Story
He was found in Jacksonville, NC. He stayed at another house with 4 other dogs and a farm before coming to our house. He got along with the kids, other dogs, and farm animals just fine. He is loving, friendly and also loves to snuggle. I have never met such a loving dog. We can not keep him due to our older dog with special attention required in regards to health conditions. He is only a little over a year old and likes to play. Fully up to date on rabies shots, healthy, and bathed well. He is very good during baths and taking medicine. We have never taken care of a better behaved dog. Looking for a home that is ready to give and receive lots of love from a very good boy!

Story
Apollo has lived in a single home. He is very protective of his house, but not aggressively. He is great with my kids, the youngest was 6 when we got him. I recently moved my girlfriend and her daughter in and he is not accepting of her 6 year old. We have tried for 18 months but he just isn't accepting her into his 'herd'. I am looking for a good home where he can continue to thrive.

Chihuahua Pomeranian

Hubert, NC
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We got Fig in September 2022 when he was 3 months old at pet warehouse in Jacksonville. He’s a purebred pomchi and the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. Fig is great on walks/trails and LOVES fetch if you cannot play fetch with Fig daily you’re not a good match. Fig is potty trained and microchipped. Fig loves bones, toys, and snuggles. Fig is full of energy and would enjoy a yard to zoom around in. I do not want to get rid of him but my husband is having severe allergies and it is the last solution to our problem. I want to be able to trust whoever I’m giving Fig away to making sure you’ll be his forever home. Bonus points if you work from home, retired, or have a stay at home parent. He’s so awesome and I know you’ll love him 🩵

Lacy

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult
Holly Ridge, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lacy is a AKC certified pure bred female black lab. Comes with papers. Not spayed due to potential breeding; however, we have moved and she deserves more space and time. She is two this December; has been raised by twin girls and myself. She is a lab so she has energy spurts but most of all, she likes to snuggle and sit next to you. Vet appts and vaccines are up-to-date. Crate trained and house trained. She knows basic commands. I unfortunately will not have the time to keep a dog, and would like for someone who has a fenced yard or field to be rehomed. Comes with dog grate and essentials if needed. I am leaving town and am looking for a new home sooner than later. (Please check junk mail for a reply…seems to be where application replies go.)
