Story

Hello. I found Max 6 months ago on PetFinder. He lived in Louisiana and was brought to me thru a pet transit company. He jumped out of the van into my arms, and I fell in love. Max is very loveable, funny and full of energy. My problem is the chemistry between my other dog, Bowie. They cuddle often but they also fight and one day, one of them might get hurt. Max is potty trained and is a great cuddler in bed, should you wish to sleep with your critter. He will make you laugh and entertain you with his endless antics. He is up to date on all his shots, on heart worm medicine (Interceptor Plus), chases after balls, has a slight hop in his back leg which the Vet is not concerned about, and overall, in very good health. He is not a barker but if he hears a sound outside in the middle of the night, he will bark. I have a collar, leash and harness for him as well as a 3 month supply of heartworm medicine. His Vet is Capeside Animal Hospital.

Parker

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

Rocky Point, NC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Parker is a spunky, energetic and playful boy. He is incredibly smart and very fast. We think he is about 4.5 years old. Parker came to us from a shelter which was unable to provide any information about the first year of his life. Parker loves to be outside. He enjoys chasing a ball and also taking naps in the sun. He is crate and leash trained. Parker has enormous energy and requires daily exercise to channel his energy. Parker doesn’t do well with children because of their high level of activity and noise. He does have a very high prey drive, like a lot of shepherds. Parker likes quiet, order and routine so an adult-only home is a must for him. Parker lived in a home with a cat for two years and though the two were not friendly, they lived together peacefully. Parker would prefer to be the king of his castle and an only dog. He has interacted with many other dogs without incident. However, he can become uncomfortable meeting new dogs or people while on leash or otherwise restrained (in crate, behind gate, etc). Parker will do best where he has space to enjoy outdoors and plenty of attention from his people. A secure fenced in yard is a must. Parker needs an experienced handler to help guide him. Parker would love a family of his own so he can give them love and loyalty. Parker’s rabies vaccine is good through March 2025. He has had regular veterinary care and is neutered and microchipped. If you are an experienced German shepherd home that wants a loyal and loving companion to share your life with, please contact BMSR1313@gmail.com for more information. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. Blue Moon Shepherd Rescue only adopts to applicants in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

Shiloh

Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Female, 10 yrs 7 mos

Bolivia, NC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Shiloh was rescued from a local shelter. She was extremely shy when we pulled her from the shelter and still can be shy when meeting new people or doing new things. She is most comfortable when she knows her surroundings. She is good with calmer, quieter kids and other dogs. She does not tolerate cats. Shiloh loves to cuddle and she's a great kisser! She will do best in a quiet structured environment. Since she doesn't like change, she never has tried to run away! A great dog for someone that works at home and is a couch potato!

Story

Rooley was very sick when we first rescued her. She has come a long way! Rooley is a great dog with lots of energy. The boxer in her really comes out when she is playing with other dogs and she "boxes" them with her paws! Rooley loves lots of attention but is also very independent. She loves to go for car rides. She also enjoys long walks. She is good with dogs and kids but not cats.

Story

Zeus is usually a pretty mellow guy unless he sees something he wants to chase. He gets along well with dogs he knows but needs slow introductions with new dogs. He is good with kids. Zeus had his back right leg amputated when he was a pup after being hit by a car. His front right paw needs special attention also due to the way it healed. Zeus also has reoccurring bouts with gastritis, so his diet needs to be monitored.
