Story
Max was in an abusive relationship with someone that wanted him to be a fighting dog. Fortunately, he is the sweetest most loving boy and is far from any type of meaness. Max is quiet and calm, he is very loving and just likes to be lazy. He wants to please his owner and will follow and obey. I had a friend reach out and tell me he was going to be taken to the pound and needed to get out of his current situation so I immediately picked him up. He has been great in my house except for an interaction with the cat. He should not be in a house with cats as he gets overly excited and rough with them. Max needs a loving home, he does not require a ton of attention just love.

Story
Meet Feller — a shy guy with a heart of gold! Feller may take a little time to warm up, but once he knows you, he is an absolute sweetheart. He came from a home where he was kept outdoors and never left the property, so the big wide world is still pretty new to him. Because of that, Feller is continuing to build his confidence and social skills with both people and other dogs—and he’s already making wonderful progress! Feller would do best in a quiet, low-traffic home environment where he can feel safe, decompress, and build trust at his own pace. So far, he has done well with calm, respectful dogs who give him space and don’t play too rough. With people, he appreciates patience and kindness, and it’s been amazing to see how much he’s opened up in just a few short days. When he trusts you, his gentle and loving personality truly shines. Feller is crate trained, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He’s looking for a loving home that will give him the time, understanding, and calm environment he needs to keep blossoming into the confident companion we know he can be. Want to meet Feller and fall in love with his sweet self? Submit a no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com, and one of our adoption coaches will reach out to tell you all about him!

Story
If brains, heart, and potential were awards, Bubba would be taking home trophies already! This handsome Lab Mix is super smart—and we mean genius-level impressive. Within just two days, Bubba mastered sit, down, watch, place, and wait. Yep… two days. Bubba is crate trained, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered, so he’s already got the responsible-adult stuff covered. He came from a hoarding property where he lived outdoors, and because of that, he’s still learning the finer points of dog-to-dog play. So far, he’s done great with medium to large dogs, especially those who are calm and respectful. What Bubba needs now is simple: patience, kindness, and quality time. Give him that, and you’ll be rewarded with an incredibly loyal, eager-to-learn companion who is going to make an amazing dog for the right family. He’s the kind of pup who just wants to belong—and once he does, he’ll shine. Ready to meet Bubba and fall in love? Submit your no-obligation adoption application at: www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com. One of our adoption coaches will reach out to tell you even more about how awesome Bubba truly is! Follow us on Facebook @AlmostHomeDogRescueNC for updates on Bubba and other adoptable pups. Bubba's future is bright—could it be with you?

Story
Warning: High levels of cuteness ahead! Frankie and Cooper are officially accepting applications for a new manager of their very exclusive fan club. Frankie (pictured on right) is a 9 year old, 11.8 pound Yorkie, Dachshund, and Chihuahua Mix who believes walks are one of life’s greatest joys. She struts nicely on a leash, greets the world with confidence, and is always ready to hop into your lap for cuddle duty. Frankie is friendly, outgoing, and very serious about quality snuggle time. Cooper (pictured on left) is a 10 year old, 10.2 pound purebred (we believe) Yorkie who prefers to observe the world before fully participating. He is a bit shy at first, but food is the fastest way to his heart. Cooper loves being outside, keeping an eye on squirrels, and enjoying the fresh air. Once he trusts you, he is a loyal little shadow. These two are a bonded pair and take their partnership seriously. They enjoy cozy naps, especially when tucked under blankets together. They are house trained, vaccinated, altered, and are looking for a calm home with no other dogs. A fenced yard is required so Cooper can patrol for squirrels while Frankie supervises. They have not been around small children and would do best in a quieter home with someone active enough to take them on daily walks. If your life is missing double the love and double the charm, Frankie and Cooper are ready to fill that space. Interested in adopting these two? Submit your no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com Follow us on Facebook @AlmostHomeDogRescueNC for more updates on Frankie, Cooper, and other adoptable pups!

