It's National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week! Come visit and adopt a deserving pet. Meggie is a beautiful black mixed breed girl with the cutest nubby tail who wiggles with affection almost continuously. She wants to please so badly it makes us fear that life has not been kind to her. We think Meggie is about a year old, she seems to be house trained, and will be spayed this week. She would love to have a real home where people love her for the beauty she is. 🐾

We are always coming up with creative ways to promote our beautiful facility here at FOSS and raise money. When our loyal volunteer Sarah Stephens came up with this idea, we RAN with it!!! So, before you buy your Christmas cards this year, consider getting them from us. You can make a donation for as many as you want (at a minimum of $5 a card) and then you can pick them up at our adoption center OR add $2 for every 5 cards and we will mail them to you. Click this link https://foss.monkeypod.io/give/foss-christmas-cards and order your cards today.

Max says don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour to go back to Standard Time. That gives us an extra hour in the day to love all our furbabies. Max is a super sweet, energetic boy who loves to play. He's about 1-year-old and scheduled to be neutered soon. This gorgeous boy would love to meet you! Apply for him at FriendsofStokesShelter .com.

OogieBoogie says there might be ghosts and haints on Halloween, but he's not scared. He's too cute to be scared! He loves his hanging hammock, snuggling with his brother and sisters, and playing wide open in the cat room. This little fellow would make a great treat - no tricks! Apply to adopt at FriendsofStokesShelter .com

Tickled PINK to introduce this wonderful girl. Pink is playful and sweet. She has done well playing with other dogs, knows basic commands, and loves to sit in a lap. We think Pink is about 2-3 years old. If you're looking for a sweet, adorable house hippo, this girl is it. Apply at Friends of the Stokes Shelter. ❤️

Pink is just a big love bug!!

We have discovered that beautiful Annabelle loves men. She can get a bit fractious with women, but seems to melt into men's arms. What can we say? Look at that pout! She's a flirt. Annabelle is a polydactyl cat with extra toes on her front feet and a soft gorgeous fur. Guys - don't you love a cat with thumbs? Annabelle is waiting for you to apply for her at Friends of Stokes Shelter.

Beautiful, smiling Josie! You would never know this girl is 11 years old, even though the recent past has not been kind to her. Josie will need some extra meals to help her gain weight, but she is still a happy, bouncy, affectionate girl. Senior dogs are so special and appreciative of being rescued and spoiled in their golden years. Don't let Josie spend time in a shelter when she could be enjoying a warm bed and the attention she deserves. Apply at FriendsofStokesShelter . com ❤️

The gala is tonight and Copper is ready for the party. Looking spiffy with his caramel chocolate coat and blue and red ticking, he is a gorgeous hound dog. He needs to be fed some scrumptious vittles to fill out and become the stunning boy he's going to be. Those green eyes are mesmerizing. Copper is very sweet, affectionate, and playful. He'd make a great family dog. You can apply for him at Friends of the Stokes Shelter.

"Hey! Whatcha doin'?" Cauldron is our tubby puppy just hanging out with her sisters and brother and wondering where they keep going. She'd like to brew up a special tonic to make you take her home before Halloween. She is a sweet, loving puppy with beautiful markings. She'd be happy to charm you into letting her steal your heart.
