Story
This HAPPY girl is Annie. Annie hasn't always been happy, as she came from a recent hoarding situation with newborns. Annie is around a year old, small tri color Chihuahua. She currently weighs 12# but once her milk dries up she should be around 10#. Annie is great with other dogs, cats and older children. Her best friend at her foster home is a beagle. They love the company of each other! She will do great either with another dog or by herself. If by herself, she will need a retired family or someone who works from home. Annie is not housetrained but she is working on it. Annie is learning what it's like to be a member of a family and not a breeding machine. She is doing great on a leash! Annie will be spayed the week of July 21 (12 weeks after giving birth). She can still be adopted and the new owner will be responsible for taking her to one of our rescue partners for her spay. Annie is current on vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention. Annie came with much hairloss over her body. She has mostly grown all of her hair back now. She has one small patch on her back end that eventually should come back. If interested, please complete an adoption application https://acfrescue.weebly.com/forms.html Adoption fee: $250

COURTESY POST: Lexington NC: Look at these show stoppers! Meet Raven and Lacey. These girls are a bonded pair of sisters. They were surrendered because the property manager no longer allowed pets. One of our rescue partners, Friends in Need Animal Rescue in Lexington needs your help to find these girls a perfect home, together. Raven is a 4 year old Chiweenie. She weighs 10#. She is the most snuggly girl of them all. She is a chow hound, but her foster mom is working to get her down a couple of pounds. She is fully vetted, including spay. She is heartworm negative and on monthly prevention. Lacey is 4 years old, Chiweenie. She weighs 8#. She is more reserved of the two, but once she finds out that she is safe with you, she gives kisses and shows lots of affection. They are great with other dogs, older children and cats. The girls really need to stay together. They are both housetrained and crate trained. Preference goes to someone/family home a lot (work from home or retired). These girls have been through so much, we only want the best for them. Requirements from Friends in Need: Own your own home Attached Fenced Yard Vet Reference and Home Visit Required Adoption fee: $300/pair Please contact Rhonda at 336-880-5133 or email rodogs1!gmail.com If it's easier, please go to our website and complete an adoption application.

Story
Meet Annie YOU MUST HAVE AN APPROVED APPLICATION IN ORDER TO MEET OUR PETS. Meet Annie, an adorable 7 or 8 year old Chihuahua weighing 7.6 pounds. Annie has had a challenging past, having been rescued from a rural county shelter along with seven other dogs. Despite her rough start, Annie is a sweet and playful little companion, ready to bring joy to her forever home. Personality: Annie is known for her sweet and playful nature. She enjoys chasing small tennis balls and playing with small toys. Her playful spirit makes her a delightful addition to any household. Compatibility: Annie gets along well with other nice dogs of any size. She would thrive in a home with canine companionship, making her an ideal addition to a family with existing dogs. Her friendly demeanor suggests that she can create lasting bonds with both humans and furry friends. Ideal Home: Annie's perfect home would have a secure fence, as she has an adventurous side. This will ensure her safety while allowing her to explore and play freely. In an ideal world, Annie would be accompanied by her buddy Leo, creating a perfect duo of canine companionship. Health Information: Annie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and is scheduled for a dental procedure to ensure her continued well-being. It's important to note that Annie, like so many Chihuahuas, has a luxating patella in one of her back legs. It doesn't slow her down, and she shows no signs of discomfort so it is not a problem. Adoption Considerations: Prospective adopters should be prepared for a playful and affectionate companion. Annie's adventurous spirit may require a secure environment to prevent any unplanned escapades. Additionally, her potential adopter should be comfortable with the fact that Annie has a luxating patella, although it doesn't affect her overall well-being at all. If you're looking for a charming and loving canine companion, Annie might be the perfect fit for your family! Adoption donation $250. Please note that we do not ship animals. We also require a home visit before finalizing any adoptions so preference is given to applicants within a 90 mile range. You will be required to come to High Point, NC to meet/pick up your new pet.

Story
**Meet Grace: Your Perfect Hound-Mix Companion** Grace is a beautiful soul and a super sweet, mild-mannered hound-mix who thrives in the company of her humans and doggie friends. Imagine a cat in a dog’s body: Grace loves to relax, take naps on her dog bed, and especially enjoys snuggly naps with her favorite humans. She’s fantastic with children and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, needing a furry friend in her new home to keep her company. Grace is house and potty trained, making her an easy addition to your family. However, she’s not comfortable being crated, so a crate-free environment is best for her. Her current owner, who can no longer provide the stable home Grace deserves due to personal commitments, is seeking a loving home with a fenced-in yard where Grace can run, play, and feel secure. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who’s great with kids and other dogs, Grace is the perfect addition to your family. Give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves.

Story
Born April 1, 2021.Had them since they were 7 weeks old. Never been separated. Very good with children and cats. Same with dogs depending on how they’re introduced they get excited. They’re very well behaved and sleep in an couple crate at night together. Their appetite is very good. They can sit, shake, lay down. Thor is the light brindle. Loki is the dark brindle. Loki loves chew toys. They both love following whomever they think the master is around. Thor can get a little anxious at times especially around loud noises or when he’s separated from Loki. We lack the space and time to exercise them properly. They are both neutered. Crates, leashes, harness, food/water bowls, toys would be included with them.
