FCIA rescued Boris, a rottweiler mix, from the shelter after his previous owner surrendered him due to his medical needs. He is 5 years old and weighs 82 pounds. He was suffering from chronic fungal and bacterial skin infections that had left him nearly bald, underweight, and with severe ear infections. Despite this, he remained very sweet and loving. After almost a year in our care that included intense and frequent medical tests and treatment, he is finally medically stabilized. He is happy, healthy and his coat is full and lush. Boris will require lifelong medication and routine vet checks. He is now on thyroid meds 2 times a day, iron supplements daily, an autoimmune shot every 10 days, and a special diet that controls his allergies. He remains sweet and loving and very playful with most other dogs . He does tend to guard his yard and person so needs an adopter with Rottweiler experience and one who is prepared to continue his health routine.

Boris is so ready and deserving of his forever home. If you are that person, please contact us at FCIAadoptions@aol.com for more information.

We suggest a home with children over the age of 10 for this dog. This dog cannot be adopted out of state. Please see our home page for a list of our Saturday adoption sites. Every potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application and the dog is placed in the home that would be most suitable for the dog. We do not place our dogs in homes with unfenced swimming pools. Generally we don't release the dogs at the adoption site that day except on occasion to former adopters.

BORIS

Leyla is such a sweet girl. She is a Black Lab mix approximately 2 years old and 45lbs.

She is a true inspiration being a tripawed, she’s so happy and excited to play and doesn’t

let it hold her back one bit. Her determination is remarkable, sometimes I wonder if she

even realizes she only has three legs. Having a dog like this is a daily reminder of true

resilience and perseverance, she is a champion. She enjoys her family time and focused

attention with us, but also can have alone time for relaxation. She just loves her time and

attention from humans, she really likes to cuddle and get love. She is a happy-go-lucky dog

that is low maintenance. She has learned to not enter the house unless invited when the

door is open, and we have also taught her “sit” and “stay”. She is also now leash trained

and has enjoyed her walks with us. We have also been muzzle training Leyla. She enjoys

car rides. She is crate trained with no accidents throughout the night nor barking. She really

enjoys playing with her toys, and playing fetch. She has a typical lab personality and look.

She is not a barky dog, but will alert if needed. She will need continued training and

socialization (like any dog). She enjoys children and has done very well with our 3 children

ages 5, 7, and 9. She also enjoys meeting new people. Leyla is the sweetest, most loving,

affectionate dog with humans.

Leyla had a behavioral assessment on 5-5-22 and the trainer stated that Leyla is reactive to

other animals and it is not solely about being on the leash or having a boundary frustration.

We have been working on counter-conditioning and desensitization training, however she

would not be the type of dog to go to dog parks. She may do best as the only pet in a

home.

We subsequently met with a specialized dog trainer on 10-25-22 that stated Leyla’s

reactivity is more related to insecurity and low confidence and that continued training and

exposure will allow her to feel more comfortable in meeting other animals.

She is such a gem, we love her.

Do you love affectionate dogs who are a true inspiration, a symbol of resilience? Do you

love playing fetch? Do love being the one and only in a dog’s life with no distractions from

other animals? Loves kids, car rides, potty trained, lab look and personality…then you have

to meet LEYLA

If you would like to meet Leyla, please contact us at FCIAadoptions@aol.com for more

information.

Sienna is a Vizsla mix around 40 pounds, about 1 1/2 years old. She is a timid little girl

but very cuddly and playful when she gets comfortable. She and her brother love to take

long walks in the neighborhood and parks. She is very food driven and enjoys bully

sticks and treats. Still learning commands. She is not so great on a leash and needs

some general training. She can be a little growly when other dogs growl at her but loves

all people and children.

She tends to follow her brother's lead and leans on him for guidance.

She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Jasper is a little chunky, mischievous love bug. He weighs around 50 pounds, the

same age as Sienna (1 1/2 years old). We believe them to be siblings. He seems more

pittie/lab but loves people and children the same. He is more confident than Sienna. He

is all boy and a bit clumsy but loves cuddles and attention. He is great on a leash and a

little more house broken than Sienna but would also benefit from general training. He

can be protective of his sister and growls at other dogs if provoked.

Please contact the person listed below for more information about this dog.

He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.

Ideally, they would go to a home together as they are very bonded but we are considering separating them for their own personal

growth. They would do best in a home where their humans aren't away for very long and we recommend crate training when you are

away or at night.

For further information or to meet Sienna or Jasper, please contact her owner, Danielle at leyvadaniela@gmail.com

Cora is a 6 month old shepherd mix. She and her 8 brothers and sisters are looking for their forever home. Cora is spayed and her other
