Meet the 12 Adorable Adoptables at the Forney Animal Shelter (The Perfect Christmas Gift!)
Every wag, whisker, and wiggle — your next best friend might be right here.
If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry family member, the Forney Animal Shelter has a full roster of canine and feline superstars waiting for someone just like you. Adoption fees are $95, which includes spay/neuter and vaccinations — basically a crazy good deal for a lifetime of love, comedy, and shedding.
Here’s your full lineup of the shelter’s current cuties, complete with breed notes so you know exactly what kind of personality you’re bringing home.
🐱 CATS
KAYA — Domestic Shorthair Kitten, 3 months, Male
This little baby is pure kitten chaos: zoomies, pounce attacks, nap marathons. Domestic Shorthair kittens are playful, curious, and smart — they grow into affectionate, loyal adults. Kaya is adorable and already has that “pick me up!” face mastered.

BILLY — Domestic Shorthair, 2 years, Male
Domestic Shorthairs are the “Swiss Army Knife” of cats — adaptable, friendly, and chill. Billy rocks classic short-hair good looks and that calm adult-cat energy (translation: he won’t knock your lamp over just to see what happens… probably). Perfect for families who want a low-maintenance sweetheart.

🐶 DOGS
CHEYENNE — Labrador Retriever, 2 years, Female
Labs are America’s favorite breed for a reason: loyal, friendly, goofy, and great with families. Cheyenne is medium-sized and at that perfect age where the puppy nuttiness has settled, but the fun is still strong. Expect snuggles, fetch, and a dog who thinks everyone is her best friend.

GEORGE — Vizsla, 10 months, Male
Vizslas are energetic, athletic, affectionate “Velcro dogs” — they want to be glued to your side. George is basically a zoomie machine with the face of a supermodel. He’ll thrive with an active person or family who loves hikes, jogs, or backyard adventures.

BUCKY — Labrador Retriever, 2 years, Male
Another Lab, another legend. Labs are famously eager to please, food-motivated, and great with kids. Bucky has that classic Lab vibe: happy, loyal, tail wagging like a helicopter blade. An easy fit for almost any home.

SAM — American Pit Bull Terrier, 3 years, Male
Pit Bulls are big-hearted wiggle-butts known for loyalty, affection, and that signature smile. Sam is a big boy — likely the “lay his whole weight on you and call it cuddles” type. Pitties are smart, goofy, and deeply bonded to their people.

SKYLAR — American Pit Bull Terrier, 1 year, Female
Young, sweet, and full of energy, Skylar is at the perfect age to train into an amazing companion. Pits are playful and people-oriented, and Skylar already looks like she’d be the type to follow you from room to room and wonder why you ever left her eyesight.

XENA — American Pit Bull Terrier, 2 years, Female
Xena has a glow-up story: she arrived as a starving pup once, and now she’s healthy, happy, and ready for her true forever family. Pit Bulls are known for resilience and loyalty — Xena is living proof. She’s listed as good with kids and has that “warrior princess with a soft heart” energy.

APRIL — German Shepherd Mix, 3 years, Female
German Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, protective, and hard-working. April is the superstar of the shelter:
✔️ Good with kids
✔️ Good with dogs
✔️ Good with cats
✔️ House-trained
She’s basically a plug-and-play family dog. Shepherd mixes tend to be smart, eager to learn, and deeply devoted.

BUDDY — American Pit Bull Terrier, 2 years, Male
A classic pit bull gentleman with a big head and a soft heart. Buddy looks like the kind of dog who will be your emotional support potato. Pits are affectionate, silly, and loyal — Buddy fits the vibe perfectly.

LUNA — Rottweiler, 11 months, Female
Rotties are confident, loving, and surprisingly cuddly. Luna is still young enough to be moldable, and she’s listed as good with other dogs, which is a huge plus. Expect loyalty, goofy playfulness, and a dog who thinks she’s a lapdog despite… not being one.

BLAZE — Border Collie Mix, 4 years, Male
Border Collies are famously smart — like “could probably do your taxes” smart. Blaze loves fetch, loves people, and has spent a long time in the shelter. He had a microchip but no one came for him, and he deserves someone who appreciates his big brain and bigger heart. Great with kids, house-trained, and ready for a home where he can run, learn, and shine.
