My story

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

Moxie (F) is somewhere between 1-2 years old and is just the most easy going, easy to live with dog. She is full grown at 44lbs and is, we believe, a hound mix. She doesn't take things that don't belong to her, she doesn't chew on your furniture, and she is a star at letting you know when she needs to go out. She doesn't get on the furniture unless you invite her and doesn't jump all over your friends when they come to visit. She doesn't know a whole lot of commands yet, but that's ok because she seems to intuitively know what it takes to be a good dog. Also, she is super eager to please and food motivated, so teaching her should be a breeze. She likes to be petted and loves a good belly rub, especially first thing in the morning, but she's not needy. All she asks is that she be where you are. Need to work from home? Can she lay under your desk? Wanna watch TV? That's great, too. Just let her know if she can lay on the couch beside you or if you'd prefer she lay on the dogbed at your feet. She sleeps in a crate at night and it seems to really help her settle. She has not been allowed on the bed in her foster family, as the house dog needs to be the only one there, but she might make a good sleeping buddy if you asked nicely. She would prefer a fenced yard because she's not a huge fan of walks, but for you, she might learn. She gets a bout of the zoomines in the morning and would be happy to play fetch for 6-8 throws in the afternoon, but mostly, she just wants to chill and hang out with you.

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteer

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.

More about this rescue

Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.
