Story
BONDED PAIR!!! These girls will need to find a forever home together. Hi there my name is Mary Kate, they say I'm 2-3 years old but I act very much as a puppy. I love kids, playing outside, packing my toys around, getting in the bath, dancing for treats and most of all lovings. I am a huge snuggle bug and just want a forever home for me and my sister, I am more withdrawn that my sister Ashley but that's because I learned at a younger age you can't always trust people. On the up side, I do pretty good on a leash, I am crate trained and puppy pad trained, I love also go outside to potty. If you can find it in your heart to welcome me and my sister in your home that would be amazing. Hello there, I'm Ashley ! I'm estimated to be 2-3 years old, crate trained, puppy pad trained and trained to go outside and potty as well. I dance for treats, toys, and even love getting snuggles! Kids seem to love me and my sister, and we love them as well! What more could you ask for?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ben – A Brave Little Survivor Breed: Shih Tzu Age: ~10 years Location: Durham, NC Adoption Fee: $300.  The rescue will pay for his heartworm treatment and neutering.   Ben’s story is heartbreaking, but his resilience is inspiring. This 10-year-old Shih Tzu was found as a stray, completely blind, severely underweight, and heartworm positive. Despite everything he has endured, Ben is gentle, loving, and so grateful for every bit of kindness he receives. Ben has begun the first phase of his heartworm treatment and will need a local adopter or foster who can take him to his veterinary appointments in Fuquay-Varina, NC. When cleared, he will also need to be neutered and receive a dental. He is currently working on his potty manners, which should continue to improve after he is neutered and settled into a routine. Ben is the sweetest boy—calm, affectionate, and eager for a safe home where he can finally rest. After years of neglect, he deserves comfort, patience, and love. If you can provide a soft place for Ben to heal and thrive, please submit an application today.
