Story
Michael was a stray. He is a good boy. He gets along with dogs, we have three other small dogs. He is very quiet, does not bark even if my dogs are barking. He loves to nap and sit with you. He also loves to move his dog bed around to find the perfect spot to nap. He loved to go for nice long walks around the neighborhood. He’s an old boy but still has lots of love to give.

Story
Loves dogs!!!Meet Ben Ben is a 2-year-old, 15-pound sweetheart who’s still learning to trust the world. He’s very, very shy and needs a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space to come out of his shell. Ben isn’t the kind of dog who will jump into your lap on day one—but with consistency, love, and a gentle approach, he’ll slowly start to show his soft, sweet side. He’s looking for a quiet home where he can feel safe, and ideally with someone who’s experienced with shy or fearful dogs. If you believe in second chances and the power of patience, Ben just might be the one you’re meant to love.   For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  October 1, 2025, 7:46 pm

Story
Loves other dogs!!Meet Geri – The Little Dog with a Big Heart (Once You Earn It) Geri is a petite 8-pound sweetheart, about two years old, with a gentle soul that blossoms when given time and patience. She’s a “love on layaway” kind of girl — here’s what you can expect when welcoming her home: Day 1: She’ll keep her distance and quietly watch you from afar. Day 2: Curiosity will take over, and she’ll start exploring her new home. Day 3: She’ll take food from your hand, realizing you’re the bringer of good things. Day 4: You’ll have a tiny shadow who follows you everywhere, ready to be your new best friend. Geri is great with other dogs but doesn’t need them to thrive — she can be happy as your one-and-only or as part of a gentle pack. Because she’s easily startled by loud noises, she’d do best in an adult-only home or one without young children. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in earning a shy dog’s trust, Geri will be the most rewarding friend you’ve ever had   For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  October 1, 2025, 7:46 pm

Story
Meet Calvin! A 1 1/2 year old Chihuahua mix weighing about 10lbs with a big survivor's spirit. Found as a stray, this clever pup has come a long way from his feral days. With patient training, Calvin's learned to trust humans and now loves walks, mealtime, and playtime with other dogs. He's a crate fan and needs time to warm up to new folks, but his sweet side shines once he does. Calvin's perfect for experienced dog owners in Orange County, where his trainer can keep working with him and his new family during his transition. He'd thrive in a calm family home with another dog to play with. Interested in meeting Calvin?

Story
Meet Remi & Harley – Two Special Souls, One Unbreakable Bond   Remi (female) and Harley (male) are an extraordinary pair looking for a forever home together. Both around 3 years old, they were born without their front legs—but don’t tell them that, because it doesn’t slow them down from enjoying life and sharing love.   These two are incredibly bonded and bring comfort and joy to each other’s lives. They are quiet, gentle dogs who thrive in a calm environment and get along beautifully with other dogs. Their resilience and sweet nature are truly inspiring, and whoever adopts them will gain two loyal companions with hearts of gold.   Remi and Harley’s special needs mean they’ll do best with a family ready to give them the extra care and support they deserve, but the love they give in return is beyond measure.   About Remi & Harley:   Age: ~3 years old Bonded pair – must be adopted together Dog-friendly Quiet and gentle personalities Born without front legs (special needs, but full of life and love)     These two are proof that love knows no limits.
