Story
Bailey was taken in as an emerg foster to help find her a new home away from her not-so-great start in life. She was delivered to my home on a Sunday morning to avoid being dropped off at a shelter the next morning. My 82yo mom took to Bailey and they bonded instantly. Bailey was so gentle, when walking with my mother (and her walker) and after seeing the companionship and joy she brought my mom I was unable to separate the two of them. Sadly, my mom recently passed a few months ago and I am now taking care of my elderly husband who has late-stage dementia and needs constant care and I cannot give Bailey the time she needs any longer. Ideal match would be a quiet, spacious home (for a happy tail wagger) with no other dogs, work from home preferable, or retired, but she is ok alone and does not have to be crated while away. She enjoys human proteins, some dry kibble, soft raw hide chews to keep her teeth fresh, walks on a leash, car rides, and runs in the backyard. @ 70# --DOB 5/5/21.

Story
Princess is an adorable female black-and-white Mountain Cur/Plott Hound mix born about August 2025. Sweet as can be, crate trained, working on leash and house training. Her black and white markings are lovely. Princess has two cherry eyes which are only cosmetic and do not affect her vision. They can be left as is, or this is an easy fix while getting spayed. She has started puppy health care with vaccinations, de-worming and everything needed. Financial assistance is available when it’s time to spay. Adoption fee 50.  This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina.     Optional transport is weekly.  After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.November 12, 2025, 10:55 am

Story
Rico is about 60 pounds, 6 years old and he loves to cuddle, play, he is the most sweet loving dog I have ever met. I have only been with Rico for about two years, I took him in because his previous owner was unable to care for him. A decision I do not regret at all, however I do work 6 days a week. I unfortunately don’t have enough time for Rico. He is such a good boy and I know whoever ends up with him will absolutely love him. He is part pit so he does have lots of energy! He is great with kids, loves people so much, no trauma, great with big dogs/ cats. Not a huge fan of small dogs! He is wonderful but needs a bigger home and someone with plenty of time. Rico gets very excited and barks and jumps on everyone and pulls on the leash a bit but has never been aggressive towards anyone! People have been intimidated by him but once you let him sniff and jump on you he will give you nothing but kisses and love. Please reach out if interested!
