Story
Fostered in Raleigh area4 (ish) years oldChiweenie11 poundsShort version: Takes time to warm up, very loyal, prefers to be an only dog (or with a super chill small dog), loves affection, housetrained, no apartments/condos, kids over 12 due to flight risk, on slow kill for heartworms, no catsShe came to us as a stray with a story only she knows, but one thing is clear — Mercury is absolutely worth the wait.She may take a little time to trust you, and that's okay. The first few days in her new home are likely to be rough. She's the kind of dog who needs to decide you're her person.But once she does? She is ride-or-die loyal in the most heartwarming way. We're talking full-on snuggle sessions, nose nudges demanding more pets, and a shadow who wants to be wherever you are. Mercury doesn't just want a home — she wants a forever bond.When she's comfortable, her personality shines. She loves to run, loves to play, and will absolutely let you know if something is amiss in the neighborhood (excellent watch dog, this one). But at the end of the day, she's curling up next to you — as close as physically possible, please and thank you.Mercury would thrive in a quieter home where she can decompress and truly settle in. She's fully housetrained and well-mannered. She'll need a single-family home and a family with children 12 and older, as she is a flight risk. So her new family will need to be careful of doors and double leash when on walks.She would prefer to be an only dog not because she's aggressive toward other dogs, she'd just prefer to skip the doggy socializing. If another pup gets in her face, she's not a fan. However, if the perfect home has a laid back older dog, we would be open to chatting to see if it would be match. She's also not a fan of cats so she needs a feline freeMercury is spayed, UTD on shots, and microchipped. She is heartworm positive and started on slow kill treatment. The rescue will pay for slow kill treatment until she tests negative. We are happy to explain the process and answer any questions.Her new family will need to drive to Raleigh to adopt - no transports. We prefer to adopt to families in NC, VA, SC, eastern TN, northern GA, DC area or WV. To get the process started of bringing this adorable gal home, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/applicationIf you're patient, gentle, and ready for a deeply devoted companion, Mercury might just be your perfect match. She's not looking for everyone — just her person. Could that be you? ##2703550##

Story
Jeffrie & BobbieBonded Pair (ONLY adopted together)4 years old & 6 years oldFostered in Raleigh area Short version: Sweet, good with dogs, friendly with new people, house trained, leash trained, good with kids 8 and over Your heart will melt when these boys look at you with their soulful and loving eyes. They landed in our arms when their family had to move due to finanical issues and could not take them along. These guys are the perfect compliment to each other. Bobbie (the dad) has a big personality and has a life goal of being a walmart greeter. He wants to meet everyone and instantly is their best friend. Jeffrie is a world class snuggler, but takes a minute to warm up and follows Bobbie’s lead. Both boys get alogn with other dogs – both big and small – but their first love each other. They follow each other, play together and snuggle togaher.  Bobbie & Jeffrie would be fine in a family with other dogs or as a ready made family. Give them a squeaky toy and they think you’ve just handed them a million bucks. They are housetrained and walk well on a leash. Because they bark for a bit once you leave the house before settling, they need a single family home. Bobbie and Jeffrie are UTD on shots, hw negative, neutred and had dentals. Bobbie had skin issues when he came into our rescue that have healed on medication and premium food. His new owner should be prepared that skin issues could arrise in the future. To get the process started of adopting these two handsome boys, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/application ##2191046##

Story
Bruno  Dachshund Mix  2 years old  18 pounds  Fostered in Lillington, NCAdoption fee is 350 Bruno is the perfect mix of sweet, silly, and lovable! Bruno landed in a high kill shelter last month when his owner could no longer care for him. And thankfully found his way to our arms.  This handsome little guy keeps his foster family laughing with his playful personality and impressive jumping skills. If there’s a table, bar stool, or countertop nearby, chances are Bruno has already figured out how to get there. He’s athletic, curious, and always ready for his next adventure. Bruno does well with other dogs when given a slow introduction and absolutely loves playing in the backyard with his foster brother and sister. His favorite activities include chasing his dog friends around and playing with balls until he’s completely worn out. Bruno is mostly housetrained, but his family should expect a few accidents during the transition. This boy is crate trained. At bedtime, Bruno settles quietly into his kennel and sleeps through the night without a peep. He is neutered, UTD on shots, microchipped and HW negative.  He’s still working on his leash manners and will need continued training, but he’s a smart boy who is eager to learn. Bruno would thrive with a family ready to embrace his goofy personality, keep him active, and appreciate his entertaining antics. One thing is certain — life with Bruno will never be boring!   ##2717048##

Story
Dexter10 years old13 poundsFostered in MebaneAdoption Fee is $200Meet Dexter—our very own Mr. Congeniality! If there were an award for “friendliest dog ever,” Dexter would win it paws down. This happy guy believes the whole world is here to be his friend, and his tail never stops wagging to prove it. He’s wonderful with other dogs, loves meeting new people, and brings joy wherever he goes.This boy was surrendered to us due to peeing in the house. We got him neutered and not surprisingly, he's now doing amazing. However, his new family should expect some accidents during the transition.Dexter is a playful pup at heart, so his future family should be ready to stock up on toys—the squeakier, the better! This boy is seriously toy obsessed. When playtime winds down, he’s all about being close to his people. Whether you’re relaxing at home or heading out for an adventure, Dexter wants to be right by your side. He’s also a fantastic car companion, always ready to ride along. Like to go for walks? This boy is all in and is great on a leash.At night, Dexter transforms into a champion snuggler who loves burrowing under the covers. Just don’t expect him to be your early-morning alarm buddy—this sweet boy prefers to ease into the day at his own pace.Dexter truly checks all the boxes for a loving, loyal companion. He’s not good with cats, but if you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate dog who will keep you smiling, Dexter might just be your perfect match.Dexter is UTD, neutered, HW negative, and had a dental procedure with many extractions. He will likely need another dental cleaning with extractions in a year.His new family will need to drive to Mebane to adopt him - no transports. We prefer families in NC, VA, SC, eastern TN, WV, DC area and northern GA. To get the adoption process started, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/applicationSqueaky toys? Check. Snuggles under the covers? Double check. Best friend for life? That’s Dexter. All he’s missing is you. ##2711637##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please be sure to click on Louis’s photo in order to learn all about the forever home he is seeking.Louie spent the beginning of his life living in a tent with his previous humans, another dog, and two cats.  He has decided that living in a home comes with great benefits, he adores a comfy bed and air conditioning and heat is awesome!  We've spent some time getting to know him- and what his best life looks like.  He's a well behaved fellow, and he adores his humans, so having a family who works from home would be best.  He's active, and he needs to loose a bit of weight to be at his healthiest- so a family who is active that can give him daily walks and keep him on a diet, is required.  This breed has many health and back issues if they are allowed to become overweight- so please be sure you can keep him on the right track, prior to applying.  Louie doesn't always potty on leash, so a fenced in yard is required (physical fencing, please).   Louie would love another playful dog in the home, he adores the companionship of both dogs and cats.  All children should be 10 years of age, or older.  He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is up to date on preventative medications.  All he needs now is to find his forever family.  If you meet Louie's needs, please apply.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2026, 3:57 pm