Story
Meet Dixie — the bravest softie you’ll ever root for. Dixie is a 1-year-old, 35 lb Lab Mix with the gentlest eyes and the kind of story that sticks with you. Her first year of life was spent in a hoarding situation, kept outdoors and away from all the comforts of home. No walks, no visitors, no normal puppy experiences. Just the same property with little human interaction, day after day. Because of that, Dixie came into rescue with understandable fears and a lot of unanswered questions about humans and life beyond what she knew. And yet… look at her now. Since being rescued, Dixie has been quietly and courageously learning what it means to be safe. She’s discovered toys (turns out they’re pretty amazing), shown sweet interest in playing with other dogs, and (most importantly) learned that human affection can be real, gentle, and trustworthy. Watching her confidence grow is nothing short of magical. Dixie thrives with another calm, social dog who can show her the ropes and reassure her that the world isn’t such a scary place. She takes cues beautifully and finds comfort in having a steady canine friend by her side. A calm, quiet home and neighborhood and securely fenced yard is a must for Dixie — it allows her to go potty peacefully and continue building trust at her own pace without fear. She’s crate trained (picked it up almost instantly, smart girl!), up to date on vaccinations, and truly trying her absolute best every single day. Dixie isn’t a “hit the ground running” dog — she’s a “watch me bloom” dog. The kind that will make you proud over milestones others might overlook. The kind that will form a deep, unshakeable bond with the person who gives her patience, kindness, and time. If you’re someone with patience, a gentle heart, and the desire to be part of a life-changing journey, Dixie might just be your girl. Are you ready to continue Dixie’s journey? Submit a no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com, and an adoption coach will reach out to share even more of Dixie’s incredible progress. Follow us on Facebook @AlmostHomeDogRescueNC for updates on Dixie and other adoptable pups — but fair warning: once you see her, it’s really hard not to fall in love.

Story
Jude is only 4 months old, but his heart already carries a story that could bring you to tears—and then make you believe in miracles all over again. He came from a severe hoarding situation, where love, care, and even food were scarce. When Jude was rescued, he was emaciated and dehydrated, weighing just 10 pounds. He was so weak he could barely walk. Life hadn’t been kind to him yet… but Jude never let that dim his gentle spirit. Fast forward a short time, and wow—what a transformation! Jude is thriving. He’s gaining weight quickly, soaking up affection like it’s his full-time job, and discovering how wonderful the world can be when you’re finally safe and have a full belly. He loves curling up with his foster parents and 4-legged siblings, exploring the outdoors with curiosity and bravery, and (most importantly) learning that humans can be trusted. Jude is a Heeler Mix (Blue Heeler dad, Mixed Breed mama – photos of parents are available) and somehow manages to be 100% pure sweetness. He’s incredibly smart and curious, already crate trained and doing fantastic with his basic training and leash work. Jude is very treat motivated—which makes training a breeze—and his all-time favorite reward? The whipped cream can (yes, really!). When he’s not learning new things, Jude is all about the cuddles. He adores belly rubs, snuggles, being held, and one of his absolute favorite activities is curling up in one of his cozy beds, sweater on, taking the kind of peaceful nap that only comes when you finally feel secure. In just over a week, he’s started to play, show off his personality, and even get the zoomies! This little guy has come so far in such a short time, and he’s just getting started. Jude is ready for a forever family who will continue his journey—one filled with love, patience, positive training, cuddles, and all the happy moments he’s always deserved. Because of his age, breed mix, and enthusiasm for life, Jude will thrive with an active person who genuinely enjoys training and staying engaged with their dog. As a Heeler puppy who was born to herd and can be underfoot, a home with no small children or anyone with mobility challenges would be ideal. Jude is eager to learn, loves being involved in everything you’re doing, and will do best with adopters who can embrace his breed characteristics and energy, keeping him mentally and physically challenged and exercised. Ready to be part of Jude’s next chapter? Submit your no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com, and one of our adoption coaches will reach out to share even more adorable details about this very special boy. Follow us on Facebook @AlmostHomeDogRescueNC for updates on Jude and other adoptable pups! Jude survived his past. Now he’s ready to bloom in his future. Could that future be with you?
