***And just like that, she's in a foster to adopt home! Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly, and she's found her forever family!!***

While Nina enjoyed her stay with her temporary foster people, they needed to get back to work since the roads were clear. She's back up here enjoying the deep snow in our play yard! Nina goes next week to get her spay and chip, and then she will be available for adoption! She's a really sweet girl, and she's eager to learn! If your kids need a snow buddy, then she's up for the job! If you want a snuggle buddy after coming in from the snow, then she's up for the job. If you want a pup who thinks you are the greatest thing ever, then she is most definitely up for the job. We can't find anything negative to say about this sweet girl. We are working on her leash manners since we think she was more of a backyard playing type of pup, rather than go on long walks, but she's wanting to learn and getting a bit better with it each day! She doesn't realize her size, so she does think she's a lap dog, this isn't always a bad thing though! If you'd like more information on Nina, please message us here! We'd love for her to find either a long term foster or a foster to adopt. Perhaps maybe just a full out adopter! Let us know if you're interested!

***Nina heading to foster now!!
Gracie in Foster and Possum heading to foster!
We truly appreciate this amazing response to these pups and kitty. One less critter keeps the volunteers from having to come up here quite as often or stay quite as long. We love all the animals we have, but we love our volunteer's safety too! Thank you again, and if we get any requests to help Marigold and Biscuit with her crew, we'll get it worked out!***

Good afternoon all followers! We are reaching out with a quick request! We acquired a new pup yesterday, and with the Storm and frigid weather coming, I'd love to help our volunteers out and have the pups in a home, so that we can make sure everyone is safe, and the dogs, and cats if you're so inclined, have the care they need during this nastiness that has descended upon us.
I'd like to introduce Nina to everyone! Nina is a 2 yr old German shepherd mix, which we were told she's lab/Golden retriever, but as you'll see in the pics, we're pretty sure isn't the case.
Nina comes to us of no fault of her own. Her previous owner was PCS'd to Germany and orders were extended, and the friend who had been keeping her, came down with orders for S. Korea themselves, also unable to take her with them.
Nina is a 2 yr old girl, not fixed yet, but is up to date on shots. She's a very sweet, slightly timid girl, who could use a bit of leash manners, but seems to get along with most dogs very well! She's very playful and affectionate, and will make an amazing family dog! Her paperwork said that she good with kids and cats. We can't be sure of the cats part since we only met her yesterday and were given limited information, but I could see her being afraid of a sharp taloned fur monster. She's an all around joy to be around for the time we've had with her, and we've had a few double walks with her with personal pets and she did great! If you think you'd like to try taking her home, even if it's just for the duration of the storm, that would be amazing. We'd definitely have to say no to a home with an unaltered male for the sake of avoiding puppies.
Gracie is still hanging out with us. Still looking for that perfect fit. She's great with my personal pup, great with few other's volunteer's pups, but awkward with Nina so far. We're going to work on slowly acclimating them to see if it's just a new dog thing. Still no cats whatsoever, or small animals, we just can't risk your pets being hurt because of her prey drive. She's learning to be an amazing walker on a leash, and still loves chasing a ball, or just holding a ball in her mouth indefinitely as she walks around the yard or giving love to people.

Regarding kitties, We have Marigold, Possum, Biscuit with her babies. The older two would be ok, Marigold isn't spayed yet, so no unaltered male cats, and she's picky about her friends. Possum is just pure tortie with her tortitude. Biscuit and Babies would be a more complicated foster, to which we'd have to discuss in entirety.
Let me know if you're interested.

It's almost 2025, and these babies are still up here looking for their forever homes! Consider coming in to meet one, and watch them steal your heart! You all know Gracie, shown here are also Griffin, the all black kitty, Briar Rose, the tortie with the stripe down her face, Squirrel ( or Squirrel Girl) the light brown tabbie/tortie, Possum( or Awesome Possum) the smaller Tortie, and Phoebe, the fluffier tortie.
Yes, lots of Torties to choose from, but they're super sweet. In the coming weeks, we'll have a few others to choose from, but they're not quite ready for adoption yet.

Imagine ringing in the New year with a new furry friend beside you! Message us today or check out their profiles on FLSF.Petfinder.com

*** Courtesy posting for someone looking to find a great home for this sweet boy. Dog selective, so would be best in a single dog home. Message us, for contact info with the owner! ***

Friendly two year-old neutered male pitbull. Smokey is a very sweet pup who loves his family, but they have another dog that lived in the home before they got him, and it's not working out. He'd likely be best suited if he is the only dog, as he can be slightly dog selective. He's wonderful with dogs that are friendly and submissive, and won't bother them, however, if the other dog tries to start an altercation then he no longer backs down like he used to.
Currently, he is in the house with another dog, though they are kept separate just for the safety of the kids in the house in case of an altercation. He is good with kids, older children would likely be a better fit since he's so playful! He is like your shadow and wants to be with you all the time. He is kennel trained. If the latch isn't on correctly, then he likes to try and sneak out of it. Do you like long walks or runs, Smokey might just be for you! He loves his walks and runs with his owner! He'd need a tall fence or likely an invisible fencing set up, as he can jump smaller fences if something outside of it triggers his attention, and he feels the need to go for it. If there's someone outside with him though, he won't even try. Storms frighten him, so he'd likely become a heavy lapdog if a bad one came along. If you think you'd be interested in meeting Smokey, please let us know, and we'll get you in touch with the owner! They'd really like to find him the perfect fit!

Who wore it best?

Two-year-old Belgian Malinios mix Gracie vies for best-dressed Christmas elf with 2-year-old tuxedo cat Rebel Kitty in the third of the “Who Wore It Best” duels this season.

Both Gracie and Rebel Kitty have already been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and are ready for their new homes. Rebel Kitty has an adoption pending, but Gracie still needs to find her forever family.

Six weeks. Gracie has been at the shelter for 6 weeks without a single inquiry to meet her, even if it's just to foster. She's watched other dogs come in after her, and be taken home within a week or so, and she's alone again. She has an amazing group of volunteers that come in and give her all the love, playtime and attending she could ask for, but at the end of the day, Gracie is still in her kennel, still without a home or a family of her own. We definitely understand that she's going to need just the right fit, but not having a single inquiry just baffles us. Considering stopping by to meet her, or if you're out walking near the shelter, she may also be on a walk. She'll be the most loyal dog you'll ever meet, she just need to find her people.

On the 6th Day of December the shelter gave to me.
Bashful in a home and under his first Christmas Tree.

Bashful had been at the shelter since 2020 when he came in as a scared 4 month old kitten. At the time it was the peak of Covid so there were few volunteers around and few other pets to help socialize him. He was adopted for a little bit, and unfortunately, it wasn't the right fit. It took a few years for him to start warming up to volunteers, and it wasn't until we had to get all of the kitties into foster that he went to a long term home. Now he is a foster fail, enjoying his very first Christmas in a home.

Adopt Don't shop
Bashy Boo is not up for adoption!
Love our spicy boy!
