Story
This handsome man is Hershey! Hershey is a middle aged pup who recently found himself at FDHS through no fault of his own, and we are very determined to find this silver snouted sweetheart his forever home.Mr. Hershey is the whole package and then some! He's friendly with kids and other animals, house-trained, well mannered on leash, and perfectly happy to explore in a fenced yard. Let's be real, he's already checked off quite a few boxes on the "perfect dog" application.Shelter life has been a little stressful for Hershey, but you'd never know it by the way he interacts our staff and volunteers outside of the kennels. This guy is an absolute angel baby who is sweet, gentle, and ridiculously easy to love. Needless to say.. he's become a pretty quick favorite around here.What Hershey really wants is pretty modest: a home where he can soak up all the love, snacks, belly rubs, and cozy couch to cuddle up on after a long day. Let's find Hershey his people. **Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 65 lbs**

Story
Meet Sedona! 🐾 This 52-pound, spayed girl was brought to us by the warden, and she’s ready to find a loving home where she can truly shine! ✨ While shelter life can make her a bit vocal—she’s definitely a barker 🗣️ and shows signs of separation anxiety—she calms down quickly once she gets out of her kennel. 🐕💨 Sedona is high-energy, making her a fantastic companion for outdoor adventures and active playtime. 🎾☀️ After she burns off her initial energy, her true self comes through: a total snuggle bug 💖 who loves nothing more than curling up right next to you for belly rubs! 🤗 Sedona gets along great with other dog pals 🐶, but she has made it very clear that she hates cats 🐱❌, so a feline-free household is a must. She will do best with an adopter who has a patient heart, routine, and plenty of time to help her work through her separation anxiety. 🏠💕 If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate girl to fill your life with joy, Sedona is ready to meet you! 🐕✨ Apply online to meet her TODAY! https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FCHO/Dog

Story
Hi future best friend, I’m Jupiter! I’ve been told I’m a Boxer mix, but honestly I think I’m mostly just… dog? Big, wiggly, slightly slobbery good vibes.My time at FDHS has been...an event. You know how some dogs have a rough start at the shelter? Mine has mostly involved accidentally injuring myself in increasingly creative ways. First, I sliced my paw open, which led to three separate vet visits because I wasn't very committed to the healing process. Then I discovered something called Happy Tail Syndrome. If you're unfamiliar, it's what happens when a dog has a powerful wagging tail and absolutely no self-preservation instincts spends too much time whacking said tail against kennel walls. Long story short, I ended up needing a partial tail amputation. I look a little silly now, but I feel a whole lot better. The recovery process involved wearing a giant cone, which was deeply offensive to me. For weeks I wandered around looking like a satellite dish, occasionally running into walls, doors, and people. Nobody was safe. The good news is that I'm all healed up now and still just being me! I love my humans, I love attention, and if you sit down, I'll probably try to become part of whatever you're doing. Personal space is still more of a suggestion than a rule. Other dogs? Meh. I don't mind them, don't necessarily need them. Cats don't really seem to bother me either. If your household needs some slobbery kisses, a personal comedian, and a professional snuggle buddy - I am single and searching!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 54 lbs**
