Story
This sweet senior pittie is Chewy!At almost 9 years old, this handsome guy still has lots of pep in his step! Recently surrendered due to his previous owner's health issues, Chewy is now looking for a loving home where he doesn't have to be alone too often. He is a very strong boy and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard or someone able to take him on leash walks a few times a day.Chewy absolutely LOVES people and has a bit of separation anxiety, so he's looking for a family who can be with him as much as possible. He's been fine around other animals so far and hasn't minded the shelter dogs. Chewy is a wonderful companion ready for his perfect retirement home- could it be with you?He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and UTD on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention as well as his vaccinations.

Meet Cinnabon, the sweetest little wiggle-butt you’ll ever meet! This fan-favorite has captured the hearts of everyone at FDHS with his loving personality and adorable quirks.Cinnabon came to us from a tough situation, but you’d never know it from his sunny disposition.

His loveable nature and endless affection make him impossible not to fall for.Let’s talk about his looks—he’s as unique as his name! Cinnabon has a cute little pink nose, big soulful green eyes that could melt the iciest heart, and the pièce de résistance: a silly little tail that curls like a cinnamon swirl. It’s likely the result of an old injury, but it doesn’t bother him at all—if anything, it just adds to his charm!If you’re ready to add a little sweetness to your life, come meet Cinnabon. He’s ready to find his forever family and shower them with wiggles, cuddles, and endless love.

Dot is an energetic young girl who loves attention. Shy around strangers, she needs a safe environment where she can build trust and feel secure. She will need patient introductions to people and animals in the home and continued reinforcement on basic manners, leash walking, housebreaking and boundaries. She is excitedly interested in cats and small animals but has not been tested one-on-one and may be a bit strong and enthusiastic for a household with small children. Miss Dottie enjoys tagging along with her favorite people, playing fetch, going outside to run and being the center of attention.

Story
Hi, I'm Ash. I've been through a lot, and I'm still searching for my happy ending. When I first came to FDHS, I was in rough shape. I was a stray with a painful hip injury and was pretty freaked out. The kind people at FDHS took care of me, fixed my hip, and showed me lots of love. I got adopted once and for a little while, I though I'd found my forever. But it turns out it wasn't the right fit. I don't really do tell with being left alone for long periods. It makes me feel scared and unsure- I need someone I know I can count on to come back for me. I prefer a quieter lifestyle and would love nothing more than a steady home where I can feel safe and loved. I'll be honest- I'm a little stubborn sometimes, but I'm also a really big softie who loves really hard. I'll be your shadow, your protector, and your biggest fan. I get along fine with other animals, but because of my hip, I need a more gentle playmate. I just want a person who won't give up on me. Someone who sees my past quirks and understands that I've been hurt before. If you can give me the love and stability I've been searching for, I promise to give you my whole heart in return.Will you be my forever?**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 55 lbs**

Story
Hi there! I’m Emmett, and I’m so excited to meet you!I’m a little Boxer mix with a big heart and even bigger wiggles. My journey started in a place called Riverside Cemetery, where the very kind Dog Warden man found me and brought me here. I waited and waited, but no one came to take me home. That’s okay, though, because now I’m ready to find my forever family—and I just can't wait!I’m all puppy, which means I’m full of happy energy and love. I can’t help but smile and wiggle when I see new friends (and everyone’s a friend in my book). I’m still learning all the important dog stuff, so I’ll need a family with time and patience to teach me how to be the best boy ever. I promise to make you proud!If you’re looking for a goofy, lovable pup to fill your days with laughter and love, pick me! I can’t wait to start my new life with you!
