Name: 20Austin Sex: Male Age: 5 years 1 month Status: Available Breed: Chihuahua/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

Meet Austin
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Age: 5 years old
Sex: Neutered male
Size: approx. 15 lbs

Other Dogs: Yes
Kids: Unknown
Cats/Small Animals: Unknown
House trained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Austin is the sweetest dog! He loves to cuddle and just melts into you. He is fully potty trained and will go to the back door to let you know that he needs to go outside, he is also very comfortable with the doggy door. He is partially crate trained. He will not voluntarily go in his crate but does ok in it once he is in the crate. He will sleep in the crate for about 6 hours before he wants out. He is perfectly happy sleeping in bed with his human instead. Austin is able to jump a 3 ft fence, so a taller, secure fence is required.

He takes time to warm up to new people and starts off very timid. He does not want to be petted or touched by men but does not mind being in the same room as men. If a man tries to approach him, Austin runs as fast as he can in the other direction. He hasn't shown much interest in other dogs. He is very comfortable being around my dogs (a lab and a chihuahua) and is slowly starting to show interest in playing with them.

Once Austin warms up to you, he won't ever leave your side. He'll be happy to be on your lap or at your feet all day!
He’s an easy keeper for sure.

Name: 20Boomer Sex: Male Age: 1 year 2 months Status: Available Breed: Labrador Retriever/Staffordshire Bull Terrier

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

Meet Boomer
Breed: Lab/Bully mix
Age: 1 year old
Sex: Neutered male
Size: approx. 40 lbs

Other Dogs: Yes
Kids: Unknown
Cats/Small Animals: No
House trained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Boomer is an extremely athletic, driven dog who would excel in a home with clear boundaries and training. He loves to run alongside the bike, go for extended walks/hikes/runs, and play for hours. Simply put, this young boy needs loads of mental and physical stimulation.

Boomer enjoys cuddling and will spend hours just sleeping on his bed while you work or watch TV. While he needs frequent reminders, he actually has great obedience and manners - although extra control or management should be expected of him around strangers or stimulation.

Boomer is neutral to mini donkeys, horses, chickens, ducks, and guineas. He expresses interest in the cats but has displayed decent self control. Boomer loves all dogs he comes across and is the first to initiate play or make new friends. While he can be with domestic small animals, we do not recommend he is rehomed with novice owners where he may come across those types of pets.

This boy is crate trained, leash trained, and potty trained. He is nondestructive indoors and outdoors, has not shown any digging tendencies or obsessive barking issues. He thrives in a household with clear expectations, solid control, and a well balanced mentor dog. Despite all his amazing attributes, this is not the kind of dog who will adapt well to lenient ownership - Boomer has a tendency to make bad choices when in drive so appropriate management is a must.

Boomer will come with several lessons to ensure a smooth transition into his new home. This cutie deserves a place to lay his head, are you ready to be his hero?

Age: 2 years old
Sex: Spayed Female
Size: approx. 55 lbs

Other Dogs: Yes
Kids: Unknown
Cats/Small Animals: Yes
House trained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Meet Hammerhead! She is a two year old bully mix who’s as sweet as they come. She loves to fetch tennis balls, it’s her favorite thing. She is full of life and personality. She is very engaged to humans. She wants to train and be active. She enjoys doing obedience for food, praise and toy. She has great potential to do fun dog sports or be a wonderful companion. She does well with other dogs. She is neutral with them but will instill her boundaries when needed. Her athleticism allows her to not only to potentially do sport work but climb over 6ft or higher fences with ease.

She’s medium energy, a few walks a day and a game of fetch would be her idea of a great day. She walks pretty well on leash but will bark at dogs she meets but does not know. She’s fine after she meets them. She ignores our outdoor cat. She’s comfortable in the car, usually lays down and sleeps. She has great manners in the house, she’s potty trained and uses the dog door, she sleeps quietly on her bed in the bedroom all night. She will crate up but doesn’t like it if you leave while she’s in it. Potential homes would be an active home or someone/family that is engaged in training and working with her.

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

***MUST go to a home with no cats.

Meet Striker
Breed: Bully mix
Age: 4yrs 3months
Sex: Neutered Male
Size: approx. 50 lbs

Other Dogs: Yes, would prefer a home with another dog
Kids: Unknown
Cats/Small Animals: NO
Housetrained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $250.00

This beautiful boy is Striker, he’s a bully mix about 4 years old. He was surrendered to FDR after his original owner passed away. Although he’s been through some confusing times, he has an infectious lust for life. He is high energy, loves to play and run and is always up for doing whatever it is you want to do. He likes running along side the gator and gets pretty excited about it! He shows his enthusiasm by barking, he can get pretty loud at times but is easily quieted. He likes to play in water, loves the hose. He’s house trained and uses the dog door. He will counter surf, so no leaving things within reach. He needs someone who is familiar with bully breeds, he can have that bully stubborn streak and needs a confident leader and continued obedience training. Striker would make an excellent companion for an active family, he would be a great walking or running partner. Striker watches tv and gets pretty excited when he sees a dog, it’s pretty cute. Striker's perfect home would be a quiet country setting with room to run around. He should be homed with a compatible dog to play and roughhouse with. His favorite things are chasing tennis balls and playing tug of war. He also likes going on squirrel patrol, because of his interest in squirrels, we don’t think he should be around cats or chickens, they would just be too tempting! Striker is a character, he makes us laugh so much. He’s a go-getter during the day but turns into a mushy bucket of love in the evening. He’s a good boy and deserving of his happily ever after.

