Story

Sweet Daisy is a truly top-of-the-line expert-level snuggle bug whose current mom describes her as “smart, sweet, and intuitive.” She loves going for a walk or getting a good belly rub about equally. She is fun outside and chill and relaxed inside – the perfect combination! This very good girl is friendly with everyone she meets, including a friend’s young children. She may bark at visitors to the home but will then greet them nicely. When our volunteer met her, Daisy was instantly friendly – approaching in a loose, wiggly way and leaning in for petting. Daisy sometimes gets a little excited when she sees other dogs, but her body language appears friendly and playful. But when given the chance to meet and play with another dog recently, Daisy did fantastic! She has a moderately rough housing/chasing play style and is great at taking turns. She is tolerant of some rudeness – when the other dog tried to hump her, she just sat down. So although Daisy’s current mom feels she would love to be the center of her person’s world, a home with another friendly dog may work for Daisy. Though she has not been around cats, Daisy has sometimes shown fairly strong interest in prey animals, such as squirrels, seen outside. So we recommend a home without cats or other small pets for Daisy. Daisy is not comfortable in a crate. But that’s ok because she can be safely left uncrated when her family is away from home for 6–8 hours. She can be a bit nervous about thunder and fireworks but does fine if music drowns out the sounds. This sweetie is about 7 years old and weighs around 70 lbs. She is completely housetrained, spayed, and up to date on all immunizations. Her teeth have been cleaned and though she has allergies, they are well managed with apoquel. Why is such a great dog in need of a new home? Daisy was saved by her current family from a miserable living situation with a former neighbor who neglected and eventually abandoned her. She has been well-loved during her time with her current family. Sadly, the family’s other two dogs have been consistently aggressive toward Daisy, and it is just not working out. The family notes that Daisy has not ever been the aggressor, and in fact when she first met the family dogs, she wagged her tail happily at them, even adjusting her behavior and showing submission after their initial negative response. When finally attacked by the other dogs, Daisy did defend herself, but she was nevertheless still ready to try again to make friends with them and later did have a nice meetup with another dog. She’s been so resilient in the face of so much difficulty! We (FFOCAS) are helping her current family safely rehome her. Interested?

Dewey -- Courtesy Post

Story

Meet Dewey! This friendly and playful guy is very snuggly. He’s at his happiest when he’s surrounded by people. He also loves playing with other dogs, sniffing, eating, and napping. Dewey’s current owners say he “has a *very* waggy tail and butt, especially when he sees his favorite people or dog buddies.” And, importantly, when everyone else in the home is chilling, Dewey will happily go right to sleep on his bed or in a sun beam on the floor. When new people arrive at the home, Dewey may bark a bit, like most dogs, but quickly warms up. When he met our volunteer in a park, he was immediately friendly, social, and just plain adorable. This very portably sized pittie can be reactive toward some other dogs while on leash—mainly if the other dog “starts it.” However, he is perfectly capable of making friends with other dogs and absolutely loves to play with his dog friends. He may growl or nip at another dog who tries to simply take a toy from him (totally understandably) but is happy to play tug of war with another dog. He has been around cats a bit and has tried to chase them. Therefore, we suspect that Dewey would do well in a home with another dog but would not be a good fit for a home with kitties. Alone time is Dewey’s kryptonite. He has some degree of separation anxiety that is aided a bit by medication and by some strategies his current family has honed over the years. But he is going to do best in a home where someone is home most of the time. His family has not had an opportunity to determine whether the presence of another dog in the home would eliminate or reduce Dewey’s separation anxiety. This sweetie is also worried about thunderstorms and fireworks. Dewey is 5–6 years old and weighs about 50 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations with no known health issues other than seasonal allergies. He is housetrained and, though he does currently use a crate, he would prefer not to have to be in a crate. This very good boy is losing his home due to his family’s career and lifestyle changes. Much as they love Dewey, they know that an upcoming move and altered work hours will not work well for Dewey. Interested? Please get in touch via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through PetFinder. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved—especially Dewey!

