ADOPT A DOG, SAVE A LIFE
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.

sosa- 1 year old
ADOPTED!!!! Rocky- 1 1/2 years old
ADOPTED!!!! Bella- 5 months old
Meet Sosa. This gorgeous Lab mix is around 1 year old and is growing up to be a great dog. He's a big boy with lots of energy. He loves kids, he's great with with other dogs and could use a more mature dog to show him the ropes. Sosa plays hard so a canine companion that also loves to wrestle and play would be wonderful for him.
Sosa is crate trained and leash trained, he was house trained but will probably need a little reminding since he has been at the rescue for awhile.
We would not recommend that he be in a home with very small children because he doesn't know his size but he would love to mix it up with some pre teen or teen aged kids. He will be a loyal companion, protector and best friend for the right family or individual. He would love to live in an active household where his people will include him in activities.
Sosa will make a wonderful pet for a family or individual that loves big dogs!!

Axel approx 3 years old
Meet 3 year old 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 for his entire life. We know, it's sickening and sad. Please someone give Axel a chance to be a dog and know that life is not all pain and suffering.
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. He's doing great in foster and learning how to just be a dog, not a prisoner. But, he needs a forever home.
Please someone gIve this boy a chance! Doesn't he deserve a loving home and some kindness? Help us change his life!!

This sweet, beautiful girl is 5 year old Lola. She's an old Old English Bull Dogge and was recently surrendered by a breeder. Lola's last litter of puppies died so she's of no interest to the breeder anymore. She's not a money maker so.. bye bye Lola. We know, we are disgusted too.
Lola is housetrained, she is dog friendly, great on leash and loves to ride in the car. This bulky bundle of joy is ready to sit in a cushy bed and be waited on like the Princess that she is.
We are currently taking applications for the person that wants to give her paw massages, back scratches, and belly rubs the rest of her life. Oh, and treats!!! Lots and lots of yummy treats.
Could you be Lola's person??

Bailey 8 years old - she needs a special person to help her recover
This gorgeous girl is Eliza. She is a mixed breed dog of a Livestock Guardian variety. 5 year old Eliza has been failed by humans her entire life. She was abused as a puppy and ended up at the county shelter, adopted by a family that let her roam the neighborhood unsupervised. After several years in their home, they dropped her back off at the shelter. Now she is exhibiting signs of separation anxiety, not surprising after what she's been through. She will need a special family to love her. Please don't let her live out her life at a rescue.
She is house trained, leash trained, VERY Smart, loves car rides and gets along with other dogs, especially male dogs. She has lots of energy and would do well in a family with a fenced yard and older kids or a single person or couple with a fenced yard that has an active lifestyle. She LOVES to be outside and likes to stay out there most of the time, so a fenced or secured area is a must for this girl. She tries to heard younger children on trikes. bikes, scooters, etc. So she would do best in a home with older kids, or kids that need to be herded. She likes to protect her people and her property. One of our volunteers took her home so she could have a break from the rescue and says: "she is is an amazing, smart and loveable dog." If you have land and love Livestock Guardian Dogs, Eliza could be your girl.

This beautiful Beagle mix girl is Bailey. She's about eight years old. Her 32 year-old owner died of a heart attack right in front of her. Bailey went to live with her owners parents. Their marriage fell apart, and Bailey ended up at Camp Bow Wow because neither of the parents could take her when they split.
Bailey now suffers from anxiety due to watching her beloved owner die, and then losing the second home she had ever known to divorce. She is currently on a low-dose of an anxiety medication. She needs someone to help her heal and in return she will give you unlimited love and devotion.
Bailey would do best with somebody who is home with her the majority of the time. She is a quiet and loving dog and really would just love to spend time in the house or walking around the yard with her owner.
We think that she will be able to live without the anxiety medication once she gets into a safe home where she can relax. Bailey is also a nervous car rider which has cause several adopters to bring her back without even giving her a chance. She needs help. We know her person is out there.
Hunter- 4 years old

Hunter- 4 years old
This is Hunter. He may look old and gnarled but he's only 4 years old.
Hunter was a chained dog, probably chained for his entire life, until coming to us.
His ear is missing, most likely due to animal attacks while chained, and his teeth are worn down and broken, from trying to escape his captors. We had to have several teeth removed 😢
But make no mistake, Hunter is a winer! Whatever cruelties humans have inflicted on him, did not break him or sour him. This dog has an amazing spirit. He's full of love, joy and hope! Hunter embodies all of the qualities that make us love dogs: he's trusting, loyal, friendly, and good natured. We are going to make sure he gets the home and family he deserves.
Hunter gets along with other dogs, he loves people, walks, and car rides. He is always smiling and happy and anyone would be lucky to have him.
We need a foster or adopter who can show him how to live in a home so he will have the best chance at the good life, living with his own family, in a loving home. Hunter is heartworm positive and is on medication that we will continue to provide until he is heartworm free. His foster or adopter will need to administer it.
Give Huner a chance. You won't be sorry!
