Story
Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.

Story
Carrots is an owner give up to our rescue. Below is the information her owner gave us initially. I have had Carrots for almost two years now. She has been the most amazing friend I could have asked for. She rarely barks and only lets out an occasional whine if she needs to go out or is wanting some attention. She’s a well behaved for a dog that lives her life with me in a small dorm and can only go out to play fetch or go for a walk when I’m not at class or work. She needs better. In general, she has been amazing for the hand she’s been dealt. I actually couldn’t be more grateful for how well she’s treated me as she’s grown to be near a full two years old!! I am having to part with her because she is still a puppy, and I’m a Junior in college struggling to work and commute on weekends when I have to, and give her the attention she deserves. She’s trained well. She sits on command, she can stay if you ask, she’s house trained, and she’s comfortable with her kennel if needed. She uses a harness for walks and does great. She was trained to walk on the left of you and she’s usually pretty good about staying focused. She has started the process of being an ESA certified dog but has not rec'd her second certification. Her previous owner said that she was around a child once and growled so we do not recommend her with small children. She has never been around cats so we cannot say whether she will or will not be okay arounds feline friends. She would make a great family member for an active family. If you would like to add Carrots to your home, please message us and we will send you an application. Carrots is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! The adoption fee includes her medical for a health certificate and transport to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Story
https://foha.org/pet/lambert2021/ ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Hi, I’m Lambert — a big mutt with an even bigger heart! If you believe that size equals love, then I’m your guy. I may look like a gentle giant (because I am), but I also have a playful side and a lot of curiosity about the world around me. Whether it’s going for a walk or learning something new, I’ll be right by your side, ready for adventure — especially if treats are involved! I’m a calm, affectionate boy who enjoys exploring and staying close to my people. I’m also a bit of a neat freak — I take pride in keeping my space clean and am fully housebroken. I can be startled if woken suddenly, so I appreciate gentle handling and quiet routines. Because of my size and strength, I’d do best in a home without small children, ideally with an experienced adopter who understands big, loving dogs like me. HOW AM I WITH DOGS: I’ve done well with other dogs at FOHA who share my calm demeanor and would likely enjoy the company of a like-minded canine friend. HOW AM I WITH CATS: A little too overly interested in cats. I would probably do best in a home without cats. HOW AM I WITH KIDS: Best suited for an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy teens due to my size, strength, and startle reflex when sleeping. I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS: I know sit and I’m eager to learn more, especially when treats are involved! MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: I’m fully housebroken and take pride in keeping my area clean. With a consistent routine and calm environment, I’ll thrive in your home. THINGS I LIKE: Walks, treats, gentle affection, clean spaces, calm environments, staying close to my people, and learning new things. THINGS I DISLIKE: Being startled while I sleep, loud or chaotic settings, and sudden movements. I do best with a peaceful home and confident guidance. FOHA ADOPTION POLICIES AND PROCESS https://foha.org/pet-adoption/adoption-policies/ ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), 1-month access to Petcademy for training and behavior support, slip lead leash, 1 bag starter food, 1 month flea/tick & heartworm preventatives, diagnostic testing, and additional medical procedures as recommended by our vet. Since I have reached my golden years, I am eligible for the Senior Care Plan. If you have additional questions, please use our Contact Us form and select Senior Care Plan Questions.

https://foha.org/pet/marble2024/ Hi, I’m Marble! 💕 I’m a cuddle queen on the hunt for my forever family. As a sweet German Shepherd, I’m all about snuggles—there’s nothing better than cozying up next to you on the couch for hours. When the wind picks up, you’ll find me outside chasing leaves like it’s my favorite game (because it totally is!). I’m housebroken, love my daily walks, and have mastered the art of being a laid-back, loyal companion. My dream home is simple yet full of love. I imagine being with people who cherish me, taking lovely walks together, and having a cozy couch where I can snuggle up and feel safe. 🏡🐾 I’d do best in an adult-only home with folks who have experience with German Shepherds—I’m looking for someone who understands my breed and can give me the love and structure I thrive on. Right now, I’m waiting for my forever couch (and family) to snuggle with. Could that be you? If you’re looking for a fun-loving yet laid-back companion to brighten your days, I’m your girl! Let’s meet soon. 💕

