My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***FOSTER-FOSTER TO ADOPT SUGGESTED***
***FENCED IN YARD REQUIRED***FLIGHT RISK

Helios is shy at first and takes a while to warm up to new people. But once she does, she will love you! She runs up to the ladies who feed and take care of her and loves for them to pet her. She even graces them with occasional kisses!

Someone in the community found male and female stray dogs and kept them in their backyard, but never had them fixed so they had puppies. They never handled the puppies so they were never touched by people. A neighbor let us know about them, but the pups were already about 6 months old and very scared when we were finally able to catch them. Helios and her siblings, Argos and Hebe, as well as their dad Kyon were all rescued by FCAR. Ever since, volunteers have been working on their socialization.

Helios' DOB is 10/18/2020.

All of our rescues are rehabilitated and once healthy are available for an adoption fee of $95 for cats and dogs. This fee includes:

• Extensive medical health check by a licensed veterinarian
• Up to date on all vaccinations. Puppies/kittens may require some additional booster shots which we will pay for if coordinated through us and our veterinarian
• Spayed/Neutered
• Microchipped
• 30 day pet health guarantee for local adoptions only (*Must follow process provided at time of adoption.)
• 30 day money back guarantee

Our goal is to find loving homes for all our rescued animals. Because we care about our rescues and their future, some animals have certain new family requirements before they can be released to their new home. Requirements for adoption could include the following:

• Fenced yard (required for most dogs) and home inspection for all animals; we will complete an onsite fence/home check prior to completing the adoption if possible. *Fenced yard required. (We do not accept invisible fences.)
• Veterinary reference for previous pet owners (must be/have been current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention)
• If no previous veterinary history, purchase of 3 months of heartworm prevention
• If renting, verification with Landlord on acceptability of pets and any restrictions, pet deposit, etc.
• Meet and greet with current pets to ensure compatibility.

Note: We will call your current/previous veterinarian to verify that you have a history of providing vaccinations and heartworm prevention for your animal(s). We do a physical home/fence inspection prior to completing the adoption if a fence is required, or we may request a home video.
