My story

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

Buddy is a handsome and friendly, 8-year-old terrier mix, who knows age is just a number! He is an active, little guy, who loves going for walks, playing tug, and chasing the ball during a round of fetch. Buddy is house trained, knows the commands sit and stay, and is very people motivated to learn more commands. He also enjoys relaxing and being in your lap while you read a book or watch a movie. He walks well on the leash and enjoys meeting other little dogs. He can be apprehensive about interacting with bigger dogs, but is learning to overcome his insecurities. He can be vocal during a rousing game of tug or when he sees his leash, but mostly because he is happy and excited. Buddy is doing well as the only dog in his foster home and would be fine as an only dog. He would probably adapt to living with another dog once he knows his role in the pack. If you are looking for a loyal friend, who successfully balances activity and downtime, then this Bud's for 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.