Tweet a.k.a. Missy is a sweet 5 year old female Terrier mix that has made an amazing transformation. She loves snuggling her humans, giving lots of kisses, playing with toys and warming your lap! She is a low to medium energy pup that does get playful at times and likes to do a few zoomies or go for a short walk, then is mellow and back to her favorite spot in the house! She will fit into a loving home with a secure fenced yard. Possibly with children 8 years or older to chase around and play, or someone home often. Tweet doesn’t need another dog, she wants to be the alpha at our house. She prefers her human but will initiate play with our resident pups. She is quiet, only barks to alert. Is protective of her family. She is working on her leash manners, she loves to go for a walk a couple times a day. Prefers to potty outside so she can scratch the ground after she is done with her business! She is fun, spunky and such a sweetheart. You would never guess this girl was rescued from a situation of neglect and sadness! She was suffering from a bad flea allergy and only had fur around her neck and head. Basically anywhere she couldn’t chew. Her coat is growing back slowly as her skin heals, she does need correction to stop chewing. She will need a home with compassion, and patience as she is a work in progress. So if you have the time, commitment and love to give this sweet girl fill out an application.

Name: 20X-Mama/Maya Sex: Female Age: 2 years 2 months Status: Available Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

**Maya would love to have another dog in the home**

Meet Maya
Breed: German Shepherd mix
Age: 3 years old
Sex: Spayed female
Size: approx. 68 lbs

Other Dogs: Yes
Kids: Unknown
Cats/Small Animals: No
House trained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $250.00


This pretty girl is Momma X! Her foster family calls her Maya. She’s a German shepherd (mix?) about 3 years old and weighs just under 70 pounds. Maya came to Foothill from a local shelter with her 9 tiny babies that were just a few days old. She was very skinny and her skin and fur were in bad shape. Growing and feeding 9 pups takes a lot of nutrients out of you! She was such a great mom and raised her babies very well. They are now all in their forever homes, and now it’s Maya’s turn to finally become a beloved family member. She is now at a healthy weight, and soon her skin and fur will be thick and luxurious.

In general, Maya has great house manners and is low maintenance. She doesn’t jump up and hasn’t been destructive. She’s also potty trained and has not had one accident in her foster home. If she does start to do something naughty, a quiet verbal correction is all it takes to deter her. Maya has been on several outings with her foster mom to an outdoor patio for lunch, and to a couple of dog friendly stores. Each time she’s done very well and has been calm and attentive to her foster mom. She loves going for car rides and does very well riding in the car.

Maya loves other dogs and she’d love a playful dog in her new home. Her foster family has 2 dogs around her size and she loves both of them. She does well with both males and females. Her favorite play is chase! She also likes to wrestle. Her foster home does not have cats, but when we introduced her to a friend’s cat, she really wanted to chase. No cats for this girl.

She is a little shy and it took her a few days to warm up in her foster home, so her new family needs to know she needs some time to show her true self. She now loves the people in her foster home. We have not had her around kids.

Does she sound perfect? She almost is! Her only drawback is she loves her people a little too much. She definitely doesn't enjoy being crated. Although she can be crated in a plastic airline style crate, she isn't happy and lets you know. She’s been able to escape a wire crate. She can also open doors and can jump a 6 foot wood fence to try and get to her people. Her current foster home has a wrought iron fence and she’s done great with that. She sleeps just outside her foster mom’s bedroom on a dog bed and is quiet and happy through the night with no potty accidents.
Maya is a pleasure to be around and we think her separation issues will likely fade with time as she feels safe and comfortable in her forever home. She needs a home where someone is home most of the time or can take her with them, but she also needs to keep practicing being alone. Her current foster family leaves her in a plastic crate for a few hours while they're gone with lots of yummy stuff and entertainment to help her learn to enjoy it. We can advise new adopters on how to continue to help her with this.

Name: 20Y'All Sex: Female Age: 6 years 1 month Status: Available Breed: Dachshund/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

***MUST have experience with the Dachshund breed.

Meet Y'all
Breed: Dachshund
Age: 6 years old
Sex: Spayed female
Size: approx. 15 lbs

Other Dogs: Yes
Kids: Unknown
Cats/Small Animals: Unknown
House trained: No
Crate Trained: Yes
No Stairs unless carried
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Y'all is a mellow, cuddle bug who is not yet house trained. Her foster has been working with her but her adopter would need to continue her training. She has bonded with one foster in the family so much that she continually seeks out that person. She will howl when her foster mom leaves so crating when leaving is the best solution to help her keep calm.
She rides well in a car but cannot walk down stairs due to her long back. She can manage upstairs but has to be carried downstairs.

A Dog’s Purpose... I believe I have discovered what Y’All’s purpose is for this lifetime. She would be a perfect Emotion Support dog. Always calm and relaxed. She loves being held like a baby and kisses on her head. She’s not good on a leash. She has no problem dragging the leash, but when I pick it up, she drops like a stone. I walked her around a parking lot, dragging the leash, she stayed very close to me, encountered a couple of dogs, she did a little sniff and walked away. Met a few people. She let them pet and talk to her. She remained calm and relaxed. She would be perfect for anyone who visits nursing homes and hospitals for patients who need a little support from a loving dog.
