Hi, I’m Dodger!

My adventure began in mid-April, when people started spotting me—a medium-sized black dog—darting through traffic at one of the busiest intersections in Neosho, Missouri (59/60). I was out there on my own, dodging cars and scavenging for food. It was a rough life, but I found ways to entertain myself and keep going!

After months of living on the streets, I was finally rescued and brought to FFAA. They wanted to make sure I was a good boy, so they set up a meet-and-greet with one of their resident dogs. Spoiler alert: I passed with flying colors! Turns out, I’m the SWEETEST boy—at least, that’s what everyone keeps telling me!

From that moment on, I made it my mission to win over the hearts of the FFAA staff, and guess what? Mission accomplished! They love me, and I love them right back.

Here’s a little more about me: I weigh 50 pounds, so I’m not too big—not too small either—just right! They think I’m about a year old, and I’ve been told that I have the most adorable ears ever. Just look at this face! I’m definitely a charmer. Not only am I playful, but I’m also incredibly smart and eager to learn. If you adopt me, I promise to be the most loyal companion and love you forever!

Oh, and did I mention I’m a bit of a celebrity? I even have my own page! You can find me at [The Artful Dodger of Neosho](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560495525970).

So, what do you say? Will you be the one to give me my forever home? ❤️🐾

Meet Wolfie!

Wolfie is estimated to be around one year old and currently weighs 85 pounds. While he still has that goofy, playful puppy energy, he's quickly maturing into a calm, laid-back companion. We suspect he's not done growing yet, but even with his playful nature, he tires easily, making him the ideal low-energy friend.

This handsome boy is incredibly smart and eager to learn—especially when treats are involved! Highly food-motivated, Wolfie gives his all during training sessions, mastering obedience basics with enthusiasm. One of his favorite activities is playing fetch—he loves the thrill of pouncing on the ball and proudly bringing it back.

Wolfie is dog-friendly and would thrive in a home with children over 12. He keeps a fairly clean kennel and, according to his previous owners, is about 95% house-trained.

As Wolfie continues to grow, his appearance and characteristics suggest he may be a Newfoundland mix, with good looks that are impossible to miss! But his charm doesn’t stop there—Wolfie is quite the communicator, boasting a unique vocal range that's distinctly his own.

With Clear the Shelters happening now, there's no better time to adopt this sweet boy! Wolfie is truly a rare gem with the potential to become a once-in-a-lifetime companion. ❤️🐾

Sweet & gentle Tigress was the perfect fit for her adopter today. She got to go straight from her foster family’s home to her new dad’s!

Thanks to her being in foster care, we were able to learn so much about her and because of that, confidently make the best match possible!

Thank you so much to Betty Wickstrom and family for making the long term commitment to Tigress & her puppies & husband.

An awesome adoption update from Daryl Dixon!!

“We adopted Daryl Dixon back in April! Since then he’s been everywhere with us, even all the way to Montana! He rides amazing in the car, is 100% potty trained, and is the best dog! He’s had issues with separation anxiety but over all is an amazing dog and listens so well! He loves to swim in the creek, chew on deer antlers, and take naps on the couch! Him and Mac Mac love each other a lot and play very well! He can jump like no other!”

08/23/2024

Edit: owners found!
Dog found at Lime Kiln Creek; he is microchipped. He is not staying at the shelter, but if you recognize him, please contact FFAA as we will get in contact with who is currently caring for him.

Here’s an adoption update from Enzo’s people:

“Just a quick note to tell you everyone who’s met Enzo loves him. He is a sweetheart and gets along well with Margie, the dog my step-father already had. Enzo is very cat tolerant, and one of the cats sleeps in between Enzo and Margie when they lay on their side by side beds. Enzo learns quickly and loves going to a park or to visit someone.

“We are very happy he has become part of our family!

“Thanks for all that you do.”

Thank YOU for adopting one of our precious babies and sending us updates 🥰🐾🐾

08/22/2024

Edit: Adopted!

Say hi to Charley! He’s 4 years old, 18 lbs, and a Yorkie mix.

An owner surrender due to his mom’s failing health, this sensitive sweetheart is ready to go home. Affectionate and full of personality quirks, Charley is sweet and friendly with other dogs and humans - we were told that he dislikes cats, however.

He is said to travel well & is active and loves running & playing. We were told that his dislikes include hearing the word “no” and his owners having phone conversations in the same room as him.

Charley can be prone to separation anxiety and is in need of lots of love.

He is a noted “door dasher” and adept at slipping his collars; we’d prefer a securely fenced yard for him or for his adopter to be mobile enough to ensure he’s safely harnessed and leashed with escape-proof gear.

Charley also does have symptoms of a luxating patella as well as a medical history of an old leg injury. As of right now, it does not affect him much (when his knee pops out, it slips back in on its own). He remains active and playful and walks and runs around without issue. Keeping his weight under control, joint supplements like dasuquin, restricted exercise, and vet-prescribed pain management if needed are all easy ways to slow progression and manage symptoms.

Meeka is a stunning 2-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix with striking blue eyes, who came to us after her previous owner, sadly, could no longer care for her due to an advanced battle with cancer. Despite this challenging chapter, Meeka’s resilient spirit shines through in her boundless energy and affectionate nature.

This playful girl is housebroken, crate trained, and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. Meeka is happiest when she's active—whether it's fetching balls, chasing after her canine and human friends, or splashing around in water. She absolutely loves playing in our kiddie pools!

In addition to her playful side, Meeka is incredibly smart and eager to learn. She's a quick study, making her the perfect partner for training and adventures. Her first owner mentioned that she travels well, so whether it's a road trip or a walk around the block, Meeka is ready to be your loyal companion!

Meeka has been with FFAA for 117 days and is looking for a forever home where she can continue to thrive, play, and share her affectionate, energetic spirit. Are you ready to welcome this amazing girl into your life? ❤️🐾

Cayenne ♡

Cayenne came to FFAA from a hoarding situation with six other cats. They had only ever been handled by their owner. Initially terrified, Cayenne, a striking black cat with a salt-and-pepper coat, has transformed over his past six months here at FFAA. He went from hiding in his kennel to confidently exploring the cat room, where he now enjoys pets and cuddles. He’s even taken on a fatherly role, often seen grooming and caring for the smallest kittens!

Cayenne has come a long way and is now ready to find his forever home, where his personality will shine even brighter!

Matty ♡

Matty is a gentle and playful young kitten who enjoys every moment with his feline friends! When he's not chasing toys or exploring, you can find him napping in a cozy bed on the counter of the cat room. Matty has also formed a special bond with Cayenne, an adult cat who looks just like him and has taken on the role of a protective and loving adoptive dad, often grooming and cuddling Matty with care!

These two sweethearts are ready to bring their love and warmth to a new home. Could it be with you? ❤️🐾
