Meet Tori! 🐾
2 years old | Mixed Breed | 31 lb

If happiness had a mascot... it might just be Tori.

Despite a rough start in life, Tori greets every day and every person she meets with a constantly wagging tail and a smile that could brighten anyone’s day.

She originally came to the shelter after being removed from a neglectful situation where she spent much of her life outdoors. She was later adopted, but through no fault of her own, changes in her owner's circumstances brought her back to the shelter.

Tori hasn’t let any of that dim her spirit.

This sweet, affectionate girl absolutely loves people and adores children. She wants to be involved in EVERYTHING you’re doing and is always ready to hand out kisses, seek attention, or make a new friend. ❤️

Her enthusiasm can sometimes get the best of her, and she may jump up when she’s excited to see people, but with regular exercise, consistency, and positive reinforcement, she’ll be very well behaved in no time!

Tori is an active young dog who would love a family that enjoys walks, playtime, adventures, or simply giving her an outlet for all that happy energy. At just 31 pounds, she’s the perfect medium size. Big enough for adventures, small enough to fit comfortably into most homes!!!

⭐️ Tori will need to be the one and only pet in the home. ⭐️

Tori is mostly potty trained and may need a little patience while learning the routine in a new home, but she’s eager to please and wants nothing more than to make her family proud.

Most of all, Tori is looking for something she’s always deserved: a forever family that will love her for the rest of her life.

❤️ WAIVED ADOPTION FEE for approved adopter!
❤️ 1 year of FREE Heartworm prevention included

Spayed, Heartworm and Lyme negative, and up to date on vaccinations and

Hi, I'm Snoopy! 💙
About 1.5 years old | Mixed Breed | 54 lbs

I'm a friendly, happy go lucky guy who may have had a bit of a bumpy start, but the good news? I'm still basically a blank slate. ❤️

When my original owner was arrested, a family member stepped in and took me home. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed where they were living, and I was also a little more dog than an elderly couple could comfortably manage. So now I'm here at the shelter, waiting for someone to give me my second chance!

The best thing about adopting a dog my age?! I'm still SO young! Which means I have all kinds of potential to become the kind of dog YOU help teach me to be! ❤️

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

🐾 Just under two years old and still very much a puppy
🐾 Appears to be dog friendly
🐾 Expected to do well with respectful kiddos🐾 Doesn't seem to mind cats
🐾 Keep a pretty clean kennel for the most part 🐾 Young, playful, and ready to learn

I seem to have a pretty good start when it comes to keeping my kennel clean, but I may need a little potty training refresher while I learn your schedule and routine.

Because of all the changes I've experienced in my young life, staff also suspects I may have a little bit of separation anxiety.

That doesn't mean I'm destined to panic every time you leave the house!It just means my new family should be prepared to help me learn that being alone is safe and temporary. 😊

Things that will likely help me succeed:
🦴 Crate training and creating positive associations with my crate
🧠 Plenty of mental enrichment and things to keep my brain busy
🎾 Daily exercise and playtime to burn off that young dog energy
⏰ A consistent routine so I know what to expect
🐕 Possibly another confident, friendly dog in the home to show me the ropes and help me feel less alone

Most importantly, I'll need someone willing to give me a little time to settle in and teach me what life in a stable home is supposed to look like!

‼️ I'm young, I'm impressionable, handsome, and I have a LOT of life ahead of me.

If you're ready for a young dog who may need some guidance but has all the potential in the world to become an incredible companion, I might just be your guy. ❤️

Neutered, microchipped, Heartworm & Lyme Negative, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention. Adoption fee is $100.

If you are interested in meeting and adopting, please submit an application here:

https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog

Once submitted, staff will review your application during open hours. Please allow 24-36 hours for a response. If approved, we will contact you to schedule a meet & greet! Any other dogs in the home must come along and some dogs may require all family members to come as well! If it's a match, you can your new dog home the same day.

We do offer a 2 week foster to adopt trial time, to be sure the chosen pet is a good fit, before finalizing the adoption!