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Tammy (tnhuck@yahoo.com) for more information about this pet.Update 13 September 2024 Pancake 6757 is a 4 year old sweetheart who has been in the rescue for quite some time. She came to us very sick and emaciated. Pancake had EPI which had been left untreated. She requires enzymes for her EPI. Her foster family has her looking beautiful! She’s healthy and is a petite girl even filled out! Pancake is a higher energy gal who would love a fenced-in yard and an energetic canine playmate.  Seniors and small children would not be a great fit for her.  She plays almost constantly during doggie play dates.  Pancake is weighing in around 55lbs, which the vet said is a good weight for her.  She does well at the vet, she is getting better with leash walking but still pulls (and she is very strong), and she does not like thunderstorms.  She is a really sweet dog who would love to finally find her forever family! Please consider Pancake! Approved adopters may contact her foster parent at tnhuck@yahoo.com Update 10 June 2024 Pancake is up to a whopping 45 pounds!  Fortunately, she is food-motivated so she is making really good progress.  The vet suggested that she gain about another 10 pounds. Her sparkling personality is also shining through even more.  She loves to play fetch with tennis balls, chew on Nylabones, and play with furry squeaky toys, which she also enjoys shredding.  And that’s okay, she is a happy young lady who can entertain herself, given the right toys.  She does love interaction with human beings and she will come over for attention and follow a person around the home.  And she is a good guard dog with a loud, authoritative bark! To burn off some of her energy, I have taken Pancake for short (1-2 mile) runs around a local park.  She gets distracted easily so it is a bit of a challenge, but she does enjoy the extra time outside and she is noticeably more poopered out at the end of the day.  Her leash manners are improving but they still need some work.  Sometimes she walks with neighbors and their dogs, so she is learning socialization skills. Pancake has attended two adoption events and done reasonably well.  She is a little anxious in new situations but she should get better about that as her confidence grows. 4/4/24. Pancake is a really sweet 3.5 year old white shepherd.   The best part about Pancake is her personality.  She is affectionate, house-trained and crate-trained.  She is well-socialized with people and she generally ignores or tolerates other dogs.  Her foster sister Pawlina 6087 is the same way, so they usually hang out in different parts of the living room.  Pancake enjoys being outside and going for walks; the world is her oyster!  Her leash manners could use some work – she is stronger than she looks and she likes to sniff pretty much everything. Unfortunately, Pancake has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or EPI.  This means that she has to be on a restricted diet and have enzymes on her food.  The condition is easily managed but it makes her upkeep a little more expensive and time-consuming, as the enzymes need to be added to her food with warm water, and then the mixture needs to sit for at least 20 minutes before serving. We are working to get Pancake’s weight back up to normal and to figure out what diet will work for her, as well as her enzyme dose.  She had a vet appointment in March and she did great.  Her blood test came back negative for heartworms, and her fecal sample was negative for parasites.  She also had her nails trimmed.  She came into rescue with some sores on her legs; they are healing nicely and the vet removed the blue tape on them that can be seen in some of the photos.  Her right ear doesn’t stand up straight, and the vet said perhaps she had a hematoma in her younger years, but it adds to her charm.  Pancake behaved perfectly the entire time at her doctor’s appointment, she had no problem being handled by the vet and the techs. Pancake is currently living in a condo and she is not a barker, so she would do fine in any type of household.  She visits her foster cousins on the weekends in a single-family home, and she doesn’t play in the yard with the other dogs, she prefers the company of people. Pancake is spayed and up-to-date on shots.  She is living in Arlington, VA and she plans to attend adoption events in Northern Virginia.  Approved adopters may contact her foster parent at tnhuck@yahoo.com  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 13, 2025, 9:28 am
