Story
Sugar Pie is a ten year old Retriever/Shepherd mix, a gentle giant who was found wandering along a road and taken in by our elderly father who lives in the Garner/Clayton area. The two have enjoyed years of faithful companionship, but now Dad's health care needs have increased and he has decided to move to a new home where dogs cannot be accommodated. Sugar Pie has fecal incontinence issues and would need to be kept outside, perhaps on a larger tract or farm where this wouldn't be an issue. She is a very loyal, loving, and adaptable companion. She would adjust quickly to someone who was willing to take some time and help her settle into her new home.

Story
I am posting on behalf of my son. As you can read below he is active duty military and has found himself in a situation where he just doesn’t have the time to devote to his beloved Judge. He also is in class 12 hours a day and cannot manage the posts so I am doing that on his behalf. I have kept judge for periods of time and adore this dog as much as Dylan does. The few things I would add to what he has to say are these— he has done well around cats and chickens. — I have a 10 year old son that adores him and he does amazing with him but I would not recommend he be in a home with small children. — we had an elderly dog that has since passed but he was good with her. Please reach out only if you are serious and have the time Dylan is lacking to love this dog the way he deserves. Dylan lives in North Carolina and will meet any prospective parents and see if it is a good fit, those meetings would have to be on weekends. We would prefer someone with the time, the space and the love

Story
We got her when she was 9 weeks old in the Walmart parking lot. She turns 3 March 31 2026, she has issues with our other dogs and she recourse guards me and my husbands bedroom from both dogs and people. She has never bit anyone and the fights with the dogs have never resulted in an injured dog. She limps on her back left leg sometimes, we aren't sure why and just cant afford to find out right now. My husband is joining the military and we aren't sure where we will be and are worried we wont be able to take her because she's a pit bull. I'm also pregnant and we are worried she will have a problem with the baby being in the bedroom. We are hoping to find someone who can train her or can pay for her to be trained and can afford better vet care for her. She's an extremely sweet dog and I truly believe if she was properly trained and cared for she wouldn't have any problems at all. She loves to play with ropes and squeaky toys. She constantly wants to lick you and she loves cuddles.

Story
Meet Lucy or Lu-Lu! She responds to both. We found this beautiful girl on the side of the road in Cameron North Carolina. She had looked like someone dumped her on the side of the road after she gave birth to puppies. There were no puppies in sight so we believe she was dumped after her puppies were weened off of her milk. She was covered in cuts and looked starved. We took her in for two months now and she has been nothing but amazing. She is now completely healed and is at a healthy weight. She gets along with my other three dogs and my two cats. She is playful and loves affection. She has been spayed and had her rabies shot. Shes updated on her dewormer and her flea medication. Shes about 1 and a half to 2 years old. She loves toys and loves outside. If we didn't have so many animals already we would keep her in a heartbeat. But that wouldn’t be fair to her. She needs someone who can give her a lot of attention. This girl mostly just needs love. Shes had a rough start.
