Story
This is an unaltered 7 year old male purebred German shepherd. He is very friendly and playful, healthy and is up to date on all vaccines. He had an issue with a major yeast overgrowth on his skin that caused some fur loss, but that has been fully treated and his fur is beginning to grow back now. He was unfortunately abandoned at our house and we just don't have the time or living space to keep him. He is ready for his new forever home immediately!

Story
Beau is a wonderful snuggle bug. He came from a home with young children and was rehomed for being too rambunctious. We don’t see that but don’t recommend he go to a home with young children. Our family has had a family crisis and are needing to make some tough choices to care for an aging parent. This is the only reason Beau needs a new home and we are heartbroken for him. He is a wonderful little guy and everything great about a boston. Beau is a blanket and clothes lover. He will bathe you in love, snuggles and kisses. He’s reliably housebroken and very trustworthy. He is great on leash, loves long walks and can be taken into stores and outside dining. He’s a little guy that’s only 14 pounds. He gets along well with other dogs and is very playful. He does have a sensitive stomach and needs a consistent routine and should never be boarded (does fine at pet sitter’s home).

We received Teddy for a temporary foster home. It has been a year and we have not been successful with finding him a home. I am willing to pay a rehoming fee for a good home for him. He’s great with kids and loves to cuddle. He has all his shots and he’s also neutered.

Story
Ivy was adopted in August 2023 at the Watauga Humane shelterin Boone, NC. She was estimated to be about 8 weeks old when adopted and is some kind of hound/pointer mix. She is a wonderful dog who loves to play and cuddle. She loves going to the dog park and going on long walks and runs. She loves the outdoors and loves to swim and play fetch. She knows commands like sit, stay, lay down, shake, and spin. She has good name recall and is completely potty trained. I think she would love a yard where she can run around and be free and also be with another dog to have as a friend. She is really sweet and a great dog She loves to socialize with other dogs a lot. She can be a little skittish in loud environments, but she is generally calm. She does get a bit protective towards strangers and may bark in the house. Unfortunately I have allergies to her that progressively got worse as she grew older and I have tried a lot of different treatments, but they still affect me negatively daily.

Story
2/5/26: URGENT Due to life circumstances (moving) foster is no longer able to house Genesis. If you have room in your home she could use a place to crash. Meet Genesis: Strong, Sweet, and Always Watching Out Genesis is a 110-pound brindle pitbull mix with a calm, wise soul and a heart full of quiet love. She and her brother Waffles were found beside their late owner, refusing to leave his side after he passed. Since that heartbreaking moment, Genesis has remained a steady, grounded presence—always looking out for those she loves. She’s independent and thoughtful, happy to lounge outside and watch the world go by. When she’s ready for affection, she’ll nudge you gently for pets and love. Genesis is fully potty trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is content being home alone during the day. She doesn’t need constant attention—just a home that feels safe and a person she can trust. Genesis is used to being the “big sister”—sharing food, giving up her bed, and always checking in. Now, she’s ready for a home of her own, where she can soak up the spotlight and continue blossoming into her own. She walks well on leash, is food-motivated and trainable, and thrives in a peaceful environment. Like her brother, Genesis is selective with other dogs, so she may prefer to be your one and only pup—but with a heart like hers, she’ll be all you need. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion with quiet strength and a big heart, Genesis is ready to start her next chapter—with you.

Story
Two words, sweet and playful! Harley is younger, around one, she is full of energy and spunk. I got her at a shelter she is up to date with vaccines and rabies shot and is also spayed. She is a very loving pup and needs more attention than I am able to give right now. A new home with a fence is preferred or an ability for frequent walks, she loves to explore new places! I have a crate, dog food, hygiene supplies (electric nail clipper still in box) also collars/harness and leash and some toys! You could be her forever home! Please inquire!
