Story
Ivy is a 5 year old pitbull/bulldog mix. She was adopted from a local family who's dog unexpectedly got pregnant. Ivy loves to lay in the sun, cuddle on the couch, and burrow in your blankets. She does have troubles with her hips but will go on the occassional short walk. We have another dog who is a year older than Ivy and they have started to not get along which is why we are looking for a new forever home for her. She does get along with her "cousins" which are two dogs quite smaller than her. Ivy overall is a very sweet and calm girl who just needs to be on her own in order for her to have the best quality of life possible (no other pets in the home is the best option). If you do choose to adopt her, she will easily become your best friend!

Story
Arlo and his litter mates were born in the Appalachia Mountains. They are American Bulldog mixes. These pups are as sweet as sweet can be. They enjoy their play time in the yard and making friends in play group. They are actually heroes. They saved their mommas life as she was tied to a 50 pound log chain on the side of the mountain. Angel gave birth to 6 puppies. She had little to no food or water. She gave everything she had to keep her pups alive. She wouldn't have lasted much longer in the heat. The pups were about 4 weeks old when a couple of them followed another dog home down the mountain. The dog owner followed the pup back and found Angel and the rest of her pups. These pups are now healthy and wanting a family to call their own. They need a home with a fenced in yard; an invisible fence is not adequate. They are up to date on shots, rabies, neutered and microchipped. They have been started on heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $363 which includes a lifetime microchip registration fee of $13. ##1566589##

Story
Hello humans!My name is Lonnie and let me tell you a little about myself. You see, I'm a more mature pup that was surrendered to FDHS back in September after I was left by my owner who never returned. I'm not taking it personal though, I know I'm a good boy and it wasn't my fault. But now I'm looking for a forever home where I'll be treated like family and never left behind again. Don't let my age deter you! I'm in great shape and play as hard as any of these other pups. I burn off a lot of energy while playing so lots of treats are apreciated! I just have the benefit of being house-trained and experience living as a member of the family. I catch onto manners very quickly and am eager to please! Not only that, but I promise to be a loving and loyal companion to our family. I'm looking for a home where I get lots of pets and belly rubs. I seem to get along better with the calmer dogs, as the more reactive ones tend to get me worked up. I don't know if I've ever been around cats or other small animals, so slow introductions with any other pets is a MUST! I get along great with people of all ages.Did I mention I give the best kisses? If I sound like I could potentially be your cup of tea, fill out an application for me today!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on all vaccines & monthly prevention. He weighs about 64 lbs**

Story
'McCoy the Good Boy', that's what the folks around here call me. I’ve become pretty familiar with the kennels of FDHS in my lifespan. You see, I was born here six years ago and found my first home when I was just a pup. I spent about four years there but kept getting into trouble with the neighborhood cats and small animals so that family decided that it was best for my to find someone could keep me away from smaller critters. After a few months of being here back in 2021 I found the most awesome home with a really great man. Despite my quirks he loved me like no other and gave me a great home and became my Dad. Unfortunately, my Dad got really sick and as much as we loved each other, he knew I needed to find another family that could give me the care I need. I’m really sad to be back and miss my Dad. The nice girls at the shelter assure me that I won’t be here long and they’re going to find me a family to help heal my heart and love me just as much as Dad did. In the meantime, I’ll be waiting in my kennel waiting for that family to come. **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 65 pounds.**

Hello world! My name is Keanu Reeves (the dog version), but you can just call me Keanu! Although I'm not stealing the spotlight on the big screen, I am aiming to steal a spot on your couch!I was surrendered to the nice people at FDHS about 2 months ago after my previous owner could no longer keep me. I wasn't in the best of condition when I arrived, I was pretty skinny and missing some hair. In the time that I've been here I look like a completely different dog! I'm a sturdy boy with a large head and a tail that NEVER stops wagging. I really am the happiest of boys. I've done pretty well in the shelter environment. I'm always eager to meet new human friends and I love to run around in the fenced yard out back. I can get a little sassy with some of the more "intense" dogs but I think with slow and proper introductions, I wouldn't mind having a canine sibling. I did very well when I was cat-tested and would likely be totally fine going to a home with them. The staff praises me for keeping a clean kennel (other than the occasional mud from my paws...I like to play!) and I do excellent with routine. Overall, I'm a big goofy guy that's just looking for my fur-ever love....could it be you?**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and UTD on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 65 lbs**
