ADOPT A DOG, SAVE A LIFE
ADOPT A DOG FROM WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
A year later, and we are still struggling to find homes for the homeless dogs of Hurricane Helene. 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. Please fill out the application completely with contact info for your current vet, if you have pets, and your references.

Juno 2 year old Weimaraner mix
Rupert-1 year old GReat PYRENEES
Juno 2 year old Weimaraner mix
This beautiful girl is 2 year old Juno. If she appears a bit anxious it’s because she was recently surrendered by her owner through no fault of her own.
Though she may be timid at first, she quickly warms up to kind and loving individuals. Juno is housetrained, gets along well with other dogs, and truly does not belong in a rescue setting.
Weimaraners are known for their intelligence and energy, and are loyal and affectionate companions. They do require ample exercise and mental stimulation so she would love to be part of an active family or be the companion for a single person or a couple that love to hike or go on adventures. She would also love a fenced yard to play in, maybe with other dog friends, Juno has always known the comfort of a loving home and deserves to return to one. Juno is about 50 lbs so not too big but not a delicate flower either. She can hold her own if you have big dogs in the home.
We invite you to come meet her and perhaps take her out for the day to discover what a fantastic companion she truly is.

Rupert-1 year old GReat PYRENEES
Juno 2 year old Weimaraner mix
This precious little guy is 2 year old Chip.
He's a little shy and who can blame him, he's been let down by humans in the worst way. He was surrendered to us through no fault of his own after only knowing a loving home for his entire life.
Once he warms up to you, he's a gentle and loving boy. He prefers the company of female dogs and we do not know about cats. He's probably great with kids as Beagles and Labs are known for their good temperaments. He's around 45 lbs- not too big and not too small!
We think Chip could make a wonderful family dog in a home without other male dogs- He gets along with female dogs, OR an amazing companion for a single person or a couple. He's a good boy! If you are looking for a medium sized dog who's a sweet and loving companion, please come meet him and maybe take him on a home visit to see what a great dog he truly is and how he fits into your home.

shelby 2-3 years old
Axel approx 4 years old
shelby 2-3 years old
This handsome young dog is Shelby. He was found as a stray after Helene. He was a dog on a chain, known to Animal Control. Somehow he survived the storm alone. His family was located and called but never came for him. It's a tragedy that he was living alone and has never had a loving home.
Shelby is such a wonderful dog, he loves everyone he meets, he has a great disposition and has his whole life ahead of him. He’s great with other dogs and good with kids, we don’t know how he is around cats. Hounds are wonderful, faithful companions and protectors and actually make great house dogs. He’d love a yard or a home with some land and maybe and old truck to ride around in. He’s great on leash and loves adventures! We just can't let him spend his life here.
Give a hound a chance!
