Story

Tony is a 8 month old puppy. One of his siblings did a DNA test and they are mostly a mix of German shepherd, cattle dog and pitbull. We don’t anticipate him being larger than 60 lbs full grown. Tony has been in rescue since early May, and we can’t believe he hasn’t found his forever family yet! He is a very good puppy! He’s not overly destructive and listens well. Because of Tony’s past it does take him a little longer to warm up but once he’s comfortable he will come to you and ask for pets.Tony is what we call a dog’s dog, if it was up to him he’d play with his friends all day long! Tony’s ideal home will have a fence for security and another confident dog to show him the way. We know his perfect family has to be out there!

Jet

Beagle Labrador Retriever

Male, 7 yrs

Matthews, NC

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jet is a unique blend of several amazing breeds. He is a great dog who desperately loves his people. His inner beagle comes out when he decides to vocally share his needs or is excited about something. His inner shepherd and cattle dog are shown by his velcro dog nature. Jet gets very attached to “his” person, which isn’t surprising given his past abandonment and maltreatment - now he wants to be sure his person is always close by. Because of this he will need an adoptive home where his people are home often. Jet doesn’t do well around shouting or firm redirection. He will totally shut down. He does respond well to positive reinforcement with his training approach. With the right love and guidance he really comes out of his shell. If there is another dog in the home there will have to be slow and confirmed intros to be sure they get along. Jet prefers to be dominant and can get jealous when his foster sister gets all the attention. However having another low energy dog around has taught him how great it is to be a family pet! Jet really loves his daily walks, and he goes on several a day, he will need a family who is active and likes adventure. He is food motivated but does have a sensitive stomach. We have successfully navigated his GI issues and he does well on his prescription food. This senior boy deserves a loving home and family to spend the next chapter of his life with where he can see just how wonderful life can be!

Story

Bun is a three-year-old dachshund-beagle mix with a heart as big as her love for snuggling! She’s happiest when she’s right by her person’s side and will follow you around like a shadow, making sure you’re never lonely. At night, she loves to burrow under the covers with you for maximum cuddle time. This little princess does well in her crate and is working on her potty training skills. She’s also quite the toy enthusiast—squeaky toys are her absolute favorite, and she loves to gather them all to herself, creating her own little treasure pile! Bun is a very cautious around men and needs time to warm up to them. When you come home, she’ll be right there, bouncing on her back legs and ready for a pick-up-and-kiss session! She also gets along well with other dogs and even cats, although she likes to take the lead as queen of the household—humans and animals alike! If you’re looking for a devoted, cuddly and playful companion, who’s got a bit of a royal streak, Bun might just be the one for you!
