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!

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.

Meet Rizby!! Rizby is a 3 year old Pitbull. Rizby came to us emaciated (seen in his pictures) A wonderful family found him on the side of the road in Pender County and was seeking help, once we seen his condition we knew we had to help him. ,Rizby underwent his Heartworm treatment and is now negative!! He is neutered, UTD on his vaccinations and microchipped. He absolutely adores people especially children. We are not sure about other dogs but definitely no kitty cats. Rizby will need an experienced handler. We reached out to Jeff Coltenback who is an amazing dog trainer to help us with Rizby and boarded him for 30 days. Mr. Coltenback is worried that once he comes back to the shelter he would go backwards. He has not yet. If interested in Rizby please call 910-259-7022 it is important to find Rizby his forever home or at least an experienced foster home!

Story
We can`t understand how someone could let this girl go, because Miss Laurel is just so easy to love. Laurel lives for meeting new people, belly rubs, squeaky toys, pets and between the ear scratches. And she loves giving kisses! Laurel is 100% certain that she is a lap dog and will not be convinced otherwise, so her human needs to be generous with snuggles and affection. Laurel has done well meeting children (at our adoption events) and with other dogs too. If you are looking for a lovable and playful companion, Laurel may be the one for you!
