Meet Roman 🐾

Roman is a handsome year-and-a-half-old male with a heart as big as his smile! This sweet and lovable boy is the total package—gentle, affectionate, and always ready to brighten your day.

Roman enjoys spending time with people and has a calm, friendly personality that makes him a wonderful companion. Whether it’s going for a walk, relaxing by your side, or soaking up some sunshine, Roman is happiest just being near his humans.

He would do great in a home where he can get plenty of love, attention, and a cozy spot to call his own. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will shower you with affection, Roman is your guy!

We had such a wonderful time yesterday at Green Heron Ale House's Community Connection Day! We are so grateful to have been invited and to be part of such a great event!

Our pups had an absolute blast meeting new people, soaking up all the attention, and representing FOSS in the community. It was also wonderful to have the opportunity to talk with members of our community about what we do, share our mission, and introduce some of our amazing adoptable dogs.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, learn more about FOSS, and spend time with our dogs. And a special thank you to Green Heron Ale House for hosting such a fantastic event and making us feel so welcome. We truly enjoyed being a part of it and hope to join you again in the future! 🐶❤️

🐾 Thank You, Jordan Doyle, and Sydney Doyle, In Memory of Debbie Crawley 🐾

Yesterday, we received an incredibly generous donation of pet food, treats, and more from Jordan and Sydney Doyle, who shared that he believed his mother, Debbie Crawley, would have wanted these items to help the animals at Friends of Stokes Shelter.

Many in our community knew Debbie for her love of animals and her dedication to helping them. Her compassion touched countless lives, both human and animal.

We are so grateful to Jordan and Sydney for thinking of FOSS and honoring his mother's legacy in such a meaningful way. As you can see from the photos, the amount of food, treats, and supplies is truly amazing and will help us care for the many animals who depend on us each day, as well as members of our community who may need a helping hand.

Thank you, Jordan and Sydney, for your kindness and generosity, and thank you, Debbie, for the impact you made on animals throughout Stokes County. Your love for them continues to make a difference.❤️🐾

Meet Rocco! 🐾

Rocco is a handsome 2-year-old male with a striking black-and-white coat and the sweetest green eyes you’ve ever seen. This charming guy has a calm, gentle personality and loves to stretch out in a cozy spot where he can relax and watch the world go by.

Rocco enjoys playtime too—especially with fun little toys (he’s a fan of anything he can bat around!). He has a laid-back nature, making him a great companion for a home looking for a loving but easygoing feline friend.

He would do wonderfully in a home where he can get plenty of affection, comfy blankets, and maybe a sunny window to lounge in. Rocco is the perfect mix of playful and chill—ready to bring warmth and companionship to his forever family.

If you’re looking for a sweet, handsome boy to add to your home, Rocco might just be your perfect match! 💙
