Story
Hey y'all! My name is Lainey & I am the sweetest little nugget of a dog who is on the search for my very own last name. Quick Facts: Breed: Maybe a Carolina Dog X, Maybe a Shar Pei X, but she'd definitely be worth the DNA test. Age: 4 years old (DOB ~6/2019) Size: 40#. Crate Trained: Yes. House Trained: Yes! --============================= Lainey was rescued from the shelter in December of 2020 after being a community dog riddled with demodex, a non-contagious skin mite, for quite some time. When she arrived in the rescue, Lainey was diagnosed with a heart murmur, entropion (all 4 of her eyelids were flipped inside out), a severe skin infection, demodex and ear infections in both ears. It has been quite the road to recovery for us all, but this sweet potato so desperately wants her very own last name. Lainey checks all the boxes of the perfect personality checklist. She is super loving and will "give hugs" upon request but is still adapting to the wonderful world of snuggling. She has a very carefree puppy personality, is relatively quiet unless it's mealtime, and won't force you out of bed in the mornings. She loves snuggling on the hammock outside + will accept scratches from any human ever, so we've marked 'great guard dog' off her resume. Lainey is gentle and does very well with the 13 & 9 year old humans she lives with and doesn't totally invade the 6 month old human's space, though we are working on giving space during meal times - she really puts those puppy dog eyes to use (she has also figured out the high chair means free food). This girl is a toy fanatic - she really should be hired out as a tester. Tug toys, chew toys, rope toys, those weird rubber toys.. she'll take them all. She enjoys a good antler and LOVES an adventure - whether that be a walk around the neighborhood, or a car ride to Tractor Supply. When Lainey gets excited, she activates her "helper puppy" tendencies and will grab the closest leash and help walk herself, or her foster sibling. We are working on basic commands, but she is very food motivated and is a blast to train. She does well with other dogs with proper introduction - though she may never be a dog park type of dog - she can co-exist comfortably in a multi-dog household of different activity levels if given the space + time to adjust. She can be a little bossy at first, but has made friends easily thus far and REALLY loves her play sessions with her foster brother where they see how quickly they can empty the toy bin. She has met a few cats on leash and has no reaction. She is improving greatly with the bell alert system we have implemented to master house training, but does know what the "outside" command means. Now for the fun part: *Lainey has battled multiple skin issues due to her lack of care and nutrition before being rescued and allergies will likely be a lifetime issue. Her adopter should be prepared to have her on special food (she currently eats Royal Canin - $130 per bag every 7-8 weeks), limited treats (she mostly snacks on fruits and veggies), weekly medicated baths to keep her allergies at bay, as well as Bravecto. She does also see her dermatologist every 3-6 months to ensure the current regimen is still the best thing for her - her medicine changes with the seasons usually and she does experience flare ups from time to time. Currently, she takes several different medications 3x a day. The positive here is that she LOVES med time because it means snaaaaaaacks!* Please read the information below and if you have any further questions please EMAIL us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible! If you're interested in adopting, please visit our website at www.c2cnd.org & complete the adoption application. -The adoption fee for Lainey is $265 -The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, heartworm test (if old enough to be tested & treatment if necessary), and spay/neuter. -Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families. Charlotte and surrounding cities only. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Story
Chief is my service dog. She attended college and therapy with me and is very loving and trainable. Unfortunately I've struggled to find housing and employment that accommodates her and my disability. I'm sleeping with her in my car until I move away to live with my dad. I would love to find her a great home.

Story
Meet Scrappy, a fun-loving and energetic Shiba Inu puppy looking for a forever home! This playful dog thrives on attention from his humans and loves being the center of affection. Scrappy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys playtime. Scrappy is great with kids, making him a great companion for families. He weighs about 20 pounds.  Scrappy is currently working on perfecting commands like "sit" and "come." He is house and crate trained. Scrappy is eager to learn and grow with the right family. If you're looking for a joyful and active dog who will keep you on your toes and shower you with love, Scrappy could be the perfect match! If you are interested in adopting Scrappy please submit an inquiry directly with Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet’s age.     ***Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to meet/pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt.***      December 23, 2024, 12:06 pm
