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.

Meet Fleur, our sweet 11-year-old lady who weighs around 60 pounds. Fleur is a gentle soul who is both housebroken and crate trained. She loves going into her crate on her own and enjoys sleeping with the door open. 🏡 Fleur is a true sunbather and loves laying out in the sun. Nothing seems to phase her, and she has a calm, couch potato demeanor. 🛋️🌞 She does well on leash and prefers to walk slowly and take in her surroundings. 🐾🚶‍♀️ Fleur gets along well with other dogs and will "correct" if a dog is confrontational. She loves every person she meets and is always excited to make new friends. 🐕❤️ She enjoys rolling around outside in the grass, and you might hear her adorable snores when she sleeps. When she's excited, she hops around like a little bunny, and she has a particular fondness for stuffies. 🧸🌿 Fluer has a mass on her bottom that will be removed during her spay ☺️ If you're looking for a loving, calm, and sweet companion, Fleur is the perfect match for you! 🌟🐾

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! ❤️

Stella is a wonderful companion and family dog! She is very loyal, loving, and intelligent. She is perfectly content being a couch potato and sleeping all day, or revving up with zoomies and playing with toys. She has the best of both worlds being a 52 lbs lap dog and a playful pup! She is great with cats, dogs, and children! Her current home has 2 cats which she is eager to be friends with, and a child 6+ who she is friendly and gentle with. She has been around big and small dogs. She is easily trained and food is her biggest motivator. She does not have any resource guarding with toys, but has slight tendencies that could potentially lead to resource guarding issues with food. Stella would do best in a home that has someone in the home all day. She has separation anxiety that can be trained, but due to the severity of it will take time or professional training.

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!

Story
. looking for a loving foster for 8 months at most But if youre looking to keep him youre more than welcome to! Hes very loving/sweet and loves attention/cuddles He has lots of energy. Going on Long walks and being able to run in a yard thats fenced in would be best. I take him out on a leash currently but if hes in a fence he wouldnt have to be leashed. Hes still a puppy and needs reminders to not jump up on people when he gets excited He is completely potty trained and goes immediately after he eats. Hes not good with other dogs or cats because hes never been around them He loves all people but with his energy he would fit best with older kids and adults. He was neutered and has all his vaccines as of this last week He has separation anxiety when it comes to his crate. He can be trusted to be left out of his crate for 6-8 hours. if you need to put him in he will be scared bc he sees it as a punishment unfortunately He can be a very good boy he just needs love a reassurance.

Gracie Belle - Yes, having two names definitely makes me extra special! And believe me, I AM special! I'm not your average pup; I'm a delightful boxer mix with ears that act like radars, always tuned in to the fun and excitement around me. I've got a genuine penchant for adventure and a passion for running that knows no bounds. As I've grown, I've blossomed into a loving and mature young dog. My youthful exuberance is now complemented by a deeper sense of loyalty and affection. I've learned the ropes of good behavior, and I'm ready to be the devoted companion you've been looking for. I'm an active girl, and I thrive alongside other active, friendly dogs or I am good by myself to take all the attention from you :) With my sleek and muscular build, weighing in at about 50-55 pounds, I'm the perfect size for all kinds of outdoor activities. I'd make the ideal companion for a family that loves to keep moving! Do you enjoy running, hiking, camping, boating, or any adventure under the sun? Well, guess what? I'm ready to be your partner in all those exciting escapades. So why wait? Fill out that adoption application today, and let's embark on a lifetime of thrilling journeys together!
