Story
One and half yr old intact male who is loving and in need of his forever home. He is house and crate trained, lives with sisters and mom and dad. He has learned to walk on a leash, when happy his whole back end shakes. Unfortunately we are unable to continue to provide the love and care he needs, due to landlord restrictions we are sadly forced to rehome our 3 dogs.

Border Collie Miniature Bull Terrier

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Lucy is an adorable Border Collie mix with a great smile! She loves going on long walks and even sits politely when you leash her to go outside. Lucy enjoys traveling and is a great running partner. She loves snuggles and belly rubs. Lucy does well with sleeping on her own, with free access to her crate. She is a good listener, and overall well-behaved other than her jealousy/aggression issues. She is an anxious dog and we have given her calming medications in the past. Lucy was originally owned by a relative that adopted her from a shelter. Our relative could no longer care for her because of how active Lucy is. Our relative had a chihuahua and three other cats that Lucy did well with. From what we have seen in the past, Lucy does well with kids. We have seen that she must warm up to younger men.

Josey Wales

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Boxer

Male, Young
Durham, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Josey is a very special, smart boy. Affectionately nicknamed “the general”, he is a beautiful, stoic dog who gets compliments everywhere we go. Gorgeous, fluffy coat. He is fully house trained, adapts well to routine, responds to many common commands (come/whistle, down, show me your belly, go outside, go to your bed, etc.) especially with a treat/preferred incentive. Has been great with our 2 children under 2 & seems to ignore the chaos with no problem. We rescued him 3 years ago with his littermate & they’ve been a wonderful part of our family. It breaks our heart to consider rehoming, but want to see if there is a better fit for him. After relocating and growing our family, he needs more attention than we can provide consistently. He has lived a life of luxury thus far (expecting his morning greenie/ evening peanut butter kong, warm bathtub baths). Would thrive with an owner who is able to meet his energetic needs and is lovingly authoritative. Happy to answer any questions!

Shadow

Labrador Retriever

Male, Young
Durham, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Shadow is a playful and sweet boy who loves to run but needs a bit of discipline and training. We are looking to find him a healthy, happy, and an energetic parent. A family that will treat him like a part of their own family and keep him indoors and not chained outside. He loves to eat and hasn’t had too much human or dog interaction but will learn with a good parent. Only reason we are trying to place him in a new home is because we just had a baby and our home is small so it’s really difficult to give him time and proper space also we feel as if we can’t give him what he deserves. We love Shadow and he is a joy to have but ultimately want what’s best for him.

Misu

Morkie

Story
Misu has been my loyal companion for over 12 years. I've had her since she was a puppy but now due to a new baby in our home plus caring for ill family members, I haven't been able to show her the same level of attention and care that I did when it was just us. Misu is mostly blind, but is still able to navigate the home fairly well after having some time to adjust. She is house-trained, but will have accidents if she isn't taken outside regularly or is under stress. With patience and care, Misu makes for great company on the couch watching your favorite shows, and especially loves sitting outside when the weather is nice. It would be great if Misu lived in a 1 story home, or otherwise only had access to one floor, and would likely do better in a home without young kids since she is older and prefers to sleep/lounge most of the day. Ideally her new home would have access to a fenced in yard as well since she hasn't done well with leashed walks since she lost her sight.
