Story
Pua is the definition of a Velcro dog; he truly loves being with his people and thrives on companionship. He’s a loyal, affectionate boy who wants nothing more than to be near you, whether thats relaxing at home or just following you from room to room. Due to the recent passing of my husband, I unfortunately donthave the time or emotional energy to give Pua the attention and enrichment he deserves. This decision is being made out of love, with the hope of finding him a home where he can continue to feel secure, loved, and included. Pua is fully house-trained and does very well being crated when we are away. He is calm and comfortable in his crate and has no issues with it. He does have a sensitive stomach, but since switching him to a grain-free diet, he has done wonderfully and we have not experienced any further issues.

Story
This sweet girl has been by my side for 11 years. I got her while I was in college, and since then, she has been with me through so many different chapters, changes, and milestones in my life. She has truly been more than just a dog — she has been family and a constant companion for a huge part of my adult life. She is a Lab/Terrier mix with a happy, loving personality. Even at 11 years old, she still has plenty of energy, is in great health, and loves being around people. She has always gotten along well with just about everyone she meets and was even once an emotional support dog at a daycare, where she was surrounded by children and lots of activity. Unfortunately, life has brought me through several transitions, and I am currently going through another major change that has made it difficult for me to continue giving her the time, attention, and stability she deserves. Making the decision to rehome her has not been easy at all, especially after having her for so many years.

Story
This is Leah Joyce Banks, my first dog. Unfortunately I'm moving and can't give her the necessary time and attention she needs anymore. She is playful, excited, and a very loving dog. Once she gets to know you, she is very attached. I just want her to be in a loving home which will be able to give her time and attention.

Story
After some major life changes and much deliberation, I have made the difficult decision to rehome my dog, Kane. I adopted him as a stray from a local shelter. He is a roughly 100lb goofball with eyes that can pierce your soul! Dog, cat, and human friendly (may be shy around men on first encounter). He has some separation anxiety, so he needs someone that can give him that extra effort. At the end of the day, he just wants to snuggle and be by his person. Car rides with full face flapping in the wind are also a must. He is the sweetest dog, and I really hope to find him a suitable home where he gets exactly what he needs.

Story
Luna is a beautiful, energetic Husky with a big personality and an even bigger love for her family. She is affectionate, playful, curious, and extremely loyal—so loyal that she often follows me from room to room and wants to be right in the middle of whatever I’m doing! Luna loves attention, activity, and being close to the people she loves. Although her energy and constant shadowing can sometimes make cooking and cleaning a little challenging, her sweet temperament and loving nature make her a wonderful family dog. She brings lots of fun, laughter, companionship, and Husky personality into our home.

Story
Hello! Moose is 8 years old. We adopted him from the Durham county shelter 6 years ago. He is microchipped and neutered. Moose is a big dog, about 100 lbs. He is a pyrenees labrador mix. He is very gentle with children. He has been around since my eldest child was 2, she's 8 now. And around our youngest since she was a baby. Our toddler hugs him, leans on him and he loves it! Moose is good with other dogs but he gets very excited and barky when he first sees another dog. Once he gets close to the other dog he will sniff them and want to play. Moose is a very chill dog who likes long walks at least 2 walks -morning/evening. Unfortunately we are moving and having another child and cannot keep him. It is very sad for our family but we want the best quality of life for him and feel like he isn't getting that at the moment. We would love him to have more outdoor and park time. And to continue getting the love he deserves. If that's you, consider adopting Moose!
