Story

Hi, my name is Wyatt! Despite my wagging tail, I'm actually super sad to be back at the Center. I was brought here with my brother Toby, you see, we are kind of bonded brothers and we do the absolute best together. We thought we found our furrever with our most recent family but my brother struggles a little bit with separation anxiety and I don't. The family just couldn't figure out the best way to comfort him so they brought both of us back here. We do love each other very much and we understand if we can't find a home together, although, we would absolutely love to be able to do that. I'm a little more laid back than my brother, more of a follower I guess, and I don't seem to have the same anxiety as my brother. I know basic commands I'm a super sweet friendly guy. My ideal home would be obviously one that my brother could come too, if not, I'm looking for a somewhat active family to help keep me busy and spend lots of timew with me. I love to play outside, but I also love to snuggle up on the couch and just hang out on those lazy weekends. I'm a very well behaved man, and it's time for me to be able to leave this kennel once and for all and find my devoted, absolute forever, is that with you?? ##493477##

Story

Well hello there, my name is Hercules! I am a 4 year old Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd mix! I was surrendered here to FCAC due to my owners not having much time to spend with me and me having separation anxiety. You see, I really need a family who is going to be able to spend lots of quality time with me! I just want to be loved and to love you... like all day long! My previous owners did note that I can be a little destructive if I am left alone for too long so I will need a home with constant lovings! I am only 4 years old but I do act a little bit like a grandpa, in the best way! I am very calm and laid back! I can get a little playful with toys at times but really, I just like to relax and soak in everything around me! I have never lived with other dogs, cats, or kids but I do believe if they are laid back like me I will do just fine! If you have any of the above the girls here at the center can introduce me to a few so I can see what I think! Although to be honest, I wouldn't mind being the center of attention I am neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and my adoption fee is $80! ##562003##

Story

Hi, I'm Toby! I know I'm wagging my tail but I just want you to know I'm so sad to be back at the Center with my brother Wyatt. You see, we are pretty bonded brothers and we were originally brought to the Center because we are large and we were just a bit too much for our previous family to care for. Now we've returned because our most recent family noted that I have a bit of separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is extremely common and can be dealt with, with certain medications that luckily are relatively inexpensive. I'd love to find a home where my brother could come with but I do understand that it might not be possible for me, but it can't hurt to try. I know basic commands and I'm an extremely sweet guy. The ideal home for me would be a family who will be prepared for possible separation anxiety behavior, I'd need things to keep me occupied if you are gone, and possible medication to help me through it. I'd also do well in a home where someone is home a decent amount of the time to where I'm just not by myself, either or! Otherwise I'm a very well behaved boy, and I am trying my hardest to find the right fit for me, the kennel is definitely not where I want to be! Could you be my forever?? ##493476##

Story

Meet Liam (now named Ollie). This sweet boy was adopted from us in November. He is now 11 months old. We received a call from his adopters and they do not believe they are a good fit for him. Since we are closed to the public due to COVID19 we are assisting them to find him an appropriate new home so that he does not have to return to our shelter where he would spend many hours in a kennel since we have limited staff. Ollie initially came to us as a terrified puppy from animal control. He was found abandoned in the woods with another puppy and an adult dog (presumably his mother) that was shot dead. Understandably, he was apprehensive of people and was slow to warm up. But once comfortable, he is a goofy and rambunctious boy. Now almost at a year old, he is at that "naughty teenager" stage. The family's biggest complaints are that he is unruly on walks (reactive towards strange people and other animals). They know he needs training but do not have the time. They said he would do better with a fenced yard. They do have another dog, but it took some time for Ollie to warm up to it. Occasionally there were scuffles over food but it was instigated by the other dog. They do not have cats but based on how he reacts to stray cats they recommend a home without them. Since they were not able to let him outside frequently he is still not 100% potty trained. They also say he plays rough with their younger kids. Does better with bigger/older children. No intentions of hurting, but gets overexcited and won't calm when it's time. Basically-- still a puppy!! But the family made it clear to me several times that Liam is a good dog but they just don't have the time to train him. Can someone help get this boy off on the right foot? He sure has had a rough start! He is neutered. There will be no adoption fee if we can adopt him out from his current home. ##509947##

Yondu was born November 6 2018. He is a male, fixed full English Shepherd. He is full of life and energy. He is a lover boy and has always been inside our home. He loves people and he has done great with other dogs, he does fine with cats as well. We want nothing but the best for him. He is completely potty trained. We think he needs land to run and get his energy out, and someone to give him lots of attention and love.
