Story

We are seeking a new forever home for our sweet dog, Marley. She's an affectionate and obedient companion, knowing commands like "sit," "lay down," and "fetch." Marley is best as the only dog in the household and is not suitable for homes with infants or small children due to past incidents. Marley loves to cuddle, play ball, and will comfort you when you're feeling down. She enjoys snacks like carrots and watermelon and is a bit spoiled (in the best way!). She also has a strong hunting instinct, so any critters in the yard beware! If you’re looking for a loyal and intelligent companion, Marley may be the perfect fit for you! Please reach out if interested. Thank you for considering giving Marley a loving home!

Story

I acquired Denver from a breeder off of Facebook that is no longer breeding dogs. He is three years old and full of life and energy. He is a very loyal obedient Aussie. He can be territorial at times with other dogs entering his home but gets used to them after awhile. He is initially unsure about strangers but once he gets to know you he loves you. Very patient and good with kids. I unfortunately do not have the time that he needs and would like to give him to a loving/caring home.

Story

Hello my name is Journey. I am an Australian Shepherd mix. I am a lovable companion and looking for a new home. Quick facts: * Male, neutered * 9 years old * 55 pounds * House trained * Good with owners, adults * Fully vaccinated * Healthy I have been a loyal dog to my owners since being rescued eight years ago in Raleigh, NC. At first, I was a great companion to my single owner. Then, when my owner became married, I enjoyed the new relationship. A few weeks ago, a new baby was born and now things are too busy here, so I am currently staying with my grandparents. I enjoy being a great companion. I can be rather independent too. You might find me sitting next to you on the sofa, or more often than not you may find that I am resting in a quiet place of the house for a long nap. I do like to go outside a couple times a day. I like to play once in a while by pulling on a rope toy. I don’t like loud noises - such as thunderstorms - or strange sounds. I am not comfortable around other dogs and cats. I answer to most commands and I come when called. I go by Journey, Jay, or J-Dog. I hope you will consider me as your future companion. Please contact michael.g.scheu@gmail.com

Theo is a 10 year old Australian Shepard mini we think. He is a protector. He loves to cuddle and go on walks. Apartment life was not for him. We are looking for a good home with a yard he can play around in. He is very cautious with strangers at first and will bark but once he gets to know you he is a cuddler. We are seeking an experienced dog owner.

Story

We got Mikasa as a puppy from a breeder, she just turned 4 years old. When we got her, we had one older child but then had a newborn a little over a year after bringing her home. She is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever been around, but has a LOT of energy. We couldn’t keep her inside anymore because of the baby. We have a very small backyard and Mikasa quickly outgrew it. She needs a larger space to roam and run! We have another Aussie older than her (they get along great) who is experiencing some arthritis issues and needs to be inside more. We don’t think it’s fair to them both to have one in and one out. This isn’t something we want to do but we do need to…it will be a very sad day for our family when and if she leaves, but we’ll be happy knowing she’s going to go to another loving family.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bixby is a wonderfully sweet boy. He loves being an inside dog, he is for sure a lap dog. He loves all people and all dogs, he seems to prefer female dogs his size or smaller, he was a little uncertain around his Newfoundland foster brother, who is enormous compared this compact boy, but is finding his confidence around him. Bixby is great with kids, however, due to his young age, any kids in the home should be at least 6 years old. He will do best in a home with at least another canine companion, preferably a female to help burn off energy. If his adopter is very active then he'd do very well in that environment without a canine companion. Bixby has a lot of energy, so he will require a fenced yard, physical fencing attached to the home, no underground fencing, so he will be safe getting his energy out. He loves playing fetch and rough housing with one of his foster sisters. He settles excellently inside the home once all energy is used up. Bixby has been neutered, microchipped and is update to date on all vaccines and preventatives.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 15, 2025, 1:10 pm

Story

Meet Cassidy – Your Active, Loyal Adventure Buddy! Cassidy is an adorable 2.5-year-old Mini Aussie mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of love! Weighing just 18 pounds, she’s the perfect size for an active family looking for a fun and intelligent companion. Cassidy thrives in an environment where she can stay active—whether it’s walking, running, hiking, or even agility training. She’s incredibly smart and eager to learn, making her a great candidate for dog sports or obedience training. Cassidy loves playing with her 40-pound foster sister and does well with smaller dogs. She’s also getting comfortable with larger dogs when given slow introductions. Cassidy is not cat-friendly, so a feline-free home is a must. Due to her natural herding instincts, Cassidy is best suited for a home with adults and teens who understand her breed traits and energy levels. She will be a loyal and loving companion to an adventurous family ready to keep up with her zest for life. Could she be the perfect match for you?

