Hi, I'm Bean. My foster mom named me that because the first thing she saw when I was born were my toe beans. Apparently, I was born backwards. I love playing with my littermates. I'm a good boy with a curiosity nobody can beat! I love to play hard, then I pass out. I'm all boy! Wanna a play? DOB: 6/20/25 I come with my age appropriate vaccines and I've been dewormed. I am house trained. If interested in adopting Bean, please fill out an adoption application: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/MFAR/42224-mfar-adoption-application

Story
Molly is a 3 year old (Estimated DOB: 3/3/23) German Shepherd. Molly was dumped out in January of 24 in the freezing cold because she was pregnant and the babies weren't full GSD. Molly was an amazing momma. She was adopted and just ended up being returned. She was returned because of owner issues not anything that she did. Molly is now once again looking for her forever home. Molly is an energetic and loving girl. She is playful and loves other dogs. Not sure about cats but best guess is probably not. She is super sweet and loving, never meets a stranger. Molly is goofy and funny. She loves toys and tends to play momma to the stuffies. She will sleep with them tucked under her front legs. She loves to ride and go for walks. She is a little rough on leash when she gets excited. Molly is house and crate trained. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Adoption Fee $350.00

Story
Meet Gigi ❤️ Gigi is 9 months–1 year old and about 50 lbs. She was abandoned when a neighbor moved and survived on the streets for months. After seeing her chased with sticks and even shot at, I began leaving food out and talking sweetly to her when she came around. Over time she trusted me enough that I was able to lure her inside. Gigi is now vaccinated, on heartworm/flea prevention and spayed. During surgery, we unexpectedly learned she was newly pregnant with 9 puppies. Sadly, the pregnancy couldn't continue, adding another difficult chapter to her young life. Gigi loves people and has done well with kids. She's affectionate, smart, potty/crate trained, walks on a leash, rides in the car and knows several commands. She's currently low-energy and loves to cuddle. Living with my large, rowdy dogs is too stressful for her, so she needs an only-pet home, at least for now. I'm in western NC but will travel for the right home and can provide free training support.

Symone is a Shepherd mix (um not really sure what she is). She is a lowriding ball of energy. She loves people and has been friendly with everyone she meets.

Mia is a one year old hound mix still looking for her forever home. She was rescued off the streets with her mama and sister at 8 weeks old. Mia loves toys, snuggles and all kinds of food.

She is fixed, up to date on shots, potty trained, crate trained, sociable, and sweet. This gentle baby is loved by everyone who meets her. She would do best in a home with children or a very active adult, she is very high energy. She needs lots of enrichment. Miss Mia does well with dogs and cats. This little sour patch shares the brain cell with someone else and they won't give it back. If you don't fall in love with her waggy tail maybe her crooked smile or deep brown eyes will win you over DOB: 6/20/25 Mia is spayed, had all her puppy vaccines. is dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Bonnie is looking for her forever family. Are you looking for a wonderful sweet loving, playful and very energetic girl. Bonnie was bought from a breeder to be a breed dog. Fortunately for her she decided to start killing the chickens before she reached breeding age. She is now altered and will never have to have puppies. When she came into her foster home she had not been socialized, had never been on leash or in a crate and had not ridden in a car since she was very tiny. She has spent an eventful few months learning how to be a family pet and live inside. She is fully crate trained and great on leash. She is beginning to trust people and is finally letting people pet her at adoption events. She still doesn't much like riding. She is doing great with housetraining but will probably have some accidents going into new home. She is good with most dogs that are her size but think it would be best for her to have a home without small dogs. She seems to be okay with older kids not sure about really young ones. Bonnie is not a working farm dog. She will need a home with lots of activity to keep her from being bored. She is going to make someone a wonderful companion. Are you that someone? Estimated DOB: 11/30/25 Spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines Adoption fee: 350.00
