My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rizby!! Rizby is a 3 year old Pitbull. Rizby came to us emaciated (seen in his pictures) A wonderful family found him on the side of the road in Pender County and was seeking help, once we seen his condition we knew we had to help him. ,Rizby underwent his Heartworm treatment and is now negative!! He is neutered, UTD on his vaccinations and microchipped. He absolutely adores people especially children. We are not sure about other dogs but definitely no kitty cats. Rizby will need an experienced handler. We reached out to Jeff Coltenback who is an amazing dog trainer to help us with Rizby and boarded him for 30 days. Mr. Coltenback is worried that once he comes back to the shelter he would go backwards. He has not yet. If interested in Rizby please call 910-259-7022 it is important to find Rizby his forever home or at least an experienced foster home!

When you are ready to adopt a new friend, we’ll ask you to complete our friendly screening process, which ensures safe and successful adoptions!
•Fill out an Adoption Application.
•We’ll have a brief conversation with you to determine your needs and preferences, find out about your daily schedule, and talk about your previous experience with pets.
•If applicable, we’ll call your veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for.
•For renters, we’ll check with your landlord to ensure that dogs are permitted and that the dog that you’re adopting wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions.
•Lastly, we’ll visit your home to see the environment where the dog will live and answer your questions. This is a great opportunity for you to get valuable input on how to integrate your new pet into your home.

This process typically takes a week or less and then you are ready to take your pet home!
