Story
Gregory is the flashiest puppy from his litter. While all of his siblings were solid colored, he is the only spotted one! We aren't sure what breed Gregory is, but we do know that his mother was a 22lb Dachshund mix with a longgg body! He is likely to be medium sized when full grown. He is currently about 6 months old (1/25/24 birthday).  Gregory is a typical puppy who likes to play hard and nap harder. He has been well socialized in a house full of other dogs, including small dogs and frequently visiting children. Gregory has been neutered, is fully vaccinated, and microchipped.  ************************Gregory is located in a foster home. We are happy to coordinate a meet & greet for pre-approved adopters. To get started, please submit an adoption application at https://bit.ly/USAHOTNADOPT2024 Adoption process:Potential adopters complete our online application. From there, we contact them to continue the screening process including checking references, vet checks, and a personal phone interview. Upon completion, potential adopters are pre-approved. From there, potential adopters are put in touch with the foster parent(s) of the dog they are interested in adopting. If a specific dog is not in mind, admins will make suggestions based on who we feel will be good candidates for their home. We take the foster's opinions into high consideration when determining ideal fit for an adoption. Once the dog is determined to be a good fit for the adoptive home, the adopter is given advisement on decompression, training, safety gear, and future preventative vetting. The adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid to finalize the adoption. ##2124417##

Story
UPDATE on Charlie: we were so lucky to secure a place for Charlie with a trainer that has spent the last couple of months working on his manners and good structure! He will soon be debuting his new attitude complete with all of the new things he has learned. We are seeking applicants ready to take Charlie on in their home. He will come with a lesson from his trainer to get him established in his new home -- and his trainer (and foster mom) will only be a phone call away for any questions or when needs arise. Charlie is a GREAT dog and we are so glad we have been able to give him the chance to bloom right where he was planted.  Charlie got the golden ticket into rescue -- and it is a GOOD thing he did, because he needed structure and boundaries to guide him! You see Charlie is a chiweenie (chihuahua/dachshund mix) that landed in the home of a single older woman at the much too young an age of 6 weeks when he was acquired off of Craigslist. From the beginning the cards were stacked against this boy - taken from his mom and litter too soon; landing in the home of a senior that was not able to take him for walks or work with his socialization that he lacked being taken too soon from his family; and being 2 breeds that can get quite sassy if allowed! Charlie is a 10 lb guy with unique coat coloration and a very cute little mohawk. In the right home, Charlie is very little issue 99% of the time (we will get to that 1% of the time in a minute) and is a normal bouncing little puppy that you would never suspect had a bad beginning! Charlie LOVES to play with the other small dogs in his foster home and loves all of the humans in his foster home as well. Charlie is extremely smart and learns very fast - which is both a blessing and a curse (because he often is too smart for his own good). Charlie is mostly housetrained but does need someone that will keep him on a consistent schedule. Speaking of consistency - Charlie needs LOTS of consistency, routine and boundaries. Charlie is great with small dogs, cats and "his" people. Charlie is crate trained and loves to go for walks!  Now that 1% of the time (which can feel like 90% if you are not dog savvy and able to keep Charlie in line) - Charlie does resource guard his bed, sofa and even the big bed from other dogs at times (not always). He will sometimes lunge at other dogs and bite them (even his dog friends) if he is in a guarding mood. In his foster home, Charlie is not allowed on the sofa or big bed for sleeping because he cannot kindly share it with other dogs. Most of the time he understands these rules - sometimes (as puppies do) he tests the rules so he needs some gentle reminders that he cannot share so he belongs on the dog bed instead! Charlie also is TERRIBLE at allowing new people into his home (kind of comes with the territory of resource guarding) and needs some good firm structure around when new people enter the home. He is either crated when new people come over or kept on a leash with firm guidance for new people to ignore him until he calms himself down (which he will do). Charlie is not everyone's cup of tea - we get that he will need a home ready for a quirky pup that has some behavior problems. He is THRIVING in his foster home and starting some obedince training which we know will help him soar! Charlie can, will and has bitten in his previous situation so we will not be allowing him to go to a home with children under the age of 12 years of age. Charlie's new home MUST be extremely dog savvy and ready to have a puppy that tests the limits of pack order. Once given some time to adjust, Charlie really likes most any dog and he actually prefers to be part of a little pack because they boost his confidence. For the smoothest transition it would be best to have a local adopter to Greensboro NC where Charlie is fostered so that training assistance can be provided and a slower introduction can be done to aid in his transition. But other locations are considered for the right fit ready to tackle this adorable boy! Charlie really is a neat little dog - he has the BEST head tilts in all the world and his foster mom said he came equipped with satellite dishes instead of ears on his head! Charlie LOVES toys and his people - he gets so excited when everyone gets home because he knows it equals more attention for him. Charlie is truly what rescue is all about -- saving the ones that have not the best behavior and are in need of better guidance. He is the kind of stone that most of the world would not stop to polish to see it shine -- but shine he is doing in the right hands. Charlie has LOTS of love to give (tons in fact) and we know that the perfect home with a Charlie-sized hole is just waiting to win this golden egg! ##1789418##

