Story
My name is Frodo. I happened to do something to my back and lost the ability to use my legs. I now walk and run after a lot of physical therapy. I love people and other pets especially cats. I would like to go to a home where someone is working from home or can take me with them. I am working on being alone but I am not a fan. I also am learning to ride in the car at night, the headlights are scary. I do well in public places just make sure people go slow. I love following my human siblings around and begged to be picked up. I will lick you in the face forever and even follow you to the shower. I will need to go to someone who understands I cannot jump off furniture or the bed. I will need ramps. I am getting better but one wrong move and it would be starting over.

Story
Mama Dog gets her name from having puppies when she came into the shelter. We called her “Mama” from the second she came in, and it stuck. She answers amazingly well to this name, which is no surprise…Mama learns very fast. Her treat motivation makes her training all that much easier. We have put a lot of effort into working with her on the leash and with socialization and she has done so well with every aspect of her training. Patience, love, and treats were her motivation and has been made readily available to her at any time! If you have glanced through her photos, you can just see the changes to just her demeanor from then until now. The time and work we have put into helping her gain confidence and trust have obviously paid off for her, and she is a completely different girl than she was. She keeps a fairly clean kennel, gets along with other dogs of all sizes, and loves loves loves attention. She likes to play, squeaky toys are her favorite, and has a lot of energy but also likes to snuggle in your lap. She would be great in a home with other dogs to keep her entertained while her owners are away. A medium to high energy home would be good for her as well. Leashed hikes are a breeze with her on a harness, and she will look back for your direction along the way. Play time with a tennis ball, fetch with her favorite Kong toy, or even just an afternoon stroll through town would be perfect for her energy level. She does great meeting new people and animals, has mastered her commands and her favorite all time trick is catching toys and treats in the air! She knows she is pretty and loves to show off her delicate beauty. She has been with us for 6 months now and would excel in a home of her very own where she will be loved and cared for better than ever before. Come meet Mama today-she is more than ready for a new life adventure outside of the shelter.

Story
Ole Roy is around 6 years old. He came into the shelter after walking into the garden center at Walmart--he just wanted to stop and smell the roses!We thought Roy was deaf, so we made a vet appointment. The vet says that the only thing wrong with him is his hard head! LOLRoy is a good dog. He will walk good on a leash, but you have to be strong because he is a big baby and will pull you. He loves to chew on things so good chew toys that are not plastic or items that he could swallow and choke on are advisable. Roy is a very loveable dog and a big baby. He is housetrained. Roy likes treats but needs more leash work and would be better with a harness. When he is called, he goes right back into his kennel.Roy is fully vaxed, dewormed, neutered, and tested. He is HW negative!

Story
Rubble is the on-patrol pup out of the group. Not by coincidence, his favorite color is yellow, he is one of the youngest out of our group, has a heart of gold, and is always eager to help (or just be with you and part of your construction crew).He is still learning his way, needing a little more leash, command, and potty training-but given his age he is excelling at all of it! Almost as if to say he is “on the double” ☺️ Rubble is a spunky boy who is dog, cat, and young kid friendly! He is very attentive to other dogs, we think he may do great with other pups his age or an older dog who can show him their ways and mannerisms. Rubble is still learning his way around the world and would love to join your family. He is medium active, loves toys, fully vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and heart worm negative. Come meet Rubble and his ready-to-adopt patrol at Montgomery County NC Animal Services Located at 442 Landfill Rd, Mt Gilead, NC, 27306(910)576-0037
