Story

Arrow is a Carolina Dingo, a rare Southern breed known for its intelligence and unwavering loyalty. She’s independent but deeply affectionate once she trusts you—a protector, hiking buddy, and gentle soul all in one. Arrow loves the outdoors and would thrive in a home with a large fenced yard where she can explore, run, and relax in the sun. She enjoys car rides and will quietly take in the world from the backseat with those incredible alert ears. She’s house-trained, healthy, and ready for her forever person. Arrow can be protective at first, so she’ll do best with someone familiar with large, intuitive breeds who can provide calm leadership and consistency. She’s happiest in a home with older kids or adults who’ll give her time to settle and shine. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with spirit and heart, Arrow is waiting to meet you.

Story

Joey is an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and playful dog who loves to cuddle and make his people laugh. However, he is not a city dog—urban life truly overwhelms him. The constant noise, traffic, and commotion cause him significant fear and anxiety, which you can see in his body language: his tail tucks, he shakes, and he becomes visibly stressed even during short trips outside to use the bathroom. Joey has worked with professional trainers, a behaviorist, and is currently on medication to help manage his anxiety, but the environment remains too stimulating for him to feel secure. He does have some aggressive tendencies, particularly when on leash or around unfamiliar dogs, though he adores his 11-year-old Lab mix sister and gets along wonderfully with her. Joey thrives when he has space to run freely—his true personality shines when he’s off leash in an open area, where he’s happy, goofy, and at ease.
