Story
Almost 5 months ago I was asked by someone in need to temporarily foster her 2 pit puppies, who are now 8 months old, she ahd agreed that since I am currently unemployed she would handle all expenses. Well I haven't seen or heard from her in over 3 months and I can no longer afford their food, and therefore obviously not their shots or spaying. I have had a couple offers of people to take them....but after doing research I find they were breeders and possibly one that may have wanted to use them for fighting, and thats just not going to happen. I need to find a good family with a great home for these girls. And yes again there are 2 both girls, they are bonded and I would like to keep them together. They are loving and while they love to horseplay they are amazing cuddlers.Sadly I have no more funds to take care of them, the owner has ghosted me, and my wife's ill health is such that we can no longer continue to care for them.

Story
Meet Draco! He is "ruff"ly 6 years old, approx. 48 lbs., all brindle love bug and socilalizes well with other dogs. Unfortunately, my aunt got him from the Humane Society recently and a couple months later (May 2026) she had a stroke. She is on a very long road to recovery; her neighbor has him (Clemmons, NC), but is not able to keep him. If anyone is interested in helping this guy out, please give me a call. My name is Ali and my cell is 972-834-6726 . Thanks!

Story
Meet Esther — From Surviving the Streets to Searching for Home Esther or as her Foster calls her, Essie, was found as a stray alongside her assumed brother, roaming in the summer heat—dehydrated, hungry, and desperately in need of help. We later learned that the pair had reportedly been seen abandoned around a local store for a couple of months, somehow surviving on their own. Despite everything she has been through, Essie is incredibly friendly, social, and full of love. We believe she may have once been part of a family because she is potty trained and clearly comfortable around people. She gets along great with other dogs and absolutely loves to play! Barks and chases cats so needs to be adopted by a cat free family. Essie is still a puppy herself, so she’ll need a family committed to providing a consistent schedule, continued training, and plenty of love. She’s currently working on keeping all four paws on the ground when greeting people—but she just gets so excited because she loves people and wants to shower everyone with affection! Essie is around 36 pounds, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. We don’t expect her to get much larger, though she may fill out a little as she continues gaining some much-needed healthy weight. She has a sleek blue coat and gorgeous blue eyes. After spending months just trying to survive, Essie deserves to know what it feels like to be safe, loved, and truly home. Could you be the family she’s been waiting for?

Story
Mila’s story is one of resilience, love, and second chances. At just around 2 years old, Mila was rescued from beneath a mobile home with her 11 puppies when they were only three days old. At the time, Mila had little experience with people and had never truly known what it felt like to be loved. Severely underweight at only 35 pounds, she had spent her life simply surviving. Today, Mila is thriving and healthy at over 100 lbs and has blossomed into an incredible companion. One of the sweetest things about Mila is watching her discover how wonderful affection can be. She now comes over asking for ear rubs, loves hugs and kisses, and happily settles at your feet while you watch TV. She adores having a soft, cozy bed to curl up in at the end of the day. Mila is a playful, goofy girl who has learned that toys are fun and that life can be enjoyable. She loves playing with other dogs and has integrated beautifully with her foster’s German Shepherd. While she enjoys canine companionship, she would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only best friend. She’s house-trained, trustworthy when left alone, loves car rides, enjoys treats, and is always ready for an adventure. Mila is gentle, docile, and has never shown aggression toward other animals. She even ignores rabbits running through the yard! She has been around cats in the past, but her current foster does not have cats, so a proper introduction would be recommended. Mila is still learning some of the basics—she hasn’t quite figured out the whole “sit” command yet—but she is making progress every day. What she lacks in obedience skills, she more than makes up for with her loving heart and eagerness to please. Mila’s ideal home is simply one filled with patience, kindness, and love. Give her a little time to settle in, and she’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty, companionship, and plenty of smiles. After everything she’s been through, Mila is finally ready to find the forever family she deserves. Apply to adopt at hsdavie.org/dogs

Story
Meet Fred — Part Adventurer, Part Lap Dog, Full-Time Good Boy! Fred was found as a stray alongside his assumed sister, Essie, roaming in the summer heat—dehydrated, hungry, and desperately in need of help. We later learned that the pair had reportedly been seen abandoned around a local store for a couple of months, somehow surviving on their own. Despite everything he’s been through, Fred is a happy, playful, and affectionate boy who loves life! He gets along great with other dogs and cats and loves to run, play with toys, and enjoy all the fun he can find. After a few hours of playing, though, Fred is more than ready to curl up for a good nap—and yes, he snores! Fred is also a total lap dog at heart. He loves nothing more than climbing into your lap and soaking up all the love and attention he can get. He’s completely potty trained, walks well on a leash, and rides great in the car, making him a wonderful companion for adventures or just relaxing at home. We do need to mention that Fred has a little bit of a Houdini streak! He’s a talented climber, so he’ll need a safe and secure setup to keep him from heading out on an adventure of his own. Crate training may also be helpful when needed to keep this curious boy safe. Fred is around 35 pounds and is the perfect size for playing, adventuring, and then curling up in your lap—even if he doesn’t quite realize he’s not a tiny puppy! After spending months just trying to survive, Fred deserves to know what it feels like to be safe, loved, and truly home. Could you be the family he’s been waiting for?

Story
🐾 Meet Charlie – A Smart, Loyal Shepherd Looking for the Right Match 🖤🐾 Charlie is a young German Shepherd with all the intelligence, loyalty, and drive that make people fall in love with the breed. She’s potty trained, knows how to “wait” patiently for her food, and absolutely loves a car ride with the windows cracked. With her people, she is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and devoted. Like many working-breed dogs, Charlie needs to stay busy and have a job or duty...in the right home, she has the potential to truly thrive. Charlie will need a very specific environment to set her up for success: • Adult-only home (no young children) • No cats or small animals • Experienced dog owner, preferably with German Shepherd or working breed experience • Someone committed to continuing structured training and management Charlie has shown that she can become overwhelmed and reactive in certain situations, especially around children and cats. Because of this, she needs a calm, controlled home where her boundaries are respected and she can feel secure. She also struggles with crate anxiety when left alone and will need patience and a thoughtful plan to help her build confidence. The good news? Charlie is highly trainable, eager to learn, and deeply bonded to her people. With the right leadership and consistency, she has all the tools to become an incredible companion. Charlie isn’t the right fit for every home—but for the right person, she could be an amazing, devoted partner. If you’re a German Shepherd lover who understands the breed and is ready to give Charlie the structure and guidance she needs, she just might be your perfect match. 🖤 Apply to adopt at hsdavie.org/dogs
