Story
URGENT SITUATION! PLEASE MEET SAMI! Sami is a sweet senior at 9 years old. She is urgently looking for a long term foster family which may lead to an eventual adoption for the right family. Sami's life is up in the air & she needs a special family to give her a home until it gets figured out. Sami's mom has been living in a medical facility, hoping to one day be reunited with Sami, but that is looking like a very long way off, if ever. Because of this, Sami's needs are being financially taken care of by mom. Sami is true couch potato She does not like walks or spending too much time outdoors. She goes out to do her business & heads back inside to her couch. It is a MUST that Sami be allowed on the couch as this has always been her favorite spot. Sami also loves splashing in the kiddie pool. Please see how wonderful Sami is in the attached videos: https://youtu.be/tk82T1Be0Vc https://youtu.be/zRU3Ut2kpHo Sami loves people & is very affectionate. Sami must be the only animal. If you can offer sweet Sami a place to stay with a couch & lots of love, please email us asap at fanabalasanctuary@gmail.com. * INDOOR HOME ONLY.

Story
MEET SCRAPPY: Scrappy was found wandering in a local park and he is settling in well at his foster home. He gets excited when greeting someone he knows, but generally has a sweet, calm demeanor. He seems happiest when he can climb into the lap of a familiar person. He may be a bit shy at first, but he warms up quickly with a gentle approach and snacks! His foster family has a curious cat, and while they have not been formally introduced, he mostly ignores her and other small critters he has seen on his walks. He has not been around children or other dogs thus far. Scrappy is well crate-trained and is quickly learning not to pull when walking on a leash. He prefers not to venture too far from home-base on his walks, but that may change as he becomes more comfortable in a new home. Scrappy is up to date on all vaccines & vet care. He will be neutered before adoption. If you would like to make this sweet, loving, affectionate guy a permanent part of your family, please reach out to us asap at fanabalasanctuary@gmail.com for an application. Adoption fee applies. Scrappy is located in Rochester, New York, but can travel for the right family. * INDOOR HOME ONLY.

Debi is a 2-3 year old pitty weighing in around 50lbs of pure sweetness. 🥰 Debi is the HAPPIEST and SWEETEST girl you will ever meet! Her tail is constantly wagging and she has the biggest, most gorgeous pittie smile! She loves everyone that she meets; adults, kids, cats and dogs! Debi LOVES to cuddle on the couch and is always down to do whatever you want, as long as she can be by your side! 💜Debi LOVES the outdoors! 🏔️ She is always up to go out exploring and having new adventures. Debi is crate trained and knows simple commands. Debi was found as a stray in Rochester. She was skin and bones and in desperate need of medical attention when she came to us. 🥺 Debi has an abnormal neurological exam, and walks a little funny. Her doctors believe that she suffered some sort of trauma such as being hit by a car. She is unable to urinate on her own and needs her bladder to be expressed daily. She is also incontinent with feces, but that's nothing a cute diaper can't fix! Debbi can go up to 8 hours without a diaper change! Debi is the most loving and loyal girl and we know the right home is out there for her! She needs an understanding and patient home with someone who is able to manage her medical needs. She will repay you with unconditional love and snuggles for the rest of her days! ❤️

Fig is ready to find her forever home! 🏡 She is 5 years old and around 54 lbs. She is not currently using a crate and when left home alone, she just hangs out on the couch and she nearly has mastered potty training! Fig's foster says she is the sweetest and world's BEST snuggler dog! 💖 Every morning, Fig gets super excited to go in and wake her human foster brother by jumping on his bed! 🥰🤭 Fig is always happy to see her humans come home and love up on them with a big bear hug! 😍 Fig is dog friendly, unsure on cats and due to her playfulness and size, she'll do best with children 12 and older. Fig's best home will be with a family or someone who will continue working with her on giving a signal for potty and giving her daily exercise. She is learning to have spunk again 💗 and will need to release that energy! Fig is cool with everyone and is great with her foster human siblings. Ready to make memories with the BEST snuggler? Fig can't wait to meet you! 🫶

Allow me to introduce Philly, a handsome 5 year old gentlemen! Philly can be a bit nervous at first, but once he is comfortable around you he will show his true silly self. Philly loves snacks, so winning him over can be easy with the help of yummy treats and patience. Philly is still working on his overall manners so a home with older children or adults would be ideal for him. Philly has also lived with dogs in the past and has done well, so if you have any resident dogs our adoption counselors can see if they are a good match! If Philly sounds like he could be the one, come to Lollypop Farm to meet him!

Story
Ellie is a 6-year-old mixed breed. She is crate-trained and house-trained. She has a good understanding of manners off and on leash. Ellie is sweet and fun-loving. She loves to give kisses and get lots of pets. Walking, playing fetch, chewing on her bones, and sprinting around the back yard are just a few of her favorite things. Her favorite pass time is looking out the window and watching as people and cars go by (she won’t miss a squirrel, either). She is sweet to people of all ages but would do best in a home without young kids as she prefers predictability. She knows many commands including: sit, stay, place, come, leave it, crate, relax, release, and wait. Ellie has been trained with and without an e-collar. She does resource guard her food, toys, and bones and therefore does not get along well with other dogs. She has never been around cats.

We have someone special we'd like you to meet! 😍 Please welcome Sunny! She is a 2 year old pit mix. This happy girl has been living the good life with her foster family for the past few months! Check out what she has to say about her new life! "I really like it here with my foster moms, so far I have learned: ✨I love to watch tv! My favorite shows are the office, true crime, scary, and action movies! ✨My mom says I’m a super chewer, not sure what that means but sounds to me like I’m a super hero of some kind! 💪 ✨Just because I have 3 legs doesn’t mean it slows me down! I’m the fastest dog in the wild Wild West 🏃‍♀️💨! I love to run in the yard, get zoomies in the house, and slide on the wood floors! Sometimes I do bump into things, but foster mom says bumper cars are fun! ✨I’m a fast learner 📚✏️🎓! My trainer even says so! I’m working hard on my manners and doing really good! ✨I’m potty and crate trained! ✨I love HUMANS!! I mean they are kinda goofy looking but I love snuggling, playing, being pet, and spending time with them! My foster mom calls me her shadow! I can even hug them if they let me!! Hugs and Licks, Sunny Bunny 🐰❤️" If your interested in adopting this girl, or just want to learn more information, check out our website!

Meet Cyan! She’s a one year old female, dog and kid friendly, spayed, and up to date on vaccines! She has Basset Hound like-legs that turn out and look quite unique! Yet they don’t slow her down whatsoever and don’t need any treatment! Here’s what her foster has to say about this love bug!! Cuddler alert!! Cyan just wants to be near her people. While I work at home she lays next to me wherever I am, lulling me with her soft breathing. She’s not at all demanding, but she has adorable zoomies and likes to play ball or chase. She takes treats very gentle, and even eats without a mess. She is excellent while walking; rarely goes ahead of me, and a gentle tug brings her right back to my side. She LOVES rides, and she’s good with kids. She’s also a good guard dog as she alerts every time there is an unusual noise. It only took her a week to know her limits in our household. She’s such a good baby! Please email us if you’d be interested in meeting Cyan!! petstophererescue@gmail.com
