Story
Meet Bianca 💥This sleek looking gal is Bianca, a Cane Corse Mastiff Mix, estimated to be about a year old.Now, Bianca came to us from an unfortunate situation. While we cannot even begin to imagine what all this poor girl had to go through prior to coming into our care. We will not sugarcoat anything - Bianca is a reactive dog. She does not do well around loud new environments, strangers, or other dogs. She has had a bit of specialized training that has helped a bit, but overall what this gal needs is a quiet, safe place, and consistency. Bianca is also an escape artist. She can and will climb over kennels and fencing if she feels so desired to. She is skittish around strangers and needs time and patience to warm up to you and feel comfortable. Once she trusts you? She acts like a lovesick puppy that wants nothing more than to be right at your side 24/7. She does pretty well on a leash, and enjoys brief walks around familiar areas. That being said, she cannot be around other dogs, regardless of it being in home or out in public. Bianca is not a dog that you will likely be taking with you out to socialize or play out in a dog park. She will need to be your little homebody. Bianca needs a home where she is the only pet. She cannot be in a home with children. She needs somewhere that’s quiet and safe while she gets accustomed to her new surroundings. With some hard work, dedication, and patience, this gal will easily be your ride or die for the rest of her days. 🐾

Story
Hello everyone, my name is Willow! I am a big, beautiful girl with a lot of energy who LOVES water! I am always on the go and looking for ways to have fun. I require a special home so please read all the information about me below:• I was part of a cruelty case from 2025. • I will NOT be a first come, first serve adoption. My potential adopter(s) will be required to meet me at least a couple of times before I will go home with them. • I have been on behavior medications for the last 9 months to help me cope in the shelter. I will need to continue medication after being adopted. Due to this I am required to go home with an adopter(s) who has an established veterinarian. • I am a BIG girl (over 80 pounds!) and don’t realize my size and like to fling my body around into people, dogs, furniture, etc. • I need to go to a home with kids who are at least teenage years and older. • I do well with other dogs but can be a pretty rough player. I will need a dog that can put up with my full body contact play. Sometimes I need help managing my play because I get too excited and don’t know when to take a break. • Due to my play style and drive I will not be sent home with another small dog or cats. • Be prepared to have an extensive conversation about your dog’s play style. Dog interactions with Willow will be based off this information to provide the best and safest experience for all dogs. If you are interested in meeting me, please come in to talk to an adoption counselor to see if I may be a good fit. If you have any dogs in the home, please bring them along as well to determine if we would be good friends. FWACC reserves the right to place me in the best fit home. Due to the extensive history and familiarity with this dog the screening process for this dog is more thorough. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

Story
Meet Big Papa Jonesy 🚀This handsome boy here is Big Papa Jonesy. This stunningly gorgeous boy is a 5 year old Cane Corso / All American Mix. Weighing in at a whopping 70lbs, this guy is more than able to be your scary dog privilege you’re looking for.Now, Jonesy came to us from a not super great living situation. We cannot even begin to imagine all the things this poor boy has gone through so far in his life. When he first came into the shelter, he was pretty shut down. Cowering in the corner, not wanting to move or be around anyone. Luckily, we were able to have a trainer take him for a couple weeks to work with him and help this lad build his confidence back. He came back pretty much a brand new dog afterwards. Jonesy still could use some gentle guidance. He isn’t a dog that would do well in a lot of households. He doesn’t do well with kids or other dogs (likely due to the situation we got him from). Due to this, we have not attempted cat testing. Jonesy can still be unsure about most strangers, so keep that in mind that he will likely not be the type of dog that you bring with you to most outings that would involve him being around a lot of other people. That said, however, Jonesy has a heart for adventure. Nothing gets him as excited as seeing you pull out that leash to take him on a walk. He makes frequent trips to local pet friendly stores to explore and for light socialization, but we are always vigilant and don’t let strangers come up and pet him without his consent. He does not do well around other dogs and will need to keep his distance from all of them. There’s no sugarcoating it - Jonesy is a reactive dog, and that is something that will likely never fully go away, even with more professional training. Jonesy’s ideal home is where he is your only pet. Preferably a quiet home with someone who has experience with reactive dogs or is willing to get some training to help both you and Jonesy learn the ropes together. While a lot of the things mentioned above might put you off considering him, Jonesy really does have a big heart underneath all that fear and trauma. Once he bonds with you, he is the most loyal companion one could ever ask for. This kinder soul is more than ready to find his peace at a forever home, one just for him. 🐾
