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 cues and hand signals, 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!

Story
Some dogs walk into your life and make themselves right at home. Others need a little time to learn that they’re finally safe, finally loved, and finally home. Sammie is a little bit of both. 🐾 Sammie is an incredibly sweet girl who has so much love to give. She’s playful, affectionate, and happiest when she’s with her people. Give her a ball and she’ll happily play fetch with you, introduce her to a friendly dog and she’ll be ready to make a new best friend, and when the day is done, she’ll happily curl up beside you and show you her favorite side—the ultimate cuddle bug. ❤️ Sammie absolutely loves other dogs and does wonderfully with them. She takes correction well and is wonderfully easygoing about sharing her food, toys, and beds. A canine companion would be a wonderful addition to her forever home. She’s also doing so well with her house manners! Sammie is potty trained, knows sit and come, and has great recall about 90% of the time. She’s working on her leash skills every day and continues to improve. She’s a strong, athletic girl who would love someone who enjoys getting outside and having fun together. But there’s something special about Sammie that her forever family will need to understand: she’s still learning to believe in herself. 💗 New people and visitors can sometimes feel scary to her, so Sammie would be happiest in a calmer, lower-traffic home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace. She doesn’t need to be part of every gathering—if her people have company, she’s perfectly content relaxing in another room or settling into her crate with a cozy spot of her own. What she needs most is patience, reassurance, and people who will give her the time and space to realize that she’s okay. And once Sammie feels comfortable? You’ll see the real her. The playful girl. The goofy girl. The affectionate girl. The girl who wants to play fetch, hang out with her dog friends, and then curl up next to her favorite person for a nap. 🥹💕 Sammie does have a high prey drive, so she would do best in a home without small animals. She may not be the dog who runs up to every stranger with a wagging tail. She may need a little longer to trust. But for the person willing to earn her trust, Sammie has the potential to be an incredibly special companion. She’s been waiting for someone to see past the things that make her nervous and see the wonderful dog underneath. Sammie doesn’t need a perfect family. She just needs her family. Someone patient. Someone kind. Someone who will let her grow at her own pace and love her through it all. Could you be the person Sammie has been waiting for? 🐾❤️

🐾 Looking for a Loving Home for Jax 🐾With a heavy heart, we are looking to rehome our 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Pit Bull mix, Jax.Jax is a loving and energetic dog who is great with children and other dogs. We are unsure how he does with cats.This decision is incredibly difficult, and Jax has done nothing wrong. Our family has a 1-year-old daughter, and my wife is currently battling cancer. With everything going on, we simply don’t have the time to give Jax the attention, exercise, and care he deserves.We love Jax very much and want to find him a home where he can receive the time, love, stimulation, and companionship he deserves. We are looking for a responsible, loving family who will treat him as part of their family and give him a forever home.We are going to be very careful about who Jax goes home with. Please message me if you or someone you know may be the right fit for Jax. ❤️🐾

Hi there! My name is Romeo, and just like my name suggests, I’m a total sweetheart. I’m incredibly affectionate and loyal, and I love nothing more than being close to my humans. I have a great balance of energy—I enjoy being active and playful, but I’m also a big fan of lounging around and taking naps.  I’m already potty trained, crate trained, and I’m doing awesome at learning new commands. I’m looking for a family that’s calm, confident, and willing to keep helping me grow with my training that he graduated from in a board and train.  While I’m pretty easygoing, I’d love a home with older kids and a fenced-in yard where I can stretch my legs and play! I’m smart, friendly, and naturally protective of the people I love. I’m a healthy, happy adult dog just looking for the perfect place to call home—where I can be your loyal Romeo and soak up all the love and attention I’ve been dreaming of.

Meet Chance: Your Loyal, Adventure-Loving Wingman! Chance is a stunning 3-year-old white American Staffordshire Terrier with a distinctive black eye patch and a heart of gold. His story began with a bittersweet moment—he was found at a dog park, patiently waiting for a family that never returned. Thankfully, Pep’s Pals Rescue stepped in, and now Chance is looking for the one thing he deserves most: a family that will never leave him behind. Personality & Habits Chance is a soulful, affectionate, and loyal companion who thrives on human connection. Whether he’s joining you for a car ride or charming the baristas at Starbucks for his favorite pup-cup, he’s a total crowd-pleaser!     Home Manners: He is both house and crate trained. Unlike many pups, Chance is a "sensible eater"—he takes his time and savors his meals!     Leash Life: He is great on a leash and loves being out and about. He’s currently working on his "excited jumping" when meeting new people, but his eagerness to please makes him a fast learner.     Water Dog: If there’s water nearby, Chance is in! He loves to splash and play. The Ideal Forever Home Chance is a devoted partner who wants to be by your side for all of life’s adventures. His perfect match would be:     Family Dynamic: An active family, who can match his energy and keep his training going.     Pet Socialization: Chance is still working on his introductions outside the house. While he’s fine with most dogs, he does not do well with larger dogs who share his dominant personality.     Cat Savvy: He is okay with cats, though he would do best with a confident cat.
