Clayton, NC

Story

This is Boba.🧋 To my knowledge she is a German Shepherd with Pitbull mix. She is around 7 months old and is around 35-40 pounds. Boba lived outside in the hot and freezing weather. I decided to take her in due to her living situation and the past owners didn’t take care of her. Boba is super sweet but takes time for her to get comfortable with you. Unsure if she is comfortable with other dogs or cats. My dogs aren’t to fond of her so unsure if she can stay with me but I had to at least give her a comfortable shelter for a few days or weeks

Coonhound

Clayton, NC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Murphy was an owner surrender to the animal shelter in Washington, North Carolina. His previous owner stated he lost his job and could no longer provide for him. He was due to be put down by the shelter when Noah’s Arc pet rescue in Greenville, North Carolina intervened. I adopted him from them at the beginning of October 2025. After getting him home, I learned he has severe separation anxiety that can become destructive. He is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations, has been micro chipped, and is currently on Prozac and gabapentin. He is a sweet boy who deserves a better home than I can currently give him. I have been working with him for the past three months. He is wonderful on walks, at the dog park with other dogs, and with my grandchildren. I generally do not put out personal information however I am returning to work on Monday. I work 13 hour days and believe Murphy needs more attention than my schedule will allow. Please only reach out if dedicated and serious.

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.

Sunny

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Clayton, NC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Sunny is a two year old pure bread German Shepard. She came to us last May all the way from Iowa. She is a very loving, attentive, active & alert girl. She is home with mom all day everyday. She does not like being put in her crate, but when we leave the house she does go in. During the day she has free rain of the home & at night sleeps behind closed door with owners. She would make a great addition to a family who is active & or always home! She is also great with children as we do have a 6 year old autistic child in our home. She comes microchipped, and with all necessary paperwork that we received when she came to us. She has not had any shots since being in our care & we know she at least needs an updated rabies shot. Overall, very healthy pup! She came to us for our son & unfortunately he has just not bonded with her so we feel she would thrive around kids/people who will bond with her.
