Story
Hi My Name is Shepard! My current family took me in 2 years ago when I had no place else to go. They have given me love, safety, health care, friends, family in addition to a good home. My family recently welcomed a baby into the home which makes me fearful, as I do much better with adults and friendly dogs. I also can be fearful when lots of people are around because I worry they don't see me when they walk past me. I love homes that are calm and with adults who like to go for walks outside and don't mind my company around the house.

Cosmos loves to sit on laps and cuddle, go on walks and sleep. He is content in his kennel when we are out of the house. Our son has troubles with pet allergies and we travel often so we feel there may be a better home for him with another loving family.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bruno is a sweet loving boy who needs a home with a large area for him to play and maybe a few kids. He is unaware of his size and can sometimes scare smaller dogs with his size + energy, but he is not aggressive AT ALL. Small children and toddlers may get unintentionally hurt pr knocked over by his energetic love… so older kids are probably best. He is very smart and eager to please, so he is very trainable. I have done my best but I’m too busy to give him the proper training he needs and I don’t have the space to keep him. He was supposed to be a foster that I’ve had for 4 years now. He is a sweetheart and I love him, I just can’t afford him nor do I have the room for all his energy.

Story
BRANDI is ready for her forever home! She is about 72LBs, sweet and friendly once she warms up and feels comfortable. She is selective with dogs and prefers male dogs. We think she would do best in a home with just one adult or with a couple. Brandi is a great dog, but needs some training and exercise, and a safe place to call her own. Decompression time and a routine is really going to help this girl shine. She will make a great companion for someone with Rottie experience. Brandi is a 3 year old with a docked tail.

At this time, due to the size of our rescue, adoptions are limited to NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, VIRGINIA and +/-6 hours from Raleigh, NC.
