Story
Hi, My name is Stoffel. I came to FCAS after my owner suddenly passed. I am a senior heeler. I am estimated to be at least 10 years old. I have been taken very well care of over the years but am experiencing some joint pain in my old age. I would benefit from a home that has minimal stairs. I also have some severe separation anxiety and would do best with someone retired or that works from home. Being a one and only pet is a must as I have an incredibly high prey drive. I despise cats and the presence of other dogs really stresses me out. I am a vocal girl and like to tell you exactly what's on my mind. When I am calm and in my element, I am the perfect dog. An ideal home would truly be a mature couple or single individual with no kids and no pets. Please tell me the perfect someone is out there for me! If interested, apply online at fayettecountyanimalshelterwv.com or visit the shelter at 513 Shelter Road, Fayetteville, WV 25840.

Story
Tank is a 6 year old pit bull mix that I’ve had since he was a puppy. He’s great with other dogs and loves cats! He enjoys playing outside with his toys. Tank is very energetic and would do better in a home with older children due to his size and sometimes forgets he’s a big boy. He loves his treats and loves to cuddle.

Story
My name is Sammie! I am a young doodle. I am looking for a patient, calm home. I was signed over to FCAS by my owner. It was said that I had bitten someone, however, it was a fear bite. It takes me a moment to warm up to people, and sudden movements and loud noises really scare me. I have lots of potential, but patience will be key. Please don't let our first interaction be your permanent impression of me. Come meet me! 513 Shelter Road, Fayetteville, WV 25840. We are open Mon-Sat 10-5PM.

Story
Hi, I’m Lyric! I am SUCH a lover! I have the sweetest, most friendly personality. I don’t know a stranger. I thrive on attention, snuggles, and words of affirmation. I came to the shelter as a stray and was severely underweight, but the staff is working hard to put some weight on me! I am sure you’ll love me, just give me a chance!
