Story
https://foha.org/pet/ashland2021/ ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Hi, I’m Ashland — a gentle southern soul with endearing ears and a deep loyalty to those I trust. I’m all about peaceful walks, relaxing car rides, and cuddling up with my favorite humans. I walk beautifully on a harness and would love to be your nature-walking buddy. I’m shy at first, but once I feel safe, I become an affectionate companion who loves belly rubs and silly zoomies in the yard. Because I’m sensitive to new environments and fast introductions, I’m looking for a calm, adult-only home with an experienced adopter who understands dogs like me. I’ll thrive in a quiet, single-family home where I can be the only pet. HOW AM I WITH DOGS: I prefer to be the only pup in the home. Other dogs stress me out — I shine best solo! HOW AM I WITH CATS: Not a good match — please, no cats. HOW AM I WITH KIDS: I need a home without children. I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS: Sit and Down — no treats required, just love! MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: I do well in calm environments and adapt to routines. FOHA can provide more specifics. THINGS I LIKE: Long, quiet walks • Snuggling on the couch • Treats • Belly rubs • Riding in the car THINGS I DISLIKE: Crowds • Sudden noise • Fast introductions • City life • Other dogs on leash FOHA ADOPTION POLICIES AND PROCESS: https://foha.org/pet-adoption/adoption-policies/ ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), 1-month access to Petcademy (training & behavior support), slip lead leash, 1 bag of starter food, 1-month flea/tick & heartworm preventatives, diagnostic testing, and additional medical care as needed.

This sweet boy, a unique mix of Chow Chow : 31.4% American Pit Bull Terrier : 29.8% Labrador Retriever : 10.5% Golden Retriever : 4.7% Supermutt : 23.6% Here is Brody's DNA report CLICK HERE -->> DNA Breed and Health report. Brody has a heart as big as his personality. With his glossy black coat and soulful eyes, Brody is a loyal companion who’s ready to bring joy to the right family. Brody’s journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s made him the resilient, loving dog he is today. After bouncing between homes, he’s found his stride at Home At Last Sanctuary, Inc., where he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate, and house-trained pup. Brody’s a healthy, active boy, fully vaccinated and bursting with energy for fun and snuggles. He adores attention, curling up close for love and affection, but also has an independent streak, happily keeping an eye on the household from his favorite spot. Brody gets along wonderfully with other dogs once properly introduced, having shared space with eight foster pals and learned to shine in their company. His leash manners have improved tremendously, making walks a joy! While he’s great with kids who respect his boundaries (with adult supervision), he’d prefer a home without cats, as they’re not his cup of tea. This special pup has a knack for sensing your emotions, offering comfort when you need it most. His unique blend of Chow Chow independence and Pit Bull empathy makes him a one-of-a-kind companion—ready to be your loyal sidekick and cuddle buddy. Due to breed restrictions, Brody can’t be placed where his breeds are restricted, but for the right home, he’s a treasure waiting to be discovered.

Chow Chow

Female, Adult

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Muffy came into my life after her previous owner passed, and she’s proven to be one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I’ve ever known. While she’s shy at first, this loyal girl becomes a total lovebug once she trusts you. She’s very well-behaved, masters tricks like “spin” and “high-five,” and adores daily walks or hikes. Muffy would thrive in calm, quiet home with 1-2 adults who understand her cautious nature. She’d do best in a home without cats or small children. She could enjoy a home with another friendly dog if it is the right fit (she can be particular about other dogs but there are some that she really loves). A securely fenced yard is a must, as she loves being outside. Muffy’s heart is full of love; she just needs the right person to give her time and space to share it. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who’ll repay your patience with endless devotion, Muffy is your girl.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Marge is the kind of girl who may take a minute to warm up, but once she does, she wants to be right where her people are. She’s still a shy little thing, but she’s making great progress and her sweet personality shines through more every day. She absolutely loves to eat, has started getting playful with the dogs in her foster home, and would do great in a home with other friendly dogs to help show her the ropes. She’s also seen cats in the neighborhood and couldn’t care less about them. Marge walks beautifully on a leash and will happily stroll right beside you like she’s been doing it forever. She’s doing really well with house training, uses the doggy door, and has earned the trust of her foster family when left loose in the home. Crates are not her thing and she made that opinion very clear, so her foster stopped trying. Thankfully, she’s been a perfect lady in the house and hasn’t shown any destructive habits. One of her cutest little quirks is the way she cocks her head when you talk to her like she’s hanging on every word. Marge is a gentle, sweet girl who just needs a family willing to give her a little patience and a lot of love. Once she knows she’s safe, she’ll be your quiet little shadow. $300 adoption fee covers spay, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Apply at FullCircleRescueandSanctuary.com
