Story
To begin the adoption process, please fill out the SOTB Adoption Application completely. Once your application has been submitted, our Adoptions Team will be in contact shortly to set up a phone interview and a home visit. We've been coming across some really nice dogs in the area shelters lately, Ivy is one of those gems. She's 10ish months old right around Thanksgiving, she's about 30lbs, easy-going nature and just an all around delightful gal. Ivy gets along well with other dogs, she's housebroken and crate trained, she's laid back and has lovely house manners, and makes friends wherever she goes. As for what breed she is, it's anyone's guess. She has that German Shepherd mix coloration, but she's got a much shorter coat and is really quite small. Her face look like some sort of small breed mix, maybe pug and beagle had some say in her pedigree. We're going to guess a solid half dozen or more breeds are in there, and every last one of them contributed nothing bug good dog energy to this lovely soul. If you're looking for a safe, social, tolerant and easy kiddo that'd be a perfect first dog, Ivy's your gal. She's going to go unnoticed with her Plain Jane appearance, so do us a favor and show your friends and family who are dog shopping, she's going to check all the boxes for a lot of peoples' wishlist. Wondering how to adopt? Visit southofthebully.com and fill out an adoption application, we'll take it from there!Our adoption fee is $300. This covers spay/neuter, microchip, microchip registration, all age appropriate vaccines, and any needed vet care. November 15, 2024, 6:10 pm

Gotta love T-bone! Always wanted a Shepherd? Now is your chance. T-bone is looking for his new home. Sadly, his human dad passed recently and his younger brother, Benny was adopted. T-bone is now all by himself in an outdoor pen until we can find a new family for him. T-bone is a healthy 8-9 yr. old neutered German Shepherd. He's incredibly affectionate and walks well on leash. If you are looking for a walking or hiking buddy T Bone is your guy! He'd love a home where he can be your one and only. A fenced-in yard would be the cat's meow. Can't adopt but care? Please share this post with your friends or local re-homing pages. Let's find T-bone the home he deserves.

Story
(100% of adoption fee will be donated to Charlotte Humane Society). Mitchell came to us in August 2024. He had been tied up in a back yard and was under-nourished and infected with heart worms and fleas. He appears to be about a year old. He has completed his heart worm treatments and is fully vaccinated and neutered. He also has a new microchip which can be registered to the new owner. We have enjoyed fostering Mitchell. He is very playful and loves to be around people. He seems to get along well with dogs but not cats. He is a foster we would love to keep, but we usually only foster cats…. Mitchell would love a home with another dog to play with. It’s been a joy taking care of this sweet boy, but he is ready for his new home!

Meet Millie May! Quick Facts: Breed: German Shepherd mix Estimated Birthday: 12/11/2022 Size: roughly 80lbs --===================================== Meet Millie May, the girl who has it all - funny, friendly, athletic, curious, and smart! (They do say that variety is the spice of life.) Millie May is a happy, healthy adult dog who loves to play, explore, and make new friends. Whether it's playing with toys or finding the best spot for a tummy rub, Millie May is always game. She is the ultimate boating buddy and could spend HOURS out on the boat. She loves water and would make the perfect lake dog. If you're looking for a fun-loving, curious, and cuddly companion, look no further - Millie May is the girl for you! Here's to many happy adventures together! Millie May loves a good car ride, chewing on bones & has recently discovered the art of swimming. She is a goofy girl, but maintains her sweet nature while proving how incredibly smart she is through training! She is very food motivated & we encourage her adoptive family to utilize this to invest in obedience training. She does know "sit", "down" & is working on "stay". She can be protective of her favorite bone with other dogs in the home, but is easily redirected with another bone or toy she likes. Millie May has done well with the cat in the home and doesn't pay him any attention. She has not resided with a child, but is a still a big puppy at heart with lots of energy to burn. She sometimes knocks things over & sometimes her feet forget how to feet, and that may include bulldozing children who are less on the durable side. Millie May is crate trained and mostly house trained, she has occasional accidents. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Millie May is $265 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

