Story
Lucy is an adorable Border Collie mix with a great smile! She loves going on long walks and even sits politely when you leash her to go outside. Lucy enjoys traveling and is a great running partner. She loves snuggles and belly rubs. Lucy does well with sleeping on her own, with free access to her crate. She is a good listener, and overall well-behaved other than her jealousy/aggression issues. She is an anxious dog and we have given her calming medications in the past. Lucy was originally owned by a relative that adopted her from a shelter. Our relative could no longer care for her because of how active Lucy is. Our relative had a chihuahua and three other cats that Lucy did well with. From what we have seen in the past, Lucy does well with kids. We have seen that she must warm up to younger men.

Story
Virginia is a 9-year-old border collie/Staffordshire terrier mix. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and spayed. We adopted her from the Wake County SPCA when she was a puppy, and have had her ever since. She has been a great dog, but she has struggled with horrible anxiety since we had our son and we have another one on the way. We have tried giving her anxiety medication and it isn’t helping her nervousness with our toddler walking and running around. She’s not aggressive towards our toddler, but I would like her to have a good home where she can play, run outside, and feel normal instead of consistently anxious and shaky. She deserves better. She is very sweet and loving, loves snuggles, and taking walks outside. She’s a great nap and sleep companion too. She’s a great dog.

Story
Meet Jolene. She is a collie mix who is full of life and just simply adorable. She has masted the art of head tilting, snuggling and winning over most people she meets. Jolene loves to play with toys, and people but shes not sure of other dogs so would need to be in a home without another furry friend. She has lots of energy, so someone who is going to play and work with her. She loves her crate and will often settle in it by herself for a nap. If Jolene sounds like she could be your new best friend, apply at pipsrescue.org/adopt ##1611630##

Story
Have you sworn off the male species? Do you like to plan your life to each precise detail? We have a dog for you! Macon is a handsome and intelligent Border Collie, a 3 yr old male with a unique personality. Macon has a preference for a female-only household due to his past experiences with men. He is a very sensitive dog and becomes frightened when faced with unexpected changes and new people. However, he is incredibly loyal and affectionate with those he trusts, making him a perfect companion for a patient and understanding owner. Macon is an amazingly neutral dog we often trust for dog temperament testing. He is more infatuated with his human than he has ever cared about a dog. Macon has a few hobbies that he thoroughly enjoys. - He loves going on car rides and will sit at your door waiting for an adventure & jump in any car that has an open door! - Hiking, Walking Trails, Running Pretty much anything in Nature - Yes, Yes and Yes! - Do you have an arm that will throw his ball for hours and hours - You are just the person he's been wishing we were! - Have you dreamed of a dog to work on agility and/or Dock Diving? This is exactly what this guy wants! - Cuddle on the couch after a long day - he will happily borrow oxygen! In the proper environment Macon is also an off-leash trained, which is a testament to his discipline and intelligence. However, his velcro dog nature and ability to frighten easily with strangers makes it important that he always stays close to his owner and safely away from others that he doesn't know. He has not pursued someone by any means yet will push them back with a growl if he feels they are a threat to him. Macon has a sweet temperament, and his playful and loving nature makes him the perfect fit for an owner who can provide him with a calm and stable environment. He needs a home that is in a more rural area with fewer distractions and someone who can be patient with him as he adapts to new situations and people. With the right owner, Macon will undoubtedly blossom into a confident and happy dog. Macon has proven to bond to his person and trust others to be near when his person is in the room. He can meet people as long as they do not interact with him physically or acknowledge him until he is comfortable. We believe in this guy so much that we are willing to pay for additional personalized formal training if the right family is found. He currently has 3 special ladies he trusts with all his heart whom can do anything with him and he is just happy and eager to oblige. He has met many others and has participated in group trainings with no issue as long as those there keep their distance not making him feel pressured to greet. We do understand this sounds overwhelming when looking for a pet yet if you are looking for that once in a life time pet to fill your world with love, loyalty and companionship this is your guy! Macon is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, current on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. My adoption fee is $325. If you have read this far and still haven't turned away, reach out to our dog program manager SusanRoberts@secondchancenc.org.

Story
Rex is about 1o years old and we think a Husky/Border Collie mix (his eyes are half blue).  One of our volunteers came across Rex delivering for Meals on Wheels.   He was tied up outside where he has spent his entire life.    The owner said they didn't want him and gave him to Marden's Ark Dog Tales.   We took Rex to the vet to get up to date on vaccines.  He tested positive for Heartworms.  Not surprising since he lived his life outside without heartworm preventative.    He has completed the heartworm treatment and will need to be retested in June 2024 to confirm he is heartworm free. Rex is an older laid back guy.  He gets along with other dogs and people. If you are his person, he stays close to you. Rex is house trained and will hit a hanging bell from the door knob when he needs to go outside.  He's very smart ! Rex is up to date on vaccines, and flea preventative. He is microchipped and neutered. Adoption Fee: $250 If you would like to foster Rex, please fill out a Foster Application https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/foster-application/ If you would like to adopt Rex, please fill out an Adoption Application https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/adoption-application/ If you would like to donate for Rex's medical care, you can do that any of these ways: Our website: https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/donate/ Or Paypal: doggiepaypal@doggierefuge.org Or Venmo:  @Jennifer-Smith-4776 Or mail a check to: Marden's Ark Dog Tales PO Box 99592 Raleigh, NC 27624
