Story
Bernard was born to a female Husky named Princess on 11/10/2023. He is mainly Husky, with a hint of a Pitbull Terrier. Main reason of why my wife and I can no longer take care of bernard is that he keeps hurting himself out at our new home in Madera, CA; we currently life on a 2 acre ranch. First incident involved Bernard attempting to jump the neighbors fence to play with his friends (two Belgian Malinois). Bernard got himself caught on barbed wire on his back, and lower rib cage. It was a real bloody mess, and I had him treated at the Fresno Animal center. Total cost was $3,800, and it took me 3 weeks of nursing my Bernard back to health. Once he was healed of his horrific injuries, Bernard kept getting himself cut at the bottom of both rear legs. He keeps getting injured on our new home. I love Bernard, and I was wondering if someone could please adopt him. My wife and I can no longer keep healing our Bernard, do not want him to die. Bernard is a good boy, just dumb.

Story
Stitch was basically left at my house. He could no longer live with its owners about 1 1/2 years ago as they were in an apartment and he was growing since I have a large yard he came to my house and has not left. He is a dog that requires time to let him run and play. He is very playful. Unfortunately I have to move and the new house does not have a huge yard for me to be able to take him with me. Hoping he finds a loving home he is a great companion.

Story
Meet Trixie: Mama Dog, Snuggle Queen, and Forever Friend in Waiting   Trixie came into our lives back in May of 2023, full of hope and carrying something even more preciousa belly full of puppies. She gave birth to a beautiful litter and watched with joy as every one of her babies found a loving forever home. But while their stories began, hers is still waiting to be written.   Trixie is around 3.5 years old and has all the energy and playfulness of a pup with the heart of a wise old soul. She loves kids and thrives on companionship, whether it's chasing a ball, playing tug-of-war, or curling up next to you for cuddle time. Shes fully potty trained, rides great in the car, and adores being involved in whatever her humans are up to.   Shes a confident, affectionate girl who knows what she wantsand what she wants most is a home where she can be someones one and only. While Trixie would do best as the only dog in the home, she can do well with calm, respectful dogs her size with a proper introduction. She just prefers a slower-paced dog friendship and isnt a fan of pushy playmates. Cats, however, are a no-go.   This sweet girl has spent nearly two years waiting. Not because she isnt amazingbut because the right fit just hasnt come along yet. Trixie isnt just a good dog. Shes a great one. Shes done her job raising her babies, and now its her turn to be the center of someones world. Please visit our website www.fmas.info to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
