Story
This precious dog named MAXY was rescued by our team on the day before he was set to be euthanized in a rural TN shelter. Maxy has a heart of gold and we're so glad we saved his life. He is in a very short term foster home and needs a new long term foster or adopter immediately. During his short time at the shelter, MAXY became a staff favorite and they lobbied to get him out of the building. He is a happy boy, loves people and other dogs and is learning the ropes of being in a home. If you're looking for an easy-going buddy to spend time with, please text/call Julie asap 919 624 0059

Story
Oca needs a family! One of the local shelters we pull from shared reports of Oca roaming a Greensboro neighborhood near a local college campus for several days. Neighbors said he was happy to accept treats from anyone who offered, but he’d quickly dart away if they tried to touch him. At just 7 months old, his limited experience made him shy around people - but time spent playing with other dogs has helped him blossom! He’s now running and playing when initially he wouldn’t. He’s being the silly puppy he couldn’t be on the streets…like playing with your shoelaces, tossing toys in the air and awing you when he wants attention or another treat! Oca is 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

Story
Little miss Lisa is one of the most adorable dogs we've pulled into rescue this year! We rescued this girl from euthanasia on her last day. She came in with 9 other puppies and was the last one left on the floor that wasn't spoken for. A short term foster spoke up for her, but she needs a forever home (or longer term foster family). Lisa is extremely happy and adores people and other dogs. She's full of life and likes to explore. She's been a good little camper in the home, learning all the house manners etc. Her foster mom reported that she gets very excited and likes to do the cutest zoomies in the yard and then she settles right back down. The shelter listed her as 2 years old, but I believe she is younger than that. She is fully vaccinated and ready to find her forever home. If interested in this girl, please contact Julie at 919 624 0059

Story
Larry has had a rough start to his life. Animal Control was called to pick him (and his two brothers) up from his previous home when his owners moved and left them behind. The 3 pups were found sitting in a crate in the yard with no food or water. These pups were so friendly and eager to greet the AC officer, they were really just happy to be alive and that someone found them. Even being at the shelter was sadly better than being in a crate on an abandoned property. All three are very friendly pups and love people. They are happy and affectionate little pups. Larry is 1.5 years old, 30 lbs, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative. We will post Moe separately. Their other brother Curly was taken in by another rescue group. If you are interested in making sweet Larry part of your family, please call or text Julie on 919 624 0059.
