From Mac’s foster:
Happy Howl O Ween from the least scary pittie I’ve ever met! (And I’ve met some certified couch potatoes!)

We can’t believe Big Mac is spending another holiday season in foster. Please share to help him find his forever home!

Happy National Pitbull Awareness Day from the Simpsons litter 💛 Homer, Marge, Bart & Lisa are 8 weeks old - spunky, loving, cute as can be and ready to find their forever homes!

10/20/2024

Welcome, little ones. At 3.5 weeks old, these two have already been through so much in their short lives. Their mama had a “home” where she was kept outside in a junkyard, and that’s where she was raising her puppies. For unknown reasons, she started attacking them and sadly, several of the pups didn’t make it. The remainder were surrendered to the shelter, one with noticeable injuries, and it was determined she has a fractured skull. With the help of antibiotics and pain meds, her physical wounds are expected to heal. At this time, we aren’t sure if she has any long term brain damage that will affect her quality of life. Only time will tell and we’re hoping for the best.

So far, both pups are doing very well. Chili (male, darker) is a sweet, easy going boy. He hardly makes a peep and he’s very affectionate. Chili’s routine is more or less “eat, sleep, repeat.” On the other hand, his sister is a busy body. We named her Habanero because girlfriend is *spicy.* She likes to voice her opinion, she’s fiercely independent and obviously very resilient.

We’re hopeful these two have long, healthy lives ahead of them and we’re glad we could give them a fighting chance. Stay tuned for updates!

[Adoptable] Dusty came to us after he was surrendered to the shelter with ten other senior dogs. He was thin, a little shy and not interested in much. Watching him come out of his shell has been incredibly rewarding and now he’s ready for the perfect forever home, where he’ll be loved and spoiled in his golden years.
Dusty is affectionate, silly, and low key. He spends most of his time burrowing in his bed/blankets (he takes nesting very seriously) or exploring the yard. We aren’t sure of his age but he’s definitely an older fella with very little, if any, vision. It doesn’t stop him from getting what he wants which is usually to be held, or to eat. He doesn’t have a whole lot of teeth but that doesn’t slow him down. He’s 6lbs but he has the appetite of a 60lb dog 🤣 If you’re looking for an itty bitty, easy senior, this is your guy!

[Adoptable] Bambi is a tiny little thing with a big ole personality. She’s smart, independent, confident and busy - the epitome of “puppy energy.” She’s doing well with house and crate training and picks up on things very quickly.
Bambi’s breed(s) are unknown but at 4-5 months old she’s fairly petite at just 13lbs. Despite her tiny size she can hold her own! Her ideal adopter will provide her with plenty of exercise and structure. She’d love a fur sibling that doesn’t mind her rowdy play style but she’d do great as an only dog too.

Adoptable Binx is PERFECTION! He’s a well behaved, easy going boy who loves everyone he meets. He’s happy to adventure and happy to chill. He’s just over 5 months old and ~35lbs of sweet, snuggly pup. He’d be a great fit for just about anyone!

Did you know that black dogs/black animals as a whole are most likely to be overlooked, regardless of age, breed, size, health or temperament? National Black Dog Day was founded to help raise awareness about “black dog syndrome” and showcase all of the amazing, black dogs in need.

Visit our website to learn more about Cider, Binx & Rebel and please share to help them find their forever homes!

Adopted!
Cider is a social pup who loves to make new friends. He wiggles with excitement with every dog and human he sees. With his moderate energy, he’s the perfect balance of playful and calm—he’ll happily join you for a walk around the neighborhood, then settle in for a nap.

Cider would be great in an apartment. He’s not a big barker and does really well in his crate. He loves other dogs but he’d also be perfectly content as an “only child” - he very much enjoys snuggling with his humans. If you’re looking for a sweet, easy-going pup
this is your guy!

Today marks three weeks since Peej’s bilateral enucleation aka surgery to remove both eyes.
Recovery was a bit rocky but she’s a trooper. She’s feeling a whole lot better and somehow she’s even cuter than before 🥹

Adopted!
From his foster: Dallas might be my easiest foster yet! He’s calm 85% of the time and when he plays he’s super silly. He’s very smart and food motivated. He’s a little timid when it comes to unfamiliar places, sounds etc but he’s getting braver every day. He’s sweet, snuggly and loves everyone he meets. He’s basically the perfect puppy!

It goes without saying, Dallas is absolutely adorable. We aren’t sure of his breed(s.) He’s ~4 months old and 15lbs. We anticipate he’ll be medium-large when fully grown. If you’re interested in adopting, visit our website to review our adoption requirements and submit an application.

