Our adoptable Pepper (aka Miss Spicy 🌶️) is a senior treasure waiting to be discovered.💫 Recently, she enjoyed a beautiful day at Mount Vernon with her foster family, which also includes TFP alum Shilo!🥰

Pepper absolutely loves meeting new people and is fantastic company on all sorts of outings, whether it's a stroll through a park or a relaxed afternoon at a winery or brewery.

While she enjoys leisurely walks, she's also eager for car rides and exploring new places, just like her recent adventure at Mt. Vernon! We're pretty sure she'd thrive as the center of attention in any social scene.

Pepper gets along wonderfully with both dogs 🐕 and cats, 🐈‍⬛ making her a versatile companion who can fit into a variety of homes.

Don't let her age fool you; Pepper has a vibrant spirit and an abundance of love to give. Senior dogs offer a unique kind of love – a calm, devoted companionship that's truly special.
If you’re ready to welcome this sweet, social girl into your life? Learn how to apply to adopt Pepper by visiting her webpage at https://www.fureverproject.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20938736.

Wilbur is now accepting applications for adoption 🙏🐾❤

Don't miss your chance to welcome Wilbur into your family! Applications Now Open!

We're thrilled to announce that we're accepting adoption applications for this cutie!! This sweet boy is currently just a smidge over 9 weeks old and exudes puppy charm.🥰

Wilbur's DNA results show a unique mix: he's 35% Staffordshire Terrier and 25% Alaskan Malamute, with the remaining 40% an interesting but delightful blend of other breeds.

While we're eager to find Wilbur his forever home, he won't be able to go to his new family until after he's been neutered. This procedure will take place after he turns 12-weeks old, provided he has a clean f***l test.

Ready to learn more about this handsome pup and submit your application? Head over to Wilbur's webpage for tons of cute photos and all the details on how to apply:

An overcrowded, loud shelter is no place for any dog, much less young puppies. The health risks alone in that environment can be life-threatening for puppies (some of the most vulnerable).

Many thanks to three of our dedicated fosters, each playing a vital role in making it possible for The Furever Project to welcome these two babies into our care yesterday.

Cookie (brown & white) is a 5-6 month old, female, mixed breed and the other (black) an adorable 2-month old, male, mixed breed who is yet to be named!

Stay tuned for updates on their progress as they get vetted, settled, into their foster homes, and become ready for adoption.

We'll be sharing their journey with you every step of the way!❤️🐾

Look at our adoptable Luca (right) getting in some snuggles with his foster sister Polly.❤️🥰

Luca is good with other dogs and kids of all ages. He is playful but also quite the couch potato. 🛋️🥔 One of Luca’s favorite activities is laying outside soaking up the sunshine.☀️

Luca is a people pleaser. He loves hanging out with his people, is very friendly, and is happy receiving pets from any one who will oblige.😊
