Story
We adopted Dixie when she was around 1-2 years old from the New Hanover shelter. She is a very sweet loyal dog. She was found on the streets so she has been very skittish since day one. Over the years, she has broken out of her shell and became more social and relaxed. Loves playing with other dogs at the dog park and loves going for walks. She is also very chill and can just lay around all day. She is not a fan of kids so we are asking people without children to consider taking Dixie.

Story
Hello, My fiancé is going to be moving in with me and my children in a few months. He has a young female pit that he rescued a couple of years ago. She loves people... but not other animals. I have 2 dogs and a house full of cats, plus my daughter works for the humane society so she has foster animals in and out all the time. We simply cannot house a dog that doesn't get along with other animals. She would be a great dog for someone who doesn't have other pets in the house. She is very loving and loves all people.

Story
Purchased from an experienced breeder. Henry is 4 years old, high energy very smart, easy to train. Walks well on a leash, greets other dogs but cautiously. Knows toys by name and will retrieve. Henry needs extra TLC. he has allergies and is prone to ear/skin infections. We have worked extensively to get all of his health issues under control and we have successfully developed a list of natural supplements and remedies that keep his symptoms to a minimum. The only medication he is on is Zyrtec. He does have a stubborn quality and is extremely sensitive to change. His adoption process will need to be slower than normal, so he will have adequate time to get to know his new family and feel comfortable with them. This would just mean a few “get to know you” visits before jumping into a full transition.

Story
Rocky is part of a liter that 2 of our dogs had. Unfortunately the person we trusted him with said he was too much dog for her and brought him back after he turned 6 months. He just turned 1year old. His birthday is 2/15. He is a funny high energy husky. He embraces the derpy beta vibe. He is definitely not an alpha He is currently in a house with 5 other dogs. 4 big and 1 small. 3 cats and kids. He loves to be outside and snuggled.

Story
Bought her from a private family, their female pit bull mated with the neighbors pit bull. Currently 2 years old. Crate trained at night and she prefers to sleep in her crate at night with the door left open during the day to come and go. Likes to be in her crate during thunder or heavy rain. Her crate has a pet bed and blankets in it. Is house trained and goes to the door if needing to use bathroom. Good with a bath in bathtub and getting blow dried afterwards. Does well with toenails being trimmed. Will sit, give paw, speak, roll over for treats. Learns tricks very easily. Likes to sit next to you on couch and chew a bone or just chill. Loves squeaky toys. When adopted……we will give her crate, collar, dog bed, toys, blankets, dog food free. We just want her to go to a good home and think she would love to be in another home with a dog to have a companion.

Story
I got Leila in 2021,after my husband died.Leila was 5 months old and already house trained. I had a large fenced yard at that time,where she ran and played. Sweet disposition, loves to snuggle and and lay in your lap.. she likes to go on walks and socialize with other dogs and people. I now live in an small apartment and my living arrangements have changed. Leila doesn't have that big yard to play in anymore I try to take her out as often as I can but there's a lot of times it's very hard for me I am soon to be 77. Which aging naturally has some challenges and struggles. Looking for a loving permanent home for Leila I know you will enjoy her. have questions give me a call.
