Story
Nora is the sweetest girl and has been part of our family since birth. She is loving, affectionate, and has a gentle personality.She enjoys walks, playing at the dog park, and being with her people. She has been incredibly gentle with our 7-month-old baby.Sadly, our baby has developed severe allergies, and after testing we believe animals are the cause. We are heartbroken to rehome Nora.Finding the right home is very important to us. We hope she goes to a family who will love her, include her as part of the family, and give her affection, walks, playtime, and companionship.Nora is very special, and we want a safe, loving forever home where she will be happy and cherished. ❤️

**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. This fee includes: Extensive medical health check by a licensed veterinarian Up to date on all vaccinations and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention Spayed/Neutered Microchipped Our goal is to find loving homes for all our rescued animals. Because we care about our rescues and their future, some animals have certain new family requirements before they can be released to their new home.

We will ask for a video that shows the entire fence so that we can verify that there are no holes or gaps where the dog could escape. (We do not accept invisible fences.) Veterinary reference for previous and current pet owners (must be/have been current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention) We will call your current/previous veterinarian to verify that you have a history of providing vaccinations and heartworm prevention for your animal(s).

Story
***6ft+ SECURE FENCED REQUIRED*** ***MUST FOSTER TO ADOPT" ***Local Adoption Only at this Time*** Meet Alana A Beautiful Soul Just Waiting to Bloom Alana is a gorgeous young girl with a gentle heart and so much love to give. She and her siblings, Rex and Eve, were rescued after spending their early lives confined to a very small area, with little opportunity to experience the world or meet new people. Because of this, Alana is still learning that life can be safe, fun, and full of kindness. She can be shy when meeting new people and lacks confidence, but beneath her timid exterior is an incredibly sweet, friendly, and playful dog who truly wants to make a connection. Once she begins to trust you, her affectionate personality starts to shine, and it's impossible not to fall in love with her. Alana is looking for a patient family willing to give her the time, encouragement, and positive training she needs to build her confidence. With individual attention, gentle guidance, and lots of love, she has all the potential to blossom into an amazing lifelong companion. To help ensure the best match, we prefer that Alana begin in a foster-to-adopt home. This gives her the chance to settle in at her own pace while making sure she's a great fit for your family. If you have a kind heart, a little patience, and room in your home for a deserving pup, Alana is ready to show you just how rewarding it is to help a shy dog discover her confidence. She may need someone to believe in her first—but once she does, she'll reward you with a lifetime of love. Alana's date of birth is 4/13/2025 and she weighs about 35 pounds. 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 Spayed/Neutered Microchipped 30-day pet health guarantee for local adoptions only (*Must follow process provided at time of adoption.) 30-day money back guarantee Our goal is to find loving homes for all our rescued animals.

Story
***6ft+ SECURE FENCED REQUIRED*** ***MUST FOSTER TO ADOPT*** ***Local Adoption Only at this Time*** Meet Eve A Gentle Soul Waiting to Bloom Eve is a beautiful black and brindle girl with soft, soulful eyes and a heart that's just waiting for the chance to shine. She was rescued alongside her siblings, Rex and Alana, after spending her entire young life living in a tiny, confined area. Because they had so little exposure to the world, the three dogs missed out on important socialization during puppyhood. Of the siblings, Eve is the shyest. New people, unfamiliar places, and everyday life can still feel overwhelming to her. She isn't quite ready to trust the world—but you can tell she wants to. Every small step she takes is a victory, and with patience and kindness, she's slowly learning that people can be safe and loving. When she's with Rex and Alana, Eve's playful personality begins to peek through. She enjoys running, playing, and simply being a carefree dog with her siblings by her side. Away from them, however, her confidence disappears, and she'll need a family willing to help her discover that she can be brave on her own. Because of her unique needs, Eve is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where she can settle in at her own pace before making the adoption official. She'll thrive with a patient, understanding family that celebrates small victories, never rushes her, and gives her the time she needs to build trust. Watching a fearful dog learn to wag her tail, seek affection, and discover the joy of being loved is one of life's greatest rewards. Eve has so much potential—she simply needs someone willing to believe in her until she can believe in herself. If you have a gentle heart, a calm home, and the patience to help a timid dog blossom, Eve may be the one who's been waiting for you. Eve's date of birth is 4/13/2025 and she weighs about 35 pounds.
