Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Are you an introvert who loves cuddling? Want someone around while you watch TV or play video games? Prefer to be inside where it's comfy? We could be friends!I've been in my foster home for a while and they've learned I love sleeping on the couch, chewing a bone on the dog bed, and like humans more than dogs. Sometimes I'll play with the other dogs, but I really enjoy hanging out with people. I need time to know other dogs are cool.I have a big bark and spook easily so I'm looking for a home that likes things low key. Catch all my naps on Instagram @fosterofdogs!

Details

Story

Meet Kino!!!Kino is a wonderful 7-year-old male dog with a wealth of knowledge and a heart full of love. His unique wrinkles on his face magnifies his smile and gives him a very studious look. He's mastered many commands including sit, down, and paw. Kino appears to be potty trained as he keeps his kennel clean without fail. During doggie playgroups, it was determined that he would need to be in a home without any other dogs.Being the longest resident at the Animal Center, our volunteers love to give him a break from the hustle and bustle of shelter life. During these outings, volunteers say that he is perfect in the car - quiet and relaxed. During walks in the park, he is an excellent leash walker. He may show some reactivity to other dogs or show interest in wildlife, but he is able to be redirected so that the walk can continue. He enjoys hiking and relaxing on a blanket after. He is looking for his new adventure buddy! Is it you??This sweet and gentle boy adores belly rubs and has a soft spot for treats, which he takes ever so gently. He's patient too - happy to sit and wait for treats while watching cars go by. He is a very smart pup who loves to show off. Check him out showing off to our vet team: https://youtube.com/shorts/j6b_ZjBlu_Q Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $450 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.If you're interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Kino 249847".He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.

River

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Young

Wake Forest, NC

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

River is a smart, housebroken, crate trained, and food motivated approx one year old mix.. His foster home has been working on leash skills and he already knows several basic commands. He would do fantastic with a single young adult or child-free couple who have some experience with dogs already and can continue to build on the foundation they have been working on. He is young and has a lot to learn. River’s ideal home has: A dog his size that will play with him and help him learn doggy social skills, his foster home only has small old pups and he wants them to play so badly. A fenced in yard for zoomies and games of fetch (Eventually he might even learn to bring the ball back!) He’s never attempted to escape the yard but a 6’ tall fence is recommended so he’s never tempted. He can leap clear over the couch… Maybe agility training is in his future! No small kids - he is fostered with several kids, as young as 4 years old, but is very much a puppy at heart does not seem to realize his own size and strength and can still be a bit unpredictable. Lots of durable toys like Kongs and Benebones available. He LOVES to chew on toys but does a really good job only chewing what he’s allowed too. Stuffed animals with squeakers are a blast for him - albeit very short lived!

Stanley

American Staffordshire Terrier

Wake Forest, NC

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This guy. He's been through the MOST. He was dragged out of his yard by another dog in a violent fashion, barely making it out alive. Taken to urgent care, he was handed over to animal control after his treatment. He was fighting for his life. Because of what he looked like, no other rescue wanted this guy, but we couldn't let him die after he just fought so hard to live! Luckily, a very knowledgable foster home said she would take him til he healed and work on his medical needs. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and HW-. He is an amazing soul and good boy. We hope you will consider him if your dog needs a dog - he really wants to play with other dogs! Another dog can also be a mentor to him and show him that the world isn't so scary, that there are good people in it! Older kids are fine in a home for Stanley.
