Please read ALL of this listing prior to asking questions. If you are interested in Pretzel, and feel that you would be a good match for him, please submit an application as stated towards the end of his listing. After we receive your application we will contact you... thank you! Meet Pretzel... our newest senior Dachshund who is now looking for his forever home since previous guardian passed away. This little guy weighs about 13-lbs.and is about 12-years old. Even though he's a senior, he's still an extremely active boy and loves going for long walks and rides very well in the car. We are looking for a family for him who is active and will take him for walks and on new adventures. He's well behaved, not a barker, and gets along well with people and other dogs, so he is a wonderful companion. Pretzel is housetrained and crate trained, although he'd rather not sleep in his crate. At times he can be stubborn, as are most Dachshunds, but he generally wants to please and is very treat-motivated. Pretzel is neutered, current on his Distemper/Parvo and Rabies vaccines, tested negative for Heartworms, and is microchipped. Pretzel currently needs weekly shampooing to treat his skin issues. The weekly shampooing with a medicated shampoo should be able to keep it under control and keep him comfortable. Fortunately, Pretzel doesn't mind his baths and is very cooperative! Pretzel's adoption fee is $400.00 Pretzel is a loving, active, and smart little boy who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that Pretzel would be a good match for your family, please submit an application by going to our website foreverhomek9rescue.org for an application and email the completed application to us at foreverhomek9rescue@yahoo.com. You can also submit an application by going to: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption/ (cut and paste). Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family. The fee is refunded if the adoption does not work out within the trial period. We want to be sure that each of our pets will have their perfect 'forever' home! Although Forever Home Canine Rescue adopts out-of-state, we never ship or transport our pets. An approved adopter must come to North Carolina to meet their new canine companion and then take him/her back home with them.

Story
Please read ALL of this listing prior to emailing with questions or inquiries. If you are interested in Coco and feel that you would be a good match for her, you MUST FIRST fill out and submit this application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste). After we receive your application and review it, we will contact you. Thank you! Coco is a tiny 6-lb., 2-year-old Chihuahua mix who is in search of her forever home. She is a timid little girl, but is very loving and affectionate when she feels comfortable in her new environment. We are looking for a new guardian for her who will take her out for walks and new adventures so she can be well socialized... not just a home where she will be home all day long. Being such a small dog, it should be easy taking Coco along on most outings. Coco gets along with the other small dogs in her foster home, but she barks at the big dog. We feel that she will do well in either a single-dog home or with another small dog. Coco's a little 'Velcro dog' and wants to be right next to her person or in their lap... and she loves giving kisses! Coco is housetrained and crate trained, but since she is such a small dog, she has to be let out often. A home with a fenced yard and someone at home during the day will be best for her. We feel it would not be advantageous for her to be in a crate while her family is at work during the day. In her foster home she sleeps in a crate, but we are sure that she would love to snuggle next to her new guardian in their 'big bed'. Coco is a very healthy little girl and is current on her Dist/Parvo and Rabies vaccinations. We also had her spayed, microchipped, and tested for Heartworms. She is on Heartguard for Heartworm prevention. Coco's adoption fee is $400.00 Coco is a loving, sweet, and smart little girl who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that you would like to add Coco to your family, please submit an application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste). Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family.

Please read ALL of this listing prior to emailing with questions or inquiries. If you are interested in Jessi and feel that you would be a good match for her, you MUST FIRST fill out and submit our application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste). After we receive your application and review it, we will contact you. Thank you! Jessi is a beautiful and sweet purebred Shih Tzu who is in need of her forever home. She's a young girl and will be 2-years-old in June... so we are looking for adopters who either work from home or are very young retirees. In her foster home Jessi gets along well with the other dogs, both big and small, and is not a 'barker'. We feel that she will do well in a home with another dog or as on 'only dog'.. Jessi's a little 'Velcro dog' and wants to stay close to her person. She is housetrained and crate trained, but needs to be let out often. A home with a fenced yard and someone at home during the day will be best, or someone who is willing to leash-walk her to go 'potty'. In her foster home she sleeps in a crate, but we are sure that she would love to snuggle next to her new guardian in their 'big bed'. Jessi is a very healthy little girl and has been spayed and microchipped. She is current on her Dist/Parvo and Rabies vaccinations, and she will be fully recuperated from her spay surgery and finished with the rest of her vetting on the 1st of May, when she will be available to go to her forever home. Jessi's adoption fee is $475.00 Jessi is a loving, sweet, and smart little girl who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that you would like to add Jessi to your family, please submit an application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste).

Story
This is a courtesy posting for Cornelius Animal Shelter where a dog named Petunia Grace has been living for over one year since her owner died. She was 8 years old last August and is currently about 45 pounds. Petunia is mostly black with white markings on her chest. She does need to be an only dog and likes a quiet home with no kids. Petunia Grace likes to bond with one or two people. Some of her favorite things to do are snuggling on a couch or going for a car ride! She only has one medical issue and that is she’s allergic to chicken dog food. Petunia Grace doesn’t bark for no reason but if someone she doesn’t trust approaches your/her territory, then she is an excellent guard dog who will alert you and scare people away. If you are interested in meeting Petunia and possibly adopting her, please call Cornelius Animal Shelter at 704-237-3602 to make an appointment since they have limited hours. The shelter is located at 19110 Meridian St., Cornelius, NC 28031 (which is right off Catawba Avenue in Cornelius – Exit 28 – I-77)

Story
Willy is 11 years old. His shots are up to date as of last year. He has killed livestock(ducks and chickens) on our property and has not responded well to being tied up in the yard when outside, but he can't be out free anymore. I would just like to find him someplace where he can have some freedom, maybe a fenced in yard or somewhere more urban.

Story
Giulia is a purebred American Bully. She was bought from a friend in Florida who had a litter. She will be 2 yrs old in July. We are first time parents and the responsibility/stress of parenthood is causing us to unintentionally neglect Giulia. We would like her to go to a good home with people that will not only take care of her, but make her a priority.
