Story
Rocko is an 18 month old American English Coonhound and is approximately 80lbs. He was abandoned at my property around this time last year and though I’ve tried my best to give him a good home, I’m not the right human for him He’s house trained and crate trained, up to date on shots, and is the sweetest doofus you’ll ever meet. He likes kids (he likes to jump though) and tolerates cats (he’s honestly kind of scared of cats but isn’t aggressive towards them). I’m rehoming him for two reasons: I’m a single mom with no real time to give him and he’s an escape artist that likes to head straight for the road…I’m afraid he’ll get run over. He needs room to run and/or someone that can devote time to him. He would make an excellent hiking/adventure buddy. He’s really at the peak time to be trained for hunting or sniffing, and he definitely has a talent for both. He’s up to date on all vaccines and is HW negative (and on preventative). Experience with hound dogs is preferable.

Story
Meet Winterfell, a 3-year-old, 44-pound girl with a heart of gold. Winterfell is a gentle and quiet soul who enjoys taking life at a relaxed pace. She walks beautifully on leash, with no pulling, and loves to explore her surroundings, especially using her sniffer to take in all the wonderful scents. She’s shown signs of being housetrained and is a low to medium-energy girl who’s content simply being by your side, soaking up your love and affection. Winterfell rides beautifully in the car, where she'll calmly take in a breeze or settle down for a snooze. While she’s not particularly interested in toys or treats, Winterfell’s true joy comes from being close to her people. She’s a shy, reserved girl who may take some time to warm up, but once she’s comfortable, she’s sure to show her sweet and affectionate side. In the shelter, she can be a bit shut down, but she opens up more in a calm and quiet home environment where she feels safe. Winterfell can be cautious around new or scary things, such as garage doors, rolling trash cans, or sudden noises, so she would thrive in a peaceful home where she can gradually gain confidence. Due to her shy nature, we recommend a home without small children, as she may become overwhelmed and scared in a busy, fast-paced environment. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’ll be your calm, quiet shadow and enjoy the simple pleasures of life by your side, Winterfell could be the perfect match for you. She’s ready to blossom in a peaceful home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished. Could that home be yours? As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines. To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!

**Meet Raquel!** 🌟 Raquel is a wonderful and gentle girl who will steal your heart with her sweet nature and loving personality! She’s especially great with children, always calm and patient around them, making her an ideal family companion. Raquel enjoys training sessions and is very treat motivated, so you can look forward to some fun and rewarding learning moments with her. She already knows how to sit and is eager to master even more skills! When it comes to outings, Raquel is a star—she’s great in public, rides well in the car, and enjoys going on car rides as part of her adventures. She’s house and crate trained, making her a well-mannered and easy-going companion at home. While she used to walk well on a leash, she has started to pull a bit in the shelter environment, though with a little time and consistency, we’re confident she’ll be back to her well-behaved self on walks! Raquel can occasionally jump up, especially when she's excited to see you, but she’s quick to settle down once she knows she’s getting attention. She does best with dogs smaller than her, as she can be a bit overwhelming with larger dogs, especially during initial greetings. She also needs a home without cats, as she’s not a fan of them. Once she’s settled in, she’ll be your loyal, loving friend. If you're looking for a gentle, well-trained pup who loves to learn, enjoys car rides, and thrives in a family environment, Raquel might just be your perfect match! Come meet this sweet girl today and see how she can brighten your life!

Story
Meet Mikkie! This sweet girl is 1 year and 9 months old and weighs 34 lbs. She’s house and crate trained, making her a wonderful companion for a calm and loving home. While Mikkie can be a bit shy when meeting new people, especially if there’s fast movement, she quickly warms up once she feels comfortable. Once she does, she’s an absolute joy to be around—she loves interactive play and will pose in the cutest play stance, just waiting for someone to engage with her! Mikkie thrives in a home that provides both mental and physical stimulation. She enjoys training and would love to bond with her human by learning new tricks. This intelligent girl already knows sit and paw! She’s playful and has energy to burn, but she’s also able to settle down and enjoy a relaxing time with her favorite people once she's had a good outlet for her energy. She absolutely loves being outdoors and would thrive as a hiking or running buddy, always up for an adventure. In the car, Mikkie is a great passenger, riding along quietly. While she does okay on walks, Mikkie tends to pull when she spots other dogs—she’s just curious! She’s never shown aggression towards children, but she’d likely feel overwhelmed in a home with a lot of chaos. Mikkie would do best in a calm and patient environment where she can build confidence at her own pace. If you’re looking for a playful, sweet, and loyal companion who needs a bit of time and space to feel comfortable, Mikkie might just be the perfect fit for you! As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines. To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!

Story
Meet Mako, a delightful mix of energy and chill, making him the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal and well-mannered furry friend. Mako has an easy-going personality and loves nothing more than curling up on your lap for some quality snuggle time. He's a fantastic house guest, always well-behaved—no counter surfing or excessive barking to worry about. When it comes to walks, Mako is your ideal buddy. He enjoys his daily strolls and will happily accompany you on any adventure, keeping pace and loving every moment. He’s also great in public, maintaining his calm demeanor and socializing well with people. A fan of treats, he knows how to impress with his quick sit and gentle take when it's treat time. Mako is calm and composed around other dogs from a distance while on neighborhood walks. However, he may be happiest as the only dog in the household, where he can fully enjoy all the attention and affection he deserves. Overall, Mako is a wonderful, low-maintenance dog who will thrive in a home that can offer him the companionship and love he craves.

Story
Meet Crayon, a colorful and well-mannered pup who's ready to add a splash of joy to your life! This good boy doesn't let the barking and jumping around him faze him—he's focused on his next adventure. Crayon is a road trip pro, cruising comfortably in the car without a care in the world. On leash, he's a gentleman—no wild pulling here, just a calm and manageable walk through life. His favorite part of any stroll? Stopping to greet every person with a wagging tail and a friendly hello. Crayon's got manners, too—he won't jump up for treats or pets (though he's always up for some scritches and praise!). He's a smart pup who knows "sit" and is eager to please with words of encouragement. Oh, and when it comes to water, Crayon's not afraid to take the plunge—he's ready for a splash! Whether it's a stroll, a treat, or a good belly rub, Crayon’s got a colorful personality that’ll brighten your days. As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.
