Meet Reed, a 7-year-old, 68lb male Hound mix! He’s a lovable, good-natured boy who loves to be with people. He really enjoys being with other dogs and has done great in doggie playgroup sessions, chasing and being chased all over the yard. He’s a handsome houndy guy and can’t wait to find his own forever home. Could that be with you? Come to FOHA and meet him! To learn more about Reed, check out his bio:

** MORE ANIMALS FOR YOU TO VIEW **
If you haven't visited our website recently, you may have missed our newest available animals. FOHA welcomes Cayenne, Danny, Eliza, and Riggs. (more info in captions).
You can see all of our adoptable animals on our website. If you see one that might be a good fit for your family, submit an application (no obligation) or stop by the shelter between noon and 5pm on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. If you'd like to meet an animal in foster, please submit an application so we can arrange a meeting.
FOHA is a 501c3 rescue and all dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and on preventatives. Most of our animals are pulled from rural shelters to help them free up space, so every animal adopted or fostered opens a spot to save one more!

Hi, I'm Lynk! Could I be the missing Lynk in your life? I love going for walks and cuddling. I also love staying busy with a good chew toy! I'm looking for a quiet home with a yard to accommodate my energetic self, or an active family. But once I get some zoomies in, I’d love to snuggle up on the couch! I have a lot of love to give, and would love to be the only one receiving the love you have to give! Submit an application so we can meet and learn more about each other!
For more information, visit my page at https://buff.ly/3ZKeKbD . I am available to foster or adopt.

Hi, I'm Nolan, an 8 year old Foxhound/ American mix! I'm an active dog who enjoys long walks, big yards, and non-stop tug of war. If you invest the time to get know me, I'll never leave your side and will always be there for you! I'm a happy boy, but I am easily startled and will need a quiet home.

For more details on Nolan or to fill out an application, please visit his page https://buff.ly/46FckN2, or if you know someone who would be interested, please spread the word. He is available to foster or adopt.
If you'd like to help Nolan, but aren't ready to adopt, please share this post!

Congratulations to the great group of dogs and cats who were adopted between November 2 and November 6: Cloud, Fiddle, Lizzy, Pistachio, Ramona, Ranger, and Taylor Swift. Best wishes to all for a happy life with your new families! Thank you so much to our awesome staff and volunteers who work so hard every week to get our animals into forever homes.
Adopters - we'd love to see an update in the comments
If you know of anyone looking to adopt a dog or cat, please tell them about FOHA!

Nigel here! I have been at FOHA for a few short months and have already become a volunteer favorite! A fun fact about me is that a DNA test said I am a mix of German shepherd, Labrador retriever, beagle, chow chow, Catahoula, and more! I usually greet my friends by bouncing around in my run in anticipation of the excitement that’s about to come. I am also described as an ideal walking buddy as I walk at your pace and rarely pull on leash (unless I see a cat!)
For more information, visit my page - https://buff.ly/3RZ0oQ4 . I am available to adopt or foster. Since I have reached my golden years, I am eligible for the Senior Care Plan (adoption fee waived and up to $1500 in medical expenses reimbursed to the adopter).

Workplace Giving Season Is Upon Us -- How You Can Help

The Combined Federal Campaign runs thru January 15, 2025. An easy and painless way to give to FOHA is through payroll deductions. Even a few dollars adds up to help a homeless animal get food, medical attention, shelter, and ultimately find a forever home. . We hope that all of our FOHA family donate generously thru the CFC, CVC, and other workplace giving programs. Don't forget to remind your family, friends, and coworkers to help, too. FOHA's CFC number is 83554, our CVC number is 200305, and our United Way number is 9822.

As always, THANK YOU for your support!

Lennox is a 5 yr old male Husky Mix available for adoption. After spending some time in foster, here are some thoughts from his foster mom:
- I want to stress again what a great dog he is. He's so easy to have in the house, and he's learned all sorts of manners like having to sit before he goes for a walk
- He adapted to living with us right away and is just a sweet boy. It feels like he’s always smiling, just happy to be alive.
- We don’t understand why he hasn’t been adopted yet since he’s a great dog.

Meet Nanni and Ohana, a wonderful, bonded pair. Nanni is a 3-year-old, 72lb female Shepherd mix, and Ohana is a 3-year-old, 59lb male Husky mix. They came to FOHA together with their young pups, who are now grown and Nanni and Ohana are ready to find their forever home together. They are both quite cautious and shy with people, but with time and patience they promise to be great family dogs. They love being with other dogs and have really opened up participating in doggie playgroups. They are very dependent on each other, so they need to be adopted together. Come to FOHA and meet them! Their adoption fees will be covered by Kim Baggett Real Estate. To learn more about Nanni and Ohana, check out their bios:
