Story
Hello humans!My name is Lonnie and let me tell you a little about myself. You see, I'm a more mature pup that was surrendered to FDHS back in September after I was left by my owner who never returned. I'm not taking it personal though, I know I'm a good boy and it wasn't my fault. But now I'm looking for a forever home where I'll be treated like family and never left behind again. Don't let my age deter you! I'm in great shape and play as hard as any of these other pups. I burn off a lot of energy while playing so lots of treats are apreciated! I just have the benefit of being house-trained and experience living as a member of the family. I catch onto manners very quickly and am eager to please! Not only that, but I promise to be a loving and loyal companion to our family. I'm looking for a home where I get lots of pets and belly rubs. I seem to get along better with the calmer dogs, as the more reactive ones tend to get me worked up. I don't know if I've ever been around cats or other small animals, so slow introductions with any other pets is a MUST! I get along great with people of all ages.Did I mention I give the best kisses? If I sound like I could potentially be your cup of tea, fill out an application for me today!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on all vaccines & monthly prevention. He weighs about 64 lbs**

Story
'McCoy the Good Boy', that's what the folks around here call me. I’ve become pretty familiar with the kennels of FDHS in my lifespan. You see, I was born here six years ago and found my first home when I was just a pup. I spent about four years there but kept getting into trouble with the neighborhood cats and small animals so that family decided that it was best for my to find someone could keep me away from smaller critters. After a few months of being here back in 2021 I found the most awesome home with a really great man. Despite my quirks he loved me like no other and gave me a great home and became my Dad. Unfortunately, my Dad got really sick and as much as we loved each other, he knew I needed to find another family that could give me the care I need. I’m really sad to be back and miss my Dad. The nice girls at the shelter assure me that I won’t be here long and they’re going to find me a family to help heal my heart and love me just as much as Dad did. In the meantime, I’ll be waiting in my kennel waiting for that family to come. **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 65 pounds.**

Hello world! My name is Keanu Reeves (the dog version), but you can just call me Keanu! Although I'm not stealing the spotlight on the big screen, I am aiming to steal a spot on your couch!I was surrendered to the nice people at FDHS about 2 months ago after my previous owner could no longer keep me. I wasn't in the best of condition when I arrived, I was pretty skinny and missing some hair. In the time that I've been here I look like a completely different dog! I'm a sturdy boy with a large head and a tail that NEVER stops wagging. I really am the happiest of boys. I've done pretty well in the shelter environment. I'm always eager to meet new human friends and I love to run around in the fenced yard out back. I can get a little sassy with some of the more "intense" dogs but I think with slow and proper introductions, I wouldn't mind having a canine sibling. I did very well when I was cat-tested and would likely be totally fine going to a home with them. The staff praises me for keeping a clean kennel (other than the occasional mud from my paws...I like to play!) and I do excellent with routine. Overall, I'm a big goofy guy that's just looking for my fur-ever love....could it be you?**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 65 lbs**

Story
Laila is a 3yr old spayed female Boxer/ Pitbull mix. Laila came to us as part of a cruelty case. Laila was loved but never received vet care or proper food. She had a terrible flea infestation and was missing a lot of hair. She was also thin and needed wormed. She has now been fully vetted and has put on some much needed weight. For everything she has been through Laila is still a very kind and gentle girl. She eagerly wants to please you and should quickly learn new commands. She has some energy but also calms down nicely. She is good with her food and happily shares toys and treats. She has been through enough and now deserves to live the good life. She seems very well house trained. She is up to date on shots and wormed. She is already spayed. The adoption fee is $200. If interested in meeting this cutie, please email heritagefarms08@gmail.com or call the foster at 419-779-0862 . She is being fostered in Ottawa Lake, Michigan.

Luna loves to play fetch and give affection. She's a playful, energetic, happy dog who wants to be around people and once she gets to meet you be part of your family. Unfortunately we're too busy to give her the attention she needs and would be better suited for someone who works from home or has space and time to get her outside to exercise and play with her regularly (fenced yard may also be a good option). She looks like boxer (slight underbite), lab and pointer all came together. Loves playing with kids and other dogs. Put $30 as that is the cost of this listing. May reduce it significantly if we feel comfortable with placement (good home). Thank you!

Oh, Miss Bailey!Bailey is the cute tan and white lady that's been hanging around our facility for the last 9 months. Although she's definitely a favorite for us, we still can't figure out why she's been here so long. Bailey originally came to FDHS back at the end of June 2023 as a stray and was never reclaimed by her family. She was very nervous when she first got here but quickly stole the heart's of employees and volunteers. If her perfect little triangle ears don't have you swooning, than her giant heart and sloppy kisses definitely will. She's a younger, active dog that would love to be in a home where she can keep her brain and body busy! She's prone to some separation anxiety and can be destructive if she doesn't have something to keep her occupied. Bailey would also need a home willing to go on lots of leash-walks or allowing her to have space to burn some energy. She seems to be a bit of an escape artist so a secure back yard would be ideal! Bailey also demands you have a high toy budget because she loves to chew tuff toys to keep her brain active and her teeth healthy!Preferring the life as a solo animal, Bailey is perfect for someone looking for a dog to keep them company. She promises to be a loving and loyal companion to a family that's willing to give her patience and structure. **Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs approximately 60 pounds**

Meet Princess Jasmine, an enchanting pup on a quest to find her forever home.Jasmine waltzed into our lives as a shy stray. Although she takes just a few beats to warm up, when she does, get ready for a symphony of sweetness and a whole lot of puppy kisses! She transforms from a timid lady to the most cuddly of companions.She's a younger girl that does not seem to had a ton of socialization in her short life. With some love and patience, she has a ton of potential to blossom into the friendly, out-going, happy girl we know that she can be. In the shelter, Jasmine can be selective with other dogs, especially other females. She doesn't seem to mind the boys as long as they're polite and respect her space! Jasmine has not been a fan of kitties. Choosing Princess Jasmine means taking home perhaps the SWEETEST girl in the kennels. She promises to be a loyal best friend and offers unconditional love. Open your heart, open your home, and let Jasmine show you what a Good Girl truly is.** Weighs about 75 lbs. Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention **

Ears, ears, ears! Would you get a look at this pointy-eared boy!? Our good friend Patrick came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by his previous family. Patrick is not only super handsome, but he's super smart too! He's caught on quickly to the routine and the shelter and loves to show off his obedience skills for a treat or two. Patrick is a very attention driven dog and would thrive in a home where he can spend lots of time with his humans. He doesn't seem to mind the other shelter dogs and would likely do well in a home with a canine sibling. He has not yet been cat-tested and we will update his description once that is completed. **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**
