My story

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

Ash’s story is one that tugs at every heartstring. This sweet Boxer mix was brought to FDHS as an injured stray, likely the victim of a car accident. When we first met him, his eyes were full of pain, but there was still a glimmer of hope. Shortly after being posted as a stray, Ash’s owner came forward, devastated. Life had taken a harsh turn, and after many tears, they made the heart-wrenching decision to surrender Ash so he could get the care he desperately needed.

Ash was rushed to the vet, where we discovered he had a severely dislocated hip that required surgery. Without hesitation, we got him the help he needed, knowing that this sweet boy deserved every chance at recovery. Now, Ash is in the midst of healing and is beginning to take adoption applications to find his forever home. 

Despite everything he’s been through, Ash’s spirit hasn’t dimmed. He’s a younger dog who bonds deeply with his people, and all he wants is to be loved. Ash is gentle, sweet, and friendly with everyone he meets—dogs, cats, kids, you name it. He just needs a home where he can feel safe, loved, and start fresh.

Ash has had a rough journey, but we know there’s a happy ending waiting for him. Could you be the one to give him the forever home he deserves? 💙
