Story
Hey! I’m Walter! I’ve been with Fetch for awhile now, and I’m STILL looking for my forever family. Let me reintroduce myself:   I’m a happy boy who likes to be a part of what’s going on. Whether we’re making dinner, you’re showering, or doing laundry - doesn’t matter to me as long as we’re together. I can supervise any project you got goin on! I am always excited to show you what I have. I am kennel/crate trained and I know to do my business outside! I’m strong, like you can tell I work out and all that. I know how to walk nicely on a leash but sometimes I seriously forget it’s even attached, this nose of mine is soooo powerful it’s crazy. I am special, my foster mom says it all the time. Just to make sure I get enough love and attention, it would be best if I am the only “good boy” in my forever home. I run like a graceful rhino and my white hair is so silky soft you won’t be able to resist loving on me. I have gotten myself into a couple situations and I really want to leave my troubled past behind me and move forward with people who get me. People who know tell me that I need structure and leadership: if you let me be the pack leader, I will take advantage of that situation.   I love training and learning, my foster mom is kick butt cool at it, she has lots more information for you since I am sooo special, so apply and let’s get this party started!   Apply here: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt   Name: Walter   Sex: Male   Breed: Pitbull/Basset Hound mix   Age: 4 years   Weight: 50 lbs   Current on vaccines: Yes   Altered: Yes   Microchipped: Yes   Adoption: 200   Good with Cats: No   Good with other Dogs: Prefers to be the only dog   Good with Kids: Possibly   *Special Requirements: Needs to be the only dog in the home.   *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member. It can also help set up a relationship with greater odds of success integrating your new pet into your family. Anyone who provides proof of completed positive reinforcement training will receive a 100 dollar refund from Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc! If you have questions or are wondering if the class you want to take qualifies please reach out! ♥   Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization ##946607##

Story
Hey, I’m Raine! And I’m Blossom! Let us re-introduce ourselves, as a pair!! We have decided we just can’t be without each-other.    Raine here, I have a hard time making new canine friends so we need a home where Blossom and I would be the only dogs. Outside of not being good at making new dog friends I’m one of the most relaxed, easy-going gals you’ll ever meet! I love ALL humans. I love snuggles. I’m house trained and just perfect in my crate.    Now my turn! Blossom here, I was feral when the fine people at Fetch took me in! While I know I love ear scratches and playing, I still take some time to warm up to new human friends. Raine really helps me with this since she’s so outgoing! I LOVE to play and when I warm up to you, I’m one of the goofiest gals you’ll find. I am great in my kennel and house trained too! (Just sometimes if I’m meeting someone new or in a meeting place I may stress potty, but that’s only in high stress situations)    We are some of the silliest, funnest gals you’ll meet! I know we’re asking for a lot out of a family but we think we’re worth it. Once we know and trust you, we’re both good off leash and neither of us mind kitties either! If you don’t currently have any other pups and you’re willing to open your home to us, we won’t let you down!    Apply to meet us! Raine will be happy to meet you and let me (Blossom) know if you’re ok peeps for us.    Apply here: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt    Names: Raine and Blossom Ages: 3.5 years & 3 years Weight: 40 lbs & 30 lbs Breed: Bully mix & Shepherd mix Sex: Females Altered: Yes Adoption fee: 400 for pair Good with Cats: Yes Good with Dogs: No other dogs in home, please.  Good with Kids: Yes. (Raine loves kids. Blossom is hesitant of everyone.)    *Special Requirements: Must be adopted together, with no other dogs in home.    *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member. It can also help set up a relationship with greater odds of success integrating your new pet into your family. Anyone who provides proof of completed positive reinforcement training will receive a 50 dollar refund from Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc!

Story
I'm so glad to have caught your attention! My name is Xena and I'm single and loving it...but looking for a human. I've shown aggression to other dogs in and out of the shelter setting so I'll need an experienced owner who can keep me in environments and situations where I can be successful. I LOVE to play and cannot wait to start living my best life with you. I know that I can be a great companion to someone who likes to keep their circle small and won't give up on me.

My name is Kate and I'm so happy to be here. I know that probably sounds strange, right? I mean a dog who is happy to be in the shelter? But it's true. I've been in some pretty bad places and have lived a hard life but you're going to help me change all of that. I'm ready to live a life after dog fighting and a life I can be proud of- one full of love, safety, squeak toys and all the snuggles a girl could ask for. I do have some baggage that I'll always carry with me from the life I used to live but I'm hoping that with your help the load won't feel as heavy. I will need to be the only pet in the household and we won't be taking any trips to the dog park or having play dates with your friend's dogs. I'll just be here in my kennel waiting for you to fill out the application!

Woof! My name is Jasmine but you might as well call me yours. I'm a very versatile companion in that I'm high energy but also can't resist a good snuggle sesh. I'm crate trained, housebroken and know my fair share of basic commands. Dogs and kids are ok, cat's are not. I like going for car rides, enjoy feeling the sunshine in my coat and would be happy anywhere, as long as you're at my side.

Story
Ever since I arrived to the shelter I've been dreaming of a life where I could be the best version of myself and never have to worry about getting left behind. There was no one to tell my story when I got here and I was so scared and out of my element that I wasn't about to let anyone in either. It didn't take me long to realize that the staff were here to help and only wanted what was best for me and little by little the walls I had put up around my heart started to crumble. My tail started to wag and my personality started to shine; I began to feel like there was a place for me to belong and a life better than what I was leaving behind. They say shelters are full of magic and I can tell you that's true, but you'll just have to come in and see for yourself. I've had positive interactions with other dogs and cats, am very food motivated and about as loyal as a dog can be. I'm 1000% ready for you to fall in love with me.

Story
Congratulations, you've found the most handsome dog in the shelter! My name is Milo and wouldn't it be wonderful if we could start a new life together? Here's the sitch- I had one owner for the first five-ish years of my life and we loved each other very much. Circumstances changed, as they sometimes do, and I found myself in a new town with a new family. Turns out that wasn't meant to be either and now I find myself in a kennel at the shelter. I could be one of those dogs who believes that everything happens for a reason, I just need a little more convincing. I'm friendly with other dogs but prefer to be around friends that are my size. Cats? They're ok, too. I'd be most comfortable in an adult only home as I haven't spent much time around small children and might be too much dog for them. I'm handsome, smart, playful and a little chatty. I need a reason for why my life had to be turned upside down and I'm hoping that reason is Y O U.
