their perfect home. And if during that search, they need to rejoin our care, we welcome them with open arms no matter how long it has been.
People
From our paid staff to volunteers that support us at events and throughout the week, the dedicated and passionate community members that are involved in FFAA's mission are what keep us going. We always welcome new faces! If you are interested or know someone who would like to support our efforts, please contact us. We could not do it without our foster families, dog walkers, kennel cleaners, puppy and kitten socializers, event organizers, artists, chefs - everything we do is a group effort and thanks to the time and effort given freely and faithfully year after year.
