Story

Meet Rufus, a 5-year-old mixed breed who is long overdue for a home and someone to call his own. Hound Mix | About 5 yrs old | 60 lb Rufus originally came to FCAC from another shelter that ran out of space. When he first arrived there, he was in rough shape with a painful skin infection and patchy fur. After treatment, and a proper diet, he’s healing beautifully and his sweet personality is finally shining through! Rufus is friendly, loving, and full of personality! He can be a little reserved at first, which makes sense… he’s been through a lot. Once he knows you’re safe, he’s gentle and incredibly easy to love. Here’s what else you should know: Allergic to chicken — he does best on salmon-based food May need allergy meds (which FCAC can provide even after adoption!) Dog friendly with dogs closer to his size Needs a home without cats, small dogs, or small animals — he has strong hound instincts Expected to do well with children Rufus has been waiting far too long, and he deserves a family who will give him the comfort and stability he’s missed for so long. He’s healing, he’s hopeful, and he’s ready for his next chapter. If you’ve got room in your home, and in your heart, Rufus might just be your dog. Neutered | Microchipped I Heartworm & Lyme negative | Current on vaccinations & preventatives | Adoption fee is FULLY SPONSORED thanks to a generous donor. Interested in meeting and possibly adopting? Please start by submitting an application here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog Once submitted, staff will review your application. If approved, we'll reach out to schedule a meet and greet! If you have other dogs, they'll need to come as well to ensure compatability. If it’s a good fit, you may take your new best friend home that same day! We also offer a 2-week foster-to-adopt trial period to ensure it’s the right match for everyone.

Hi, I’m Sassy! About 2 Years Old • Mixed Breed Don’t let my name fool you, I’m nothing but sweet!

Story

Meet Buster! Approximately 3 Years Old | Boxer Mix | 50 lbs | Adoption Fee SPONSORED Buster arrived at our shelter bubbly, playful, and full of personality, and he immediately won hearts with his goofy curled tail and that cute boxer underbite. He loves people, sometimes gives kisses and soaks up every bit of attention he can get. He’s also potty trained and should do well with respectful kiddos! He hasn’t been officially tested with other dogs yet, but based on everything we’ve seen, we expect him to be dog friendly! However, Buster thinks chasing kitties is way too exciting, so he’ll need a home without cats inside! In his short time with us, we’ve watched his sparkle begin to fade... Buster is the kind of dog who thrives with people, not in a kennel. He’s ready for a home, a routine, a soft bed, and humans to call his own. Thanks to Suzanne’s Crochet Critters, his adoption fee is FULLY SPONSORED, and he even goes home with a handmade mini “Buster” look-alike! Neutered, Heartworm & Lyme negative, vaccinated, and on monthly preventatives. If you’re looking for a fun, adorable best friend who just wants to belong... Buster is waiting for you! If you are interested in meeting and adopting, please submit an application here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog Once submitted our staff will review and then contact you to set up a meet and greet!

Story

Hi, I’m Burt — your future oversized best friend and certified goofball. 2.5 years old | Shepherd/Hound mix | 95 lbs of love If you’ve ever dreamed of having a gentle giant who looks at you like you’re the best thing in the universe…that's me! I’m known for my big, goofy smile and even bigger heart. I’m house trained, well mannered, and full of personality. I’m also a bit of a talker, I love expressing my thoughts & being the center of attention! I showed up as a stray, so my past is a bit of a mystery. But one thing is clear:I absolutely LOVE humans. I’m affectionate, playful, goofy and bond deeply with people close to me. I’m truly a great dog, I'm just looking for a home without other dogs, cats or any small animals! I'm a natural hunter at heart. I can be friendly with other big dogs in passing and short introductions, but I think I'd do best as your one and only. I recently went to foster-to-adopt home with another big dog, but I think I prefer my own space. But here’s something pretty amazing:My adoption fee is COMPLETELY sponsored by Joe’s Hope Foundation in honor of Deb Ogle, which means my future family can take me home for FREE! If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will make you laugh, make you feel loved, and make every day a little brighter… come meet me. I’m so ready to be someone’s big love.
