Story
***FOSTER-FOSTER TO ADOPT SUGGESTED******FENCED IN YARD REQUIRED***FLIGHT RISKHelios is shy at first and takes a while to warm up to new people. But once she does, she will love you! She runs up to the ladies who feed and take care of her and loves for them to pet her. She even graces them with occasional kisses!Someone in the community found male and female stray dogs and kept them in their backyard, but never had them fixed so they had puppies. They never handled the puppies so they were never touched by people. A neighbor let us know about them, but the pups were already about 6 months old and very scared when we were finally able to catch them. Helios and her siblings, Argos and Hebe, as well as their dad Kyon were all rescued by FCAR. Ever since, volunteers have been working on their socialization.Helios' DOB is 10/18/2020.All of our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95 for cats and dogs.

**Fenced Yard Required** *Kyon is eligible for our Senior Dog Adoption Reimbursement Program! For select senior dogs FCAR will offer a senior reimbursement program of maximum of $300 per year for the life of the animal. Qualifying purchases include only the following items: wellness exam, annual vaccinations including Bordetella, and heartworm prevention. Adopter is responsible for taking the animal to their veterinarian for all services. Once the service is received and paid for, adopters can submit copies of their receipts to fayettefcar@hotmail.com and we will send them a check. The maximum reimbursement in a 12-month time frame is $300.* Kyon is the strong, silent type; man of the house, wise monitor, companion, and loyal friend. This beautiful labrador is eager to find a home of his own. A gorgeous tawny fellow with a chunky build, at 60 pounds, he is the perfect size. Kyon gets along well with children and other dogs. Kitties beware; Kyon is not enamored with the feline species and may run you out of town! Given his chill personality and some time to learn indoor house rules, Kyon would be happy to lay on the rug alongside the children or grandchildren as they play. Kyon is alert for the sound of the school bus and the mailman, and you can feel safe knowing he is surveying the sights from his fenced yard with watchful eyes. Having misspent his youth wandering, Kyon's lonely heart is longing to put down roots. He has little experience in the ways of house and home, but he is a fast learner and eager to please. We are confident he would quickly become equally happy at home lounging at the family picnic or watching the game in the den with the guys. This big guy might gladly accompany you out to the garage or woodshop, or upstairs to the sewing room while you work on a quilt. He is patient and calm, happy to listen to your thoughts, and will warm your feet on chilly days. Kyon can't wait to be a beloved member of his forever family! Kyon's date of birth is 5/14/2018 and he weighs about 60 pounds. Check out these other videos of Kyon in his foster home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjIRG0CrEdU&list=PLug0NhBWoAJvhX6a_0QEJHiRFj74RIrdn&index=12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHcNcakO9Q4&list=PLug0NhBWoAJvhX6a_0QEJHiRFj74RIrdn&index=11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cSCdGeJWiU&list=PLug0NhBWoAJvhX6a_0QEJHiRFj74RIrdn&index=10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnVkVa-dNBU&list=PLug0NhBWoAJvhX6a_0QEJHiRFj74RIrdn&index=9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncnLmFRa4Qo&list=PLug0NhBWoAJvhX6a_0QEJHiRFj74RIrdn&index=8 All our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95.
