Queenie

Boxer

Female, Adult
Durham, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Queenie has had a tough life, being overbred and likely caged. She is extremely affectionate and her favorite spot is to be a snuggly decorative pillow leaning on you, nuzzling her head into yours - she cannot get enough. She would be a wonderful support/comfort animal with her hands on affection. Queenie gets along with the other fosters in the home, though she does exhibit some intolerance to female dogs in which case she pins them on their backs until they behave. This may be a result of her being a mother. She likes to walk and is crate trained, and E collar trained. She doesn’t mind being alone in my bedroom, which is her preferred space. She is extremely sweet with all humans, approaching them calmly, looking for love, with her little nubby tail going like an allegro metronome. Queenie is available and is sponsored for foster to adoption. Telling me this loving lady. You won't be disappointed.

Story
My name is Sheba and I came to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me. I arrived to the shelter pretty underweight but with proper diet and some TLC I am doing much better! I have some broken teeth, and some possible arthritis (common in older dogs) - but I don`t let this get me down! Like many dogs in NC, I am currently heartworm positive, but don`t worry - OCAS will cover the cost of my treatment! Ask the front for more information!

Name / Breed  / Age: Hope, Boxer mix, Adult Personality Traits: Loveable, The Guardian, sweet, affectionate Likes / Dislikes:  Loves snuggling on the couch. Dislikes cats! Health and behavior history:  Up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped and will be spayed prior to adoption. Clean bill of health from the PIPs Vet! Meet Hope, a sweet and affectionate girl who’s finally getting the chance to just be a dog. After caring for puppies, she’s now discovering the simple joys she may never have experienced before, her own toys, daily walks, and lazy afternoons soaking up the sun on the patio. She’s happiest when she’s close to her people, leaning in for cuddles or quietly resting by your side. Hope enjoys getting outside and exploring, but she’s just as content lounging and watching the world go by. One thing to note, Hope is not a fan of cats, so she’s looking for a feline-free home. After giving so much love and care to her puppies, Hope is ready for a home that will shower her with the affection and comfort she’s always deserved. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who will fill your home with warmth, Hope is ready to meet you.  ##2455377##

Story
This pup is eligible for our Test the Couch program — a 7-day trial adoption to see if your home (and your couch) is the perfect fit. Learn more  https://pipsrescue.org/test-the-couch/ Meet Iris, a sweet, snuggly, and old soul who is ready to retire into her dream home. She’s all about the simple pleasures in life like leisurely walks, expert level naps, and maximum coziness. Iris is affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted to her person. She lives for attention, couch cuddles, and strategically placing herself at your feet while you work so you never forget she’s there. She is an excellent car ride companion and enjoys getting out for adventures, though she can occasionally put a little extra enthusiasm into the leash. At home, she is a professional snoozer and odds are high you will find her exactly where you left her, usually on the couch. When it comes to other dogs, Iris knows what she likes. She requires slow, thoughtful introductions and prefers older, neutral males or being your one and only. Dominant female dogs need not apply. She can coexist with a younger neutral female with management, but in her heart she prefers calm, middle aged or senior companions. Puppies are tolerated in short doses, but she has officially entered her “get off my lawn” era and has no interest in raising the neighborhood hooligans. Because Iris is a bit older and sometimes likes her personal space respected, a home with kids over 10 is recommended. She is sweet and loving, but sore joints and grabby hands are not her idea of a good time. Iris is firmly anti crate and would like that known. She does just fine left out or in a dog safe room. Her biggest temptations include bathroom trash cans, unattended dirty laundry, and food left on low tables. Counters and dining tables are safe. She will not chew toys, Legos, or stuffed animals. Her true hobbies are napping and quietly supervising household activities. She comes with some endearing quirks. A bag of dog food left on the floor is suspicious and will be guarded. Put that same food in a bin and all is right with the world. At night, Iris sometimes hears very important things, possibly a squirrel sneezing or a leaf thinking too loudly, and feels the need to report it. A box fan or white noise machine helps her sleep peacefully. Iris tolerates baths and nail trims like a champ, though she can be a little sensitive about her ears. She is quirky, loving, loyal, and bonds deeply with her people. Iris is looking for a calm, understanding home that appreciates a seasoned dog with opinions, boundaries, and a whole lot of love to give. If you are searching for a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to nap near you, supervise your life, and be adored in return, Iris might just be your girl. ##2285665##

