Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Frederick is our sweet little old man. He was found as a stray and landed in a shelter. We rescued him soon after. He was a shelter favorite and needed a dental asap. He also had some skin issues but now his skin has cleared up and he is flea free. He immediately blended in with his foster family of dogs and new humans. He loves to play with his ball and sunbathe on the deck. He is definitely a lap dog but he does love his special chair. Good with all dogs and cats, neutered and heartworm negative.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Jasper. That’s probably not my real name because my story is unfortunately a lot like many other unwanted pets. I was left to fend for myself not knowing where my next meal would be. Luckily I was rescued and given my chance to shine. I have proven that I really really love people regardless of my early start with humans. I want to be loved so much that I will beg for just a head rub and lap snuggles. Yes I’m a big strong boy but I’m really a small lap dog disguised in a hound dog body. Do I give slobbery kisses, why yes, is there a problem with that? I love to run and play but if given a choice I’d rather be by my persons side. I would make a great adventure companion. Riding shotgun by your side wherever you go, that would be my doggie dream. Currently I share a foster home with lots of other all size dogs but I would really like to be your only ride or die dog. I’ve gone so long without one on one attention that I’m constantly competing for the attention. Am I perfect? Heck no but I’m a diamond in the rough, clay ready to be molded. I’m looking for my person who is ready to be my furever person. One who will love me and never give up on me. I’ve been waiting a long time to just be loved. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 12, 2026, 5:58 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Toby is still looking for a home.  He was found as a stray in April, the owners (located via his chip), couldn’t take him back.  The vet says he’s a Sharpei mix, and estimated to be between 2-4 yrs old.  I have completely vetted him and he is now fully healed from his neuter. His vet care to this point has exceeded $300-but he is in great health and ready for a forever, loving home.  I am keeping him on flea, tick and hw prevention while in my care. Toby is: house trained, takes treats gently, has leash manners, wants to be with someone, loves lap time, enjoys being outside. Toby would love a home without small children (he gets jumpy excited) and someone able to walk him.  A fenced yard isn’t required, but would be nice.  Not sure about shared walls housing since he has a deep bark. We currently keep him separated from my dogs since they are not always nice to others.  We have taken Toby to a park to see his reaction in public. He ignores adults, nub wags at children, but gets jumpy excited when dogs walked by.  When on walks, he shows interest in squirrels, rabbits but is brought back on track with a stern “No”.  When in the fenced yard, he plays and self entertains, and checks to see you’re still there once in awhile.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 12, 2026, 5:58 pm

Story
I found this guy in February at a BP gas station near the coast in Warsaw, NC! He was dumped there the morning of the day I found him, the clerk was getting ready to call animal control so I scooped him up. He turns 1 this May, 2026! He is very energetic and playful, we have a large backyard that he loves to play in!! Unfortunately, I have a very busy work schedule and cannot give him the attention or exercise that he needs to thrive. He is very high energy, he gets walked 2-3 times a day and still has energy left over. He is very personable, loves to be pet, and knows a few basic commands (sit, stay, "on your bed" to crate him, and "howdy" will get you a handshake!). He absolutely needs a backyard to play in and spend a lot of time in! All of his shots are up to date except his flea and tick shots, I will set up an appointment to get those completed.

Story
Charlie is a sweet 5 year old girl, she’s great with my 9 year old son and is very low energy, she loves to lay and cuddle on the couch while she gets belly rubs, she will definitely remind you to keep petting her if you stop. Unfortunately, she gets very anxious around men and does bark at them, but has never had any aggression towards anyone. She will do best in a home and environment without men. She’s fully house trained and crate trained and will even go into her crate on her own when she knows we are leaving the house. She knows how to sit and give handshakes and lets my son dress her up in a sorts of superhero outfits.
