Story
Paris is an 8 month old with a spunky attitude. Paris has been in a foster home with 4 other dogs, cats and kids. She loves to wrestle and play with other dogs.She doesn't bother the cats but would need continued positive reinforcement training as she grows older with cats in any home. Paris loves to swim in her baby pool. Paris is crate-trained, housebroken, walks amazingly on the leash. Paris has been all over Shadyside meeting all sorts of new people and just enjoying life. Her favorite hobby is to play soccer with her foster mom. Paris loves meeting new dogs on leash and making friends with all the people along the trail too! Paris does have Mircoopthalmia that she was born with. That means her eye did not fully develop in utero but she has been seen by the vet and cleared, it would just be something to monitor as she ages and she may need eye drops for dry eye on the third eyelid.Hi and thank you for your interest in adopting from The Foster Farm!Please note that all applicants MUST live within the state of Pennsylvania -- no exceptions will be made.In order to help us process your application, please include as much detail and information as possible.

Story
Theo was found chained to an abandoned house. We do not know how long he was out there, or what he has endured, but he was extremely dehydrated and emaciated when found. Even bolt cutters struggled to cut the heavy chain around his neck. Despite all of this, he is kind and gentle. He is looking for a new family that is prepared to give him the time and understanding for him to come out of his shell. If you are interested in learning more about me or helping other dogs like me, please submit an application here: https://barkaboutit.org/apply/.

Story
Meet Roxie! She is shy at first but once she warms up to you she won’t leave your side and will always be ready to curl up next to you on the couch. She is a little over two years old so she still has some puppy energy so she loves to play but she can nap just as hard as she plays! She loves being outside, running and playing fetch and nesting in as many blankets as possible. She does well interacting with other dogs outside the home but would do best as the only pet in the house.

Everyone meet Major! He’s a 3 year old bully. I’ve had him since a puppy and he’s been the best, sweetest, most loyal dog. He has tons of energy so loves to play and go on walks. He’s very well potty trained. He is a hyper dog and takes time to calm down when people come in the house. That’s his only issue we are working on. He’s never been aggressive or showed signs of aggression. He thins he’s just a little lap dog actually. I am looking to rehome Major due to moving and my work schedule. Major is the best and I want him to have the best life and receive the attention and time he deserves.

Story
Ghetti is a 2-3 year old American Bully. She was found running stray with another dog in WV. Spaghetti AKA Ghetti is as cute as they come! She's about 35-40lbs of beautiful bully. She does have some quirks(mainly her fearfulness of men and general shyness). BUT, she has made great strides since being in foster and we have every ounce of confidence that she will continue to flourish in the right home. An added bonus is that she comes with FREE ongoing support from the rescue's certified behavior consultant. In foster, she has become extremely close with the male in the home after her intial fearful behavior of him. The key with her is time, patience, space and understanding. She's really just learning about humans and it's important to continue to make her feel safe. Once she feels safe and trusts you, WATCH OUT! She will crawl into your lap and cuddle like you've never seen. She may even show you her goofy side which is so fun to see! Ghetti may need several meet and greets if you are male or have a male in your home, so if you're impatient or pushy DON'T APPLY. She would do best in a home with a calm male dog or as the only dog, no cats or small animals, respectful kids aged 10 and up. Her ideal home would be on the calm/quiet side. She really loves walks, so if you like walking or hiking in areas with low traffic and noise...she would love to be your hiking partner! She will need someone that isn't scared to advocate for her...meaning that you will need to be able to tell people, "Hey, please give her some space, she's shy." ...or put her in a crate with something yummy if you're having people over and you feel she might not be comfortable. Someone that is willing to always put Ghetti's feelings and best interest first, so that she can continue to learn to trust the world would be amazing! She is not a dog park dog nor would she enjoy outings with people everywhere. Some of her favorite things include: walks in the woods, food, SNUGGLES, treat puzzles and confidence building games, couch potato-ing and car rides. She does well in her crate and hasn't had any potty training issues. If you think you can be an advocate to protect her and her feelings and love her little hippo self, SHE WILL GIVE YOU THAT LOVE BACK TENFOLD! She is special and deserves someone special...reach out if you think that someone special is you!  ##1541407##

Story
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PHEOBE, PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO READ ABOUT THE ADOPTION PROCESS AND FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. www.furkidrescue.org Phoebe came from a wood mill property in Memphis. It was a dire/neglectful situation. We think she suffered from head trauma, which left her unable to walk on her own and pretty helpless. Her Memphis foster moms cared for her and kept her safe until she could be transported to Pittsburgh. Her northern foster parents got started on physical therapy right away. This has helped tremendously. She does treadmill therapy, and balancing exercises among other things. She has made huge strides and can walk with a wheelchair. She’s really feeling her independence! Adoption fee is waived at this time as we expect the adopter to continue with physical therapy. Our goal is to hopefully having her walk on her own one day. She’s gaining strength daily!

Story
Deacon spent 6 years of his life in a shelter!! We had to give him a chance. When Deacon came out of the shelter he wasn't quite ready for the outside world. Luckily All The Way Canine Academy stepped up by taking him in to help him adjust to a life outside of the shelter. Deacon is ready to find his forever family and be given a real chance at a life he deserves. Deacon can be shy at first, understandably, but once he opens up he will happily give you butt wiggles and his paw asking for affection. Deacon is loving but doesn't need constant affection and can relax on his own. Deacon will easily relax in the home. He would do well with a crate as the crate is his safe place.

Story
Gypsy is located in TEXAS. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so she is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home. Gypsy is a very good girl and is the most obedient dog I have ever seen. She knows how to sit and comes when called. She is housetrained and very well behaved in the house. She likes her crate and sleeps in it with the door open. She walks well on a leash and rides well in a vehicle. Gypsy loves her toys, especially squeaky ones, and she loves playing fetch. Gypsy is active - she loves to run and play with toys and other dogs. She loves water and lays in the wading pool when it is hot, and we bet she would love snow. She gets excited about squirrels, cats, and critters on the other side of the fence. Gypsy does well with all dogs but gets along best with male dogs. She is normally good around small dogs but occasionally mistakes one for a toy when she is over-excited. So she is not recommended for homes with small dogs. She is not too fond of puppies getting in her face either. Gypsy loves human attention and is good with children. She could perhaps use more obedience training with someone firm, patient, and loving. Gypsy is very sweet. She gets attached to her human and likes to lay under my desk when I work on the computer. Gypsy walks well on a leash and rides well in the car. She must be in the house as a loved family member, and she needs a yard with a 6' fence to run and play. Gypsy came from a bad home. She was not being fed and was severely underweight. So the people surrendered Gypsy and her puppies to animal control to avoid animal cruelty charges. Gypsys DNA test results are mostly Boxer, Husky, and German Shepherd. She bounces on her front legs when she is excited and we now know that comes from the Boxer in her. Gypsy is around 5 years of age and weighs 70 pounds (she only weighed 35 pounds when we got her). Gypsy is healthy. She is spayed, tattooed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. Gypsy had a light case of heartworms when we first got her. We used the slow-kill method (we are happy to explain this) and she is now negative for heartworms and on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Gypsy's adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport to the Pittsburgh area. She is located in Texas and cannot be transported until after she is adopted.
