STERLING
Hi, I'm Sterling! I'm a very sweet 6-year-old boy. A few of my favorite things are playing tag, zooming around the yard, and showing off my tricks (sit, down, stay). I like lazy days on the couch and being petted and taken for walks. I'm a pretty easy-going guy! Oh, and I'm housetrained. Impressed yet? If so, I hope you'll stop by my kennel at FAAS and see if we click. I'm looking for a loving forever person or couple who can keep up with me. Here's hoping to see you soon!
Arthur
Arthur is 4 years old and his adoption fee is waived. He’s a medium size chocolate brown dog who is good on leash and loves to have his back scratched. He loves people but would like to be your only dog. Arthur is not available for adoption right now but he will be ready for his forever home soon!
Zeus
Hi, I'm Zeus, and I'm part American pit bull and part Dalmatian. I'm 7 years old. I'm mostly white but have black spots all over, especially on my soft, floppy ears. I love people and greet everyone I meet with wags and kisses. I'm a little skittish when I go for walks; the outdoors is overwhelming to me, especially when I see other dogs -- I must have led a very sheltered life before I came to FAAS! But FAAS is teaching me how to walk calmly on a leash and I come with six weeks of free canine training. You know what else is free? My adoption! A nice FAAS supporter has already paid my fee. I feel lucky to have so many people helping me. All that's left is finding a home that will love and continue to help me continue to blossom into a confident companion. I'm not ready to be taken to my forever home, but I really hope we can meet soon..!