Story

Dog Day Out, 7/27/24:Rocky was great today. He is a super friendly and sweet dog. I had initially wanted to see how he would do in a more relaxed environment instead of just taking him on a hike. Let me start by saying that Rocky is one of the sweetest dogs I`ve been around. He`s super relaxed once we gets to know you and you`ll notice a demeanor change once he`s warmed up to you! He`s a huge snuggle bug and was perfectly content with laying on my wood floor while I laid on the sofa. We had some lunch and Rocky did not beg and went to lay down, not paying much mind to the food we had. He is super sweet and he walks okay on the leash but there`s room for improvement. I would adopt this dog if my family member was not allergic. He is great! Foster notes, 6/1/24:Rocky is such a sweet pup! It definitely took him some time to come out of his shell and warm up to everyone. It took him longer to get comfortable with my husband than myself. He has been great with our 3 and 6 year old kids--he`s not bothered by them at all. A weird thing we learned is that he can walk UP stairs, but he is afraid to walk back DOWN them... It`s possible that this is because our stairs are narrow and hardwood, but he wouldn`t go near them and eventually had to be carried down. He`s very laid back about eating--just sort of grazes and has no food aggression. He lets you know when he needs to go out to potty. Mostly he follows me from room to room and just lays near wherever I am. He doesn`t bark at all, is very relaxed, but always seems down for an outing! At first, he didn`t seem to know any commands or even respond very well to his name. But once he got more comfortable and I got some treats, he seemed to know the drill. I haven`t tried to do too many commands, but we are going to keep working on it. He walks well on a leash. He doesn`t pull at all, but I don`t think he has a lot of practice with it because he doesn`t have leash awareness--he walks on the opposite side of poles or wraps himself or others up, etc. We have just been doing a once a day around the block walk and will hopefully get better. We left him home alone for just an hour and a half so far and he did fine. He wasn`t happy about us leaving, but didn`t bark or whine. When we got back, he was laying right by the door and nothing was chewed and no accidents. He REALLY doesn`t seem to like water. We wanted to give him a bath and he was not having it, lol!Foster notes, 4/30/24:Rocky is

Story

Arya is an energetic, playful, snuggle bug. She is four years old & we’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. This is absolutely the toughest decision we’ve ever made, but she has not adjusted well to our infant & needs a home ASAP. Arya loves to go for runs, walks, bike rides, hikes, & car rides. She is well-trained. She is fully house trained, leash trained, & crate trained. She loves to snuggle & give kisses but needs someone that can keep up with her love to play. She’s such a happy dog & will make an incredible companion. She is a high energy breed, so she would be best suited for someone who is active or has a large fenced in yard for her to play. She loves to play tug-of-war, keep away, & fetch. She's very intelligent & loves to practice her training and puzzles! Although Arya's not comfortable with young children, she loves new people & is perfect for anyone looking for a one pet household! Arya would do well with middle to high school aged children.

Oakley

Border Collie

Female, 2 mos

Raleigh, NC

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Oakley! Oakley is a sweet, playful, and intelligent pup who is currently living with his foster family, including a toy poodle and his sister, Midnight. He gets along wonderfully with both of them and loves to play, but also enjoys his quiet naps in his cozy bed. This big, fluffy boy is learning fast! He’s food-motivated and has already mastered “sit.” He patiently waits for his treats and is eager to keep learning. Oakley has shown great progress with potty training—he’s been using puppy pads outside of his crate and going potty in the backyard. While he has had a few accidents overnight, he’s doing great during the day, staying dry in his crate for short periods while his foster family is out. Oakley sleeps in his crate at night and does well in there, making it a safe and comfy space for him. His activity level is moderate—he loves his playtime but is equally content lounging around for a nap. Oakley eats his meals in his crate to avoid food conflicts with the other dogs, as he can get a little protective of his food, but he's overall friendly and easygoing. As a larger, fluffier breed, Oakley will require space to run and play, and potential adopters should be prepared for some shedding and grooming needs. He would thrive best in a home with a yard where he can get plenty of exercise and enjoy his playful nature. If you’re looking for a lovable, intelligent, and playful puppy with the perfect balance of energy and relaxation, Oakley might be your guy!
