About Fig

Meet Fig! This charming hound mix, born on September 1, 2023, is the kind of family dog everyone dreams of. Fig is gentle, funny, and incredibly affectionate. While it seems she hasn’t had any formal training yet, her curiosity and eagerness to please suggest she would be easy to train. She listens well and is quite interested in food and toys, which will make teaching her basic commands a breeze. Fig takes her toys seriously—enjoying plushies, squeakers, and balls. She’s even ready to learn fetch, with a little encouragement. On the leash, Fig behaves beautifully. Though she loves having her humans nearby for hugs, she is content to play or relax independently. We believe she'd do well with kids and cats; she just needs a chance to meet more dogs before we can confirm her compatibility. **To adopt Fig, keep in mind that as an unspayed dog, you'll need to live within an hour of the shelter. You'll start by fostering her until her spay surgery, followed by finalizing the adoption. She’ll also require a few veterinary check-ups prior to that surgery.** Our adoption fee is waived, but dogs must leave with a $21 county license. If Fig sounds like a perfect match for your family, jump to our website and fill out an adoption application to get started!
