Size

Details

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

Story

Zeus was rescued by us when he was 6 months old so that he didn’t sit in a shelter because he was so sweet. We have very long hours of work and travel schedules now which is causing him to be alone for too long. We would love to find a forever home for him so that he can get the stimulation that he deserves. He is an almost 2 year old GSD mix very friendly and affectionate with lots of puppy energy. Zeus is house trained, crate trained, and continues to work on basic obedience. He sits, lays down and waits for his food on command. He loves to play ball and cuddle after play. He is smart and easy to train. Zeus has enthusiasm for life which will make him a great dog sport prospect and a loving member of the family for someone who is willing to continue with his training and socialization. Zeus has lived with cats in the past and done well, he shows playful interest in other dogs and children.

Story

Hello! My name is Igloo and I'm almost 9 years old. I grew up alone in a 18X18 pen for 6 years of my life before my current family rescued me. I love going on adventures, meal time, belly rubs, meeting new people and central air conditioning is the greatest invention. I'm crate trained, and when nature calls I know what to do. As much as I love people, when it comes to little kids I love taking snacks and stuffies from them and that makes them sad. When my Foster family rescued me, they knew I was meant to live a better life. Sadly my family already had cats that are very special to them. I am very thankful for my Foster family, as they have shown me what love truly is and has given me a better life.

Ewok

Shih Tzu

Male, Senior

Hillsborough, NC

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Ewok — a 14lb black Shih Tzu mix with the shape and charm of an adorable little sack of potatoes. At approximately 10 years old, he may be a senior by age, but his spirit definitely didn’t get the memo. Ewok is sweet, loving, and still full of surprising puppy-like energy. He’s good with other dogs, crate trained, mostly house trained, and heartworm negative. Ewok would thrive in a home where he can enjoy nice daily walks to help regain his figure and a fenced yard where he can happily zoom around and burn off some of that joyful energy. Whether he’s waddling beside you on a walk, curled up nearby for a nap, or trotting around like he owns the place, Ewok brings a perfect mix of cozy companionship and playful charm. He’s ready to spend his golden years being loved exactly as he deserves.

Stanley is an AMAZING, 6 year old pom. He loves dogs of all sizes, and people. He came from a hoarding case, where he lived his first 6 years in his own filth, so he is growing back his hair after having to be shaved down. He is doing really well with potty training, learning routines and being a good boy!