Story
Adoption Application: bit.ly/C2CND_App Quick Facts Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: 3 years old Size: Currently 50#, but slightly underweight - could stand to gain 5-10#. House-Trained & Crate trained Poco, a mixed breed boy who landed himself in the pound when he was seized from his ”home”. Now his home was the local pound and he was on death row which means he could be killed at any moment likely due to lack of space. (Let me remind you this is NOT the fault of the shelter workers, or volunteers - this is the fault of the trash that treated him like he was nothing more than worthless property). Poco was severely neglected and nearly starved to death. He weighed under 30 pounds when he first entered the system, he was skin and bones. Poco is visually impaired but we don’t know to what extent he can see and we don’t know what caused the issues with his eyes. We brought him into our rescue reassuring him that he is safe now and we will find him the most wonderful family who will treat him like a king. We could tell he was leary and almost a little shut down but we are here to help him overcome any obstacles. -Poco is visually impaired. Do not know extent. - He is learning the outdoors in a fenced yard. He requires a fenced in yard in his forever home due to his visual impairments. -He is currently learning steps and loves to be outside in the sun with his person. -We are currently in the process of introducing to different dogs and is doing great so far! -He does walk on a leash, the use of a halter with a grab handle is useful. Due to his vision impairment the handle halter helps to guide him safely. -He just needs sufficient time to settle into new surroundings. -He has not been tested with Cats. - Due to his previous life, he would do best eating separately as he may steal other dogs food. -He is a gentle soul that simply needs time to bloom. But he is worth every effort! Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Poco is $265 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers appropriate shots, microchipping, heartworm testing, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Our application process includes: a virtual home visit, veterinary record check (please call vet to release current/previous pet records), and a rent check (to make sure pets/breeds are welcomed). Please allow 5-7 business days to finalize the application process. - Local adopters only. Due to us finalizing adoptions at adopter's home, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

Paddington Estimated Birthday: 6/26/2021 Breed: GSD Mix Adoption Fee: $265 Meet Paddington the golden bear with the grinch paws. Paddington is eagerly waiting on his forever home. He was adopted as a puppy and due to no fault of his own he was returned 4 years later. This handsome boy LIVES for belly rubs and treats, so much so that the minute he makes eye contact with you, he’ll instantly roll over to show you that famous golden Pooh Bear Belly. Because of his love for treats he is a bit chunky and is working hard on losing some weight. He’s a very quick learner mostly because he’s SUPER eager to get that treat. His calm personality makes him the most perfect boy, he’s happy just chilling with you watching your favorite movie Paddington gets along great with Children. He gets along with dogs when he has slow and proper introductions. He has never been around kitties but we think based on his personality he would do good with kitties if introduced properly.

Story
Oliver was found by Columbia Animal Services on 2/1/24. He is believed to be about 4 years old weighing just under 80lbs and was neutered at the shelter on 2/9/24. Columbia Animal Services shelter is running at almost max capacity frequently and dogs that do not get adopted out risk euthanasia at the shelter. We are currently fostering Oliver to get him out of that environment. Oliver is very smart, he knows commands like sit, lay-down, shake, stay. He is house trained and has not needed to be crated when we are not home. He gets along well (for the most part) with our 2 dogs. He is also amazing with our 9yo son. They bonded immediately and Oliver follows him everywhere and sleeps in his room.

Story
Hi! This is Deo. He's an energetic playful GSD who is almost 4 years old. He’s up to date on all his shots and is housebroken. He's a bit shy at first but once he warms up it's all cuddles and kisses. When properly introduced, Deo loves to be with other dogs, and he makes friends pretty quickly. He seems to feed off the energy of other dogs so it's important he have friendly playmates. Deo knows basic commands and is highly motivated by food, which makes training easy. He needs someone experienced with GSD’s. He loves to go on walks around the neighborhood however, I do not let him walk off leash because he loves to explore. He doesn't seem to mind people or other dogs on walks. He's very athletic and will need a backyard with a tall fence. He loves to play fetch, sunbathe, chase after bubbles and do scent work. Deo will do well in a single dog home or with a mature calm natured dog. I haven't had him around kids or cats.

Story
Name: Honey Breed: German Shepherd Age: 4 and 1/2 years old Background: Honey was found running around Blythe Landing and was finally caught after nearly 2 weeks of effort. She was adopted shortly after but returned because she did not get along with their cat. Personality: When she first got here, she was timid, scared, and anxious. She is now much more confident and comfortable. Her tail wags when people enter her room and she gets excited when she sees the leash! She is sweet and takes treats gently. She appears house trained and knows "sit". She is calm in her kennel, preferring to nap on a soft bed. It doesn't appear that she knows how to play, but hopefully that will change soon. She has not yet been dog tested, but reacts strongly when dogs bark at her. She is also not cat friendly. We always recommend a meet and greet if you have another dog at home. Ideal Home: She may appreciate a quiet, calm home while she decompresses. It may take some time for her to really act like a dog as she comes out of her shell. She would enjoy a lot of space and activity and would not benefit from apartment living. Final Thoughts: Honey is very smart and well-behaved. She is sweet and enjoys being around people, and she would certainly love someone to keep her active!
