My story

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

Biles is tied for the largest puppy in the litter. She was initially very shy and reluctant to be handled, but overcame that in a couple of days and is now an affectionate part of the litter. Biles is a good eater and consumes her kibble with relish. Her litter eats their kibble individually in a crate and are very calm when finished (they are not very calm before eating - eating is a big deal for a puppy). They are required to sit prior to any of them being picked up and put in a crate to eat. As a result, the entire litter knows both the verbal and hand commands to "sit! This technique was surprisingly easy to train - if they sat, they got picked up and put in a crate to eat - and the others NOTICED what it took! Biles seems to be the smartest puppy in the litter. She picked up on the "sit part of the eating routine within two or three meals. Most puppies take 10 or more meals to understand what to do. Biles sleeps soundly at night, except for a few cute snores. They all love human attention and become very calm and relaxed when being picked up and petted -Biles has shown to be an affectionate puppy and is now eager to come for petting. Biles would love to be part of your household!
*Weekend Host feedback: "Biles loves other dogs and did great with our 6 year old lab mix. She enjoyed following her lead and made fast friends with her. Biles did well in the car and had no accidents during her stay and was quick to run to the door when she needed to go out".

Recent Weekend Host also added: " Biles did great on the car ride home and had her head on my boyfriend's arm the whole time. " "We put her in her crate and she slept through the rest of the night. On Saturday morning she woke us up bright and early and let us know she had to go potty." "This morning she was walking on the leash with some hesitation but she was doing so much better than the previous night! " "On Saturday night she really started showing her personality! After dinner, we went for a walk and she was doing an amazing job! She knew where to go and had so much more confidence!" "She is extremely playful and silly once she warms up to you." "She may be shy at first, but once you show her she can trust you, she is the sweetest cuddle bug!"

Additional adoption info

All puppies and dogs at Saving Grace are crate trained, have been spayed/neutered, are up to date on their vaccines, are on heartworm preventative and have been microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350.00. Each has been carefully screened for disposition and temperament in order to provide your home with a safe companion that will enjoy life as your new family member.

If you are interested in meeting one of our dogs, please complete an Adoption Application at our website: savinggracenc.org

Sending an Application does not commit you to an adoption, it simply provides us with background information on potential homes. Please review our Adoption Contract before sending an Application to ensure that you will be able to provide the requirements stated in the contract. The Contract must be signed at the time of adoption.

Saving Grace is a small, non-profit 501-C3 organization operated by volunteers only. Most of our animals come from rural animal control shelters where lack of space and resources limit their time and adoption possibilities. Thank you for choosing Saving Grace! We look forward to helping you find your new companion and family member.

More about this rescue

Located in central North Carolina and officially established in 2004, Saving Grace has placed over 15,000 dogs into homes since its inception. These dogs were from rural animal control facilities with little resources and who would otherwise not had the opportunity to receive necessary veterinary care and a chance at adoption. While we have grown significantly over the years and have been successful growing our numbers we still see many great dogs miss the opportunity of adoption.

We have a large variety of dogs varying in breed, size, shape, age and needs and would love to work with you to find you a great dog companion while providing a dog in need with a loving home. Our dogs are chosen based on temperament and socialization. We get some of the most charming, unique mix breeds as well as some striking purebreds. Our dogs come from rural, underserved areas and while they may have little experience as an indoor family member, they have the temperament and personality that is sure to bring much love and appreciation to their new home. Most have started their crate training while in our program. Veterinary care including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test, vaccinations, monthly preventatives are provided prior to each adoption. If you would like more information about adopting one of our dogs, please email savinggrace@savinggracenc.org
