It must be a sign! You've been longing for a furry "best friend" (or maybe a second or third) but were waiting for just the right time? How about National Dog Day, August 26?
Animal advocate Colleen Paige started National Dog Day on August 26, 2004. The August 26 date was significant to Colleen because that was the day her family adopted their pet sheltie. Colleen wanted a day that everyone could celebrate "man's best friend" and especially to draw attention to the number of dogs waiting in shelters for loving homes. Please take a look at some of Floyd County's wonderful, doggos waiting for adoption. Then fill out your application and you're on your way to adding a new member of your family!  Share

 Earl (middle) with his new pack members, Heidi and Charlie.  Earl at the top of Buffalo Mountain Earl found his forever home in July!
His new family says: Earl has been a great addition to our pack! He is getting along well with his new dog siblings Charlie and Heidi. Earl enjoys playing fetch in the back yard and brings the ball back for another throw until he gets tired. He has gotten to go for walks in the park and a hike up Buffalo Mountain! He is a rambunctious pup during the day but a snuggler at night. He has been a great playmate for our dog Charlie and is respectful of our older pup Heidi, who occasionally likes to join in on the fun. I am so grateful to Earl’s foster mom [note: an FCHS volunteer*] for all the work she did with him. He is doing very well on a leash thanks to her! I think the FCHS does a wonderful job with the application and meeting process to ensure dogs are going to a good home and that the dog is a good match for the family and current pets. Keep up the amazing work you are doing in our community FCHS! Good boy, Earl! *Please read our blog post about ways YOU can volunteer! You don't have to foster a pet-- just become a member for as little as $5 per year or volunteer when you can--once a month or once a year. It's up to you! Share
