Hi, I’m Kobe — a pretty chill and sweet guy looking to start the next phase of my adventure. I’m a bit reserved, but once you earn my trust, I’m friendly and affectionate. I love my walks and enjoy playing with tennis balls and squeaky toys. I know lots of commands and I’m eager to learn more. I’m looking for a calm, single-dog home with an owner who understands me and can continue working on my training will help me thrive. I’m ready to relax and be your loyal companion!

Hi, I’m Dallas. If you’re looking for a loving, chatty, all-around great cat, I might just be your guy! I’m affectionate, social, and have a natural charm that makes everyone feel welcome. Volunteers say I’m a cutie pie who will curl up in your lap, make biscuits, and happily soak up all the pets you want to give. Sometimes I’m playful and silly with wand toys, and other times I’m ready for a snuggle or a good snooze by your side.

Read more about me on the website at https://foha.org/pet/dallas2025/ If you'd like to meet me, please submit an application, or stop by the shelter on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday between noon and 5pm.

Hope to see you soon!

Meet Sycamore, the FOHA Dog of the Week! She’s an 8-month-old, 35lb female mixed breed who’s just the sweetest girl. She loves to go for walks, play with other pups, and get affection from her people. She’s eager to learn and is very treat motivated so will likely pick up new things quickly. She’s looking for a new home with an adopter who understands that she still needs to work on some of her puppy behaviors like jumping and mouthiness but promises to learn quickly. Won’t you come meet this adorable pup? To learn more about Sycamore, check out her bio:

Meet Bette Boo, the FOHA Cat of the Week! She’s an 11-year-old, 10lb female domestic medium hair who is in search of a new forever home. She recently lost her home after her human dad (and best friend) passed away, and this girl can’t wait to find a new human family to love. She’s a very chatty cat who will keep you company with her meows, purrs, and chirps. She loves to lounge on cozy beds and watch the world go by out the window. She would do best in a calm home as your one-and-only cat. And since she’s over 8 years old, her adoption fee has been waived! Set up an appointment to meet this wonderful cat!

Hello there! I’m Steffie, a gorgeous Husky mix with stunning bi-colored eyes and a heart full of love. Though I’m a senior, I prefer “experienced” — I still have plenty of energy for adventures like hiking and playing fetch. I’m housebroken, affectionate, and love car rides. I do best as the only dog or with a calm, friendly, female dog only. I’m a bit shy at first and cautious around strangers, especially men, but once I warm up, I’m a loyal, sweet companion who loves cuddles and kisses.

Read all about me on my page - https://foha.org/pet/steffie2023/ I am eligible for the Foster Forward Incentive and the Senior Care Plan. I'm most comfortable meeting new people with one of my FOHA friends by my side. Please submit an application and FOHA will schedule a meeting with you. Thanks for considering me!

This is Poppy, a sweet 7-month-old, 3lb female domestic shorthair! She’s new to FOHA and we’re still getting to know her – we’ll post more about her once we know more about her personality. But we do know that she needs to have a social cat companion, as all kittens under 6 months old at FOHA are required to go home with another kitten or to a home with another social cat. To learn more about Monica, check out her bio:

💙 Thank you for an incredible Giving Tuesday! Because of your generosity, we raised $78,800 for FOHA’s dogs and cats, surpassing our $55,000 goal and making this Giving Tuesday truly extraordinary. Your generosity comes at a crucial time as shelters face rising surrenders, increasing costs, and more animals arriving in need of help. Your support means warm beds, full bowls, lifesaving care, and brighter tomorrows for every pet who enters our doors. 🧡

If you didn’t get a chance to give, there’s still time. Your gift, no matter how big or small, will make an immediate difference for animals who need us this winter. https://foha.app.neoncrm.com/forms/tailsofhopegtsocialmedia
