Story
Sable is being fostered in Tennessee. Hi, I’m Sable. I’m part black lab and part slobber-goblin-land-seal-snuggle-muffin and I am looking for my forever home. I have only one wish... a place to call home! I love to sleep on the sofa with someone to cuddle with. I have learned about cats, there are 2 of them here. I really like them. I get nervous in new places and need help to find my way around. There is a doggy door, so I can go out to potty anytime I want. I am learning stairs, and I am getting used to walking on a leash. There are lots of toys here and my foster siblings share them, and we have so much fun playing. I share my new toys and kibble with them. We love each other! I love playing outside, and I am so gentle. I really want a family who will cuddle me, hold me, hug me, and smooch me. I am not high energy. I’m good with a family who likes to chill or take a walk with me. I travel well and am a great co-pilot. I am fine with a loud crazy household. Noises don't startle me, and I love the sounds of my family around me. I’m not a barker. I am conquering the stairs to go to bed upstairs with the family. I will sleep in a kennel, but I prefer to sleep next to you. I hope you will ask about me. I am ready to bond with my forever family. I have so much love to give. I am waiting and wishing so hard! I will be the best thing you ever did. I promise! Love, Sable ========================================================== A little update on Sable who has been in his foster home for a couple of days. 1. I am a seasoned foster mom, and this boy really is special... smart, funny, desperate to bond with his forever family. He has so much love to give and he is happy to give it to anyone and everyone he meets. 2. He is anxious about being alone. Each day he gets braver and explores away from the safety of me. 3. His happy place is snuggled beside a human! 4. Great with my cats. 5. Has met my neighbors and my family. He loves them and is fantastic with both of my Weimaraner’s. No dominance but still confident. A lovely mix in his personality. 😍 6. Sable is smart and he has this head tilt when he is concentrating. It’s so cute that I want to give him anything he desires! Just a few pics to share of him enjoying play time in his yard and snuggling... my favorite is the one of him and his foster brother Rowan (who is fully sighted) "hunting" squirrels with their eyes closed.

A vibrant, affectionate dog with boundless energy, currently seeking a loving forever home where their playful spirit can thrive. This sweet pup has a history of seizures, now fully managed with medication, and is exceptionally well-behaved around other animals, making them a great companion for a multi-pet household. Their high energy levels require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, but their gentle nature and love for cuddles make them a true delight to be around. A loving family with an understanding of their medical needs is ideal to provide this energetic, loyal companion with a happy, stable life.

Story
Meet Isabel, a sweet and soulful black Lab who will turn 10 in January. Isabel’s life has been full of challenges—she spent most of her years in a backyard while her owner bravely battled cancer. Despite her past, Isabel has an enormous heart and a deep love for people. She craves attention and affection more than anything else and thrives when she’s around those who can give her the love she deserves. While Isabel wasn’t trained and is just discovering the joy of toys and play, she’s eager to learn and adapt. She’s still active, loves going on walks, and enjoys playing at the dog park. Isabel has lived with other dogs and gets along well with animals. Though she hasn’t spent much time around children, her gentle, loving nature suggests she’d be a wonderful family companion. Isabel is looking for a home where she can finally be an indoor pet and a cherished member of the family. Could you be the one to give this amazing senior dog her happily ever after?

Story
Meet Sylvain! He is an incredibly smart boy-- we`ve discovered that he knows sit, shake with both paws, and down. He loves his snacks and takes them gently from us, but was also good at catching them. He`ll run up and give you a big hug when he meets you! With other dogs, he likes to hang out and be sweet in our doggy playgroups but isn`t very playful. He tries to keep his kennel clean so we think he will be easy to house train. Adopt Sylvain today!

Story
Hello! My name is Victoria. I'm a very loving and laid-back dog who enjoys playing with squeaky balls. I love to smell the flowers and roll around in the grass. I play with my own toys and don't chew anything that belongs to people. I don't try to escape the yard. I'm a good jumper, but I patiently wait for you at the gate. I'm good with children but not other dogs or cats. I would do best with older children who I can play around with. I was rescued from a shelter where they were going to euthanize me. I was saved in the nick of time and still have a lot of love to give. I will cuddle with you on the couch and ask you to rub my belly. I don't bark much, but I do howl sometimes, which is very cute. I am a 2-years-old, medium sized, lab mix. I am up to date on vaccines and spayed. I am heartworm positive and will be treated by my rescue until I test negative. I walk great on the leash and will even wait patiently at the door to go in/out. I will go right in my crate with no fuss and sleep well through the night. I am also housebroken. I'm currently staying at a foster home in Elizabeth City, NC, but can be transported to other nearby states for the right match. I'm eager to find my forever family. If you think we could be a perfect match, please contact Woofers and ask for Victoria. I hope to see you soon and give you some howls of joy!

Story
Hey there, I'm Fagan, your soon-to-be best friend and cuddle buddy! At just one year old and weighing a proud 49lbs, I'm a dream come true for anyone looking for a loyal companion. I'm neutered, vaccinated, crate trained, and I've got this house-living thing down pat. I'm still exploring all the nooks and crannies of a cozy home, but I'm a quick learner, especially when it comes to house manners. I'm a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs – I absolutely adore playing with my girls here! I have not been cat-tested, but I can be if you’d like. I'm a happy-go-lucky little guy who loves nothing more than snuggling up on the couch with you. If you're looking for a furry friend to share your bed, I'm your guy. I listen well, especially to "no," and I can go into my crate like a champ. Just so you know, I'm not a fan of being alone for too long; I prefer the company of my humans. Car rides are a breeze for me; I can hop in and out all by myself without a fuss. Although I must confess, I do get a bit excited on the leash and tend to pull, but I'm eager to learn if you're willing to teach me. A home with a furry sibling would be a dream, as I love to play and be active. I sleep soundly in my crate as long as you're around, but I'm not too keen on solitude. A home where someone is usually around would be ideal for me, at least until I get the hang of things. I'm a very happy and loving boy who just wants to be close to you. When it's just us, I'll curl up next to you on the couch and drift off to dreamland. I'm doing fantastic with housebreaking, and I think I'd thrive with another pup to romp around with. I'm a loyal shadow to my humans, always following you around, especially if it means I get to be outside. When I get a tad overexcited, just hand me a toy, and I'll proudly carry it everywhere. I'm a foodie at heart and haven't met a meal I didn't like. I am located in Elizabeth City, NC but can be transported to other states for the right fitting family. So, if you're looking for a sweet, loving puppy who's eager to learn and even more eager to love, I'm your boy. Let's go on this adventure called life together, shall we?

Hello hello hello! I’m Tyson and I am so excited to get my own family! I have been with the rescue for over a year. I was kicked out on the side of the road and the rescue took me in and trained me. They got all my vetting done and have shown me what live is all about. I love attention, but will relax and lay beside you too! I enjoy running with the other dogs. I like to play with cats, but they don’t like how I play. I want a home where I can feel safe and secure. Did I mention I am house and crate trained too?
