Cayenne and Mink

We love sharing stories with you of where your donations are going to help dogs find their forever homes.

Thank you to Vicky Pasenko, Executive Director of @evanstonpets, for sending over photos from professional obedience training that FDF helped contribute to of dogs in their shelter.

Vicky introduced us to two wonderful pups. ⁠
⁠
"Cayenne (gray and white pup) came in as a stray. She is about 2 years old and has clearly had several litters of puppies in her young life. Teaching her basic obedience helps keep her mentally sound and makes her more appealing to adopters." ⁠
⁠
"Mink (brindle dog) tipped the scale at about 100 pounds at 9 months old so the landlord decided she was too big and she had to go. Thankfully she found her way to our Custodial Program where we provided 6 weeks of care for free while her owner found a place that would accept her. These training sessions are vital for a young, large breed dog so they will be well-mannered and more likely to be approved by landlords."⁠

We are proud to support the Evanston Animal Shelter. They're doing great work to protect the underdog.
