Story
Milo was rescued in charlotte, NC. He is 1 year old, and he was kept in an apartment room over 12 hours a day. His owner was giving him away because “she couldn’t stand his whining” and everyone in the complex was complaining about it. He is not house trained and has hardly been exposed to the outside world until I got him 2 weeks ago. He is not good with cats, and is very playful. He loves dogs but his size is intimidating to some and when you combine that with his puppy energy, it can be stressful to some dogs. I walk with crutches and can’t provide him with the exercise he needs for that reason. He is starting to get anxious from being inside too much because all he wants is to run and play outside. I don’t have a fenced yard to let him play in because my other male dog did not get along with him and I have to keep everyone separated. I just wanted to save this baby from that bad situation or to be taken to a worse one, but I can’t keep him and I feel like I am failing him.

Story
This is Brownie. She is a 6 month old 18lb short hair chihuahua mix we fostered and then adopted from the humane society. While she is learning so fast (she is house broken and crate trained, can sit and shake and play fetch with a ball) it has just become too much for me to handle a puppy on top of our two boys and homeschooling. She is sooo sweet and loves to snuggle while also full of puppy energy! She loves running in the yard with the boys and all her toys. She is friendly with our senior golden mix and loves to play through the fence with all the neighbor dogs. She would thrive in a home where she gets to be around people a lot to play and to snuggle. Our busy schedule leaves her lonely and our older dog is not as playful as he once was.

Story
Hi, my name is Bear and I am a three year old male, mastiff and boxer mix. I love being an indoor couch potato! I also love going for walks outdoors on my leash. I am a big boy who is well over 90 lbs, but identifies as a tiny dog! I’m completely vetted & micro-chipped. I would be happiest as an only pet because I am a big sweet love bug who craves the total attention of everyone & I don’t realize my own strength. If you would be interested in giving me a forever home, here is some information you would need to know: My adoption fee would be $175, to cover a portion of my expenses for the rescue. The rescue will also provide some essentials I would need in my new home.

Story
PB for Pretty Boy. He was a stray. He was found to be shot with a BB gun, abused and scared of sharp noises and quick movements. He is extremely skittish and will run when frightened. He will need a secure fenced yard! As being retired we have gotten to know him well. He is house broken. He is not a barker. He won't bark outside even when he hears other dogs. We had him nurtured so it wouldn't be a stressful with going to a new home. He would do best in a calm home. He has no training for commands nor vocabulary He has never shown any aggression. I can put my hand in his food bowl. He would do well in a calm home. A military veteran could take advantage of free obedience training. He gets along with dogs, cats and people if they behave. He has never growled or shown his teeth. He is looking for love, trust and a fun environment. His potty breaks are approximately 12 hours apart. He is satisfied during the day inside with a bone to keep him amused. No regrets with this sweet dog!

Story
Millie and Moda (Millie (female) on the left and Moda (male) on the right in the picture) they are very sweet with calm personalities. They are approx. 3 years old. They are brother and sister and have been together since birth. We would prefer they remain together but understand if they can't. My schedule has become very busy with 2 jobs and so I am looking for someone that can have the time for them. They love to run outside and play. If you are interest please email me. I hope to find them a loving family for a forever home. Millie is 44 lbs and Moda is 60 lbs. **They are free to a good loving home** Update****We need to rehome these sweet dogs now quickly so please anyone interested please email me quickly!!!

Story
I am a 2 year old female, black & white Lab and Pit Bull mix. My foster will tell you I am high energy and lots of fun! I’m also completely vetted & micro-chipped. I should be the only pet in the home, as I crave attention from everyone. I am not good with cats or small dogs. If there are any children in the home, I do best with older kids. If you would be interested in giving me a forever home, here is some information you would need to know: My adoption fee would be $175, to cover a portion of my expenses for the rescue. The rescue will also provide some essentials I would need in my new home.
