🎉 Adoption Announcement: Guava Found Her Human! 🎉

After 171 LONG days of waiting, sweet Guava has finally found her perfect match! ❤️🐶

Guava came to us as a stray back in August with her sister, Kiwi. While Kiwi found a loving home, Guava waited patiently for her own special person to come along. That day finally arrived, and now Guava has her very own Dad and a tiny but mighty new sibling to show her the ropes! 🐾

We are so excited for this special girl as she begins her next adventure! 🥰🏡 We can’t wait for all the pupdates 📸🐕 to come.

Congratulations, Guava—your happily ever after has begun! 🎊💕

Garlic Bread – A Little Spice, A Lot of Nice

Single mom. Survivor. Certified lap warmer.

Garlic Bread came to us in tough shape, but this queen has risen. She raised two adorable kittens (Spaghetti & Meatball, if you’re wondering) and is finally ready to be the center of attention.

Loves: head scratchies, cozy naps, and all the compliments.
Hates: being ignored (she will remind you).

Looking for someone to shower her with love, treats, and the royal treatment she knows she deserves. Swipe right—err, apply today—to meet your new feline soulmate!

Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Puppy in the Tub! 🛁🐶✨

Say hello to Noel, the fluffiest, happiest, most sparkling clean Husky girl! At just a year old, this sweet fluffball has been living her best life in an awesome foster home, but she’s ready to upgrade to a forever family! 💕

Noel is a total social butterfly. 🐾 She adores the company of other pets, thrives in the buzz of a busy household, and loves being part of the action. She’s a smarty-paws too—she’s already mastered several commands and is crushing her house-training routine like a pro! 🏡🎓

Here’s the cherry on top 🍒: Noel’s foster mom runs a grooming and boarding business, so this gorgeous girl is always looking and smelling fabulous. 💅✨ She’s totally used to the spa life and will gladly keep up her glam grooming routine in her new home. Talk about a model pup!

If you’re ready for a fun, friendly, and freshly-fluffed forever friend, Noel is your girl. She’s got the looks, the smarts, and a heart full of love just for you! Fill out an application for her today—she’s paws-itively perfect! 🐕❄️💖

🤩🎉🏡 HAPPY GOTCHA DAYS!! 🏡🎉🤩

Barkley and Kenai both found their forever homes this week!

Barkley was a dog that came to us from a humane case where he had been failed by the humans that were supposed to love him. Barkley came to us as a heartworm positive dog and has underwent treatment to get a second chance! His new family fell in love with him right away, he charmed them with his adorable little butt-wiggles and sweet nature.

Kenai came to us as a terrified stray with his brother Koda (still available!). Kenai was very timid and smelled terrible. It was obvious he wasn't used to being around people. His new owner saw him online and knew he was "the one!". After five minutes of warming up, Kenai was giving his new dad kisses and let him carry him out into the car!

We are so excited for these boys and their new families! 🐾🐶❤️

Are you looking for a new best friend? We have lots of other wonderful pups looking for their forever families. You can check out who we have available and start the take-home process on our website!

Hi. I’m Sabrina. I’m 8 years old, and yes, I’m still here. It’s been months since I was surrendered with my two daughters. They got adopted so fast—like, blink-and-you-missed-it fast. But me? I’m still waiting.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not bitter. Okay, maybe just a little. But I know my person is out there. I may be a “senior,” but I’ve got more energy than most pups half my age. I’m spunky, playful, and—dare I say—irresistible.

Here’s the deal: I need a cat-free home (seriously, cats and I have issues), and I’d prefer calm, cool, and collected canine friends. Bossy or high-strung dogs? Yeah, no thanks. Slow intros work best for me.

So, if you’re looking for a loyal, spirited, slightly dramatic lady, I’m your girl. Pick me. Choose me. Love me.

Hi, I’m Bruno! I’m a 5-year-old Redbone Coonhound, and I’m basically a big ol’ bundle of joy (with a side of chaos).

I came to FDHS as an owner surrender, and I’ve had a bit of a rough patch. Surgery on my eye? Yup. Heartworm treatment? You bet. Don't worry—I’m still smiling, wagging my tail, and singing my hound dog blues like nobody’s business. (Seriously, I’ve got the voice of an angel… if angels were a little off-key.)

I’m a very strong boy and still working on my manners (I mean, jumping up is just part of my charm, right?), but I promise I’m sweet as can be. I get along with all animals, and I’m basically the happiest guy you’ll meet. I like keeping a clean space, so if you let me out regularly, I’ll make sure my kennel stays nice and tidy. I do great in a fenced yard or on a tie-out—just let me sniff around and soak up all the sun!

When I’m not snoozing, you can bet I’m belting out the song of my people. I’m available for immediate foster or adoption!

They call me Glenn, the charming, smooth-talking tabby who's got all the right moves. I’m friendly, easygoing, and love soaking up attention from my favorite humans. Other cats? I’m cool with them. Dogs? No biggie—I’m as relaxed as they come.

If you're looking for a suave, affectionate companion to add a little extra charm to your life, look no further. Apply today to meet me—I promise I’ll steal your heart. 😎
