Story

Wyatt is available through Animal Rescue, Inc in New Freedom, PA. He would love a home with at least one other dog to play with all day, its actually a must for him. Wyatt loves to play tug with his buddies when they aren`t chasing each other around the large fenced yard. He is about a year old and has a lot of energy, so a job of some sort would be great. Wyatt does tend to herd other dogs and likes to play with your hands, though we have been working on that, so older kids/teens would probably be best. He loves to drink water as your pouring it. Wyatt sleeps in his crate at night, which provides a break for his companions too, but he does like to just chill in there off and on during the day too. He can take a bit to warm up to men, but mine have found that collagen puff treats help a lot. Wyatt is eager to please and recently attended a board and train, so it is important that his new family will continue to reinforce what he learned there so he can be his very best self.

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

Introducing Zeke, a truly remarkable pup whose heartwarming spirit and playful energy are ready to light up a new home. Zeke is a handsome, resilient boy who, through no fault of his own, found himself searching for a new home. He's more than ready to embark on his next chapter, seeking a loving, forever family to call his own. Zeke is a bundle of joyful energy, known for his silliness and ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. While he may start off shy, it doesn't take long for his true personality to shine through. He quickly becomes an enthusiastic playmate who thrives on the company of other dogs and will gleefully encourage them to play. Zeke is a smart and well-mannered companion. He is potty-trained and comfortable in his crate. He also knows basic commands like "sit" and "go to your room," and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to train further. While he’s working on managing his excitement (which sometimes results in enthusiastic leaps!), his good intentions are always clear. Walks are a highlight of his day, offering him a chance to explore and burn off some of that youthful energy. His barks will let you know precisely when he needs to go outside or when he hears you approaching the door. If you’re seeking an active, affectionate, and charming dog who promises boundless love and entertainment, Zeke could be the perfect addition to your home. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story

Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Hi, my name is Olive. I’m the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. I love hugs. Like, put my arms around your neck and HUG you. I am super smart and have already learned to potty outside, sit, “kennel up” and much more. My foster mom has 2 kids, another dog and a cat. I’m so good with all of them although I don’t understand why the cat doesn’t want hugs. I’m trying hard to win her over though. Treats and naps are my favorite thing in the whole world. I started off life with my foster mom very skinny and I’m doing my best to fatten up a bit. I’m so excited to find my forever home. I’ll be your best friend! Local Only adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.NOTE- FRED IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ASKING TO REHOME THEIR PET. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Please contact: Lara208-629-9768 hannonlara@gmail.com Energy level: Moderate — playful outside, calm indoors 1. Overview & Core TemperamentFred is a sensitive, sweet, emotionally intuitive herding-breed mix who forms deep, meaningful bonds with the people he trusts. Once he feels safe, he becomes affectionate, playful, gentle, has a quirky smile, connected, and eager to be near his person. He settles well in the home, often resting at your feet or choosing a comfortable nearby spot. He likes being close but is not clingy; he simply enjoys companionship from a place of safety.Fred thrives with calm, predictable handling, gentle voices, and slow movements that give him space to build trust at his own pace. 2.

With these supports, he warms up beautifully and becomes affectionate, expressive, and securely attached. 3. Fear-Based BehaviorsFred has fear-based reactivity with new people, not true aggression. When overwhelmed, he maygrowl or snap if he feels cornered or pressured. With proper introductions and calm interactions, these behaviors reduce significantly or disappear. 4. Separation & Isolation AnxietyFred has separation and isolation anxiety. When left alone, he may pace, bark, whine, pantexcessively, drool excessively, become restless, or struggle to settle. Despite this distress, he has never been destructive and does not soil indoors. He needs gradual alone-time training, consistency, predictability, a low-stress environment, andpossibly a calm dog companion. 5. Behavior with Other DogsFred plays well with other dogs, adjusts his energy appropriately, relaxes around calm dogs, gainsconfidence from a steady canine companion, and checks in frequently with his person.On leash, he may show mild reactivity to other dogs on leash at close ranges but redirects well.Off leash he is appropriate, social, playful, and not aggressive.6. Outdoor Behavior & WalksFred is an excellent walking companion with good leash manners and strong impulse control. Hecalmly observes deer and responds immediately to cues.7.
