Story
Gucci came to FARM in need of a forever home. He is an 8 month old, 14 pound, neutered male Shih Tzu mix. Gucci is all puppy - playful and affectionate. He does well with other small young dogs and older children. Gucci would love a new home with an affectionate owner who has time to give him the affectionate he craves and the basic training he needs. Gucci needs to learn how to walk on a leash and needs housebreaking skills. A secure fenced yard would be a plus. Meet and greets for approved adopters will be by appointment. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out a dog application which can be found at http://fallstonanimalrescue.org/adopt/ and e-mail it to fallstonrescue@aol.com.

Story
Meet Munchkin, our charming 11-year-old mixed breed boy, weighing in at a delightful 30 pounds. With a background in a local pet store, he's a social butterfly who effortlessly interacts with cats, dogs, and children (he loves children!). Munchkin brings a wealth of experience from his previous home, making him a seasoned companion. While he may need a bit of time to adjust to his new surroundings, his friendly nature and adaptability shine through. Consistent potty breaks and the potential use of belly bands can aid in this transition. If you're ready to open your heart to an easygoing and loving companion, Munchkin is the perfect fit for a forever home filled with warmth and care. Munchkin has had a recent dental cleaning and extraction of some teeth, senior panel blood work (nothing notable), and removal of a few pesky skin tags, but is healthy and ready to find his new family!

Story
Hello, this is Bieber he was a found and adopted at an estimated age of 2 to 3 years old. He’s been a part of the family for about 11 years now, but unfortunately, it is time to part ways as life has got pretty hectic the past year with me working and being a new mom, and I feel like he isn’t getting the love and attention that he needs. Bieber is a simple dog who only needs a few walks a day and for you to love on him and play with him. He has the heart and energy of a puppy. (I always forget he’s pretty up there in age) He loves children, and going for walks, he will defend his household by barking if he thinks there is an intruder and stand his guard if he think someone is walking too close to you 😂 so when people pass by, I do put him on a tighter leash, but he actually wouldn’t hurt a fly. The only hiccup Bieber has is that he does wear male dog diapers because of house training, failures and he’s a little difficult when it’s time for a hair cut.
