Story
Rehoming my dog, Deano. He is a 5 year old sharpei mix. Great with other large dogs, cannot be around children. He is very sweet and playful but can become aggressive. I am not equipped to handle this type of dog. He would do well with someone who has the time and resources to work with him.

Story
Lucy is a sweet, loyal, energetic young girl who loves to play fetch and tug-of-war. She loves snuggles and to be close to people constantly. Her tail is always wagging if you look at her or say anything even in her direction. She has been wonderful to have these past few years. Unfortunately she has shown territorial aggression to now 2 of our dogs resulting in trips to the emergency vet. We put her through rigorous training after the first incident and thought we were being careful enough but had another incident with another dog whom she’s been around since she was a puppy. She has never shown any aggression signs toward people, only dogs so we are hoping to find the perfect person or family who can give her the one-on-one attention she deserves. We want her to have the best chance at life and are willing to help in any way possible. We love her, but cannot continue to risk our other dogs safety and deal with the stress of keeping them separate constantly in a small house with kids.

Story
Amazing dog, He was not neutered and we will help with payments for that process if you wish too. We recently moved into a 1 bedroom apartment and have another dog that he gets along with. The current apartment is to small for him and we need someone who can accommodate for that and love him. He works great with children and other pets. I run with him and walk him a lot. He loves going out and being lazy at the same time! He is very energetic and loves to play (don't worry he knows when to not to play to rough). I will warn you he is a cuddle-bug! if you sit he will lay on you for comfort and companionship. great starter dog for kids in a medium house. he is a medium size dog and weighs 45 pounds. He also has his vaccines up to date but are expiring in December and will help with vaccine costs. He comes with his own food, bowls, toy, bed, and kennel. Like I said great dog, just needs a home that can be big enough for him and have time for him. No adoption fee!

Story
Meet Silas! Wilmington, NC Silas is a 2-year-old Lab who is the definition of a Velcro dog; affectionate, loyal, and happiest right by your side. He bonds deeply and is incredibly sweet once he feels safe and knows you. He is: 100% potty trained Non-destructive and does not need a crate in the home Good on a leash overall Up to date on all vaccines and vet care, neutered Silas does best in a calm, low-traffic home. He cannot live in an apartment complex and needs a setting where he will not be exposed to unfamiliar dogs or a steady stream of new people. He will be reactive toward new dogs and needs to be the only pet. He requires: Prescription food to prevent recurrence of bladder crystals Prozac for anxiety (which he is already established on and does well with) With the right person; someone patient, dog-savvy, and able to offer a predictable environment , Silas will be an incredibly devoted companion.

Story
LOOKING FOR ADOPTION: Khan is a 1 y/o American pitbull terrier (neutered; born 1/1/2025). He is an extremely sweet dog, and craves human affection. He enjoys walks and goofing around with other dogs, as well as belly-rubs. He is also a big cuddler. Since a young puppy, Khan has received professional obedience training, and was fully house trained from pretty early on. He is up to date on necessary vet recommendations, and is a healthy, athletic dog. The perfect home for Khan would be one that has the time to play with him (i.e. field, dog park) most every day without any stress on one's schedule. I am entering a work situation where I will be unable to care for him as much as he needs, and there are additional family matters that will consume a majority of my free-time. Because of this, I just want to find him a good home. Please contact if interested. Thank you.
