Story
🐾✨ Meet Honey Bee! ✨🐾 Sweet as her name, Honey Bee is a lovable little Mini Australian Shepherd mix born on 7/8/25. This beautiful girl weighs about 17 pounds and is spayed and up to date on all her vaccines—ready to find her forever family! 💛🐝 Honey Bee is full of energy and personality! She would thrive in a home that can give her a job or fun activities to keep her busy—this girl is a little worker at heart. Whether it’s playtime, learning new tricks, or exploring the outdoors, Honey Bee is happiest when she has something to do! She can be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, she’s full of love, kisses, and playful excitement (yes, she may jump up to say hello—but she’s eager to learn!). She is crate familiar but will need a little more practice going in on command. She’s also used to walking with a harness and does pretty well, though continued leash training will help her shine even more. Honey Bee is pad trained and does great as long as she’s let out on time. She’s been around other dogs and does well, though slow introductions are best. She’s also been around kids and does well, but because she can be a little timid, older children may be the best fit. Cats? She mostly just watches them with curiosity! She can be a bit nervous around men, so she may need a patient home willing to help her build confidence at her own pace. If you’re looking for a sweet, active girl with so much potential and love to give, Honey Bee might just be your perfect match! 🐾💛

Story
🐾✨ Meet Buddy! ✨🐾 Say hello to Buddy, a handsome Mini Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle soul! Born on 7/8/25, Buddy weighs about 22 pounds and is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations—he’s ready to find a loving home to call his own. 💙 Buddy is the more laid-back of the pair and loves the simple things in life—like his favorite lamb chop stuffies and cozy snuggles. 🧸 While he does have puppy energy, he’s definitely more of a relaxed companion compared to his sister. He can be shy, especially at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality really starts to shine. Buddy loves giving kisses and being close to his people. Like Honey Bee, he may jump up in excitement, but with a little training and consistency, he’ll learn quickly. Buddy is crate familiar and pad trained, though he’ll need continued guidance with both routines. He walks fairly well on a harness but would benefit from more leash training to build confidence. He does well with other dogs when given proper introductions, and he’s been around kids—though due to his timid nature, a calmer home with older children may be best. Cats don’t seem to bother him much—he mostly just observes them. Buddy can be especially nervous around men, so he’ll need a patient and understanding home willing to help him feel safe and secure. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who just wants snuggles, toys, and a little reassurance, Buddy could be your perfect match. 🐾💙

Story
This spotted cutie is Waylon!Waylon has now been with us at FDHS for a while, and we’ve gotten to know him much better. With our staff, he’s a big giant baby and sweet as pie. Once he trusts you, he’s affectionate, sweet, and loves nothing more than being a lovebug.Waylon can be very cautious when meeting new people and will often bark or growl at first. Because of this, he’s going to do best in a home with rescue dog experience or adopters who are patient and willing to put in the time to earn his trust and help build his confidence. At this time, we don’t feel he would be a good fit for a home with children under 10.He’s shown a lot of curiosity about the other shelter dogs and seems interested in making friends. With proper introductions, we think he could do well in a home with other dogs and likely cats too. Waylon is a smart, young dog and very treat motivated, though he’s still learning to take treats gently.When he’s not zooming around the yard and burning off energy, Waylon is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle. He comes from energetic working-dog heritage, so an active home that’s committed to keeping both his brain and body busy will be key to his success. Waylon has been fully vetted and is available for immediate adoption. He’s just a sweet boy looking for his place in the world and a family to call his own.**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 72 lbs**
