Story
Biggie was picked up as a skinny stray and now is a 67-pound cuddlebug looking for a home. Here are the top reasons you should adopt Biggie: - He's trainable. Biggie is housebroken, knows how to sit and is learning how to ring a bell to let us know when he needs to go outside. - He's affectionate. He loves to be with people and play with other dogs. He would do very well in a home with a friend to play with. He is docile and not aggressive when he meets new dogs. - It's funny to watch him run because he's big, stocky and as aerodynamic as a baked potato. But he's having a good time. - He's a pretty good leash walker. He does have a tendency to pull if he sees something interesting, but otherwise he walks at your pace and is happy to go where you guide him. He's smart enough to improve with training. We love Biggie and would have kept him ourselves except he's too energetic for our dog. Biggie is up to date on his shots, and his bloodwork and a urine sample show no health problems.

Story
I adopted Tanner from the Wake County animal shelter when he was 2 years old. He just turned 8 years old this year but you wouldn't know it. He still gets the zoomies and sprints around the yard at full speed until he tires and loves playing tug of war with a rope. When I take him to the dog park people ask me how old he is thinking he's a puppy and are startled when I tell them he's a senior. He gets along great with other dogs, loves kids and people, and never barks inside the house (he does bark outside though). Tanner is a very low maintenance pup. I've never had to put him in a crate, He doesn't chew up furniture or belongings and can hold his pee all day until I get back from work. He's handsome, he's always been healthy, his coat is soft and he does't smell bad like some other dogs. Unfortunately my girlfriend is severely allergic to dogs and we can't live together until Tanner finds a new home, otherwise I would spend many more years with this happy pup.

Mon’et is a sweet girl. She is an American Bully, not an American Pitbull Terrier. I hate to let her go but things are getting very busy around here! Mon’et has a lot of energy and loves attention! She is very obedient and with some good training can be a great companion dog among other things such as a service dog, emotional support, and therapy! If she is the dog for you please don’t hesitate to call, text, or email! Thank you Email: xxxx@xxxx.x Phone: (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 10/21/2018Ain't nothing but a hound dog.... oh and some shepherd they think, basically a heinz 57 with lots of great traits. I love to be with my people and would be great with older folks, a young couple or a family with lots of kids!   I do great with people, but am not so fond of sharing my people with other dogs.  I would love a fenced in yard so we can play fetch and I can get in some afternoon naps in the sun.  At 5 years old, I am past the chewing stage, and have great house manners and know basic commands.  Are you ready for a forever friend to watch TV with, hang out in the yard or garden with, and just be best buddies?  (CM) Up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered.  Adoption Fee:  $100.00        Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 5:48 pm
