Story
Meet Stella Rico Estimated Birthday: 12/4/2020 Weight: 47 lbs of pure love Breed: Mixed Breed Queen Adoption Fee: $365 If you’ve been waiting for a sign to adopt a dog… this is it. Her name is Stella Rico, and she is ready to be someone’s whole heart. Stella Rico Rico is a beautiful 5-year-old mixed breed with the kind of soulful eyes that make you feel like she’s been listening to your problems all day — and honestly, she probably has. She’s the perfect medium size at 47 pounds: big enough for real hugs, small enough to fit perfectly beside you on the couch. Let’s talk personality. Stella Rico is calm and composed indoors — a true lady. She walks beautifully on leash (no sled-dog reenactments here), enjoys long strolls through the neighborhood, and is happiest just hanging out with her people. But don’t let her dignified demeanor fool you — she has her playful side too. Toss a ball and she’s ready for fetch. Offer a tug toy and she’s in. And every now and then? Backyard zoomies. The deluxe edition. Fun Fact: Stella Rico watches TV. Intently. She has strong opinions about dogs and cats on screen and isn’t afraid to voice them. Honestly, we love a girl who stays informed. Home Life House trained ✔️ Well-behaved when left alone ✔️ Doesn’t require a crate ✔️ A 4-foot fence is great if you have one, but she doesn’t require a fenced yard Lived in a home with a one-year-old child She’s comfortable around both men and women and truly just wants to be near her people. She’s affectionate without being clingy — the perfect balance. Important to Know: Stella Rico has a strong interest in squirrels (who among us doesn’t?) and she barks at cats, so a cat-free home would likely be best. We haven’t seen how she interacts with other dogs yet. Health Note — Addison’s Disease Stella Rico has Addison’s Disease, which simply means she takes a daily prednisone pill and receives a monthly injection to keep her feeling her best. And she does feel her best — happy, active, and thriving. She doesn’t let it slow her down one bit. Think of it as a small monthly maintenance plan for a very premium dog. Her Backstory Stella Rico is a returned adoption — through absolutely no fault of her own. Sometimes life changes, but what hasn’t changed is Stella Rico’s sweet, steady heart. She deserves the forever she’s been waiting for. Stella Rico is smart, gentle, playful, and deeply loyal. She’s the kind of dog who will quietly sit beside you after a long day, rest her head on your leg, and remind you that you are her whole world. If you’re looking for a best friend who walks beautifully on leash, plays a mean game of tug, supervises wildlife from the window, and binge-watches TV with you… Stella Rico is your girl. She’s not just adoptable. She’s unforgettable. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee is $365 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only.

Story
Louisa is a 5-year-old, 12-pound Pomeranian mix who is slowly discovering how wonderful life as a beloved family pet can be. Coming from a breeding background, many everyday experiences are still very new to her, so she approaches the world with a gentle and cautious curiosity. While she may be shy at first, Louisa will quietly tiptoe over for pets and affection once she feels safe. Each day, her foster family sees a little more of her personality shine through — more tail wags, more confidence, and even sweet little kisses. Louisa is still adjusting to the routines and activity of home life, and she will need a patient family willing to give her time to continue blossoming at her own pace. We believe she would do especially well in a home with another confident, friendly dog to help show her the ropes and build her confidence. With love, patience, and understanding, Louisa is sure to become a wonderful and devoted companion If you are interested in adopting Louisa, please submit an inquiry directly to 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 pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. **May 16, 2026, 1:09 pm

Story
Hi! I’m Richard, but my foster family calls me “Little Ricky.” I’m a 13-week-old dachshund mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. My favorite thing to do is run around and play — and when I do, my back legs move at the same time, so I hop like a little bunny! Everyone says it’s ridiculously adorable, and I definitely use it to my advantage. I’m a happy, playful puppy who loves making new dog friends. I get along great with other dogs and would love a home with a playful canine buddy to romp around with but would also be fine on my own. After playtime, I’m always ready for cuddles and naps too. I’m still learning all the puppy basics, but I’m smart, curious, and excited to discover the world with my forever family. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly little sidekick with a signature bunny hop, I’m your guy. If you’re interested in adopting me, you can call 704-266-3647 or email NCteam@austinpetsalive.org to learn more. Love, Little Ricky

Story
Rosie came to us from a rural county shelter. She was surrendered to them after being found in a Walmart parking lot. She is approximately 1 year old, already spayed, dachshund mix. Rosie weighs about 24 lbs and is up to date on all vaccines. Rosie's ideal household would be one with lots of love and attention. Rosie loves to use her nose to sniff around outside and is housebroken. She is content cuddling next to you on the couch or going for an afternoon stroll. Rosie's current foster reports that she is house trained and will go to the door when she needs to relieve herself. The foster home that Rosie is currently in has both dogs and cats. Rosie can be timid when meeting new people and new animals. She warms up quickly with pets and treats.

Please read ALL of this listing prior to asking questions. If you are interested in Beaux and feel that you would be a good match for her, you must first fill out an application here (please copy and paste the link): https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ After we receive your application we will contact you... thank you! Beaux is a beautiful chocolate and tan, 9-year-old Dachshund who is ready for her forever home. She came to us paralyzed, but quickly regained use of her legs, and can now run and play to her heart's content! This little Doxie has some trouble being still. Even when she’s really tired, she still wants to keep going. And she absolutely LOVES to ride -- in a car, a boat, wheelbarrow, or backpack. As long as she isn't left in the house, she’s a happy little camper! Although Beaux does very well with the other dogs in her foster family, she is capable of entertaining herself and probably would do well without another canine companion, as long as she has human companionship. Beaux also LOVES children! Like most Dachshunds, she is highly intelligent... and a bit more mischievous than your average pup. Because of Beaux’s high energy level, she tries to go up and down stairs, hop off the furniture, etc. -- things that Dachshund's really aren't supposed to do. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard, so she can run and explore safely. Her foster home has a fenced yard with a doggie door. Her foster parents have not taught her to walk on a leash, which is one thing we're hoping her new family will be able and willing to do for her. Beaux is housetrained, but her back injury affected her bladder-control and at times she may dribble when she walks toward the door. She wears a doggie diaper most of the time in her foster home. Like most Dachshund's, Beaux has a great appetite! She enjoys carrots and other veggies… and she loves watermelon. She has a few favorite chew toys -- one of which is a golf ball! Beaux is healthy and isn't currently on any special medications other than a supplement for joint support. She is current on her Distemper/Parvo and Rabies vaccine and is spayed, microchipped, Heartworm tested, and had her teeth cleaned. She tested negative for Heartworms, and is on Heartguard for Heartworm prevention. Beaux's adoption fee is $400.00. We accept checks or cash for adoption fees... sorry, we do not take cards. Beaux is a loving, active, and smart little girl who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that Beaux would be a good match for your family, please submit an application by going to our website foreverhomek9rescue.org for an application and email the completed application to us at foreverhomek9rescue@yahoo.com. You can also submit an application by going to: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (cut and paste). Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family. The fee is refunded if the adoption does not work out within the trial period. We want to be sure that each of our pets will have their perfect 'forever' home! Although Forever Home Canine Rescue adopts out-of-state, we never ship or transport our pets. An approved adopter must come to North Carolina to meet their new canine companion and then take him/her back home with them.
