Story
Meet Lawrence – 19 months, 40 pounds. Lawrence is a very special dog looking for an equally special home. Life has been a little scary for him, so he’ll need a patient, understanding family to help him feel safe. Though shy and timid, Lawrence absolutely lights up around other dogs, and a confident canine companion could be the key to unlocking his full potential. Underneath his shyness, he’s incredibly sweet, playful, goofy—and can definitely be a couch potato. Once he starts to trust, his silly side comes out, and he’s happiest when lounging near his people or playing with a dog buddy. If you believe in second chances, have a calm environment, and are willing to give Lawrence the time and support he needs, you might just be his perfect match.     For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  September 29, 2025, 3:50 pm

Story
Stanley is nine tiny pounds of sweetness, just a year old and still figuring out that the world can be a safe, gentle place. He starts off a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a moment and you’ll see his whole personality unfold — soft, curious, and so ready to trust. Once he warms up, he’s the kind of little guy who sticks close, watches everything you do, and quietly melts into your heart without even trying. He’s easy to love, easy to carry, and easy to make happy. Stanley is looking for someone patient and kind who will let him settle in at his own pace. If you’re the type who appreciates a tender soul and loves watching a shy dog blossom, this little nine&#226&#128&#145pound sweetheart might be your perfect match.   For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  February 7, 2026, 11:13 pm

Meet Lady Lady is a sweet, scruffy terrier mix with soulful eyes and a gentle heart. We believe she’s still a young pup, approximately 1 year old, and weighs 55 pounds, a perfect medium size. She’s affectionate, curious, and still learning about the world, so she’ll do best with a family ready to provide patience, structure, and love. With guidance, Lady will grow into a loyal, wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a young dog with lots of potential and personality, Lady could be the one.

Story
Meet this sweet little guy! We believe he may be a Spaniel or Papillon mix, around 4 years old and about 15 pounds—perfect lap-sized companion energy. He’s a bit shy when you first meet him and may take a minute to warm up, but once he does, his gentle and loving personality really shines. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and would do best with someone patient who understands that good things are worth waiting for. If you’re looking for a loyal, soft-hearted buddy to grow with, he could be your perfect match.

Story
Our ‘Irish eyes are smiling’ as we introduce our new wee Irish puppies. Meet: Caitlin, O’Brien, O’Connor, O’Malley, and O’Reilly These adorable little leprechauns are just 7 weeks old, but will be ready to go to their new homes just in time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Their Mama Goldie is a Maltese/poodle mix and we think her puppies look a lot like her. If they follow my mama’s footsteps, they will more than likely be around 20 pounds when full grown. They are happy little pups who love to play, explore and give puppy kisses. They would love to find a special forever family to call their own. Whoever adopts these little ones will certainly have the ‘Luck of the Irish’ on their side. We’re looking for adopters who understand that puppies need a lot of attention. Adopters should have plenty of time to invest in training and exercising the puppies to help them be the best dogs they can be. Adopters will ideally be located in the Orange County area since the puppies will need to be spayed/neutered at our local vet when they are 6 months old. If you’re ready to add puppy joy to your home, please visit our website and complete the online adoption application.http://www.fochp.org/dogapplication.php   For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  March 4, 2026, 8:49 pm
