Everyone, meet Petunia, AKA Big Mama.
We. Love. Her. 🥰

She came to us from an Indiana mill. She’s a portly gal weighing in at 56 lbs. The veterinarian estimated her to be anywhere from 5-8 years old.

Big Mama had a life of churning out pups, and thankfully for her, those days are over! She is quite possibly the sweetest girl ever. She wants attention every chance she can get. We discovered she has no teeth. What teeth are still in there are ground down to nubs. It does not stop her from enjoying her food. She just requires soft food. It does allow her tongue to peek out quite frequently, and it’s adorable.

She has a cork screw tail and some serious wrinkles! They will require regular cleaning to keep her healthy and free of infection.

The poor girl has a very big scar on her back. We have no idea what it is from, and we can’t imagine the pain it likely caused her. She is such a happy go lucky soul. You would never know she came from the life she did.

Big Mama Petunia will not be a simple dog. She will require some care (and a diet!). However, what she lacks in ease of care, she makes up for in personality. She is sweet and loving. She enjoys being a shadow and placing herself “where the people are”. She has nothing but love to give. Could you be the one to receive it?

Happy Adoption Day Annabelle! This daughter has been scouring the internet for the perfect dog for her. They inquired about another dog, and we suspected Annabelle was really what they needed. It was an immediate connection, and we think they both just found their new best friend. We look forward to updates! ❤️

For all those that have come and left us far too soon, for those that came and we were privileged enough to love, even if for just a short time, we remember. Sending love to everyone today that has lost a treasured four legged family member. The hurt is deep, but the love, the love is what makes us keep on and open our hearts to another. 💕 They are always remembered, and really and truly, always in our hearts.

This. All of it.

We are full. Our big dogs are not being adopted. Dogs are coming in neither neutered or spayed, at an alarming rate. Dogs are being dumped on the sides of roads, in parks, at the warden, at our door.

STOP breeding your dogs! Spay and neuter your dogs! This is a CRISIS, and we aren’t kidding. It is a national crisis. Dogs are being euthanized at an alarming rate, and these rescues have no choice. They have no room. They have no extra funding. We do NOT euthanize for space, but we are struggling. It is like treading water with weights on our feet. We can’t maintain it. We need donations, we need volunteers, we need responsible pet owners. Help make a difference.

THE HEARTBREAK REALITY 🐾

This is long but important – please read to the end. We feel like the public may not be aware of the current animal crisis we are experiencing nationwide and right here at home.

So, here's an update:

• The animal shelters are full (6.5 million animals entered shelters in 2023 – an all-time high)
• The rescues are full
• No-kill shelters are full
• Adoptions are at an all-time low
• Intakes is at an all-time high
• Euthanasia for space is at an all-time high

- NOTE: FDHS is a no-kill shelter -

Our shelter is seeing an alarming increase in "stray" dogs. While there are stray/feral cats that live outside on their own in our community, that is NOT the case with dogs. “Stray” dogs that come to our facility are not strays – they are somebody’s pets…period. Pets that simply never get reclaimed. Many are arriving in heartbreaking conditions. They are coming to us in pairs. They are coming to us with poor skin conditions, wounds, tumors, and in some cases, pregnant mamas or elderly dogs who need extra care.

Breeders are surrendering ENTIRE LITTERS, parents included. They aren't selling – however, they continue to breed, which is one of the MAIN reasons for this nationwide problem. A problem that is prominent in Ohio. Look it up on the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s site. There are now over 500 high-volume dog breeders registered in Ohio with very little regulation. This number has doubled in recent years because it has become a lucrative business. Puppies, pregnant moms, and good young pets are being euthanized daily. There is simply not enough space or homes willing to adopt.

Bottom line, we are at and over capacity most of the time these days. It has never been like this in the past. Our staff and volunteers work tirelessly - 7 days a week to care for these animals. What can you do to help? Don’t get angry with us, other shelters, or rescues because we are full and can’t take in any more animals. Spay/neuter your pets. Train your dog. They are fine being home while you work—they sleep most of the day anyway. When you are home – give them some love. If you need help, there are organizations that can assist with food and there are grants for medical care. If you need to rehome your pet, use a service like Adopt-A-Pet’s rehoming options for individuals. Don’t just give them to anyone. These animals deserve better, and we need your help to give them a second chance at life. If you are able, please consider adopting, fostering, or donating to help us provide the care and love these dogs desperately need while we try to find them a new home. Together, we can make a difference. ❤️

We have a sweet little new guy that is fresh from a bath and a groom. Meet Nuggett! 🐶 Nuggett has been around other dogs and cats and also children. Nuggett’s ideal home would be a quieter one where he can be someone’s companion and spend time lounging on a lap or a comfy couch. Too much action in a home is overwhelming for Nuggett. Retired and looking for a furry pal? Nuggett would be so perfect! He is a four year old maltese shih tzu mix.

Nuggett’s adoption fee is $400. This gets him up to date on everything he needs!

You can apply to meet Nuggett at our link: https://fchsohio.org/adopt-form/
