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.
Meet Bucky, a resilient survivor from the infamous "House of Horrors" in Owl Hollow, McDowell County. Once the most starved dog in that dreadful place, Bucky has transformed into a sweet, joyful companion looking for a loving home.
Despite his past hardships, Bucky adores people and is exceptionally friendly and cheerful. At 3 years old and weighing around 35-40 lbs, this sturdy little guy is a bully mix with a big heart.
He's ready to learn that not all humans are cruel and that gentle hands can offer the love and kindness he deserves. Could you be the one to give Bucky the forever home he’s been waiting for?
This little beauty is Hillary. She's a 2 year old chihuahua who is spayed, good with cats, young children and other small dogs. Her owner died and she was surrendered by the man’s daughter in law.
Hillary is available for adoption and her adoption fee is $150.00 with an approved application. Could this pretty Princess be the girl you've been looking for?
We have four—yes, four—adorable, playful, and affectionate shepherd mix pups, 5 months old, all girls . These sweet pups have been abandoned and are in need of loving homes. They enjoy the company of other dogs and will likely get along with cats. Ideally, they would thrive in an active household, perhaps with children to play with. Or they'd love to be your one and only and accompany you on adventures. These beauties are destined to become wonderful lifelong companions and best friends to a fortunate family or lucky individual.
Meet 4 year old Axel. Axel spent his entire life tied to a tree until his owner’s brother in law Finally Intervened 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.
Axel was shell shocked when he came to the rescue. It took a year of living in a foster home with one of our trainers for him to lean how to be a dog.
Now our sweet boy Loves to play, he LOVES the company of female dogs, he loves people and is a great and happy dog. He would like the chance to have a real home of his own and people that love him.
Please someone gIve this boy a chance! Doesn't he deserve a loving home and some kindness?
This little fellow with the soulful eyes is Joey. He is a five year old Chiweenie who was surrendered when his owner died. He is housetrained, loves to go on walks and is a big fan of snuggles. He's a little prickly at first - and who can blame him. He's been through alot. But he bonds quickly when given a chance. ❤
He is used to being an only dog and does not take well to sharing a lap with other dogs. He should probably be an only dog as he does not get along with the dogs in his foster home. He's set in his ways- if you are also set in your ways and not a huge fan of sharing, Joey is for you! This pint sized pup will be your best bud, loyal companion, your ride or die!
This handsome young dog is Shelby. He was found as a stray, and at just around 2 years old, It's a tragedy that he was living alone on the street. No one was looking for him so he may have been turned out by his family, part of an unwanted litter, we just don't know.
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!
