Text Box: FCAR Mission
We are a no-kill, non-profit humane organization dedicated to rescuing the sick, injured, abused, abandoned and neglected animals of Fayette County.

 

Make a Difference… Volunteer!

We had another phenomenal weekend at FCAR. A huge thanks to all of the volunteers that spent their entire weekend - Saturday AND Sunday - at the Petsmart Grand Opening. We adopted out 9 animals this weekend including many 'old timers' so we are extra excited by our results.

We are changing our monthly adoption day schedule to:

2nd Saturday of the Month - Petsmart
3rd Saturday of the Month - Petco Cordova
4th Saturday of the Month - Petsmart

After weeks of planning & preparation we are ready for our big event this Saturday at Cameron Brown Park. Be sure to tell your friends & co-workers about this exciting event and let me know if you are interested in volunteering. A separate email to all scheduled volunteers will go out tonight as well with more details.

If you are interested in volunteering please email Laurie at fayettefcar@hotmail.com.

Our Rescues

New Arrivals

Ozlo, a year old cattle dog mix, was rescued last Friday night. Other than contagious mange he is a healthy boy.

Higgins, a 4 year old beautiful bassett hound is currently being treated for heartworms.

Winter was returned... she is a black & white lab mix that was adopted a couple of months ago.

Adoptions
The following babies are currently all in new homes! What a weekend!

Warren, a 9 month old german shepherd mix, was adopted by a single man in a townhouse. I spoke with his him this morning and Warren is already going to the door when he has to potty and is getting along great.

My beautiful Celia Jo was adopted by a lovely older couple that had been praying for the right new addition to their family. When I checked on her Sunday night Celia was curled up by the new mom and everything was going wonderfully. She has a large backyard to play in with a doggy door that goes straight into the house and 2 new parents that are home all day and ready to love on her. We had Celia a year this month but I just knew that the perfect home was waiting for her!

A family fell in love with Hoodie, our round brittany spaniel mix, and he is now living with a family that spoils him.

Goofy was adopted by a recently divorced gentlemen that needed some companionship. He has a large backyard to play in although he will primarily be a house dog.

Nutmeg was adopted by a family with 3 other dogs and she started playing and having a great time before we had even left the house. That is amazing when you realize how painfully shy she was when she was first rescued by FCAR.

Mandy was adopted by a younger couple living in an apartment. After a day of being somewhat shy she is already playing with their other dog and walking on a leash.

Napoleon was adopted and his new mom was cradling him and already telling him that he was going to be sleeping in the bed.

Clifford is living with a new family who has a Pomeranian and another beagle to play with.

Roadie was driven all the way to Nashville to find his perfect home. We have already heard from his new owner and he is doing great. A huge thanks to our volunteer Jessica for making that long drive to make this perfect match!
