Story
Beethoven is a very sweet loving boy. He is turnning 2 in January, he has never left his mother or brothers. He is create trained and eats with a slow feeder. It is best if he is fed alone in his create; he loves cuddles and to be indoors, he is both off leash and leash trained but could always use more training. He sits on command and is good for bath time. Beethoven loves his pool in the summer time and to play with all of the toys, he will take kids stuffed toys aswell. He is wonderful with children and other animals but does like to have his alone time without his brothers. He would be better alone or with a female dog then with another male but with the right friend he will do fine. Adopting him means he will come with lots and lots of fur he needs grooming every week, he has only been groomed at home but does a good job with it. His adoption fee will go towards helping dogs in need.

***Adoption Pending***Lucia is a 9-month-old lovebug with a soft spirit and a curious, affectionate heart. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she warms up, her sweetness truly shines.Lucia adores being close to her human. Whether she’s cuddling on the couch, following you from room to room, or curling up in bed at night, she’s happiest right by your side (she may be a tiny bit clingy, but in the most endearing way). She loves toys—especially hard bones—and takes great joy in spreading them all around the house.Lucia wouldn’t mind having a canine brother or sister, as she does great with her foster siblings. She’s also doing wonderfully with house training.Lucia is ready for her perfect furever home—one filled with love, patience, cozy cuddles, and a couch to call her own.Current weight: 28 lb.Adoption fee: $325To apply: https://fcrspca.org/adopt/

Story
Meet Zeus 🐾 Zeus is a large, almost two-year-old pit bull mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. He is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and gentle with everyone he meets. Zeus thrives on human connection and truly wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He has a medium energy level and enjoys a good balance of playtime and relaxation. Zeus can be selective with other dogs, but with proper introductions, he may be able to live with another dog of similar size and energy level. A meet-and-greet would be required to ensure a good match. Zeus does have severe separation anxiety, and this is an important part of his story. Being left alone causes him significant distress, and he will need a dedicated, understanding adopter who is home most of the time and committed to helping him feel safe and secure. Working closely with a veterinarian for medication, along with a professional trainer, will be essential to support Zeus’s emotional well-being and help him build confidence and stability. Due to this, he would also benefit from being crated when left alone. With patience, consistency, and love, Zeus has so much potential to thrive. He is best suited for a compassionate home that understands his needs and is ready to be his safe place. In return, Zeus will offer unwavering loyalty, affection, and a deep bond with his person.Adoption Fee $250To Apply: www.fcrspca.org/adopt

Story
Meet Abigail—affectionately known as Abby! Abby is believed to be a Heeler Pit mix and weighs just under 50 lbs, making her a wonderful medium-sized companion. She has a mostly white coat with striking black splotches on her face that highlight her sweet expression. Abby can be shy around new people at first, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her true personality shines. She becomes an affectionate, playful dog who loves calm pets, cuddles, a game of fetch, and quality time with her people. She walks comfortably on a leash and would thrive in a home with a yard where she can run, explore, and burn off some energy. As a Heeler mix, Abby will do best in a home that can provide both physical exercise and mental enrichment. Regular walks, training sessions, and puzzle toys will help keep her happy, confident, and engaged. At this time, Abby needs to be the only pet in the home, though she will be retested with other dogs in the coming weeks as she continues to settle in.

Story
Honey is a 2-year-old Pitbull mix with a heart as sweet as her name! She’s still new here, so we’re getting to know her, but it didn’t take long to see how loving and kind she is. Honey would prefer to be your one and only — no kitty or doggy siblings for this sweet girl. She’d love a home where she can be spoiled with all your attention, have a yard to run and play in, and then curl up beside you for cozy snuggles. As we continue to learn more about her favorite things, we’ll keep updating her profile — but one thing’s for sure: Honey is full of love and ready to share it with her forever family.Adoption Fee: $250To Apply: www.fcrspca.org/adopt