Story
Meet Chip — a 1-year-old Boxer/Pit Mix weighing 42 lbs, full of energy, charm, and love! Quick Facts: Name: Chip Breed: Boxer/Pitbull Mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 42 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: No (unless they really like to be chased!) Good with Kids: Yes (prefer school-aged kids who like to run and play) Energy Level: Medium to High Fence Required: No (he is good on a leash) About Chip’s Breed: Our best guess is that Chip is a Boxer/Pitbull mix. The Boxer/Pitbull mix, often called a Bullboxer Pit, is a strong, energetic, and affectionate hybrid breed. They combine the loyalty and protective instincts of the Pitbull with the playful, athletic nature of the Boxer, making them excellent companions for active families. These dogs are typically medium to large in size (around 50–80 lbs) and thrive in homes where they receive consistent training, early socialization, and plenty of exercise. They are known to be loving, loyal, and good with children, but because of their energy and strength, they do best with experienced owners who can provide structure and outlets for play. An ideal home for a Boxer/Pitbull mix is one with space to run, an active lifestyle, and a family ready to give them both affection and guidance. All About Chip: Chip is “all boy” with a playful spirit and an infectious little smile that wins hearts everywhere he goes! Despite a rough start to life, his endearing nature shines through—he’s potty trained, crate trained, and has excellent house manners. He can be trusted uncrated when you’re away and is very polite at mealtime, though his love of food means he’ll happily scarf down his own (and anyone else’s) if given the chance! Known as the “social butterfly” of the rescue, Chip loves literally everyone he meets. He’s an enthusiastic playmate with other dogs and great with kids, especially school-aged children who can match his playful energy. Cats, however, aren’t the best fit—Chip can’t quite understand why they don’t want to play chase. On leash, Chip does well and would thrive with an active family ready for adventures like hiking, running, or long walks. He has a more dominant play style and would do best in a home with more submissive and playful dogs for now. He would also do well as a solo pup! While he loves to snuggle and hug, Chip can be what we jokingly refer to as “aggressively affectionate”, sometimes to the point of being overwhelming, but he responds beautifully to food treats and positive reinforcement. Chip’s Highlights: • 42 lbs of playful energy, loves to play hard and smile big • Potty and crate trained, with great house manners • Social butterfly, adores people and dogs alike • Best with school-aged kids, loves active play • Not cat-friendly, he thinks they like to be chased and played with • Adventure-ready, enjoys hiking, running, and walking • Affectionate snuggler, loves hugs and responds well to treats Chip is the bestest, best boy—a loving, playful companion who’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and adventure to his forever family! Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We assist with coordinating transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!December 16, 2025, 1:32 pm

Story
Meet Barley 🍻🐾 Barley is a ~3-month-old pittie mix puppy with the dreamiest merle coat, stunning blue eyes, and a big heart. She is sweet as can be, the kind of puppy who melts into cuddles, follows you around like a little shadow, and looks at you like you hung the moon. She’s already rocking her puppy basics: Barley is doing great with crate training and potty training, and she’s eager to learn more. She’s a curious, happy girl who’s ready for a family that will help her keep building confidence through socialization, training, and plenty of adventures. Barley would thrive in a home that’s excited to watch a puppy grow, learn, and discover the world, one tail wag at a time. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with movie-star eyes and a lot of sweetness… Barley might just be your girl. 💙✨

Story
✨ Meet Star ✨ Star’s story began with heartbreak — her former “family” tried to throw her off a bridge. She was found emaciated, heartworm positive, and still wagging her tail at the shelter staff who saved her. Today? She is an entirely different dog — healthy, confident, and absolutely in love with life. ⭐️ After completing heartworm treatment and her spay, Star spent the month of January 2026 in a board-and-train program, and the transformation has been incredible. Her love of people has fully evolved — Star now adores making new human friends and happily greets everyone she meets. She warms up quickly and shows her affection in the most joyful ways: full-body rubs, enthusiastic lean-ins, and bouncing straight into the air with all four paws off the ground when she’s excited to see you. Through her training, Star has built a much stronger obedience foundation. She understands walking in a heel, has been off-leash trained, and is learning how to build meaningful relationships through play. She loves to explore the world, go sniffing and “hunting” (with permission), and enthusiastically play tug and fetch. She recently attended her first house party and was convinced every guest was there just for her — and honestly, she wasn’t wrong. She has done wonderfully meeting both men and women and continues to gain confidence in new environments, including dog-friendly stores. All of this is still new to her, and she’s taking it on with curiosity and bravery. When it comes to dogs, Star is continuing to grow and evolve. She has been integrating with other dogs on group pack walks, and has also successfully socialized and played with select dogs one-on-one without a muzzle. Matching her with the right dog — in temperament and energy — is key, but her progress has been truly encouraging as her social skills continue to develop. At home, Star is a dream. She’s crate and house trained, settles beautifully in her crate, rides like a pro in her car crate, and is always ready for her next adventure. 👑 Star is looking for: • A calm, structured home • An adopter excited to continue training and confidence-building • Humans who want to expand her world, not shrink it 💛 Our rescue will sponsor trainer handoff sessions to ensure her progress continues seamlessly. Fiercely loyal, deeply goofy, and bursting with joy — Star has worked hard for this version of herself, and her future is brighter than ever ✨ 📩 DM @wally_the_pit or apply via the link to chat more — her foster mom is always happy to gush about her favorite girl.