Hi, I'm Clyde!
Approx 1 year old | Mixed Breed | currently 45 lbs

If you’re looking for a fun, friendly, bubbly and boisterous best friend, I might just be your guy!

I originally came to the shelter as a stray, and unfortunately, nobody ever came looking for me. But I’m not letting that get me down! I’m a happy-go-lucky boy with a BIG personality and so much love to give! ❤️

I’m still young, which means I’ve got plenty of learning and growing to do, but I have all the potential to become an INCREDIBLE family dog with the right guidance!

🏡 A little more about me:

🐾 Other Dogs: I’m dog friendly and LOVE to play! I recently spent some time in a foster-to-adopt home where I did really well, but unfortunately, the other dog wasn’t quite as thrilled about having a new roommate.

I can be a little rough and bossy with younger or smaller dogs, so I’d likely benefit from having an older, calm, well-mannered canine companion who can show me the ropes! I actually respond really well when other dogs correct me and help me understand my manners.

🐱 Cats: I’ve done well with kitties!

👧 Children: I absolutely ADORE kids! With my friendly, outgoing personality, I have the potential to make a wonderful family dog. Just remember, I’m still a bouncy youngster who doesn’t always realize how much energy he’s bringing to the party!

❤️ Personality: Friendly, bubbly, playful, affectionate, and FULL of life! I love people, I love having fun, and I approach just about everything with enthusiasm!

🏠 House Manners: I’m making great progress with house training, but I’ll still need a little guidance and consistency while settling into my new home. I’m a young guy who’s eager to learn!

⚡ Activity Level: HIGH! And I mean HIGH! 😂 I’m not looking for a home where I’ll spend most of my days lounging around. I need an active family committed to providing plenty of physical exercise, mental enrichment, playtime, and continued training.

I have SO much potential, and with structure, patience, and the right outlets for all this enthusiasm, I really could become one heck of a family dog. 🥹❤️I’m just a young dog who needs someone willing to help me channel my energy in the right direction!

Whether it’s going on adventures, learning new tricks, playing games, or simply being included in everyday family life, I’m ready to find my people and start making memories!

So, what do you say? Got room in your home, your heart, and your schedule for a handsome little whirlwind like me? 😎🐾

Hi, I’m Pluto! 🤍

6 years old | Siberian Husky mix | 54 lbs
Curious about my breed mix?
My DNA results are in my online photos!

I’m a gentle, well mannered boy who’s friendly with just about everyone I meet! 🥰

My shelter friends say I’ve handled shelter life extremely well, and they’d LOVE to see me back in a home with a family of my own.. ❤️

I came to the shelter when my previous family could no longer give me the home and care I needed.
I’m potty trained, crate trained and affectionate with my people. I’ve got a playful, talkative Husky side, too! I love being outside, and I’m always up for playing with a rope toy, a squeaky toy or a ball.

🐶 I’ve lived with other dogs, but prefer the ladies! 😏 If you have a female dog, let’s see how we get along at a meet and greet!
Male dogs usually aren’t a good fit for me, and I may guard food, treats or toys around them.

🐱 I have a strong prey drive and need a home without cats, small animals or livestock.

👶🏼 I’ve lived with kids before and am kid friendly!

🏡 I’ve jumped a five foot fence before, so I need someone who will supervise me outside and keep me secure. Husky experience would be a big plus!

If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy buddy to spend time outside with, I’d love to meet you. Fill out an application and let’s see if we’re a match! 🤍

🌻 Hi, I’m Kyra! 🌻

Approx. 2 years old | 49 lbs | American Bulldog mix

I came to the shelter as a stray, so my friends here don’t know much about my life before I arrived. When I first got here, I was a sweet, easygoing girl. My shelter friends still see that side of me. I also keep my kennel nice and clean and appear potty trained!

Shelter life has gotten harder for me over time. These days, I’m more wary of new people and may bark when I’m unsure. I’m looking for someone who can take introductions slowly and give me time to get comfortable at my own pace.

🐾 Other dogs? I’ve made friends with a male dog here before, but I’m more selective now. I’d be happy as your only pet, or I may be a match for a calm, easygoing large male dog if our meet and greet goes well.

