Here are listed FCRR foster dogs who are either available for adoption or will be soon. Usually, each dog has been fostered in a volunteer's home, so we will have at least a general impression regarding its health, temperament, behavior and training. With very rare exceptions, each dog has been spayed or neutered, is up-to-date with respect to vaccinations, and has an identification microchip implanted.

We ask that parties interested in adoption fill out an online application to aid us in making the best possible match between dog and family. We also ask to conduct an in-person check of your home so that we can verify that it's retriever-ready.

For each dog adopted, we require the fees shown on the "Adoption Process" page to help defray our expenses and help us save more dogs.



Bobby
(Status- Available)

This cute 5-year-old guy was turned in to the shelter with his brother for unknown reasons. He's gone through some wrenching changes, having first been abandoned and then separated from his brother.

That's an awful lot for a dog to overcome, so we haven't pushed things, allowing him to settle in and adjust to his foster home slowly.

Update:

Bobby has come out of his shell and is a happy boy now. We discovered that he was in a great deal of pain due to a pinched spinal nerve. We've had that corrected surgically, and now that the pain is gone, he's much more comfortable.

We've introduced him to our foster pack and he gets along with them quite well.


If you're interested in this sweet boy (and who wouldn't be?) send us an email at info@fetchingcompanions.org.



Armani
(Status- Adoption in progress)

Armani is a big beautiful boy, 4 years of age. He was given up to us by his owner, who no longer had time for him. We think he's probably a mix, but a very Labby one.

He's a very sweet boy and learns quickly--despite having been an outside dog all his life, we had him housetrained in a couple of days. He also knows basic commands and has exquisite leash manners. He'll heel perfectly for miles with very little prompting.

He's probably never missed a meal in his life, so he was a bit obese when we got him, tipping the scales at 103 pounds. We've slimmed him down to 90 and while he looks good, he should still lose another 8 or 10 pounds.

He gets along well with female dogs and is now okay with males, but he probably should be the only male dog in his family.

While we had him at the vet, he nosed a cat and got a hiss and a paw swipe in thanks. He backed right off, so we think he may do well with felines that don't run from him..

We haven't tested him with kids. We think he'd be fine with them, but his size would probably make him overwhelming for young children.

Armani is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, fit as a fiddle, and ready to go. If you're interested in this big sweetie, submit an online application and drop us a line at info@fetchingcompanions.org.
