Story
They call me Chloe, but you can call me your new best friend! I am a really sweet gal who is looking to be the only pet in my forever home. Believe me, I have enough good looks and personality that you won`t even need to think about other dogs or cats. I love stuffed animals, treats and when people tell me I`m pretty. I`m hoping you`ll save a spot for me next to you on the couch!

My name is Cooper and let me tell you, I am ALWAYS ready for a good time. I`m a high energy, full throttle kind of guy and I can`t wait to come along with you on this ride called life. I`m looking to join an active household who will give me the physical and mental stimulation my breed requires to keep me happy and fulfilled. I am friendly with other dogs and will never turn down a chin scratch or a treat. I think we could have a beautiful life together- I just need you to take the first step and fill out the application!

Story
Hey! I’m Walter! I’ve been with Fetch for awhile now, and I’m STILL looking for my forever family. Let me reintroduce myself:   I’m a happy boy who likes to be a part of what’s going on. Whether we’re making dinner, you’re showering, or doing laundry - doesn’t matter to me as long as we’re together. I can supervise any project you got goin on! I am always excited to show you what I have. I am kennel/crate trained and I know to do my business outside! I’m strong, like you can tell I work out and all that. I know how to walk nicely on a leash but sometimes I seriously forget it’s even attached, this nose of mine is soooo powerful it’s crazy. I am special, my foster mom says it all the time. Just to make sure I get enough love and attention, it would be best if I am the only “good boy” in my forever home. I run like a graceful rhino and my white hair is so silky soft you won’t be able to resist loving on me. I have gotten myself into a couple situations and I really want to leave my troubled past behind me and move forward with people who get me. People who know tell me that I need structure and leadership: if you let me be the pack leader, I will take advantage of that situation.   I love training and learning, my foster mom is kick butt cool at it, she has lots more information for you since I am sooo special, so apply and let’s get this party started!   Apply here: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt   Name: Walter   Sex: Male   Breed: Pitbull/Basset Hound mix   Age: 4 years   Weight: 50 lbs   Current on vaccines: Yes   Altered: Yes   Microchipped: Yes   Adoption: 200   Good with Cats: No   Good with other Dogs: Prefers to be the only dog   Good with Kids: Possibly   *Special Requirements: Needs to be the only dog in the home.   *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member. It can also help set up a relationship with greater odds of success integrating your new pet into your family. Anyone who provides proof of completed positive reinforcement training will receive a 100 dollar refund from Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc! If you have questions or are wondering if the class you want to take qualifies please reach out! ♥   Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization ##946607##

Story
Hey, I’m Raine! Please, allow me to re-introduce myself. Previously, my bestie Blossom and I were looking for a home together but as you can see, that didn't work out. We've both been waiting for over 3 years to find a family to adopt us. We've come to the decision that maybe it's time to go our separate ways and grow and thrive in our own environments.Though I really did enjoy the company of Blossom, I tend to have a hard time making new canine friends. So in other words, I'd prefer to be the only dog in the home. Outside of not being good at making new friends I’m one of the most relaxed, easy-going gals you’ll ever meet! I love ALL humans, which includes kids! I love snuggles too. I’m house trained and just perfect in my crate.I've been told that I'm one of the silliest, funnest gals you’ll meet! Once I know and trust you, I'm good off leash and I don't mind kitties either! If you don’t currently have any other pups and you’re willing to open your home to me, I promise I'll be worth it and won’t let you down! I just need a chance.Apply to meet me, Raine. I would be soooo happy to meet you!Apply here: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adoptNames: RaineAges: 4 yearsWeight: 40 lbsBreed: Bully mixSex: FemalesAltered: YesGood with Cats: Yes, I don't mind kittiesGood with Dogs: No other dogs in the home, please.Good with Kids: Yes, I've loved the little ones I've been around!*Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member.

Story
I`m so glad to have caught your attention! My name is Xena and I`m single and loving it...but looking for a human. I`ve shown aggression to other dogs in and out of the shelter setting so I`ll need an experienced owner who can keep me in environments and situations where I can be successful. I LOVE to play and cannot wait to start living my best life with you. I know that I can be a great companion to someone who likes to keep their circle small and won`t give up on me.

Story
My name is Kate and I`m so happy to be here. I know that probably sounds strange, right? I mean a dog who is happy to be in the shelter? But it`s true. I`ve been in some pretty bad places and have lived a hard life but you`re going to help me change all of that. I`m ready to live a life after dog fighting and a life I can be proud of- one full of love, safety, squeak toys and all the snuggles a girl could ask for. I do have some baggage that I`ll always carry with me from the life I used to live but I`m hoping that with your help the load won`t feel as heavy. I will need to be the only pet in the household and we won`t be taking any trips to the dog park or having play dates with your friend`s dogs. I`ll just be here in my kennel waiting for you to fill out the application!
