Hi, I'm Dusty!

1.5 years old | Great Dane / Great Pyrenees Mix | 82 # (need to gain some weight!)

I'm part Great Dane, part Great Pyrenees, which means double the greatness! If you’ve ever wanted a giant best friend who thinks he’s a lap dog… I might be your guy.

I'm a young, friendly boy looking for a fresh start. I'm tall, lovable, clumsy at times, and fully committed to leaning my entre body weight against you for affection. (If you know Danes... you know!)

So far, I seem to have inherited a lot of the classic Great Dane personality:

🐾 Friendly 🐾 Outgoing 🐾 Affectionate 🐾 Silly and lovable

But I also have some of the fluffy longer fur and may have some guardian instincts from my Great Pyrenees side too!

I’ve done well with other dogs so far, seem curious but non aggressive with cats, and I'm expected to do well with respectful children who understand my giant size! Even when I’m being gentle, I’m still BIG, so I need a family that can handle a large breed dog.

I seem to be potty trained already, though like any dog adjusting to a new home, he may need a little refresher while learning your routine and schedule.

I’m also a little on the skinny side right now and could use some extra TLC while I continue settling in. ❤️

Because of my breed mix, continued socialization is going to be important for me as I grow and mature. Taking me places, exposing me to new people, animals, environments, sounds, and experiences in positive ways will help me stay the happy, confident, social boy I am now. Guardian breeds can become protective or wary without proper guidance, so I’m looking for a family committed to continuing my training and socialization!

I may be a gentle giant, but I’m still young, still learning, and still need structure, boundaries, and guidance to become the best version of myself!

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

Dusty did test positive for Lyme disease. He has started his 28 day treatment of doxycycline and received a Lyme Vaccine. He should be kept on flea/tick prevention year round & recieve a Lyme vaccine annually.

Marshall County Residents!!

Please take advantage of your local vet clinics offering these days! Here is an option to get your CATS spayed and neutered!!

Please see the post and contact the Plymouth Veterinary Clinic directly!!

🐱💙 Feline Frenzy! 💙🐱

While our May Feline Frenzy event is officially full, we’re excited to announce that we’ve added another low-cost spay and neuter day on Wednesday, June 17th! 🐾✨

This is a great opportunity to help keep your feline friends healthy while also helping reduce pet overpopulation. Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly, so be sure to call the clinic to reserve your spot soon! 📞

🙏 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 DON’T KitNap!! We are begging you to assess the situation BEFORE you touch them or you intervene!!

🐾 Please Read Below Throughly!!

Far too many kittens die every year, when a Good Samaritan takes presumed orphaned kittens away from their moms.

PLEASE don’t Kit-Nap!!

Humans simply cannot replicate a mother cat’s care. Mom is their BEST chance of survival. If you find kittens, please follow this flow chart to determine the next steps and ensure that they SURVIVE!

🔸We have a very limited amount of kitten fosters who can bottle feed kittens and they are all currently FULL! PLEASE leave kittens be with their moms until at least 5/6 weeks of age or eating on their own. At this age you can then get the momma spayed and kittens can be possibly be placed in to a foster home through us. Or we will help supply you with the necessary items to care for them until we are able to intake them. The shelter is NO place for tiny unvaccinated kittens. If you are a Fulton County resident, please reach out to us to get on our waitlist to intake. We ask that you call to make arrangements, we cannot accept walk-in kitten surrenders/strays. We have to have a plan in place for somewhere for them to go, if they are not ready to be spayed/neutered. 🔸

If you are a Fulton County resident and need guidance on kitten care and help spaying that momma cat, please reach out to us! Several options are available!

Here are our numbers for April!!

First and foremost, we are SO thankful for all of YOU - our followers, donators, volunteers, adoption partners, rescue partners, veterinary professionals, adopters, fosters - ANY of you that have contributed in any way to help us be successful in our mission here!! Saving the lives of so many dogs & cats in our community takes a village! We are SO grateful for the village that stands behind us!! ♥️

How can you continue to help?!