Adopted!

Rebel is a feisty, goofy girl with ears that have a mind of their own. She loves wrestling with her foster sister and has been known to steal a shoe or two but Rebel isn’t all mischief - she’s super affectionate, loves to be held/cuddled and gives the BEST hugs.

She’s progressing well with crate training, house training and walking on leash. She’s all puppy at home, but timid when she’s outside her comfort zone. She can be skittish with unfamiliar sounds, places etc. and it’s important that her future adopter is committed to training to help her continue to gain confidence.

Rebel’s ideal home would be on the quieter/calmer side. A busy environment would probably be a little overwhelming for her. She LOVES other dogs and would do great with a confident fur-sibling to help show her the ropes, but she’d also be glad to be the center of attention.

Pupdate: Sprout had an ultrasound to recheck her kidneys on Friday and we’re happy to report things are looking much better! Another two weeks of meds, then we’re hoping she’ll be cleared and can resume water therapy 🙌🏼

09/12/2024

Adopted!
Trixie is the life of the party! She walks into every room like she owns the place and she’s delighted to be the center of attention. She loves all dogs, big and small. She holds her own but she’s also super respectful of dogs who aren’t interested in playing and she’s been great with kids as well!

She’s excitable and fairly energetic, but with a moderate amount of enrichment and exercise she’s a happy camper. This little lady sleeps all night in her crate without a peep and is doing great with potty training and leash walking.

Her breed(s) are unknown but 4-5 months old she’s right around 10lbs. Overall, Trixie is an easy pup and would fit in just about anywhere!

Binx (red collar) and Cider (white toes) were recently rescued from a not-so-great situation. Adjusting to a new normal was a little scary at first, but in just a week’s time they’ve warmed up to their new surroundings and their personalities have started to shine. They’re learning what it means to be happy, healthy, well-loved pups and they’ll be ready for their forever homes soon!

We’re so grateful our friends at jumped in to ensure these boys were safe, along with their six littermates. A large litter of puppies is quite the undertaking, so we were happy to welcome these two to FCRR. It takes a village!

Tomorrow is surgery day!
We’ve raised about $2,000 toward Parker’s procedure. She will *not* be getting spayed tomorrow, so our total estimate remains at $4,000. We’d be super appreciative of any additional support, including shares!
I’m nervous, of course, but I know she’ll be in very capable hands. Please keep her in your thoughts. She’s a tough little girl but she’s been through so much already 🤍

Bossy? Maybe. Adorable? Definitely. Formal intro coming soon!

Monday got me like 😴 - Adoptable Winnie Volume up for the cutest puppy snores ever

4 weeks old and growing way too fast 🥹

We have some very busy three week olds! Everyone is on the move and finding their voices. The largest of the litter (by far) is already over 3lbs. The babies are working on lapping from a dish and mama Latte will be VERY happy when she no longer has to nurse them. She is a fantastic mom but taking care of 11 rugrats is a lot of work!

Welcome to the ranch, Rhett.At just 4 months old, this little guy hasn’t had the best start to life. Despite what he’s been through, he is as sweet and happy as ever. We’re grateful for our friends at @animals_clt @friends_of_cmas for advocating for him and for our fosters and transport volunteers who made it possible to pull him.Rhett is on the road to recovery but in true puppy fashion, he’s not a big fan of “down time.” We’ve added some items to our wishlist to help keep him happy, busy and comfy. Once he’s healed and we’ve learned more about his personality, this adorable little tripod will be looking for his forever home.

An anniversary we wish we weren’t celebrating. Today marks one year in rescue for Big Mac 😔. On this day last year, he was scheduled to be euthanized after spending weeks at @voicesforlancaster.scanimals, where he was shutting down due to the stressful environment. His angel of a foster drove to the shelter ON HER WEDDING DAY to save his life. Mac has come such a long way over the last year. At 7-8 years old he truly deserves to find his forever family and live out the rest of his days being loved and spoiled. He’s a simple guy who mostly enjoys lounging around. He won’t turn down the chance to go on an outing but prefers the type of adventures where he doesn’t have to do much 😆 He gets super excited about new things for approximately 5 minutes, then he’s ready for a nap. Mac generally does well with other dogs but being an older gentleman he appreciates his space and we think he would be happiest as the only pet. He adores people, kids included. Treats and belly rubs are the way to his heart and he doesn’t need much more to be content. Please share this sweet, deserving guy 🖤
