We are unable to hold dogs due to our small size. Dogs coming into us are coming from local shelters that are euthanizing for space so holding a dog for an extended period does not allow another dog to be saved.
Animals may not be adopted as a "gift" for someone unless all family members are aware of the adoption and meet the animal before the adoption takes place
Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours.
If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.If renting, approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises.If you have a current dog, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together. You will bring your dog to our facility for the meet. We cannot travel to you.If you adopt from Fetch A Friend Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Fetch A Friend Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt that dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations.

ABOUT ME!: Adorable brindle boy Gus is the sweetest boy who just wants to please his people and play with all of the dogs he can! Poor Gus has been waiting 3 years now for his forever family. He arrived to us when he was just 6 months old and has been waiting ever since. His hold up? He is very much afraid of all men. He has yet to find one that has wanted to be patient and let him approach him. It seems everyone wants an instant connection but Gus does not have that with men. He will approach women and kids with zero hesitation and LOVES them! He would thrive in a female household if one exists out there!
He is great with cats and can live with one no problem! He also does great with small dogs! He would love another dog in the home, especially a female one that he can run and play with!
Gus has been loving his sleepover outings with volunteers and sleeps soundly all night in the bed with his person! He is perfectly content in his crate with his durable toys and does great when left alone.
Gus is housebroken, incredibly loveable, his wiggle butt never stops wiggling! He is a sweet, sensitive soul who will cower when a voice is raised. He is 100% a lover, not a fighter. He is really hoping to find a single women or women that would love him to join their home! Gus just wants stability, routine, belly rubs, kisses, and doggy friends to be happy!
Gus is neutered, heart worm negative, current on all vaccinations, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

ABOUT ME: Handsome Draco came to us from Rochester animal control after his owner lost their home. Draco is a super fun pup who is eager to learn new things and is highly food motivated to do so! He LOVES playing fetch, going on long hikes and adventures, snuggling in bed with his people and did we mention he loves food! Draco had a female owner and is leery of men when first meeting them. He is never aggressive just shys away and prefers to hang by a woman. He does warm up to them, especially for food! He will need a patient man in the home that will let him come to them on his own terms when he is comfortable. Draco is housebroken, well-mannered in the home, knows his basic commands, and is ready to be someone's loyal companion!
Draco is neutered, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, dewormed, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

ABOUT ME: Handsome Bentley is an incredibly sweet, smart and active boy looking for the best home! This sweet boy came to us as a young pup who was quickly adopted. His new dad took him everywhere! However after getting a new job that came to an end and Bentley found himself alone and in a crate for many hours a day which he did not like. He was returned to us completely emaciated skin and bones and his owner assumed it was due to stress. Given how much Bentley was still eating and how calm he was our vet began diving into many tests to figure out what was going on. After clearing every blood test they gave xrays a try and discovered he had a large bowel obstruction. This puzzled everyone as Bentley was still eating and going to the bathroom normally. He went right into surgery where they found a lot of trash in his intestines. Healing was hard given how thin and frail his body was but Bentley pulled through and is now thriving! This big boy deserves the best family and would be happiest with lots of land to run and play on again! He LOVES swimming in ponds, riding in the car (he is a great co pilot in a work truck!), playing fetch, going for long walks and hikes, loves kids, has great recall, knows his basic commands, will sit and wait for his meals, and loves learning new things. This boy loves to eat so keep that in mind when keeping things secure and out of his reach! Bentley is a very sweet young man who loves sleeping with you at the foot of your bed! He has lived with other dogs previously but did not like sharing his food/bones with them. He prefers young female dogs to play with but had lived with males. He absolutely loves puppies!
Bentley is neutered, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, dewormed, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

ABOUT ME: RJ came to us locally from a breeder that had too many dogs and needed to surrender some. He was born in their home and did not receive much as far as socializing or training. He is your typical chocolate lab that is full of energy and needs to continue his training for manners. He will bark at you when he is frustrated, jumps quite a bit and may not be suited for seniors or young kids due to how much he jumps. He is working weekly with our trainer and has learned some basic commands! He is extremely food motivated and willing to learn and full of potential! He will definitely be a project and needs structure and consistency to be his best self. RJ is totally housebroken, never chews up his beds or toys, LOVES to play fetch, and is very snuggly and affectionate once his energy is burned off! He would benefit from a very active owner who will keep him busy and well enriched and exercised. He is a bit too much dogs for cats and will terrify them. He lived with many dogs but does not know how to appropriately play with them or meet them. He will instantly jump on them and smack them incessantly until they run from him. Any other dogs in the home would likely need to be young and tolerate his play style. He will do just fine as an only dog as well!
RJ is neutered, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, dewormed, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

ABOUT ME!: Handsome William came to us as an owner surrender. He was been abused by his first owner as a puppy and a kind woman took him in even though she was homeless and living in a motel. She was trying to make it work until she received a devastating diagnosis and became too weak to care for a young large dog. She did a wonderful job raising him and he is an amazingly sweet dog who loves anyone and everyone he meets! William is incredibly dog friendly and absolutely loves going to doggy daycare and making new friends. He would thrive in a home that has a very playful playmate for him! William is crate trained, knows his basic commands and listens well! He is a strong boy on a leash and is currently working on his pulling. He is an extremely energetic dog who will need a lot of exercise which is why having other dogs in the home for him is needed. He just lives for playing with other dogs all day. He has an adorable heart shaped spot on his side as well! He is not a barker, and is eager to find himself a family with kids and or other dogs!
William is neutered, current on all vaccinations, heart worm negative, dewormed, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

ABOUT ME!: Juicy is a tiny little girl looking for a home with breed experience. This pint sized girl is a dominant little lady who would do best as the only dog in the home due to some barrier issues, however she does very well playing with other dogs of all sizes outside the home, at the park etc! Juicy was given up by her owners who could no longer afford to care for her. Right after arrival she began vomiting after every meal. She had a hiatal hernia that required surgery to repair and she has been fine ever since! She does require all of her meals to be fed out of puzzle bowls to slow down her voracious appetite and allow her to digest things better. She has lived with cats without issue, and absolutely adores people! As a brachiocephalic breed her new family needs to keep things in mind such as overheating on warm days and keeping walks short. She has an extremely narrow trachea and therefore snores like a trucker and makes a lot of bulldog noises overall! Juicy is housebroken, loves short walks, toys, and enrichment puzzles!
Juicy is spayed, current on all vaccinations, heart worm negative, dewormed, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.
