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
Meet Mochi, the undisputed Queen of WiggleButts!This pretty lady was recently surrendered after not seeing eye-to-eye with the other dog in the house and it seems she’s happiest being the one and only. Mochi is a total sweetheart who loves people and knows exactly how to steal the spotlight.Don’t let her short stature fool you. This tiny bull packs some serious power on leash. She would do awesome in a home ready to work on some training or one with a fenced yard where she can zoom around. She keeps her space clean at the shelter and is more than happy to chill out for a nap once she’s had her playtime.Mochi is low-key, low-maintenance, and ready to snag a forever couch to call her own. If you’re after a loyal, wiggly sidekick who knows how to live her best life, Mochi is your girl.**Spayed, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention.**

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
Meet Oberon!Oberon recently came to FDHS as part of a transfer from Paulding County Dog Warden following a large fire that involved several dogs. He’s been through a lot in a short amount of time, and right now he’s still trying to make sense of all the big changes around him.This scruffy little cutie is understandably pretty freaked out by shelter life, but he has been gentle and tolerant when being held. He’s still in full decompression mode and taking things one step at a time as he adjusts to his new surroundings.Oberon is very new to us, and we’ll be updating his description as we get to know him better and see more of his personality come through. He is officially accepting applications to find a patient, loving home where he can feel safe and start his next chapter.

Story
Meet Miss Ursa!Ursa recently came into the care of FDHS as part of a transfer from Paulding County Dog Warden after a large fire that involved several dogs. She’s still very new to shelter life and is taking her time decompressing and adjusting to all the changes around her.Ursa is the smallest of the group, with the most dainty little legs and big radar ears that are always on alert. She’s understandably nervous right now, but she doesn’t seem to mind being held and has shown glimpses of a playful, curious side. Of all the dogs in her group, she’s often the first to engage in gentle play once she feels a bit safer.Ursa is still settling in, and we’ll be updating her description as we get to know her better and watch her personality start to shine. She is officially accepting applications to find her forever family and a home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace.
