Story
Freddy is an aussie mix and was born October 28,2023 He is a very sweet boy and loves everyone and all animals. He is up to date on distemper parvo (self administered) and 1 year rabies. Due to my work schedule, he is having to stay in a crate all but 4-5 hours a day which isn't a good life for him. I want him to have better than that and have made the decision to rehome him so he can have a happier life. He is house trained, knows some tricks like sit, play dead, and shake Very smart and sweet boy I can't keep him much longer due to my work hours soon to be extending at the end of the month. Please someone give him a good home.

Story
Rocko is an 18 month old American English Coonhound and is approximately 80lbs. He was abandoned at my property around this time last year and though I’ve tried my best to give him a good home, I’m not the right human for him He’s house trained and crate trained, up to date on shots, and is the sweetest doofus you’ll ever meet. He likes kids (he likes to jump though) and tolerates cats (he’s honestly kind of scared of cats but isn’t aggressive towards them). I’m rehoming him for two reasons: I’m a single mom with no real time to give him and he’s an escape artist that likes to head straight for the road…I’m afraid he’ll get run over. He needs room to run and/or someone that can devote time to him. He would make an excellent hiking/adventure buddy. He’s really at the peak time to be trained for hunting or sniffing, and he definitely has a talent for both. He’s up to date on all vaccines and is HW negative (and on preventative). Experience with hound dogs is preferable.

Story
JR recently went on a Dog Day Out and here's what his DDO buddy had to say! 1st DDO: "Meet JR! Took him out today for a Doggie Day out and: He loves loves being out in the woods. He is a good walker. Does the occasional sniff cause he is very curious but comes to as soon as you call him! JR would be a fantastic buddy to anyone or any active family. He likes to get his hike on, but as you can see, he's also a beach bum. He loved the coolness of the sand. Wasn't too sure about the water but would just hang out with you as you read a book or sunbathe. He needs some help getting in the car but once in, he is ready to get to his destination! Even if that's just a pup cup! This guy loves rubs and would probably be a fantastic snuggle buddy! We were out for adventure time today but his tail was a waggin and he was looking for loving when he could get it! Great all around class act pupper!!" 2nd DDO: "Meet JR! He's a very well behaved boy who's very affectionate! When you squat down to his level, he likes to rub up against you and push his full weight into you for as much love as possible! We went for a walk in the park today. He saw all kinds of animals and didn't pull on his leash once! He's very even-tempered and did a great job in public. He was pretty nervous about being in the car at first, but by the end of the day he was very calm and comfortable in the car. I think he'll get over his car anxiety quickly with more exposure. - 4yrs old, 70lb - great in public and very easy to walk - friendly with everyone he meets - non-reactive to passing dogs, squirrels, birds, etc. - treat motivated - nervous in the car but getting used to it!" As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines. To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
