This Carolina Dog/Kelpie mix brings together intelligence, energy, and loyalty, making her an incredibly engaging and fun companion. At just eight months old, she is full of life and personality, ready to explore the world and grow alongside a family who will guide her every step of the way. Personality Popcorn is happy, playful, and full of youthful energy. She loves to explore, interact, and be part of whatever is going on around her. She is affectionate and enjoys bonding with her people, while also having an independent, curious side that keeps her engaged with her surroundings. Popcorn thrives on connection and activity, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an interactive and involved dog. Breed Info Carolina Dogs are known for their intelligence, sensitivity, and strong connection to their environment, while Kelpies are highly active, driven, and eager to learn. This mix creates a dog that is smart, energetic, and thrives when given both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs like Popcorn do best with structure, engagement, and an owner who enjoys being active and involved in their dog’s daily life. Owner Responsibilities Popcorn is still a young dog and will need continued training, structure, and consistency. Daily exercise is essential for her — walks, playtime, and activities that challenge her mind will help her stay balanced and happy. Positive reinforcement training will help guide her intelligence in the right direction and build a strong bond between her and her adopter. Dogs like Popcorn thrive when they are given purpose, routine, and inclusion in daily life. ⚠️ Things to Consider When Adopting a Puppy/Young Dog Young dogs like Popcorn require time, patience, and commitment. Are you prepared to provide daily exercise, training, and supervision? Do you have the time to engage with an active and intelligent dog? Are pets allowed where you live now and in the future? If your life changes, will Popcorn still have a place in your home? Raising a young dog is a long-term commitment that requires consistency and dedication. Vet Care Even though Popcorn is healthy, adopters should establish care with their own veterinarian soon after adoption to ensure continued preventative care and proper development. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule The first 3 days Popcorn may feel unsure as she adjusts. The first 3 weeks she will begin learning your routine. By 3 months, her confidence will grow and her personality will fully shine. Patience and consistency are key during this time. Why Popcorn? Popcorn is a joyful, intelligent young dog who is ready to bring energy, companionship, and love into the right home. For an adopter who is ready to invest the time and care she needs, Popcorn will grow into a loyal, engaged, and deeply rewarding lifelong companion.

Rory is a lively, athletic tripod with no shortage of stamina. She keeps up with any 4-legged dog! She is so friendly and warm with everyone - including kids. She loves playing, learning, and cuddling. She is a lap dog even at 40lbs. She is very food motivated. She is funny! She sounds like Chewbacca and "talks" to you. She only barks when people with or without dogs walk by outside, or to animals on TV, and that bark response can be intense. She coexists peacefully with two small senior dogs, but she is an attention hound and may be better suited to a home where she is the only dog. I have become disabled and I am no longer the right dog-mom for her. Rory needs to be in a dog-savvy household (look up Carolina dog - she is textbook) with someone active who can give her the long walks and focused attention she is wired for. She has so much to give the right person(s). The decision to rehome her was a difficult one because of how much she is loved, but I want what is best for her.

Meet Buddy! Buddy is a gentle, sweet 5-year-old Carolina Dog mix with a calm, low-energy personality that makes him an easy companion to love. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would fit right into a home with canine friends—or soak up the love as your only pup. This kind boy is also great with kids and would thrive in a calm household or with a family that has older children. Buddy enjoys cozy moments on the couch just as much as he enjoys getting out for walks or relaxed hikes. He walks beautifully on a leash, making every outing with him peaceful and enjoyable. Buddy already knows how to sit and takes treats with the softest, sweetest manners. With his gentle nature and affectionate heart, he’s ready to be the perfect companion for someone who wants a loyal friend by their side.

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!    Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.   Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there!

Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option.

We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Florence (Flora), 3 years old, spayed female, Carolina Dog mix, 46 pounds. She is in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can transport out of State once an adopter is approved. Florence, affectionately nicknamed, Flora, Flory, Lory, or Sweetpea, is a playful and energetic dog who loves to wrestle and be chased. She would do best in a home with dogs of similar size and energy level. When playing, Flora could play for hours. She loves to interact with another dog in the home, Furman by licking his face. Flora has experience playing with dogs ranging from a 35-pound Cocker Spaniel to a 60-pound Pyrenees mix. Flora requires slow and guided introductions to other dogs. She has shown some leash reactivity, exhibiting behaviors like raised hair, whimpering and barking. Her foster parents have worked with her on this behavior. It did take her some time to befriend the resident pup, and Flora may do best as the one and only in the home. Flora’s compatibility with cats is unknown. She adores the 8-year-old child in the home, but is nervous of new children. Flora does have stranger danger when new people come into the home, and tends to bark at them, especially when they move around quickly. Because of her fear, she may prefer an adult household at this time. As mentioned, Flora has some leash reactivity and gets easily spooked, often pulling a lot. However, she has made progress with positive reinforcement and minimal stimuli. She walks much better in calm environments with less activity. She will need consistent training to help her with her leash skills and feeling safe around new dogs and stimuli. Flora is fully housebroken. She has demonstrated some anxiety in the crate at home. When her foster parents have gone out of town she has gone to boarding where she is crated with no issues. At home, she is able to be out of a crate and unsupervised with zero issues. She is fed separately from the other dogs in the home. Otherwise, she shares her toys well and has no issues with people and food, although she needs reminders to take treats gently. Flora has high energy needs and requires dedicated outdoor playtimes to do well inside the home. She thrives in a moderately active home with regular outdoor play sessions. She loves playing with the resident dog, bucking around the yard, eating, going for walks, sunbathing, and birdwatching. She is a total love bug and enjoys snuggling. She does well in the car but is terrified of storms, often seeking shelter in a closet or burying her head in a lap. Flora’s ideal home would be with someone who is often around, enjoys walks or jogs, and will play fetch with her. A home with no other pets or a well balanced dog of similar age, size, and energy level would be ideal. Flora needs an owner who will continue positive reinforcement to help with her anxiety. Flora is very smart, loves learning new tricks, and is very submissive and affectionate. She may be a work in progress, but will reward you with love and companionship for years to come! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?
