MAC is a soft and silky male , a 1.5 year old 9 pounder.
He is neutered and microchipped and current on vaccines. A big plus for this little guy- he is housetrained and tested negative for heartworms!
Mac can be seen daily at The Adoption House; apply in person to adopt. By the way-if you currently own a dog- if you bring their vet records with you it will shorten the time required to process your application.

This Hollywood handsome guy is LUCKY- male/3 years old and at a good weight of 92 pounds.
Lucky is in a foster home with other dogs, and is well behaved with them. People friendly, recently neutered and microchipped, Lucky can be seen this weekend at The Adoption House.
If you are interested in adopting Lucky and you are currently a dog owner, bringing their vet records will shorten the time required to process your application.

CELESTE is a teeny tiny senior lady, 10-12 years old and right at a chubby 5 pounds! Her waffle cone sized ears and teeth like a picket fence in ill repair give her an endearing and vulnerable look. She is really just adorable! She is perfectly happy, happiest to be truthful, when one-arm toted like a little football. She likes to perch on laps, too- an all around blue ribbon snuggler.
Celeste is heartworm negative, spayed and current on vaccines. She can be seen daily at The Adoption House.
Come meet this wee gal; apply to adopt in person. If you are currently a dog owner, bringing their vet records will shorten the time required to process your application.

Who is that GORGEOUS redhead?!
CORNELIUS is a 1 year old/35 pound mixed breed male- setter? retriever? spaniel? We don't know. But we do know he is very sweet and a bit bashful.
Not yet neutered, pre-adoption (till surgery) only for this fella at this time. He can be seen daily at The Adoption House.....

ARIEL is a female mixed breed, 7-8 months old and 30ish pounds. Super sweet, eager to make friends, and was in a doggie play group at her shelter which translates to dog friendly.
She is at the perfect age to add to a family. She’s young so adaptable and not set in her ways, yet old enough to have self control and focus for training and to quickly learn what will be expected of her in her new home. Note her beautiful sea foam green eyes 👀- like aquamarine gemstones.
Spayed and current on vaccinations, Ariel can be seen daily at the Adoption House

12/02/2023

APPLE is an 8 month old/39 pound female boxer (maybe a mix) who joined the FOTA ranks yesterday. She landed in the shelter as a stray, but someone has clearly worked with her: she fetches, SITS statue still, and focuses on you, ready to please and learn.

Young and full of joy, Apple can be seen daily at The Adoption House. Apply in person to adopt. And if you currently own a dog, if you bring their vet records it won't take as long to process your application.

Please welcome our new FOTA fella, LITTLE BEAR! He is a cute and very sweet little chocolate colored pup with a rose nose and the best smile! He is 2 years old and a perfect 33 pounds.

His Foster says he is doing great with the kids, dog (they play non-stop) and cat in their home. Little Bear also enjoys sunbathing by the pool!

As Giving Tuesday approaches, we hope you will consider a donation to Friends of the Animals. Your help allows us to continue caring for dogs in need like Einstein & finding them the loving forever homes they deserve. www.paypal.me/fotabr

Einstein's story:

Einstein was found living in the backyard of a house that was no longer occupied. He was in very bad condition & obviously had not had a good life even when someone lived there.

At 7 yr. old he had severe medical issues. Einstein had a bulging left eye caused by a mass that had to be removed. He also had trauma to one of his legs that required FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery to restore pain-free mobility. Einstein's health was further compromised by a significant heart murmur, glaucoma, & testing positive for heartworms.

A former FOTA adopter agreed to foster Einstein through his extensive medical care which spanned several months, and we were able to pull Einstein into the FOTA program and give him the care he needed. It was a long road, but today he is living a healthy, happy life in his forever home with his foster who adopted him.

ARCHER is back after completing heartworm treatment. Who can resist a sweet, hound dog! Not a youngster, he is estimated to be 5-7 years old, maybe a bit thin at 63 pounds, but that may just be his build.
His ears are therapeutically soft, his soulful eyes hint of many tales all to remain untold. In his foster home he gets along well with the resident dogs and has had no potty accidents.
Unflappable, gentle and affectionate, this gorgeous hound-boy is ready to meet his forever family. He can be seen daily at The Adoption House. Drop by to welcome him back by taking him in the yard. Apply to adopt in person.
