Story

Meet Cali! This cuddly cutie is super smart, loves to learn new skills and tricks, and is eager to please. More than anything, Cali wants to spend time with her people, whether out on a walk, playing fetch, or hanging out and snuggling inside. She can be left home alone, but would much prefer to stick by your side. When meeting new people, Cali is very friendly and social. When our volunteer met her in her home, Cali was immediately cheerful and ready to interact. When it comes to other dogs, Cali appears to have mixed feelings. On walks, Cali is sometimes reactive toward other dogs—this is something her current family is working on. Cali’s current family often has extended family members and neighbors over to visit, and these visitors often bring their dogs. Although Cali sometimes enjoys interacting and playing with some of these other dogs, they tend to make her quite nervous about her stuff (food and sometimes toys), which she does not want to share. For this reason, we would prefer to find her a home without other dogs. In one incident when Cali was new to her current family, she got into a scuffle with a visiting dog over food. When mom intervened, Cali, in the heat of the moment, redirected a bite onto mom’s thumb. The bite resulted in minor abrasions and bruising. Once her family understood Cali’s motivations, they were able to prevent any further nips. But she cannot be adopted by a family with kids younger than teenagers. Cali is currently living with a cat and she overall does well with him. She does like to play with him and they will sometimes lie on their sides on the floor playfully batting each other’s paws. But the kitty would probably prefer a little less playfulness from Cali. So a home with a cat could work for Cali, but it would have to be a cat who truly likes dogs, not a cat who just tolerates them. Cali is 5 years old and weighs about 15 lbs. She is a miniature American shepherd aka mini Aussie. (Adoptapet does not list this breed as an option, which is why "Australian shepherd" is selected.) She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known health issues. She is housetrained and does not currently use or need a crate. Cali was recently adopted by her current family, but they have determined that their lifestyle simply is not the best fit for her. They’ve been patient with her, have given her time to settle in, and have worked with a professional trainer, but this is one of those square peg/round hole situations in which rehoming truly is best for the dog. We (FFOCAS) are helping Cali’s family find her forever home. Interested? Please get in touch 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 Cali!

Story

Looking to find the right placement for a special dog named Fred. He is an Australian shepherd/border collie-type mix, approximately 4 years old and 50 pounds. He is sweet, sensitive, intelligent, and deeply affectionate once he feels safe. He plays wonderfully with other dogs and settles beautifully in a calm home environment. He does pretty well on a leash and settles well at home. Fred exhibits fear-based reactivity toward unfamiliar people and separation anxiety. The separation anxiety shows up as pacing, excessive drooling, and barking; and he will settle only after he becomes exhausted. He is not destructive, but he becomes distressed. The fear-based reactivity shows up freezing, growling, locking eyes. If signals are missed, he may escalate to barking, lunging, snapping. But he has shown meaningful improvements in these areas with the right training and handling. He is truly a love and wants to please. He just needs a little time to build trust and a steady hand.

Story

Skye is a rescue, originally born in a shelter in VA. I believe this is where the ingrained anxiety may come from. She needs a home with no other dogs. She is fine with dogs on walks, she is even my husband's service dog and helps him on walks with the kids because he is hard of hearing and she basically herds them. She would make an amazing princess of any home that she could relax in without feeling reactive towards another dog. She has been in training, rigorous training, and on Prozac and it did not change the situation. She could likely come off Prozac after settling in a new home, once her anxiety settled! It did make her gain weight. Anyway, she really is a beautiful baby girl that needs a home where she can shine as the independent woman she is! She even attends events with my husband and does well! We pray to find her the perfect home!
