Story
My name is Biscuit. According to the veterinarian, I am one year old and I weigh 18 lbs. I'm a stocky little fellow, a little on the chunky side. I am neutered, up today on my rabies and dhpp vaccines, and I am heartworm negative . I am fostered in Danbury, North Carolina but easy, affordable transportation is available. I am neutered, up today on my rabies and dhpp vaccines, and I am heartworm negative. I have been surrendered to the rescue because my owners do not have time to spend with me. Because my owners are gone so long during the day, I am puppy pad trained. I will potty outside though if taken out. I am good with other dogs and children. I have been around toddlers and infants. I'm not sure about cats because the rescue does not have any. I will bark at a cat if I see one, but will stop barking after a few minutes. I love to play fetch and will bring back to you whatever you throw. I also love belly rubs and will roll over on command for one. I come when I'm called and I know how to sit. I will also walk on my hind legs for a treat. I walked on a leash for the first time for my video. As you can see, I did pretty good. I am very smart and I learn quickly. I love to be with people! I will follow my owner around the house and will snuggle up in the chair with him in the evening. I am very curious and attentive as to what my people are doing. I have I submissive temperament and a happy personality! I am well behaved in the house. I don't try to get in the trash or chew anything up. I have a medium energy level. I am a wonderful companion with lots of love to give! I'm ready and waiting to go to my new forever home! Email is the best method of contract. Applications can be found on the rescue website carolinacaninerescuenc.com

Story
My name is Slayton! I am one years old and I weigh approximately 40 - 45 lbs. I am fostered in Danbury, North Carolina but easy, affordable transportation is available. I was turned into a County animal shelter, but I’m not sure why because I am such a loving, friendly boy. I get along great with other dogs of all sizes and ages. In fact, one of my favorite playmates is the Great Pyrenees in our foster home. I am a fun loving boy with a very happy personality. I love people and I really enjoy being with them. I love to be petted and played with. l walk on a leash and I ride well in the car. I don't bark a lot. I have a medium energy level. I'm good with kids. I don't know if I'm good with cats because the rescue doesn't have any. I am neutered, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on my vaccines. I'm a wonderful companion with lots of love to give! I'm ready and waiting to go to my new forever home! Belly rubs are a must! A copy of my veterinarian records will accompany me to my new home. Once an application is approved, the foster’s phone number will be provided before an adoption decision is made. Email is the best method of contact.

Story
Meet Kandra! What does she need in her forever home. A Family who can work with her quirks! A family willing to keep up her training and socialization. A family who gets out for walks and gives her the exercise needed. She can be quirky with other dogs and multiple meet and greets with her and another dog would be best. Kandra is our beautiful sleek black girl. Kandra LOVES to go on walks or hikes and does so every week with other dogs in our hiking group. Kandra gives amazing hugs and will flop right over for a belly rub. She is loving and will do tricks or act cute for your attention. Kandra can be shy with new people, especially men. She does well with SOME dogs and not with others, so she will require a meet and greet with any existing dogs in the home. Kandra is currently in training and is practicing her tricks and getting out of her shell with new people often.