Story

Meet Peyton Jake, a 12-year-old, 60-pound male boxer/pit/whippet mix (best guess). Peyton is losing the family he has lived with for his entire life due to serious changes in the family dynamic and through no fault of his own. This sweet boy is energetic and playful, he loves cuddles and attention, and he enjoys socializing with other dogs. The ideal home for Peyton would be with a family that enjoys walks and outings. Although he has lived with and done beautifully with their now 2.5-year-old child and with other children, he may do best in a family with no small children simply because he is a senior and, as we all know, toddlers and other young kids can be hard on dogs. In the words of Peyton Jake’s mom: “Peyton is highly snuggly and likes to hang on the couch with his family. He currently has a fenced yard and loves to be outside and go on hikes.” However, he previously lived in an apartment for several years and did great. (He is not a big barker.) In general, Peyton’s recall is great and he walks well on leash. However, if he is not fresh on training, he will try to pull during his walks. Positive reinforcement resolves this temporary issue. Typically, when he meets unfamiliar people, Peyton either ignores them or greets them in a friendly manner. When our volunteer met Peyton, he was immediately friendly, happily leaning on her and soliciting pets and attention. Although Peyton has never lived with another dog, he has met and befriended many dogs throughout his life. Recently, Peyton has boarded with a neighbor who has a young German shepherd. Peyton and the shepherd get along beautifully and are best buds. He has also stayed for long stints with a family friend who has cats, and he gets along just fine with them, hanging out and sleeping on the same couch. Overall, Peyton appears to be one of those dogs who can slide right into a new home and get along with everyone as if he’s always been there. Peyton’s favorite things are playing fetch or tug-of-war, gnawing on chew toys, hiking, swimming, playing with other dogs, and getting belly rubs. His dislikes include having his nails trimmed (though he does tolerate it!), having his teeth brushed, and being left home alone. Although Peyton is crate-trained, he is not a fan of going into the crate. This good boy is fully house trained and up to date on his vaccinations and heartworm testing. He was recently evaluated by the vet, who found no serious health concerns. He will have a dental cleaning prior to adoption. Peyton’s mom is heartbroken to lose the dog she describes as “the bestest boy and an awesome companion.” We (FFOCAS) are helping her safely rehome him. Interested?

We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to help keep this process as safe as possible for all involved—especially Peyton Jake!

Luci Noodles

American Pit Bull Terrier American Staffordshire Terrier

Story

Luci Noodles is a gorgeous, 8.5 year, 60-pound pitbull mix who is losing her home because of her loving mom’s serious illness. In the home, Luci is a low-key couch potato and snuggle bug who loves cuddling and blanket time. Outside in a fenced yard, this silly girl will make you laugh over her zoomies. She can walk without pulling on the leash, responds to both verbal and hand commands, is very much focused on her people, and is very trainable. She does well in a crate when staying with her pet sitter, though at home she tells her mom she would prefer not to be crated. Her favorite activities include playing fetch and tug-of-war, gnawing on chew toys, receiving a good belly rub or butt scritch, and swimming or splashing in a pool, creek, or lake. Luci will bark and visitors and, in some cases (especially unfamiliar men), may need a moment to warm up. Once she’s gotten to know a particular visitor, she greets them enthusiastically. When our volunteer met Luci, she was immediately friendly and ready for affection or play. Luci has not lived with children, but she is around toddlers at her pet sitter’s home and does beautifully with them. She has done great interacting with older kids and teens. When walked on a leash, Luci is reactive toward other dogs; this may be due to prior experiences being rushed by off-leash dogs. So she might do best as an only dog. However, Luci is a thoughtful dog (she thinks before acting) and, with an experienced adopter and a slow introduction, she could do fine with a mellow canine companion. Luci currently lives with two cats and is generally indifferent to them, though she does not appreciate it when the kitties approach her food. Luci’s mom says “I just want to impress that Luci is a wonderful dog. I must rehome her. My condition is degenerative and I’m reaching beyond my capacity to care for anyone. She truly is a delight and deserves the best.” We (FFOCAS) are helping Luci’s mom safely rehome her. Interested? Please reach out via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through AdoptaPet. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved – especially Luci!
