Story
This sweet little lady is Linda!Linda was found wandering around as a stray and was never reclaimed to our surprise. When she came into our care, she was in need of a little TLC and a much needed grooming. And just look at her now! After getting her cleaned up, she is just the happiest little girl.Linda is a sweet love-bug who would love to spend her day just cuddled up in someone's lap. She absolutely loves her people and being carried around and showered with affection. She is also a tidy girl and does a very good job keeping her space clean. We don't know much about her background meaning it is unclear if she has ever been around other dogs or cats, but she doesn't seem bothered by her doggy neighbors here. We believe she will do good in most home environments. Linda has so much love to give and would love nothing more than to be someone's little companion! As much as she likes everyone here at FDHS, what Linda wants most is a home to call her own and a warm lap to cuddle up on. We would love to see Linda spoiled with her own family, if you think that could be you: please fill out an adoption application to meet her!- Linda is spayed, UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention, heartworm negative, and microchipped

Story
Chanel and Riley are two Maltese dogs, both around 4 years old, who originally belonged to my mother, who sadly passed away recently. Since her passing, I’ve been doing my best to care for them, but due to changes in my life and responsibilities, I’m no longer able to give them the time and attention they truly deserve. This has been a very difficult decision because they mean so much to me and were very special to my mom. My biggest priority is finding them loving, safe, and stable homes where they’ll receive the care and affection they deserve. They can be adopted individually, but anyone interested in adopting both is more than welcome to! More than anything, I just want them to be happy, loved, and cared for the way my mom would have wanted.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Friday – A Sweet Little Maltese Mix Looking for His Forever Home Friday came into rescue as a stray, and now this sweet little guy is ready to find a family who will give him love. He is currently underweight and will need a family committed to helping him get healthy and maintain a good weight. Friday is a Maltese mix with a heart as sweet as can be. He is gentle, happy, and incredibly loving. He enjoys being held and cuddled, although he can get a little wiggly when he decides he is ready to explore and wants down. He has a wonderful personality and is sure to bring lots of love and happiness to his future home. Friday gets along great with other dogs - we are unsure about cats. As with many dogs coming into rescue, he will need some help learning the ropes in his new home. Potty training and basic training will need continued work. Because of his Maltese mix coat, Friday will also need regular grooming and brushing to keep him comfortable and looking his best.  Friday is neutered, 4DX negative, microchipped, and current on vaccines. He is also current on ProHeart 12 for heartworm prevention and Bravecto for flea and tick prevention. His adoption fee is $350. Friday is currently in Texas but can travel to Washington, Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and locations along the East Coast. If transportation is needed, there is an additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, dogs cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts. Ready to give Friday the loving forever home he deserves?

Story
MEET MARKIE — 8 POUNDS OF PURE, PRANCING CHARM! 5 years old. 8 pounds. One tiny white pony with a big personality. Have you ever dreamed about the perfect white pony—but without the feed bill and at a fraction of the size? If so, Markie hits the mark! Although he can’t pull a carriage, he can certainly pull off Mr. Charming. This little Maltipoo is proof that you don’t need to be big to make a grand entrance! A LITTLE ABOUT MARKIE: A real-life My Little Pony! Markie lives to rear up and do a little dance. Naturally, we sing the My Little Pony theme song while he shows off his signature moves! Playtime enthusiast! He loves to wrestle, play, and keep everyone entertained with his silly, spirited personality. Leisurely flower sniffer! Markie enjoys taking his time on walks, sniffing the flowers, exploring his surroundings, and appreciating the finer things in life. A working little man! Markie enjoys having a job and takes his responsibilities seriously—especially when it comes to reminding everyone that he is still a dog when it comes to his territory. No one comes around unnoticed! Markie considers himself head of security. Nothing happens on his watch, and no visitor arrives without being properly announced. Social butterfly! Markie enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. He is social and would love having another dog to snuggle with in his forever home. ✨ MARKIE’S PERSONALITY & NEEDS ✨ Maltipoo charm in a tiny package Loves to rear up and dance Enjoys wrestling and playing Loves walks and sniffing flowers Social with other dogs Would enjoy a canine companion Protective of his territory Non-shedding breed Requires regular grooming to prevent matting Tiny body, BIG range of emotions! Markie will need a firm, confident leader who can provide structure, clear boundaries, and consistent guidance. He is not shy about letting people know that all eight pounds of him can Jekyll-and-Hyde his way from prancing pony to white devil when he feels the need to defend his territory! His new family will need to understand that his adorable size does not mean he should be allowed to make all the decisions. With the right leadership, Markie can be a charming, playful, affectionate companion. ✂️ GROOMING IS A MUST! Because Markie is a non-shedding breed, his coat will mat without regular brushing and professional grooming. His new family will need to stay committed to maintaining his coat and keeping him comfortable, healthy, and looking his best. AND THE SUPPORT DOESN’T END WHEN HE GOES HOME! Markie is with one of our trainers in Lucasville Ohio. At Voodoo K9, they believe adoption is about more than finding a dog a couch. It’s about creating a successful, lifelong relationship! Markie’s new adopter will receive: Individual training to help you learn how to work with him and build a solid relationship. Maintenance classes to keep his skills sharp and continue reinforcing good manners. Lifetime training support for the life of your dog, because we’re here for you long after adoption day! ✨ Markie is ready to find his forever home! If you think you have what it takes to handle eight pounds of prancing, playful, protective Maltipoo charm! Fill out an application on our website and we will get you in touch with Voodoo K9 in Lucasville! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   November 8, 2026, 8:14 am
