Story
**Fenced Yard Required**Dixie Chick is an adorable and sweet girl! She likes to show off her wiggle butt when she's being silly! She's strong and active, but is also very affectionate. She has been in a foster home and they said "she will make a wonderful addition to a home with a big family, children, but no other dogs or cats. She has an extremely loving personality to everyone and really does think she is lap dog! Her favorite place to be is right beside you on the couch! She loves being around a big family so she has lots of love, play, and a stimulation to tire her out for bedtime. I have never seen a dog be so appreciative of what she has. She is the happiest dog ever and just wants a warm couch and a human to kiss!"Dixie Chick 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.

Story
***FENCED YARD REQUIRED***Stone was found standing in the middle of a road by a kind man. He immediately contacted us because Stone had numerous scabs, open wounds, hair loss and scars all over his head, legs and body. Both of his front legs were swollen. His tail and one of his legs had been broken. He was in horrible condition! We got him to the vet as soon as possible and discovered one of his front legs was possibly fractured recently. He was also loaded with parasites. Due to the location and shape of some of his scars, our vet told us he was probably a "bait dog", meaning dog fighters used him as bait to train the fighting dogs. Despite his condition and his past, Stone is so sweet to everyone!! Our staff and volunteers have been giving him so much love and attention, and he is definitely enjoying his new life. He loves to go on walks and get out some of his energy. Stone is very dog selective, so it would be best for him to be the only dog in the home. He wants all the love for himself!!Stone's date of birth is 12/6/2017 and he weighs about 50 pounds.Stone spent some time in a foster home and his foster mom told us this about him, "Stone is so gentle and kind. He walks well on a leash, takes treats really gently, and is just a calm, quiet boy."All of our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95 for cats and dogs. This fee includes:• Extensive medical health check by a licensed veterinarian• Up to date on all vaccinations.

Story
**FENCED YARD REQUIRED**Pipster and her brother Kipster are a delightful pair! They are siblings and both are very sweet and very playful. She is good with older children, but may be too strong for young ones. Because Pipster and Kipster are only a little over a year old, they have a lot of energy. Pipster loves to play with toys, too. She is always happy so she will keep you smiling! She has been known to climb and jump chain link fences, so she must go to a home with a very tall and secure fence.Pipster's date of birth is 9/11/2019 and she weighs about 33 pounds.All of our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95 for cats and dogs.

Story
**Fenced Yard Required**Kipster and Pipster are a delightful pair! They are siblings and both are very sweet and very playful. They are good with children and some other dogs, but can be a bit picky and a little food possessive when eating together. He thinks he is dominant so a submissive canine friend will be best, although he would also do well by himself and would be perfectly happy. Because they are only a little over a year old, they have a lot of energy. Like his sister, Kipster loves to play with toys. However, we have learned that he is "door dasher", meaning when you open his gate, he does his best to run past you so he can go exploring! He also can climb chain link fences so he will need a good, secure wood fence and be taught to not run out the door. He is a fun loving boy!Kipster's date of birth is 9/11/2019 and he weighs 41 pounds.All of our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95 for cats and dogs.
