Story
Fiona needs a new foster or foster-to-adopt home. About three years old, Fiona came from a large hoarding situation. She is a shy, gentle girl who needs TLC and time to get comfortable in a home. Fiona loves other dogs and we would like to see her in a home with at least one other dog. The activity level of small children would scare her, so an adult home or one with older children would be ideal. She needs a home with a securely fenced yard, and a family who has experience and patience. To foster or foster-to-adopt Fiona please fill out our application - https://www.furryfriendsct.org/foster-application NOTE: Foster or foster-to-adopt families must be located within the state of Connecticut.

Story
Frank (aka "Frankie Doodle Dandy") is a spunky and lovable 2yo (estimated) that is ready to meet his forever family. He was found as a stray just before Thanksgiving, and wouldn't let us get anywhere near him for the first couple days. As he's warmed up to us we've found that he's 50lb of pure snuggles and would prefer to be next to somebody getting pets 100% of the time. He's great on a leash (no pulling or reactivity), gets along well with other dogs, and is potty trained. He sleeps in the crate at night, and after a few minutes of whining, he settles in for the night and sleeps without a peep for 8+hrs. We haven’t seen him around babies/toddlers but he is gentle with kids 5yo+. We've loved watching his personality flourish as he's settled into our home over the last several weeks. He's still figuring out toys and is not super interested in them, but is perfectly happy chewing on a bone for an hour. His foster humans work from home so he's used to getting some attention throughout the day, but is fine for longer stretches in the crate here and there (up to 6hrs). He's very food motivated and is always excited for a snack. Frank loves when we sing, often jumping up and "dancing" on his hind legs. Frank is being fostered in the Huntsville, Alabama area. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. If you are interested in meeting him please fill out a non-binding application and his foster parents will be in touch.

Story
🐾 Meet Ash! 🐾 Sweet Ash is a 1.5-year-old Lab mix with the gentlest soul. She’s had a rough start — she came from a home where a renter kept over 20 dogs before abandoning them all. Despite everything she’s been through, Ash is slowly learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and part of a family. 💛 Ash weighs about 32 pounds, making her a perfect medium-sized companion. She’s a little shy at first, but once she warms up, her soft, loving personality shines. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and having a confident dog friend in her new home could help her continue to blossom. Ash is being fostered in Huntsville, AL through Friends of Rescue and is available for transport to approved adopters. If you’re ready to change a life — and gain a loyal, gentle companion in return — Ash is waiting. 🐶✨ 📍 Apply here: www.forrescue.net
