Resi discovered the puppy pools and immediately chose chaos. Between splashing, hose-chomping, and general water goblin activities, this goofy guy was living his best life. ☀️🐾

Looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy this summer? Resi is single and searching!

Dani has been waiting 331 days for a home, and somehow she is still here…still waiting.

She was one of our Hocus Pocus kittens last summer and ended up being the last of her little crew still looking for a forever family. While her siblings moved on, Dani stayed behind at the shelter, watching life keep going from her cozy spot in the cat room.

She is a soft, sweet girl who tends to blend into the background here, but she has always been kind and affectionate, especially with other cats. She used to take on the role of kitten room babysitter, curling up with the younger ones and keeping them company. She still does well with feline friends and would likely enjoy a home with other cats.

Dani can be a little shy in the shelter environment, but we believe her personality will shine once she is in a calm home where she feels safe and settled.

She has so much love to give. Dani is ready for a window to watch the world, a comfy couch to
call her own, and a person to finally belong to.

Howdy, I’m Mr. Bruce! 👋🐶

I’m a giant Great Dane/St. Bernard mix who believes personal space is more of a suggestion… mostly because I forget how big I am. I try to be dignified, but I regularly trip over my own long legs and act surprised every time it happens. 😬

I’ve got a sweet, goofy personality and a big soft heart. I’ve lived with kids and other animals before, walk nicely on leash (unless I spot something mildly interesting, then I briefly forget the assignment), and keep my kennel pretty tidy.

New men can make me a little unsure at first, but once I warm up, I turn into a full-on marshmallow with legs.

If you’re looking for a lovable giant who is 10% elegance and 90% “oops,” I might be your guy. 😂🐾❤️

This handsome floof is Sye!

Sye is a gorgeous long-haired kitty who has now been with us for a few months, and during that time he’s shown everyone exactly why we adore him so much. This easygoing boy is truly the king of cool, calm, and collected.

Sye is friendly with his caretakers, gets along well with the other shelter cats, and doesn’t even seem bothered by his doggie neighbors. He has such a calm, laid-back personality and seems happy just having a cozy place to lounge and people nearby to love on him.

It’s become very clear that Sye is going to make a purrfect addition to just about any type of home.

The bi-eyed heartthrob of FDHS has officially entered his main character era!

Koda, formerly known as Craig, recently found his way back into our care after things didn’t work out in his previous home. While we’re sad for him, we’re secretly thrilled to have this handsome hunk back in the building because… just LOOK at him.

From his gorgeous coat to his perfect little trot, Koda has a way of making everyone stop and stare. Staff swear he practically floats on leash. He’s so well-mannered and easygoing that you almost forget he’s there… until he spins around to politely request a hug and maybe sneak a kiss or two.

And when he’s not showing off his gentlemanly charm? You can hear him down the hallway performing dramatic Husky serenades. Truly, the range.

Koda has been incredibly sweet and easy for our staff to handle, but he does struggle with some separation anxiety. Because of this, he’d do best in a home where he won’t be left alone for long periods of time, or with a family willing to use doggy daycare for extra support. When he gets anxious, he can become destructive if left alone too long.

Looks, personality, charm, and a little bit of theatrical flair? Koda is the full package. If you’re ready to adopt an absolute icon, he’s waiting for you at FDHS.

Meet mama Krystal!

This beautiful charcoal grey girl came to FDHS as a very pregnant stray, looking for a safe place to land. Not long after arriving, she welcomed a litter of chunky, healthy kittens and has been doing an amazing job caring for them ever since. Whether it’s her first litter or not, Krystal has taken to motherhood like a pro. She’s attentive, loving, and completely devoted to her babies.

Outside of mom duties, Krystal is an absolute sweetheart. She’s social, affectionate, and always ready for some extra affection from her caregivers. Give her a good chin rub and a little forehead kiss, and she’s in heaven. She’s still a younger cat, so every now and then she’ll get a burst of playful energy, but she’s just as content curling up for some cuddles.

It will still be a little while before Krystal is ready to leave the shelter and her babies, but we’d love to have her forever home lined up and waiting for her when the time comes. She’s more than ready for a future where she can be the one getting all the love and attention.

Krystal is now accepting adoption applications to find her happily ever after at fortdefiancehumanesociety.org/adopt/cats/

TGIF? Gloria thought you said “Thank Goodness It’s Fetchday.” ☀️🐾

This beautiful 2 year old Retriever mix is fully embracing the Friday vibes by soaking up sunshine, enjoying the fresh air, and reminding everyone to slow down and enjoy the little things.

Gloria is a sweet, more reserved girl who’s looking for a quiet home where she can relax and decompress at her own pace. She’s well-mannered and the perfect companion for weekend adventures and lazy afternoons in the sun.

Basically, if your ideal Friday night sounds more like comfy blankets and calm company than chaos and crowds… Gloria might just be your perfect match. 🌼🥰

Hi, I’m Nicole! 💕🐶

I’m a lowkey kinda girl looking for a female-powered home where I can cuddle up, be your sidekick, and soak up all the love you’re willing to give. I’ve got great manners, a huge heart, and professional-level snuggling skills. 🐾🤩

The FDHS humans keep telling me I’m the total package… now I just need someone to finally take me home. ✨🏡
