Story
Charlie is a very sweet and playful dog who is full of energy. He’s smart and knows a few tricks. He is great with kids and plays well with other dogs, but is a nuisance and tends to end up in little fights because he can be a tad annoying to them. He has never tried to hurt our cat but loves to chase him through the house and he scares our cat. Charlie would be a great addition to a family who has lots of room to run and patient pets who can tolerate high energy.

Bo

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Kings Mountain, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
I acquired my pet from a breeder. I believe the breeder abused him due to the exchange when I picked him up. The breeder was yelling at him and pulling him when bringing him to me. Bo has a lot of anxiety at times and can get sketched out. The only time he has been aggressive is with other dogs. So, he needs to be only dog. Once he warms up to you, he is very clingy, affectionate and loving. He’s “somewhat” house trained. If he is taken out multiple times a day, and I mean multiple - more than two - several times, he’s usually good. But he likes to mark his territory sometimes and will pee. Bo is around 3-4 years old. We would prefer him to go to a home with no dogs and no kids/infants. Someone who can spend time and attention with him. He doesn’t like to be left alone.

Holly

Miniature Dachshund Jack Russell Terrier

Female, Adult
Kings Mountain, NC
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We acquired Holly because she was a stray in the neighborhood. We could not find her owner. Holly is house trained if she is taken out multiple times a day. However, if there is a rug, towel, or pile of clothes lying somewhere in the floor, she will pee on it and/or poop. This leads me to believe that maybe her previous owner used potty pads. I’ve had her for a few years now. Due to having an infant we are trying to rehome all of our dogs. Although Holly is great with kids, infants, or other dogs, we will feel much safer without any. She does bark and prefers women over men.

Story
I'm currently looking for every no-kill shelter in North Carolina that will possibly take my dad's dog but I have to ask is there anybody out there that's willing to adopt a dog? He'll be 9 in May so he's getting old, he's a golden lab / pit mix. If I had any option to take him in I would but I don't have my own place right now. I live with my grandmother in ohio who has Parkinson's disease. I don't want my dad's dog to have to go to the pound and be put down but my grandmother in North Carolina is walking on a cane and can't take care of him herself. My dad's last concern was for the dog. He's never been an outside dog but if It would keep him alive then I want him to live. If anybody can take him please get a hold of me soon.
