Story
Meet Roscoe, who comes to us from the Rowan County Animal Shelter. Roscoe is a 3.5-year-old, 55 lb., Coonhound mix. He was down to his last 24 hours before being put down, and a foster family of ours lovingly took him into their home. Roscoe is incredibly sweet, well-behaved, loves kids, other dogs, and is full of life. He is thriving in his foster home. He's now housetrained, crate trained and has learned so many good manners. Shelter life was hard on him, but since we pulled him, he's now calm, loving, and clearly happy to be out. We do feel that he perhaps has a form of canine autism (this has not been diagnosed), as he can sometimes show sensory overreaction, but this is not a negative thing because he is so well-behaved. Roscoe is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you would like to meet this happier than life fellow, please reach out to us for an application.

Story
Meet Razor, who comes to us from a local shelter after his owner was evicted. Razor is a 1.5-year-old, 12 lb., Chihuahua. When he first came to us, he was scared and defensive. It took him about 4 days for the entire trust / no bite process as he was pretty traumatized. Since then, he has been letting his foster mom pick him up and he has become so very sweet, loving, and incredibly hilarious. All he wants is to please and sits on his back lets to get your attention. He also loves to burrow under the covers and sleep in the bed. Razor is housetrained, crate trained, and excellent with other dogs. He is the typical Chihuahua who goes in slowly to meet strangers until he sees that they are ok. Because of this, we would suggest him going to a home with no children. Razor is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He also just had a dental cleaning and had 8 teeth removed. If given the chance and time to get to know you, this little guy will love you with every inch of his body and soul. If you would like to meet Razor, please reach out to us for an application.

Story
Meet Finn, who comes to us from a local shelter. Finn is a 4-year-old, 118 lb., Great Dane. He does need to gain about 20 pounds, and he's got a severe, untreated, double eye infection. Our vet has started him on antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory, and the swelling has already started to go down. He is current on his vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped. Finn seems to be housetrained, he's crate trained, and good with all dogs and people. He is as tall as he is sweet and loving. Finn knows his basic commands and loves to give his paw. He is quiet in his crate (XXXL sized) and just the gentlest giant ever. If you would like to meet Finn, please reach out to us for an application.