🐱 Cats and other small animals? I need a home without them.

💛 Kids? Little kids make me nervous. If there are kids in my new home, I’d be more comfortable with older, respectful kids who can give me space.

I’d love a quiet home where I can settle in, get to know my people, and show you the sweet girl my shelter friends know.

Think we might be a good fit?
Fill out an application so we can meet! 🌻

I’m hoping someone will give me the chance to leave shelter life behind and show them who I really am. I have a feeling once I’m settled into a home, my personality is going to bloom! Could I be the missing piece your family has been looking for?

Spayed, microchipped, Heartworm & Lyme Negative, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention.

Meet Marco! 🐾

1.5-year-old | Shepherd mix | 65 #

This handsome Shepherd mix came to us as a stray, extremely thin and dirty. Even then, he was bubbly, full of personality, and always happy to make a new human friend. ❤️

With his friendly nature, eagerness to please, and love of treats, we thought someone would give Marco the chance to learn the ropes and become the incredible family dog we know he has the potential to be.. 💔

Unfortunately, that chance still hasn’t come, and he is now our SECOND LONGEST RESIDENT.

Marco recently spent time in a foster-to-adopt home, and we got a glimpse of what he’s capable of. He was picking up potty training quickly, slept at the foot of the bed every night, and even woke his people when he needed a potty break! Unfortunately, that home wasn’t the right fit, and Marco returned to the shelter.

Here’s what his future person should know:

🐶 We expect Marco to do well with another dog after proper introductions.

🐱 He reeeally wants to chase cats! So a home without them would be best.

🦮 He pulls a little when he first heads out, then settles down and walks beautifully by your side.

🎉 Marco considers himself a professional interior decorator. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

He’s a chewer who thinks anything within reach might look better shredded into confetti! He needs someone ready to supervise him, redirect him to appropriate things to chew, and work on crate training and house manners with patience and consistency.

🏃 He’s an active boy who needs plenty of exercise, things to keep his mind busy, and people who want to include him in their lives.

Our hope is still to see Marco become a beloved indoor family dog. His foster trial showed us how well he can do with that chance.

🚨 But his stress is high, his quality of life at the shelter is declining, and we believe he lived outdoors before coming to us.

Because of that, we're also open to an outdoor home that can provide secure containment, proper shelter from the weather, daily care and attention.

Marco needs someone willing to help this friendly, capable young guy become the dog he’s ready to be.

Could that be you? ❤️

Neutered | Microchipped | Heartworm negative | Up to date on vaccines & monthly preventatives.

Adoption Fee has been fully sponsored thanks to generous donor! $0 to adopt for approved applicant!

Marco did test postive for Lyme Disease. We did his treatment of Doxycycline and he has been given a Lyme Vaccine. He should recieve a Lyme Vaccine yearly and be kept current on tick/heartworm prevention year round.

Interested in meeting and possibly adopting? Please start by submitting an application here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog

Once submitted, staff will review your application during open hours. Please allow 24-36 hours for staff to review. If approved, we'll reach out to schedule a meet and greet! If you have other dogs, they'll need to come with you. Some dogs may require all members of the household to come as well. If it’s a good fit, you may take your new best friend home that same day!

We also offer a 2-week foster-to-adopt trial period to ensure it’s the right match for everyone!

Hey, I’m Reba! 🤎

1.5 year old | Rottweiler mix | 55 lbs

I’m young, sweet and playful girl who full of love & personality! I can be a little leery of strangers at first, but once you get to know me... I'm a total love bug! I give the softest little kisses, lean my whole body against you, and will gladly flop over for belly rubs. I’m actually a pretty big baby when it comes to affection. ❤️

Here’s a little more about me:

✨ Friendly, affectionate, and loyal
✨ Energetic, playful, and always ready for an adventure
✨ A confident, bossy girl who would likely do best as an only pet or with a laid-back, submissive male dog after a proper introduction
✨ No cats for me, they’re just a little too exciting!
✨ Friendly with kids, but I’d do best living with older, respectful children (10+) who can understand my boundaries when it comes to food and high value treats
✨ Smart and EXTREMELY food motivated, so snacks are definitely the way to my heart!

