Story

This is my sweet baby girl Macy. She is almost three years old, although she still acts like a puppy. She has so much love to give and gets so excited meeting new people she'll knock her own self over. She has cute little freckles on her muzzle and an eiffel tower on her scruff. She loves going on hikes, chasing anything that moves, chewing on toys, and cuddling in the bed. She hates baths, extreme temperatures, and fire alarms. I found Macy a couple years ago in my friend's parking lot. We asked around to see if she belonged to anyone, scanned her for a chip, put up signs, but no one claimed her. I took her in as a foster and very quickly fell in love with her. She has been the best thing to ever come into my life. Unfortunately, due to medical complications that have come up for me, I am no longer able to take care of her in the way that she deserves. I want to make sure that she doesn't end up in a shelter, or worse, euthanized. I need my girl to go to someone loving and caring.

Female, Young

Clayton, NC

Good with kids, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My family and I rescued Stella in mid-November after she was found on the side of a road after being hit by a car. Since then, she underwent a surgical procedure to repair her dislocated hip. I am happy to report that the procedure was successful and she has been rehabbing successfully ever since. Now that she is in good health, we are looking for a forever home for this sweet girl. Stella is a very sweet 1-2 year old German Shepherd mix and she loves to play fetch. She is extremely loyal and loves to play with our 5-year old granddaughter. She is completely potty trained and she knows basic commands. She has also received all vaccines/boosters and was microchipped. Stella is located in the Clayton area if you would like to meet her.

Story

This is Max, he’s a 10 year old lab mix that we were dog sitting and the homeowner didn’t come back. We have too many animals. He’s amazing, house broken, very loving, loves to go after a ball. Took some warming up to our dog but he eventually got it. Loves walks or just laying around. Listens really well. I can provide a bag of food, dog bed and bowl with leash. He doesn’t need to much attention but will take all the love. Please consider him to be a part of your home 💜. He’s got many years left to bring joy to another family.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Her name is Stormi. I rescued her 3 months ago. She is staffy mix but, I believe she may have some beagle in her. Born April 27.2025 ( according to the previous owner. ) She does okay with other dogs but not all. Cats never been around. Kids shes good with. Shes very loving and cuddly. She prefers women over men, thinking maybe it had something to do with the previous family as well bcuz she has her on and off days with my husband. She has not been spayed and I believe she hasnt had any shots as well. A good fit might be someone that works from home or can travel with her as she doesn’t do well alone.
