Story
Zeus is a one year old pitbull chowchow mix and is an amazing dog all around! He is house trained but if not taken out within a reasonable amount of time and left alone he will have accidents BUT WILL USE PUPPY PADS if left alone. He does Amazing with kids and is protective of them! I do have 4 kids if my own ranging from newborn to 5 years and is absolutely amazing with my newborn! He doesnt really pay much attention to her and when he does all he will do is sniff her then walk away. He does good with cats but if the cat shows that they dont like him he will leave them alone. He does tend to eat to fast and will sometimes throw up if he plays right after. He is messy when it comes to water but is getting better at not making a mess. He is also crate trained he will whine when he has to go potty if hes in his cage. He also knows the basic commands like sit, paw, cage, outside go potty. He is also good at listening to when u tell him no when hes doing something he isnt allowed

Story
Hi, I'm Ash. I've been through a lot, and I'm still searching for my happy ending. When I first came to FDHS, I was in rough shape. I was a stray with a painful hip injury and was pretty freaked out. The kind people at FDHS took care of me, fixed my hip, and showed me lots of love. I got adopted once and for a little while, I though I'd found my forever. But it turns out it wasn't the right fit. I don't really do well with being left alone for long periods. It makes me feel scared and unsure- I need someone I know I can count on to come back for me. I prefer a quieter lifestyle and would love nothing more than a steady home where I can feel safe and loved. I'll be honest- I'm a little stubborn sometimes, but I'm also a really big softie who loves really hard. I'll be your shadow, your protector, and your biggest fan. I get along fine with other animals, but because of my hip, I need a more gentle playmate. I just want a person who won't give up on me. Someone who sees my past quirks and understands that I've been hurt before. If you can give me the love and stability I've been searching for, I promise to give you my whole heart in return.Will you be my forever?**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 55 lbs**

Greta is the definition of a gentle soul. Recently surrendered after her previous owners could no longer care for her, this sweet older lady is adjusting to a whole new world at FDHS. And while shelter life can be a little overwhelming, Greta has been nothing but kind and loving to everyone she meets.She’s a curvy queen (okay, she’s a little chonky!), so she’s on a new health journey with a diet and more outdoor time to help her feel her best. In her previous home, she didn’t get outside much or have the chance to exercise, but now she’s soaking up the fresh air, taking in all the sniffs, and loving the extra attention from her caregivers.Greta may still be a little nervous with all the hustle and bustle of the shelter, but what she really wants is a quiet, cozy home where she can relax, be loved, and enjoy her golden years. If you’re looking for the sweetest old lady to spoil, Greta is your girl! 💕Fill out an adoption application to meet her at FDHS—she’s ready to find her forever couch to lay on! 🐾**Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 65 lbs**

Story
Guess who's back? WAFFLES WIGGLESWORTH!!!!!!!!!Meet Waffles, a lovable pup who is looking for a new home due to a family change. Weighing in at around 30 pounds, Waffles has been fixed and is ready to find his forever family. He has a playful spirit and absolutely loves to chew, so we keep him stocked with plenty of hard chew toys. While he enjoys stuffed toys, we’ve learned to limit those since he tends to munch on them a bit too much!Waffles is still working on manners and would do best with safe and separate feeding in a multi-animal home. You can safely touch his food or bowl while he eats without any issues. He is crate trained and keeps a tidy space. This energetic boy loves the outdoors and has some impressive jumping skills! Waffles enjoys snuggling up with you and is potty trained, though he might tinkle a little when excited sometimes. He’s a fantastic car passenger, always sitting quietly and watching the world go by. Waffles knows how to sit, shake, and patiently wait for his food until given the go-ahead. He adores people, is great with kids, and while he can be a bit rambunctious, he settles down nicely. Waffles has a bit of FOMO and loves being close to you, always ready for an adventure. He has excellent recall in the yard and is always the first to greet you at the door. If you’re looking for a loving companion, Waffles is ready to bring joy to your home!
