Story
Anubis is a big, scruffy Doodle on the hunt for his forever home! This guy recently came to us after being surrendered alongside his buddy Abu (also available!), through no fault of their own. He’s really sweet, but he does need a little time to warm up to new people. After spending his whole life in a home since puppyhood, the shelter has been a big adjustment for him. That said, once he trusts you, he will literally be your biggest fan. He’s even made his best friend in our Animal Care Director, and in general seems to open up more quickly with men.Food is absolutely the key to his heart. Anubis is highly treat motivated and loves a good snack session. We’re working on leash skills day by day, and he’s proving to be a quick learner with the right encouragement.This boy has so much potential and is just waiting for the right person to help him become the best dog he can be. He’s now accepting applications for his perfect match.**Scheduled to be neutered, scheduled to be microchipped, heartworrm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 82 lbs**

Story
Meet Amity!This beautiful German Shepherd has been with us at FDHS for a little while now, and the longer she’s here, the more we fall in love with her. Amity is super smart, extremely affectionate, and full of personality. She really just wants to be involved in everything you’re doing, whether that’s tossing a ball in the yard or cozying up on the couch for a cuddle afterwards.Amity absolutely adores people. Big humans, tiny humans, strangers, friends, anyone willing to give her attention instantly becomes part of her fan club. She has met children as young as four and has been so gentle and loving with them. Underneath all that high-strung energy is a very sweet girl who just wants to be close to her people.She loves to play ball and would happily spend time stretching her legs in a fenced yard before heading inside to relax with her favorite humans. Amity is also very intelligent and would thrive with someone who enjoys working with smart, active dogs.While Amity loves people, she is looking for a home where she can be the ONLY animal. She has shown a strong prey drive toward smaller animals and has not been interested in making canine friends during her time at the shelter. Because of this, she’ll do getting all the love and attention as your one and only pet.Amity is ready for a fresh start with a family who will appreciate just how loyal, goofy, cuddly, and special she really is. **Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 50 lbs**

Story
Abu is the most adorable little French Bulldog / Terrier mix, recently surrendered alongside his friend Anubis (also available) through no fault of their own. At only a year old, he is still very much a baby at heart.Abu is all about closeness and comfort. He loves being held, snuggled in right into your arms. He’s the definition of a lap dog and is always ready for a good cuddle session.While he is incredibly sweet, Abu can be a little shy when meeting new people and prefers to take his time getting comfortable. Once he trusts you, he forms strong bonds and likes to keep his circle small, cozy, and familiar.He has done well with other animals and would likely thrive in a calm, peaceful home where he can settle in at his own pace. **Scheduled to be neutered, scheduled to be microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 19 lbs**
