Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Frederick is our sweet little old man. He was found as a stray and landed in a shelter. We rescued him soon after. He was a shelter favorite and needed a dental asap. He also had some skin issues but now his skin has cleared up and he is flea free. He immediately blended in with his foster family of dogs and new humans. He loves to play with his ball and sunbathe on the deck. He is definitely a lap dog but he does love his special chair. Good with all dogs and cats, neutered and heartworm negative.

Story
Meet Cook Out — your adventure-loving sidekick! Cook Out is a 3-year-old Dachshund/Beagle mix with a big personality packed into a perfect 20-pound frame. He was found hanging out in a Quality Inn parking lot (clearly waiting for his forever family) and is now ready to trade motel life for a cozy home of his own. This little guy loves to play and would thrive in a dog-savvy home with another higher-energy dog who’s ready to be his built-in best friend. Cook Out is smart, enthusiastic, and always up for fun—whether that’s a game of chase, a car ride, or heading out on a new adventure. He’d make an awesome hiking partner and will happily hop in the car to go wherever the day takes you. Cook Out does have a few quirks that make him extra special. He has some resource guarding tendencies (he likes the guard the lap of the individual he is snuggling at the time), so he’s looking for a home experienced with mild behavior challenges. The good news? He comes with free training in the Greensboro area to help set everyone up for success—Cook Out included! In the home, Cook Out is a rockstar: Crate trained Leash trained Great with cats Super friendly and polite when out and about If you’re looking for a wicked smart, playful, and loyal companion—and you enjoy working with a dog who will keep you on your toes—Cook Out might just be your perfect match. Ready to bring home a pup with personality, brains, and a love for adventure? Cook Out is waiting to meet you!  ##2547111##

Story
Tanner Chiweenie9 years (ish)12 pounds Fostered in Raleigh area  Tanner is a 9-year-old male Chiweenie with a heart of gold and a serious love for laps. Found as a stray, he’s clearly decided that the best place to be is right next to his people—preferably touching at all times. Everyone who meets this little dude instantly falls in love with his sweet personality. He is happy all the time, but the absolute happiest when with his people.  This affectionate boy loves being petted and will happily soak up all the attention you can offer. He enjoys daily walks, is great on a leash, and makes an excellent companion for both gentle adventures and cozy couch days. Tanner would be fine with a working family and is content relaxing while his people are away, as long as he gets his cuddle time when they’re home. Tanner would do best in a quiet home and is not a good fit for families with children under 8, as he prefers calm surroundings . He is not suited for apartment living due to his security guard tendancies, especially Amazon drivers. He would be perfectly happy as an only dog, but can also live with the right calm, lower-energy canine companion. We have not tested him with cats, but am happy to cat test. Tanner is crate trained and housetrained - he will even ask to go outside. And if there is an open lap in the house, this boy plops himself right into it.  Dog-wise, Tanner does well with other small and medium dogs who are calm or lower energy. He prefers a relaxed crowd and isn’t a fan of high-energy dogs who don’t respect his chill vibe. Tanner is neutered, UTD, heartworm negative and microchipped. Tanner has had an extensive dental and has no teeth left, but don’t let that fool you—it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He eats well and continues to enjoy life to the fullest. He also has a grade 3 heart murmur and has had an echocardiogram, which showed that he does not currently need medication—just routine monitoring. And yes, his ears are unique - he had vasculitis in the past on his ears, but it is not active and just needs to be monitored.  Tanner is fostered in Raleigh, NC and his new family will need to drive to adopt him, no transports. We prefer families in NC, VA, SC, eastern TN, northern GA, WV and DC area. To get the process started of adopting this fabulous dog, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/application.  If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, low-key companion who will stick by your side, Tanner might just be your perfect match. ##2634089##

FritzDouble Dapple DachshundFostered in Sanford3 years old17 pounds Short list: Friendly, velcro dog, Good with kids over 8, limited sight, limited hearing, could be only dog, working on housetraining, cannot do stairs, no apartments, on slow kill treatment for heartworms Fritz is one of the happiest, most affectionate little guys we’ve ever met. Found wandering in eastern NC, this special double dapple boy hasn’t let his rough start—or his disabilities—dim his joy for life. Because he’s a double dapple, Fritz has limited vision and hearing, which just means he experiences the world a little differently… and bonds very deeply with his people. He doesn’t just follow you — he super-glues himself to you. If he can’t find you, he’ll bark to let you know (which is why apartments and condos won’t work). Once reunited, he’ll immediately melt into your lap and fall asleep. Cold nights? Loneliness? Not in 2026.Fritz sleeps through the night, loves the big bed, and is an A+ snuggle partner who never steals the covers. Despite his vision challenges, Fritz enjoys walks, plays with other dogs, and has even discovered toys. However, Fritz can resource guard, especially over his person. He will need to be an only dog or with a family who can manage the resource guarding. He’ll need a stair-free home (or one where stairs can be blocked off and he can be carried), and a laid-back dog pack that’s welcoming and gentle. H Potty training is a work in progress — he does well on a schedule and uses both outside time and pee pads. Pro tip: if Fritz barks “out of nowhere,” he’s probably politely asking to go potty. Fritz is neutered and has had a dental cleaning. He’s UTD, microchipped, and had bloodwork. Because he is heartworm positive, we have started him on the slowkill treatment for heartworms and the rescue will pay for it until he tests negative. Fritz is looking for a homebody or work-from-home family who wants a loyal companion, understands his special needs, and is ready to start the New Year with a dog who will love them with his whole heart. Make 2026 the year you find your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your best friend. Fritz is ready for his new life!  ##2603793##
