Story
Ekko & Mimi's Story Ekko (black and tan, male, 15 lbs) and Mimi (tan & white, female, 11 lbs) are an adorable bonded pair looking for a home where they can stay together forever! These sweet pups are house trained, crate trained, and have an easygoing, medium energy level that makes them a great fit for many different homes. They absolutely love people and enjoy playing with kids of all ages. Friendly and social, they are not fearful or reactive and have wonderfully happy personalities. Their favorite pastime is romping around the backyard together and playing with their small stuffed toys before settling in for some relaxation time. Ekko and Mimi are easy to walk on leash and could do well in an apartment or home environment as long as they get their daily exercise and playtime. Theyre relatively quiet overall, though they may bark a little when they see activity outside the fence — but once outside, they are calm and content explorers. Like many playful dogs, they do enjoy chasing cats, so a cat-free home would be best for this duo. If youre looking for two loving companions who already adore each other and are ready to bring double the joy into your life, Ekko and Mimi may be the perfect match! Ekko and Mimi are both about 8-10 yrs old. They are currently being fostered in Houston, TX and are available locally or out of state to the Northeast. If adopted out of state, they would come to their new home via professional transport. Email info@joyrides.org to request an application!

Story

She is currently under medical watch, as she appears to have a SI Luxation and needs further testing to determine if surgery will be an option to help save this poor girl. Her medical bills are already nearly $400- and climbing. Please consider making a donation to help with her care and others like her. https://www.lowellhumanesociety.org/donate/

Story
Adoption Donation  $699 for the pr Located: New England (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details) Age: approx   8-9 years old Weight: 11 lbs. Meet Octavia & Mark Anthony  Octavia and Mark Anthony are siblings who were rescued from a breeder, where they spent years living in crates. Because of their difficult past, they are still learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and part of a family. They will need a patient and understanding home that is willing to give them the time, love, and guidance they deserve. They are estimated to be around 8 years old.  Both are recovering from severe ear infections and will need continued care and patience as they heal.  They are working on housetraining. They are making progress and will sometimes use pee pads, but accidents should be expected as they continue to learn.  They are still very skittish and scared, but they have started to accept love and are slowly learning that people can be kind and trustworthy.  They can be fairly vocal when they feel they aren't getting enough attention and will let you know when they'd like some extra love!  Octavia is energetic and playful. She loves being active and is beginning to discover how much fun life outside a crate can be.  Mark Anthony is more reserved. He prefers relaxing in his bed or snuggling up beside you on the couch.  They need someone who is home often, patient, and willing to hold them, love them, take them on walks, and gently show them how wonderful life as a beloved family member can be. These two have been through so much, and they are finally learning what it feels like to be safe. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, Octavia and Mark Anthony have the chance to blossom into the happy, loving companions they were always meant to be.  If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information: ebfosters1@gmail.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   ​Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters.

Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal.
