Story
One and half yr old intact male who is loving and in need of his forever home. He is house and crate trained, lives with sisters and mom and dad. He has learned to walk on a leash, when happy his whole back end shakes. Unfortunately we are unable to continue to provide the love and care he needs, due to landlord restrictions we are sadly forced to rehome our 3 dogs.

Story
Elektra was born January 11, 2019, the smallest of her 10 brothers and sisters. From the moment we met, she was full of boundless energy, chasing after squeaky toys, going on walks, meeting her neighbors and so much chewing. Despite her boundless energy, Elektra is a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and enjoy an afternoon nap with her humans, her favorite spot being on top of you, of course! Elektra grew up as an only child until the day her pawrents met which meant she had 2 new fur brothers whom she wasnt so sure about. Elektra struggles with anxiety but takes medication as prescribed by her behaviorist to help ease her worries. In addition to medication, a regular walk routine and stimulation activities such as a lick mat, a bully stick, or the FIND IT game help regulate her emotions. Elektra is anxious about pets inside and outside of the home and has reactive tendencies which her pawrents are helping her work through. Elektra is incredibly smart and highly motivated by food.

Harley

Bichon Frise Mutt

Male, Senior
Durham, NC
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Harley is 14 1/2 years old. We have had him the whole time. He is quite loyal and enjoys “daddy time” nightly while I’m watching TV. He enjoys sitting outside in the sun, but he’s mostly an inside the house kind of guy. He does have a younger brother named Seamus who will be 13 this summer. They play together at times and rarely have I seen them actually fight. Ideally, it would be nice to keep them together but taking on 2 dogs would be difficult. I believe that both dogs would do fine on their own. Both dogs see the veterinarian regularly and are up todate with shot and they also get their monthly medications.

Story
Bowie is a gem! He was with a family for 1 year until they had to rehome him. We took him on as a foster to find a forever family for him! He is a year old and has lots of energy to play. He loves a daily walk (or 2!) He also will be fine cuddling you on the couch and relaxing. He is a smart pup and catches on quick, although he is reaching his teenager phase and can be quite mischievous, but redirects well. He knows commands like "sit" "lay down" "stay" and "bed". He is clingy. Which is a trait of the poodle breed. He needs to either be with a big family that he can spread the love and not be alone for too long throughout the day or with someone who is work from home. He LOVES his people and will be sad when you go but he is crate trained. He is used to getting groomed and also is good on leash. Any questions feel free to ask!

Story
Shadow is a playful and sweet boy who loves to run but needs a bit of discipline and training. We are looking to find him a healthy, happy, and an energetic parent. A family that will treat him like a part of their own family and keep him indoors and not chained outside. He loves to eat and hasn’t had too much human or dog interaction but will learn with a good parent. Only reason we are trying to place him in a new home is because we just had a baby and our home is small so it’s really difficult to give him time and proper space also we feel as if we can’t give him what he deserves. We love Shadow and he is a joy to have but ultimately want what’s best for him.
