Story
Oh, Miss Bailey!Bailey is the cute tan and white lady that's been hanging around our facility for the last 6 months. Although she's definitely a favorite for us, we still can't figure out why she's been here so long. Bailey originally came to FDHS back at the end of June 2023 as a stray and was never reclaimed by her family. She was very nervous when she first got here but quickly stole the heart's of employees and volunteers. If her perfect little triangle ears don't have you swooning, than her giant heart and sloppy kisses definitely will. She's a younger, active dog that would love to be in a home where she can keep her brain and body busy! She's prone to some separation anxiety and can be destructive if she doesn't have something to keep her occupied. Bailey would also need a home willing to go on lots of leash-walks or allowing her to have space to  burn some energy. Preferring the life as a solo animal, Bailey is perfect for someone looking for a dog to keep them company. She promises to be a loving and loyal companion to a family that's willing to give her patience and structure. **Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs approximately 60 pounds**

Story
Everyone, we'd like for you to meet Eugene! Eugene is a special guy that came to us back in August from some pretty rough conditions. He is about 6 years old, but if you didn't know his age you would swear he's no more than 2! Eugene is a peppy, happy-go-lucky guy with a lot of spunk. His personality does not reflect his age and you'll have a hard time convincing him he's not a puppy.Eugene came from a home with another and really seems to enjoy their company. He does tend to come on a little strong when initially meeting new furry friends, so he may need a couple slower Meet & Greets. We aren't sure if he's been around cats, but we would have a hard time believing he would have conflict with any animal. If you're looking for a dog with personality, he has got a BIG one! Eugene is very chatty and always willing to tell you about his day. He gets really excited when meeting new faces and can't always contain his enthusiasm. Eugene is truly a diamond in the "ruff" and is ready for the perfect person to come along and recognize his potential. **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs approximately 55 pounds**

Story
Introducing Kenny, the delightful lab mixed breed in search of his forever love! Kenny arrived at our shelter as a stray with limited background information.Kenny is a people-oriented pup, and he’s proven to be a wonderful companion when it comes to meeting new human friends. He’s always ready to shower those he meets with the most heartwarming kisses. However, when it comes to other dogs, he can be a bit reactive, so gradual introductions are essential. As for cats and small animals, we’re unsure of his compatibility, so a cautious approach is warranted.This youthful and energetic fellow is the perfect fit for an active owner or family. Whether it’s taking long walks or enjoying playful romps in a fenced yard, Kenny is up for any adventure. He’s a strong walker, and using a harness can make your outings even more enjoyable.Kenny’s zest for life and his affectionate spirit make him an ideal companion for anyone seeking a loyal and lively furry friend. If you’re ready to provide love, exercise, and an abundance of kisses, Kenny is eager to become your devoted partner. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to welcome this lovable boy into your life – he’s prepared to fill your days with joy and excitement.**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention.

Story
This blue-eyed babe is Miss Willa! Willa came to us as a stray back in October and was never reclaimed by her previous family. We have no clue how this pretty pup is STILL with us! Willa is playful, outgoing and so full of fun. If you're looking for the life of a party- she's your girl!She's definitely on the energetic side and would thrive in an active home environment where she gets lots of attention and love. Because she's so young and has seemingly not had a lot of training outside of the shelter, Willa will need a patient home to help work through the puppy pains and get her on the right track to being the perfect girl. She has the most sparkling personality and once she learns some manners she's going to be a top-rated canine companion. Willa does well with other dogs that can tolerate her intense play and goofiness. She has also done well with kids and would likely be fine in a home with cats. If you're in need of some entertainment, fun, and years of love- consider adopting our girl Willa!**Spayed, microchipped, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention.

This handsome smoke show is Aero! Aero originally came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by his family. He has been with us for several months now and is looking for a home of his very own. We have gotten to know Aero pretty well in his time here and we can not tell you enough great things about this guy! He's friendly with people, he keeps a clean kennel, and he always has a big smile on his face! Aero loves to give kisses and is super snuggly with his people. Aero would prefer life as a solo pet and would likely do best in a home with dog experience. He can be a bit of an escape artist and would either need leash-walked or supervised time on a tie-out. His climbing skills are no match for most fences and he's an adventurer at heart. If you like long walks, car rides through the drive-through and lots of bed time cuddles - Aero is your guy!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention.

Story
Meet our girl Sidney!Back in July, Sidney arrived at FDHS with a fancy pink pedicure and a harness, and we were certain her family would come for her. But days turned into weeks, and no one showed up. We tried following her microchip’s trail to another local humane society, but it led us to yet another dead end. Now, Sidney is ready for a fresh start in a loving home of her own.This goofy lady is a true clown at heart. She loves to play, especially with her big blue ball in the backyard – watching her in action is a guaranteed mood booster! Sidney is quite versatile; she does well in a fenced yard, on a tie-out, or on a leash. She also consistently keeps a clean kennel here at the shelter, leading us to believe that she’s house-broken.Sidney’s got a social side too! She gets along with most of the shelter dogs, although she isn’t a huuuuge fan of the more intense canines. When it comes to kids, she can come on a little strong but we are confident she'd adapt well. She did very well during her cat-test, leading us to believe she wouldn't mind having some kitty friends around. Sidney isn’t just a dog; she’s a source of entertainment and joy. With her goofy antics, she’ll keep her future adopters endlessly amused.Are you ready for Sidney to become your forever bestie?**Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention.