🐾 Make it a priority to SPAY & NEUTER your pets!!! We cannot reiterate this enough. Yes, even the stray cat who showed up months ago that you are feeding. If you need low cost options, let us know! We are happy to point you in the right direction, depending on where you live!

🐾 ADOPT or if you can’t, then please continue sharing our posts. We always need adoptions!! The past three years, we have remained at or above capacity every single month. 💔 A trend that isn’t just hitting here locally, it is a heartbreaking crisis across the country.

🐶 Dog adoptions are slowly picking up, but we are seeing a trend of dogs sitting in kennels longer than usual. The average length of stay for a dog in our care (from intake, to vetting, to placement) is at 23 days.
🐱 Cat and kitten adoptions are going very well! The average length of stay for a cat in our care (from intake, to vetting, to placement) is 15 days.

🐾 VOLUNTEER! One of our biggest needs are experienced dog walkers. Our dogs would greatly benefit from being walked twice a day (weather permitting)!! Message or call us if you want to sign up!

🐾 FOSTER! One of our biggest needs, is having temporary foster homes for kittens under 2lbs. Kitten “season” is year round! Contact us for more info!

🐾 Make a COMMITMENT to your pet that you will do your best to keep that animal for its lifetime. But also please know that we are here for our county residents and your pet in extreme hardship.♥️🐾

🐾 DONATE! Expenses are at an all time high. Vet bills, daily supplies, medications, vaccinations and food, etc. Donation tabs are listed at the end of this post, if you want to help us out in that way! Want to donate to help us with daily needs?!

You can donate to us by shopping locally & dropping items off to us in person, any time staff is here!!

• A current needs list is posted in comments, of items we are currently low on!

🐾 Or by purchasing items from our Walmart, Amazon & Chewy wishlists! These purchases get shipped directly to us! We care for approximately 75+ animals every single day of the month here, in our care at FCAC!! ♥️🐾

Meet Boone! 🐾
Labrador Retriever mix | Just under 2 years old | 72 lbs

If you’re looking for a friendly, handsome dog ready to jump right into family life… Boone may be your guy. ❤️

Boone is a young boy with a sweet personality and a fresh start ahead of him. He previously lived with another dog, doesn’t seem to mind cats, and we expect him to do well with respectful children too!

Boone still has playful energy but he’s overall a very friendly, happy boy who just wants to be loved and included.

And let’s be honest… he’s ridiculously handsome too. 🥹

A securely fenced yard is strongly preferred for Boone!

Boone is adventurous and the world is VERY exciting to him. He was known to wander off and escape the yard often in his previous home, so his future family will need to take his safety seriously!

He will also need continued work on boundaries, recall training, and should not be left unattended in open areas while adjusting to his new home. Like many young Labs, he’s curious, energetic, and sometimes thinks adventures sound like a great idea. 😉

The good news? Boone is friendly, eager to please, and at the perfect age to continue learning!

Now all he needs is a family committed to giving him the structure, safety, and love he deserves. ❤️🐾

We’re preeeetty sure Bonnie escaped from a Disney movie… 🐾✨

Meet Bonnie! 🤎
9 months old | Mixed Breed | currently 31 lbs

Bonnie looks like she should be frolicking through an enchanted forest while tiny birds help her get dressed for the day. She has the scruffy little face and goofy expressions of a full blown animated sidekick character! 🦸🏻‍♀️

This sweet girl was found as a stray and sadly was never reclaimed. Now she’s searching for a forever home and she seems fully prepared to become the main character of somebody’s life.

Bonnie is playful, affectionate, curious, and loves being around people. She’s the kind of dog that makes you laugh just by looking at her!

🐾 Very people friendly
🐾 Dog friendly
🐾 Good with respectful kids
🐾 Curious about cats, but based on personality we suspect she may do well
🐾 Will need some continued potty training and puppy guidance

At only 9 months old, Bonnie is still learning and growing, which means she’ll need continued guidance, patience, and structure as she grows. But she also has all the ingredients to become an amazing family dog.

