Adopt Moonshine Today

Shepherd

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Young Adult Female
Good with Children Good with Dogs

Meet Moonshine, This adorable 1-year-old girl is only about 44 pounds, but she has a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! Moonshine came to us from Virginia after her family sadly lost their home, and now she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will help her shine. Moonshine is a playful, affectionate girl who absolutely loves attention and having fun. She enjoys meeting other dogs and loves to play with her canine friends. She has also lived with young children and cats, making her a wonderfully well-rounded pup! Moonshine is incredibly smart and eager to learn, and we think she would thrive with a family who enjoys training and keeping an active dog busy. Shelter life can be stressful for this clever girl, and she can be a little anxious when meeting new people. However, she has already been making great progress with training, and we know that once she’s in a loving home where she feels safe and comfortable, her true personality will really shine. If you’re looking for a smart, energetic, playful pup who will keep you smiling and loves learning new things, Moonshine just might be your perfect match! Think Moonshine might be the perfect fit for your home? Fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt.

Adopt Rhino Today

Great Dane - German Shepherd Dog

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male
Good with Children

Meet Rhino! This BIG pup came to us from a local family who was no longer able to care for him. Rhino loves meeting new people and does not realize how big of a boy he is! He is believed to be a Great Dane/ German Shepherd mix. Currently, Rhino is 3 1/2 years old and he is about 95 pounds, but does need to gain some weight so his ideal weight would look more like 110 pounds! We have noticed that he can be a little selective with other dogs, but in his previous home, he did live with other dogs and overall did well. We would do a dog intro with any dogs in the home to make sure everyone got along! His previous owner did also mention that he would chase the cats in the home but was great with all of the kids! Think Rhino might be the perfect fit for your home? Fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt.

Adopt Precious Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female

Meet Precious! This 4-year-old girl came to us from a hoarding situation where she lived with over 20 other cats. Precious has had very little positive human interaction and is extremely fearful of being handled. She is looking for a very special adopter who understands that earning her trust will take time, patience, and consistency. Precious may never be a cat who enjoys being picked up or cuddled, and that's okay! She deserves a home where she can feel safe, be herself, and build trust at her own pace. Her future family will need to love her for who she is, without expecting her to become a traditional lap cat. Interested in adopting Precious?