Please read ALL of this listing prior to asking questions. If you are interested in Levi and feel that you would be a good match for him, you must first fill out an application here (please copy and paste the link): https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ After we receive your application we will contact you... thank you! Meet Levi... our newest senior Dachshund who is needing his forever home through no fault of his own. This little guy is always happy, although he's not so little, and needs to lose a few pounds. He currently weighs about 20-lbs. and is now on a diet... hopefully he'll soon get to his optimal weight of about 15-lbs.. Even though he's a senior, he's still a very active boy... he loves going for walks and rides very well in the car. We are looking for a family for Levi who is active and will take him for walks and on new adventures. Since he rides so well, he would be a good companion for a family who likes to travel and will take along their canine buddy. He's a very social boy... extremely well behaved, not a barker, and gets along very well with people and other dogs. He is a wonderful canine companion! Levi is well housetrained and crate trained, although he'd rather not sleep in his crate. Since he's a quiet boy and not a barker as are many Dachshunds, he could be a good choice for apartment-living, as long as he has human companionship during the day and gets to go on plenty of walks. Levi is neutered, current on his Distemper/Parvo and Rabies vaccines, tested negative for Heartworms, and is on heartworm prevention. He also had a dental cleaning. Levi's adoption fee is $400.00. We accept checks or cash for adoption fees... sorry, we do not take cards. Levi is a loving, active, and smart little boy who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that Levi would be a good match for your family, please submit an application by going to our website foreverhomek9rescue.org for an application and email the completed application to us at foreverhomek9rescue@yahoo.com. You can also submit an application by going to: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (cut and paste). Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family. The fee is refunded if the adoption does not work out within the trial period. We want to be sure that each of our pets will have their perfect 'forever' home! Although Forever Home Canine Rescue adopts out-of-state, we never ship or transport our pets. An approved adopter must come to North Carolina to meet their new canine companion and then take him/her back home with them.

Story
Doc & Marten are an infectious brother duo that will light up your home. Their foster mom describes them as So lovable, Inquisitive and playful.  We think these dudes may be a year & a half old.These boys will play fetch & even retrieve well.  With more practice & continued reinforcement of commands, these boys are eager to learn. Marten knows the sit command but Doc is still working to perfect that skill. However, Doc is better with ball fetch so they just even out in skills department! Doc & Marten are good with small dogs.  We have not seen them in environments with bigger dogs, but with proper introductions & patience, we suspect they would adapt.  As for children - that is another environment we have not tested.  We are quite optimistic kids over the age of 5 would work fine.  Their foster mom regards them as adaptable so we suspect when handled appropriately, most scenarios can work.  As for everyone's first question - potty .. it's a work in progress.  Marten will alert when it's time but Doc has proven to be slower to notify you.  There will for sure be mishaps.  A good schedule & routine will continue to improve the bathroom department. They share everything, from their food to their water to their toys and their bed space.  It's a forever playmate.  Their foster mom has not kenneled them but says they do well contained in a space with a gate.  They may need reinforcement in leash walking.  They arrived to us under the weather so between recovery & this sweltering Carolina heat, walks have not been the priority.  Likely, the two together need practice to be good citizens on a leash but it's doable.  We'd love them to have a fenced yard.  We are open to discussing the right home without one, but please know these guys are young, energetic & need time to play.  And don't forget - there are two of them!  Without a yard, their new family will have to commit to serious daily activity.  Doc & Marten are fully vetted, neutered & vaccinated.  They are fostered in Greensboro so prospective adopters will need to travel there.  Their adoption fee is $350 ##2110658##
