"Hi, my name is Artimiss! Can I lay down in your lap please? You might notice something super obvious about me: I’m missing a family! Oh, and I'm missing a leg, but that doesn’t bother me at all!"

"I came to FCAR with what the vet believed to be a gunshot wound to my front leg, but I am not letting that get the best of me. I have some trouble with stairs, but with rugs and carpet I am fine. I love hanging out and giving cuddles on the couch. I love sleeping in my crate at night, and from what my foster family can see, I don’t make a peep when I’m resting on my own after a fun play session."

"I just want to be your companion and make you smile as much as I do when I’m getting petted! I'm a bit picky about my dog friends, so an introduction would be a must. Oh, and I’m a little too obsessed with cats and small animals, so a home without those would be best. I hope to meet and love you soon!!"

• Fenced yard. We will ask for a video that shows the entire fence so that we can verify that there are no holes or gaps where the dog could escape. (We do not accept invisible fences.)
• Veterinary reference for previous and current pet owners (must be/have been current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention) We will call your current/previous veterinarian to verify that you have a history of providing vaccinations and heartworm prevention for your animal(s).
• If no previous veterinary history, purchase of a 3-month supply of heartworm prevention from our vet.
• If renting, verification with the Landlord on acceptability of pets and any restrictions.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