Meet Clyde! 🐾
9 months old | Mixed Breed | currently 38 lbs

Seriously… Clyde looks like he should be helping a princess escape through the forest while providing emotional support and comic relief along the way. 🤪

This scruffy little guy was found as a stray and sadly was never reclaimed. Now he’s looking for a real forever home and we have a feeling he’s going to make somebody VERY happy!

Clyde is friendly, playful, and overflowing with personality.

🐾 Very people friendly
🐾 Dog friendly
🐾 Good with respectful kids
🐾 Curious about cats, but based on personality we suspect he may do well
🐾 Will need some continued potty training and puppy guidance

He’s still young, still learning, and still figuring out the world… but one thing is already obvious:
Clyde was made to be somebody’s best friend.

Somebody apply to get their little woodland creature!🌲❤️

Meet Casper! 👻❤️
2 years old | Mixed Breed | 58 lbs

Casper was found as a stray but sadly, after several attempts to contact his owner, no one followed through to bring him home. 😔 Now, this sweet boy is ready for a fresh start!

He's the kind of dog who acts like everyone he meets is already his best friend. 🐾

This happy go lucky guy is bubbly, social, full of personality, and absolutely LOVES people. Whether you’re looking for a walking buddy, couch buddy, adventure buddy, or just a constant source of tail wags and smiles… Casper is ready to apply for the position. 😉

🐾 Dog friendly
Casper has not officially been introduced to other dogs yet, but he appears dog friendly & we believe he could do well with proper introductions!

🐾 Cats?
He has not been tested with cats yet, but we’ll update once we learn more.

🐾 Kids?
Based on his outgoing, friendly personality, we expect Casper to do well with respectful kiddos.

And can we talk about his looks for a second?! 👀
Casper is such a unique looking boy with a face & eyes that are impossible to forget!

Now all he needs is a family willing to give him the fresh start he deserves. ❤️

Hi, I'm Apollo!

Husky Mix | 1 Year Old | 40 lb (need to gain a few pounds!)

I’m an active boy looking for a fresh start after my previous owner could no longer care for me.

I didn’t get a whole lot of socialization growing up, so sometimes the world feels a little big and overwhelming to me. But once I warm up? I’m a very sweet boy who LOVES affection and cuddles. ❤️

I really want to bond with my people and make them proud. I’m very food motivated, eager to learn, and I truly just want someone willing to be patient with me while I build confidence.

A few things about me 👇

🐾 I’ve done well with kids
🐾 I’ve lived with dogs and cats before
🐾 I can be unsure around other dogs at first, but then I usually want to play
🐾 I do like to chase kitties sometimes, but I’ve never hurt one
🐾 I’m vocal sometimes… but hey, I am part husky 😅
🐾 I LOVE cuddles and attention once I trust you

I may be a little shy at first… but I promise I’m worth getting to know! I’m just looking for someone willing to help me learn that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. 🤍

Hey… I’m Blue!
4 years old | APBT | 71 lbs

Big personality, bigger smile 💙 If you’re looking for a dog with spunk… you just found him.

I’m full of life, energy, and personality and I’ve never met a stranger. If you're a human, I'm already you're best friend!

I’m playful, a little rambunctious, and strong, so I’ll need someone who can keep up with me… but I’m also a total love bug who just wants to be close to my people.

🐾 Extremely people friendly
🐾 Playful and energetic
🐾 Strong, confident personality

I previously lived with another dog, but I’d do best as your one and only so I can soak up all the love and attention.

🐶 Only pet home
🐱 No cats

I’d love a fenced-in yard where I can run and play, or an active home that will take me on daily walks to burn off some of my energy.

And one more thing… I’ve got the biggest, most handsome smile and I’m not afraid to show it 😄

If you’re looking for a goofy, handsome, full-of-life companion…
I might just be your guy. 💙🐾
