Story

Daisy was found at a sawmill, pregnant. She was picked up by a shelter and then taken in by a rescue. After she had her puppies, she was adopted by her current family. They tried for a year but were not able to get her to accept their teen son as part of the family. She loves her people but prefers only animal siblings. She has been around cats with great success. Her first foster had dogs and they said she was fine with them however, she hasn't been around other dogs for a year. She is very sweet and loving. Enjoys walks and napping on the couch with her people. She seems to feel most comfortable with women but will warm up to men. She would do best with a family that doesn't entertain a lot.

Lucky

Shepherd (Unknown Type) German Shepherd Dog

Male, 5 yrs

Cornelius, NC

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lucky was adopted from us in 2021 but sadly found his way back to the shelter after his owner passed away. He’s understandably confused, and we would love for him to spend as little time here as possible. We are still getting to know Lucky, and he is still getting to know us. He gets excited when he sees us, sometimes jumping up and rubbing against our leg, but other times he is grumpy and confused, as if he isn't quite sure why he is around us all of the time. He definitely needs more time to decompress and adjust to life without his family. Hopefully his second chance at happiness is out there. So far, Lucky has been very well-behaved and easy-going. Around five years old and 65 lbs, Lucky is neutered and house-trained. He previously lived with an older female dog he adored, so he may be dog-friendly as well. Come meet this sweet boy and give him a soft place to land.

Size

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

He is 35lbs and 4 years old - Doesn't get along with the other dog in the photo. We have two small kids so we want them to feel safe. Yogi has been trained and we will send him with the rest of his food, large crate if needed and his training collar. He is the sweetest dog to children, he just fights for alpha and we are saddened to not be able to keep him. He will be great in a home with kids but only him as he fights for attention and to be alpha. We would like to make sure he is given to a great home. Wont give him just anywhere... Thanks

Luna

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult

Cornelius, NC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Luna is a gorgeous blue merle Mini Aussie (~27 lbs, 7 yrs) with a striking blue crescent moon in her brown eyes and fluffy coat. She has been with us since age 1. She is smart, loving, and full of life. Highly intelligent, she needs mental work or a job to stay balanced and happy. Affectionate, relaxed after exercise, great with people, excellent at boarding, shines at dog parks, and loves frisbee catch. Fully vaccinated with solid obedience training. As a herding breed, she has protective instincts and may nip/herd when stressed. She thrived on our half-acre but struggles with younger kids in our blended family, with a few minor bites in high-stress moments. She would excel in a calm home with older kids (or none), experienced herding-breed owners, plenty of space, and purpose (herding, agility, hikes, tasks). We adore her and want her to have her happiest life. Would love to get updates/photos for our 12-year-old girls. Perfect for an active, experienced owner with space.

Hiro

Labrador Retriever Collie

Male, Senior

Davidson, NC

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hiro is a senior gentlemen at 10-11 years old, who is looking for a new soft spot to land after his former family had children and he was not getting the attention he deserves. His former owner is experiencing complications and cannot care for the young children in the home and Hiro. They feel he is not safe around small children, and want to ensure Hiro is removed from an uncomfortable situation before anything happens to anyone. He loves other dogs of all sizes, and would love a buddy or maybe two, but could definitely be happy to the the king of his castle. Hiro is crate trained, house broken, has some off leash training, does not require a yard, is very gentle taking treats, and loves people. He has a short, but thick double coat, that should be easy to maintain with regular brushing. He last saw the vet in April, and is UTD on his core vaccines. He is a really chill dude just looking for a cozy, quiet(ish) house to call his own. Feel free to contact for further information.

Topper

German Shepherd Dog Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Young

Huntersville, NC

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Topper is a lovable and energetic GSD/Aussie mix. He's well trained indoors with a sweet disposition. He is very gentle around our 2 young children! With mixed Shepard breeds, Tooper needs a lot of daily exercise which we have lost the time to give to him with raising our new family. He is good off leash chasing a ball and decent on leash. He is protective of his family but plays very well with similarly sized dogs when kenneled. We would like to find Topper a new home where he has a lot of room to run and play all day.
