Story
Say hola to Lola!Lola is an adorable little mixed breed that's literally all sunshine and rainbows! She is sweet, silly, and full of life, and she has never met a stranger. She has been a baby doll for our staff and volunteers. Needless to say, we are absolutely smitten!She was originally found as a stray and spent a few months in her finder’s home before coming to FDHS, she wasn’t the best match with the other two female dogs in the household. Lola can be a little protective of her dinner plate around other dogs, but outside of mealtime she is generally friendly with other animals (cats included!). She does well on leash, though she may try to turn things into a game of keep-away if she slips loose, and she does great in a securely fenced yard.Little Miss Lola is the life of the paw-ty. Given her friendly, upbeat temperament, we feel like Lola would make a great addition to just about any type of home environment!

Story
Wednesday is a gorgeous medium-sized mixed breed who came to us as a stray a couple of months ago with no information about her past. What we have learned is that she is a sweet, quirky girl who will need just the right home.Wednesday thrives in a calm environment and appreciates having time and space to relax and decompress. She is very loving with her caretakers but is also confident enough to set her boundaries when she needs to. One of Wednesday’s most iconic traits is her singing voice. She is known for her dramatic solos that get the entire shelter howling along. We promise no animals are being harmed. Wednesday is just being Wednesday, a tone deaf angel with a lot of personality. But we absolutely ADORE her!She seems comfortable around calm, low key dogs, but she has not been tested with cats. Because she can have the occasional sour mood, we do not recommend a home with small kids. And with her lack of coordination, a home with lots of stairs likely would not be ideal.Wednesday’s loving, goofy presence has made us all completely fall in love. She may be a special girl, but for the right person, she will be so amazing. **Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 40 lbs**

Story
It’s Britney!Britney is a gorgeous white dog and a natural born star who brings full pop-princess energy everywhere she goes. She lives for the spotlight, loves an audience, and isn’t shy about singing her heart out. She might not be everyone’s ideal playlist, but her bold spirit and big personality are destined to be someone’s dream dog.She’s an energetic, happy girl who thinks every person she meets is a new fan. Britney isn’t the best match for homes with small children or cats, but she does well with dogs who can keep up with her high energy and performance level. She also struggles a bit with being left alone and isn’t a fan of crates, so she’s hoping for a home where she doesn’t have to spend much time offstage.If you’re ready for a fun loving diva with a heart of gold, Britney is more than ready to take center stage in her forever home.**Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 40 lbs**

Story
I’m Capone, a brindle guy with pretty eyes and some cute ears. I came to the shelter because my previous owner couldn’t care for me, and now I’m looking for a family who can match my energy and give me a good life!I love being outside running, exploring, and playing. I seem to get along with other dogs and I’m friendly with people, especially if there are treats or praise involved. I’m still learning my leash skills but I’m picking it up fast.I’m looking for someone active but is also down to cuddle on the couch on weekends. I’m part adventure, part couch potato, and all Good Boy. If that sounds like your vibe, we’ll be a perfect match.**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Story
This handsome boy is Diesel!Diesel is still very new to FDHS and is taking some time to decompress, so he can be a little nervous at first. He warms up quickly with a calm voice, gentle encouragement, and especially some yummy treats. Diesel has pleasantly surprised us with his leash manners, though he can be easily startled and may pull when he’s spooked. He has done well spending time in a securely fenced area where he can feel safe and explore at his own pace.Diesel is a young German Shepherd mix who recently came to FDHS after his previous family could no longer care for him. He came from a busy, multi-dog household, and with several other intact dogs in the home, things could sometimes feel overwhelming. Because of this, Diesel would do best in a home that can provide structure, clear boundaries, and careful introductions with any canine companions so he can feel secure and confident.Overall, Diesel has been friendly with our staff and easy to handle. As with any new dog, we recommend slow introductions to all household members. While we do not know if he has lived with young children or cats, with proper introductions we believe he has the potential to do well in many types of homes.As a German Shepherd mix, Diesel is a working dog at heart who needs both mental and physical enrichment. He enjoys being active, learning, and spending time with his people. An active household, especially one with Shepherd experience, would be an excellent match for this smart, sensitive boy.

Story
Meet Mr. Mellow!Mellow’s name might make you think he is calm and...well...mellow. But truthfully? He's a brindle whirlwind of wiggles, smooches, and slobber. He has been at FDHS for several months now, and honestly, we can't figure out why this sweet boy hasn't yet found a forever family. He's stolen the hearts of every staff member and volunteer he meets, and he just wants someone to love and be loved by.Mellow is can go from a track star one moment and a lazy nap champion the next. This boy literally lives for the sunshine and summer! He absolutely adored his puppy pool and was often found splashing, wading, or just lounging like he might secretly be part mermaid. With winter coming and Mellow STILL being here, he's starting to get pretty bummed out. He truly thrives on attention, affection, and adventures of all kinds.He does best with slower introductions to other dogs. Some of the more energetic pups at the shelter can overwhelm him, but he is curious about calmer dogs and would likely enjoy having a dog friend to build confidence with. He hasn't been tested with cats here at the shelter, but we were told by his previous family that he did well with them. Mellow would also do best in a home with older kids or adults and a fenced yard or daily play sessions to help him burn off all his puppy energy.Mellow has so much love to give, and he is ready to share it with a person of his own. **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 50 lbs**
