Story
Billy is a very sweet 1 1/2 year old pit bull mix. He knows some commands, is house trained and up-to-date on his shots. He loves to snuggle and play with people he knows but suffers from extreme anxiety with any new people and other dogs. This presents as loud barking, drooling, and cowering. For this reason he struggles greatly on walks. He requires medication to visit the vet. He is allergic to chicken and grass pollen and takes Prozac and Zyrtec daily. He loves kids but likely needs a home with older children only due to his size and goofy, playful nature. He needs an experienced adopter who is able to work patiently with a very anxious dog.

Story
Pepper is a delightful, loving, and loyal 6 year old female standard poodle. We adopted her at 6 weeks from her breeder as our family is allergic to dander. She is intelligent, food-motivated, and loves to be active and challenged. She would do very well in a house without kids, preferably a large yard without trees, and an experienced dog parent. She might be happy with another dog(s), but unsure. She does great in doggy parks and at boarding. She loves to play fetch, loves her squeaky toys and her treats!

Bodhi

French Bulldog

Chapel Hill, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Bodhi is a 1-year-old French Bulldog with a big personality! He is affectionate, playful, silly, and loves being with his people. He is a sweet dog who bonds closely with his family and has plenty of energy and personality. Bodhi does well with other dogs but is not a good fit for a home with children. He can be nervous around new people and needs a patient home that will give him time to adjust and continue working on training and socialization. He is still young and has some puppy behaviors, including nipping when overly excited, so a home experienced with French Bulldogs or young dogs would be ideal. We are looking for a loving, patient home where Bodhi can get the structure, attention, and one-on-one time he needs to thrive. This is a very difficult decision because he is loved, but we want to find the right home for him long-term.

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bronson is a very sweet, loving, confident, affectionate 35lb mixed breed that is potty trained, neutered, up to date on vaccines, heart worm negative, and the last two months of his labwork are healthy. He needs a home with no other pets and no children, ideally a fenced yard, and someone who could work with a trainer to improve his reactivity.Current issues: resource guarding, leash aggressive, and a runner (darting out the front door). He has been aggressive with bigger dogs but not smaller dogs or cats. He recently attacked the neighbor's dog as they were walking her on leash, which is new behavior since the stress of moving house. He was previously fine off leash and at dog parks. He's bared his teeth/growled recently at the kids he lives with. ***He has not, however, ever bitten any humans.***He is currently taking sertraline and clonidine, but they are not seeming to help with the reactivity.He loves to sleep at your feet and nudge your belly. Please help us keep him safe.

Dolly

American Pit Bull Terrier Husky

Female, Young
Chapel Hill, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Dolly is a 2 yr old pit mix, sweet as can be, with a heaping helping of separation anxiety and big blue eyes. Needs TLC and someone who can be home with her (or has capacity to crate train her). I found her by the side of the road with no ID or chip, and no one has claimed her. I have initiated vet care, so she has her rabies and distemper shot, has been treated for fleas, and started heartworm prevention. Full vet report available for adopter. Good on leash, great with meeting new humans, not assessed with other dogs. Would not recommend with cats. Not crate trained and is anxious with confinement in small places. Very loving and cuddly!

Story
Poppy is a gentle and affectionate 3 hear old. Although a little shy at first, she is a very friendly dog who enjoys being around people and is very well-behaved. Poppy loves to spend her days lounging on the couch and receiving belly rubs, but she also likes to play and have fun. She would make a great addition to a family and would be a wonderful companion. Poppy gets along well with other dogs. Her shelter foster said she loved her kids but we were not told what age the kids are. Poppy weighed 64 pounds at her vet visit a month ago and needed to gain a few pounds. She is heartworm negative, current on vaccines and spayed. Poppy is a lovely dog and anyone would be lucky to have her in their lives. If you are interested in adopting Poppy, please email us with any questions and complete an application! She is fostered in southwest Virginia. *** ADOPTION DETAILS: Each dog is spayed, neutered, (unless medically on hold or too young) up to date on shots, dewormed, and microchipped.
