*** Update, Sasha will be going into foster this afternoon, however Remi is still patiently waiting on his foster and forever family! We're really hoping that he can find someone who sees him and just falls in love with him soon! Let us know if you'd like to meet him! ***

Hey everyone! We've got a couple of pups up here that are looking for a foster family, or perhaps a forever one! We've showcased Remi a couple of times, and now we'd like to introduce you to Sasha!
Sasha is a 7 month old St Bernard/Lab mix that is a bundle of fun and snuggles. She's had her first set of shots and will getting her next ones on Friday, then we can get her set up for a spay. We feel that Sasha would do so much better in a home to recover from her spay, but that she'd do great in a home just because as well! We don't have a lot of pictures of her yet since she just got here a bit ago, but we do have a couple!

Remi is the adorable 5 yr old Jack Russell terrier/beagle mix of bundle of fun! He got his last set of shots today and will be going for his neuter on Friday! We feel that he too would do so much better for recovery if he had a quiet home to relax in afterwards. If you think you'd like to consider fostering either, please let us know by messaging us on here.

Quick answers to questions I get regarding fostering.

First one, We cover all medical expenses during foster time to include their once a month heartworm prevention for dogs, and a 3 month dose of flea and tick preventative, if appropriate for that pet. We can provide bowls, toys, beds, blankets and anything you might need to start out with your foster friend! We typically send food home with the pet so that their diet doesn't change too drastically once they get into a home.

Did you know our Foster families get first dibs on adoption? We allow our fosters to decide once the pets are fully vetted and ready to go, whether or not they want to make them their forever pets! If not, they get to help with placement, as they tend to know the pet's personality better than we up here do!

How long does fostering last. Well this is completely up to the foster families. If you're plan is to foster to adopt. It can be as short as 24 hours. If you're just looking to foster until the pet finds a home, then however long that might take. If a foster pet just isn't working with the home and family dynamics, that's no problem, we understand that sometimes pets just aren't the right fit, and we'll take them back no problem.

If fostering seems like something you'd like to consider doing, then please reach out to us! We have these two pups, possibly another one, and a few kitties that are ready to find their foster and/or forever homes! Message us today!

This young man here. While he's not a dog, he will follow you around like one. Mr. Peabody earned his name by coming in a couple of days after our sweet little Sherman. They've never actually met aside from being above and below each other, but Sherman went on to be in the kitten room, and Peabody made his way into his own kennel. Peabody has his very own personality. No other can compare. He is a talker. If you don't acknowledge him the minute he hears you come in, he will let you know. At first it's cute little meows, then it morphs into much much louder, HEWWOOOOO!! HELLLOOOO!? OOOOH NOOOO!!! I can't make it up. Then when you do go over there, he's like Oh hi, you came to see me! If you ever wanted a dog, but couldn't have one, well Peabody might just be for you. He follows you, sits on your lap, rolls over, will play fetch and choose his own toys for you. He's an all around fun guy. He's pretty smart for an orange boy, but we think the white evens him out. He actually just gave me direction on how he'd like the curtains hung, and then thanked me by sitting on the windowsill looking out for his perfect view of the birds, bugs and squirrels to watch.
If you think you'd like to meet him, we'd invite you to message us on here, or check out his profile on Petfinder.
You really can't go wrong with him, and we're actually pretty surprised he hasn't found his people yet. Maybe he's waiting for you!

Oh My Gosh! What can we say about our fun loving boy Re*****on (formerly Slim). This boy has got it all! He's charming, fun loving, playful, energetic, and has so much love to give! He adores kids, and a good tennis ball. He will snuggle with you after a good play session, or bounce around a little more until he knows it's time to relax. We're thinking right now he'd be better in a home being the only pup, only because he hasn't been fixed yet, and he tends to behave in a way that other dogs don't quite appreciate. His neuter date is coming soon though, and we think after that, he'll be the best playmate ever for another dog. We don't know how he is with cats or other small animals. He's about 5 years old, potentially a beagle mix, mixed with what, we can't say for sure, but it'd be a good guess to say a bit of Good Boy, happy dog, and love bug! If you think you'd like to meet Re*****on ( Remi) to foster him, or become a foster to adopt family, please message us here! His Petfinder profile is still under construction, so it'll be up soon and you can watch for it at, FLSF.Petfinder.com

Do you recognize this kitty? Brought in by a good Samaritan this morning. It's very scared so I've not been able to check for a microchip yet. If you are the owner or know the owner, please message us, and we'll get you reunited as soon as we can. Proof of ownership is required, and shelter is closed for business hours, but if needed will open for reuniting.

**** Happy to announce that Bibi went to her foster to adopt this morning!!****

Yesterday we celebrated Aspen for International Dog day! Today doesn't have a great selection of pet related national or international, so I decided, let's go Alphabetical order day for the pets up here! That would be "B" for today, and thankfully in our crew, we have a "B"! BIbi is a sweet little kitty that was living the street life before she came here. She's been fully vetted and socialized to where we feel she's ready to find her forever home! She can be a bit spicy when the mood strikes her, but then 5 minutes later, she's back to being your best friend. She adores pets and scratches, but what she loves most is a tiny little stuffed mouse toy that we have up here. She loves it so much, we're sending the two we have with her to wherever her next home may be! She is the absolute best jumping cat in the world, or so we think anyway. She can top out at 5 ft trying to catch the wand toy attachment. We definitely think she caught a bird or two during her street life days. She loves to sit on the windowsill or a cat tree to watch the critters outside, so if you have a bird or squirrel feeder, she'd be in kitty heaven! If you'd like to meet Bibi, or learn more about her, you can message us here, or check out her petfinder profile! Bibi is just waiting to meet her perfect person!
