ADOPT A DOG FROM WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
We have taken in an unprecedented number of lost, stray and surrendered dogs following Hurricane Helene. And we are still reeling from the devastation. Many have lost their homes and their owners can no longer care for or house them. Some had owners that perished in the storm. Please consider adopting one of these sweet pets who have lost everything.
We require that all adopted dogs be kept up to date on vaccines, flea and tick and heartworm preventions. We will check vet and personal references to ensure that our dogs are going into secure and loving homes. Our adoption fee is $250 for puppies, $150 for adult dogs and $65 for seniors 6 and older, with an approved application.
This 3 year old is Axel. He was tied to a tree for his whole life. His owner’s brother in law saved him and brought him to us.
All Axel knew was the 10 feet around a tree, that was his whole world.
Axel was shell shocked when he came to the rescue. But now he knows that he can trust humans again. He gets along with other dogs and is a very sweet boy.
Please someone gIve this boy a chance! Doesn't he deserve a loving home and some kindness? Help us change his life!!
Meet Shelby. He's a 2 year old hound mix. Poor Shelby was found as a stray dog. We don't know he came to be all alone on the streets, maybe he was put out by an owner or escaped a situation where he was tied out constantly? He can't tell us. But he is a friendly dog! He loves people and other dogs. He's smart and willing to learn. He's working on being fully house trained- we suspect he's never lived in a loving home. This guy deserves a better life. If you love hounds, please consider meeting our sweet boy Shelby. He will make a great family dog or a companion that will love riding around with you or just hanging out.
This big beautiful boy is Bixby. He is really a great dog. He likes female dogs but is a bit pushy with males. He is smart and curious and Great on a leash. He loves walks.
Bixby was a stray although he was neutered when found. No one was looking for him. He was probably put out by cruel owners. He definitely doesn't deserve to be turned out. He has so much love to give.
He's a big boy, around 60-70 lbs. He's a young dog with a lot of life to live and we DO NOT want him to spend it in a rescue. He has so much to give and would be a wonderful family dog or companion for an active person. He is pretty calm but does sometimes get zoomies which is amazing! He would make a great couch dog, love bug, hiking buddy for just about anyone.
Meet Thomas. He's a very good boy! He's smart, he knows "sit" "come" and "down". He loves to play and loves walks. He's very sweet and is great with other dogs and kids. He needs a family that loves him, he will be your best boy and loyal companion forever! He would do well in almost any family. Thomas is only around 1 year old, maybe less. He's already been failed by humans.
He's a Boxer mix, around 50lbs or less. Thomas is a beautiful dog with a sweet face and trusting eyes. You can tell that he just wants to be loved!
This big boy is Rucker. But don't let his size fool you. He's really just a big baby! He loves toys, loves to play and loves attention. We have no idea how this baby boy ended up alone and starving. He's great on leash, gets along with other dogs, he's good with kids, and is an all around sweetheart! He's a big boy, we think he might be a Lab/Mastiff mix. When at a normal weight, we think he'll be around 90-100 lbs. He's almost potty trained and a fast learner, but he's never had anyone to love him or teach him how to be a house dog. He would do great in almost any home. If you love big mutts, give this sweet boy a chance!!!
This is Frankie!! He's a Bernedoodle. Frankie is only about 1 1/2 but has already experienced lots of trauma. He was abandoned, starving and left outdoors. Likely never being let inside. Frankie is very shy and needs an experienced dog owner that is okay letting him slowly adjust to new people. He needs to learn that not all humans are cruel and he needs to know that he deserves love and can trust people again. His ideal home would have a fenced yard and another confident dog. He likes other dogs and has the potential to be a GREAT DOG!! If you love Doodles, please come meet Frankie. He deserves a chance.
This sweet little guy is Ripley. He's only about 6 months old, hes a mixed breed dog, maybe Pit, we aren't sure. He's a cute, sweet, smart and playful pup. He is looking for a family to love and care for him. He will do great in almost any home, he gets along with other dogs and even cats!! He'd be great with kids too. He could also be a marvelous companion for an active single or couple. He is crate trained, almost 100% house trained, and he knows a few commands. He loves to play and cuddle. He's a good boy. Please come and meet him and maybe take him on a home visit.
Meet Journey. This little girl was found alone, on the streets. She was abandoned and we don't know what else because she is a little shy around new people, especially men. But she is in a foster home now and learning to trust people. She's around 5 months old, very loveable, gets along with other dogs and even cats! She could do well in a home with older kids or kids that can be calm and gentle with her.
Journey is a Lab mix. She will be a medium sized dog when fully grown. Journey deserves the chance to become her best self in a kind and loving home. This girl will be your faithful companion and your best friend for life. Contact us for a meet and greet.
