Story
This is 11 year old Stella. Her mom adopted her as a puppy from us in 2014. Stella's mom is having some health issues that require her to go to a nursing home. At this point her family is not sure if it will be temporary or long term. Her main concern is Stella, which she considers her 3rd child. Since Stella is an ABLAR alumni, we want to step up for Stella and her mom. WE NEED A FOSTER FOR STELLA ASAP !! She is house, leash and crate trained. Super sweet and loving. Stella weighs approx 50 lbs. She is still very active and loves squeaky toys. She has been the only furbaby but does get along with other dog friendly dogs. Cats unfortunately are not a good mix for Stella. She is also used to a fenced in yard but that would not be necessary since she is leash trained. Please contact 828-612-2951 if you can foster Stella for us. We try to limit our travel time for home visits to a two-hour driving range (about 75 miles) from Morganton, NC. Please visit http://www.abetterlifeanimalrescue.com/adopt-a-pet.html for an adoption application.

Story
Bear the SWEETHEART!! Estimated Birthday: 11/3/25 Estimated Size: Medium to Large Bear is the male runt from a litter of 8. He currently weighs 18 lbs. He is very sweet and loving! His mama babied him a little more than the others. As a result, he is very loving but also seems to be very humble. He shows demure confidence in meeting new people and visiting new environments. He is a snuggle bug, and loves to be babied! He is a very very sweet boy. Most of the time quiet and bashful, but has already began finding his voice. Loves to be held and petted more than anything, but also more than happy to be active and playing games. LOVES playing in the water. Absolute cuddle bug and he is so precious. (He was mommas boy when they were tiny pups). Bear is in need of a foster home ASAP!! You provide the love, we will continue to provide food, vet care, preventative meds, and supplies. All American Mix. His mama appears to be a Boxer mix. We think they may potentially have some pitbull terrier, lab, hound. Bear is colored more like a Border Collie, and has soft fuzzy hair. We try to limit our travel time for home visits to a two-hour driving range (about 75 miles) from Morganton, NC.

Story
Bonnie is looking for her forever family. Are you looking for a wonderful sweet loving, playful and very energetic girl. Bonnie was bought from a breeder to be a breed dog. Fortunately for her she decided to start killing the chickens before she reached breeding age. She is now altered and will never have to have puppies. When she came into her foster home she had not been socialized, had never been on leash or in a crate and had not ridden in a car since she was very tiny. She has spent an eventful few months learning how to be a family pet and live inside. She is fully crate trained and great on leash. She is beginning to trust people and is finally letting people pet her at adoption events. She still doesn't much like riding. She is doing great with housetraining but will probably have some accidents going into new home. She is good with most dogs that are her size but think it would be best for her to have a home without small dogs. She seems to be okay with older kids not sure about really young ones. Bonnie is not a working farm dog. She will need a home with lots of activity to keep her from being bored. She is going to make someone a wonderful companion. Are you that someone? Estimated DOB: 11/30/25 Spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines Adoption fee: 350.00

Story
This is Felix. He is super sweet. He has the markings of border collie in a way, but is shaped more like his mom and has short hair. He is lovable. He likes to hang with his brothers and sisters, but will come for attention as well. Housetraining is not 100%, but he is very close. We don't know what breed(s) Felix is. His mom appears to be a Manchester Terrier. Using an online calculator, it is estimated that his full grown weight will be about 50 lbs. We don't know what breed(s) his father is, so we don't know how accurate this is. DOB: 9/30/25. Felix is neutered, had all of his vaccines and been microchipped. Adoption fee: $175 If interested in Felix, please fill out an adoption application: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/MFAR/42224-mfar-adoption-application

Story
Sapphire is a sweet 6-month-old Border Collie mix who came to us through no fault of her own after her family experienced financial hardship. She is friendly, affectionate, and full of puppy energy, although she can be a little nervous at first. She has lived with both dogs and cats and is said to be crate trained. She has not lived with children, so we’re still learning what kind of home will be the best fit for her. Sapphire is young, loving, and ready for someone who will give her the patience, guidance, and love she deserves. Could you be her forever family?