And about those snacks…

I can be protective of my food and high-value treats, and I prefer to enjoy them without anyone bothering me.

My future family will need to respect that boundary. Feeding me in my crate or another designated space is recommended, and special goodies like long-lasting bones and chews should be given there too. Give me my space, let me enjoy my snack in peace, and we’re golden. 🤎

I’m still young, and I’m not a finished product. I need someone willing to continue teaching me good manners, respect the things I’m communicating, and help me become the best version of myself. I may need a little more guidance when it comes to house training as well.

But there’s SO much good already here.

I’ve got personality. I’ve got loyalty. I’ve got enough energy to keep you laughing and enough love to make up for every belly rub you’ll ever give me.

I’ve watched other dogs come and go while I’ve continued waiting. Now I’m the shelter’s longest resident, and I’m just waiting for someone to look past the bossy big-sister attitude and see what we already know:

Underneath it is one incredibly loving girl with a HUGE heart who just needs someone of her own to give it to. 🤎🐾

Spayed | Heartworm & Lyme negative | Current on vaccinations & preventatives

🎉 WAIVED ADOPTION FEE! Approved applicants can take me home for $0! I also come with a FULL YEAR OF HEARTWORM PREVENTION (a $100+ value!)

Interested in meeting and possibly adopting me? Start by submitting an application here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog

Once submitted, staff will review your application during open hours. Please allow 24 to 36 hours. If approved, we’ll contact you to schedule a meet and greet. If you have other dogs, they’ll need to come too so we can make sure we’re a good match. Some dogs may also require all household members to attend.

If it’s a good fit, you can take your new best friend home that same day!

We also offer a 2-week foster-to-adopt trial so everyone can be sure it’s the perfect match. 🤎

Fresh air, fall weather, and happy shelter dogs! 🍂🐾❤️

A HUGE thank you to our wonderful dog walker, Bailey, for getting some of our adoptable pups out for a much-needed walk today! They loved every minute of the exercise, fresh air, and one-on-one attention.

Well… Clyde may have enjoyed it a little differently. 🤣 Apparently, he decided he was more than qualified to take over leash-handling duties!

Thank you, Bailey, for giving these pups such a wonderful afternoon! 🥰🐾

11/07/2026

Wanting to add some “Cattitude” to your life?!? 😻😻

Then one of these kitties might be the cat you want to try to win the affection of… on their terms! When they love, they love! But when they are done, they are done!!

Meows and chirps asking for you to touch them… then suddenly a flicker of the tail, eye darts and a soft growl along with a swat to make the affection stop just as fast as it started! You think you are pushing further?! We highly advise not to!!

These three are gorgeous cats, but you will have to let them be the ones to decide on when and how much attention you are allowed to give! If you ignore or push their cues to step back when they clearly are done, they will make it very clear on being sure you are very aware!

ChaCha, Bella and Dumplin are all owner surrenders from different homes.

All three cats were surrendered for different reasons, but all three give the same “I get over stimulated very easily” if you are too much for me notifications, loud & clear!!

These kitties are difficult for us to place, as they don’t get seen like our other adoptable kitties. We cannot put them in our adoption building for everyone to visit, as the daily change of faces and commotion is too much for them. These three are in their cages in our intake building, where staff has gotten to know them since they each came in to us. Constant stimulation from strangers going in and out is rough on them.

They will each need quiet, low activity homes, with not many visitors going in and out. No other pets. No small kids.

Each of them are big cats. They each will need high sided, extra large litter-boxes. Each one of them backs up to p*e without squatting it their boxes, and they aren’t sorry if you selected a litter-box that wasn’t tall enough!

All are spayed/neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines and preventative.

$0 ADOPTION FEES!!

Think one of them might be a match for you?! Apply online here:: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/apply-to-adopt-a-cat

After you application is reviewed & approved, a staff member will be in touch!
