Adopt a Beagle / Mixed (short coat)

Imagine being with your family for 15 years. Then all of a sudden your


family is gone and you are surrounded by new people in a strange place.


Those people tell you that everything is going to be ok but you wonder why


they are crying. You lick their tears. They are curious about the padlock


around your neck. But they work to cut it off and remove it. And you are


not sure. How will they know your favorite things or things you do not


like? How will they know your favorite food? And do they know what


happened to your family?




This is Buttermilk's story. She came to us from a facility in Roanoke and


she was so sad and confused a couple of weeks ago. The only time she perked


up was when she said a group of children, and boy did that put a wiggle in


her waggle. She loved visiting with them.




Fast forward to today, she is in a foster home and starting to feel a little


better. Her foster mom reports, " She's a laid back girl and no messes in


house! She is great with other dogs. Follows me everywhere. Eyeballs the


cats... barks at them but no physical interaction so far. I scold her and is


doing better with that. Buttermilk is a great dog and she sleeps on big bed


with other dogs."

All of our animals have a lifetime commitment. If for any reason, the adoption does not work out, the cats and dogs are to come back to FCHS, which is a NO kill facility. The adoption fees help cover a portion of the care provided to the animals.

Please visit our website under adoptable pets for a range of adoptions fees. All pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested (dogs) and placed on preventative, microchipped, and more.
