My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Carmelo and Nala are two beautiful, bonded dogs in search of a forever home, together. They are not currently at our rescue center but are in a loving foster home after being saved from ending up in an open-door shelter. While they are safe for now, this is only temporary, and they urgently need adopters to give them the lifelong security they deserve. Carmelo is a four-year-old neutered male, and Nala is a three-year-old spayed female. Both are microchipped, crate trained, potty trained, and wonderful with children and other dogs. They recently received updated vaccinations and are thriving under care, but they long for a permanent family to call their own. Carmelo and Nala are deeply bonded and would love to stay together. They are two very loyal companions ready to bring double the love and joy to their new home. If you can give them that chance, please apply to adopt with the application below and email fido@famousfidorescue.com for more information.
