My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Deacon, he is a mixed breed dog with a great personality… uh, dog-anality. Deacon is a neutered male coming in at about 45 lbs of pure love. He is just a chill guy with a splash of zoomies! Deacon can jump for the sky and loves a good run in the yard, so a 5 ft fenced-in yard is a must for this boy.  If you want to see pure joy, watch him when he is playing with toys, particularly squeaky toys (which is his absolute FAVORITE). Deacon will thrive if he is the only dog in the home, but he loves cats! He may give them a little chase, but all in all, he just wants to show his love with a little play.  Deacon was bounced around a bit before he went to his foster home, so he’s learned to love and trust again. Due to that, he can be slow to warm up, but once you are his person, he desires nothing more than to be by your side as your furry companion… and have squeaky toys. Don’t forget the squeaky toys! Deacon is house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. He has completed training with multiple trainers learning new things & preparing him for his new home. Deacon is still figuring out the world and will need someone who will be patient and give him some extra TLC.  He does not like being thrown into new situations,  so he will need someone who can be patient with him when he encounters new people and places. Note: The training he received comes with lifetime training touch-ups (adoption location dependent). Once he has settled in, the trainer will provide you with training sessions to help acclimate him to his new home. They also provide group training sessions most Saturdays at local parks.  If you think Deacon would make a good addition to your family, fill out an application at lastdaydogs.com    September 3, 2025, 10:37 pm

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All dogs are fully vetted, have age appropriate core vaccinations, and have been spayed/neutered and microchiped. 100% of the adoption fees go back to helping us rescue more dogs.

Our adoption process consists of an application, phone or face to face interview, home visit and reference checks. If you are approved to adopt from Tails of the Unwanted, you will be required to sign an adoption contract.

Go meet their pets

Our dogs are placed in foster homes around North Carolina and currently in the Concord, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston Salem, High Point and Salisbury areas. We want our dogs to be placed in a loving and caring home and will arrange meet and greets with approved adopters.

More about this rescue

We are a rescue that networks and promote shelter dogs at risk of being euthanized at high kill shelters. If no one comes to their rescue, we step in. We are always looking for fosters and donations as well as volunteers so that we can continue to save the dogs who have run out of time at the high kill shelters.
