Story
This adorable face belongs to PJ, a truly sweet girl who came to us as a stray after a kind stranger contacted our officers upon noticing she was underweight and lingering on their property with no one looking for her. Thanks to that call, PJ is now safe and ready for a fresh start. ??PJ has done more than tolerate every interaction here at the shelter — if we had a chart with star stickers, her column would be completely full! ? She’s easy to get in and out of her kennel, happily sits for treats, and will even give a little bark to remind you that she knows you’ve got more goodies for her.Since arriving at ICAS, PJ has been tested with a similar-sized, spayed female dog. While she was a bit stiff at first, it didn’t take long at all before she warmed up and burst into a glorious zoomie fit that perfectly showed off her happy, playful energy! ????This super sweet girl is ready for her family to find her, and we invite you to come meet her in person to learn all about her wonderful personality.?? Adoption Tips:• Meet-and-greets with other dogs and children are always recommended prior to adoption to ensure a great fit for everyone.• Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule when adopting a shelter pet: ?? 3 days to decompress and unwind ?? 3 weeks to learn routines and build trust ?? 3 months to fully feel at home and show their true personality??

?? MEET JONAH — READY FOR HIS NEXT CHAPTER ??Jonah came to us as an owner surrender when his family experienced major life changes that made it impossible for them to continue caring for him. This decision was made with heavy hearts, but with Jonah’s best interest at the center—they knew he deserved every chance at a happy, stable future.Jonah is still working on potty training and crate use and would love the opportunity to learn how to be a true house dog. He is such a good boy and, according to his previous family, does great with children! This smart guy already knows “sit” and is incredibly eager to learn more with a family willing to take the time to help him succeed.Since arriving at the shelter, Jonah has met a similar-sized spayed female. He was very interested in giving all the polite sniffs and happily accepted the same in return—he was a wiggly, friendly guy the entire time! ????

Story
?? Meet Madea: Big Personality, Bigger Heart! ?? If you’ve ever seen Tyler Perry’s Madea, you know she’s sassy, bold, and always the life of the party. Our Madea might not wear a wig or crack jokes, but she’s got that same unstoppable spirit and infectious energy! Madea is a 72lb bundle of joy who truly doesn’t realize her size—she’ll toss her weight around like she’s light as a feather, especially when she’s excited (which is all the time)! Treats make her extra wiggly, and you can’t help but grin when you’re around her—her happiness is absolutely contagious.This girl is all about fun and living in the moment. When she meets other dogs, her enthusiasm sometimes gets the best of her, and she tends to ignore doggy etiquette. Even when another dog gives her a warning bark, Madea just keeps on trying to play—she’ll definitely need to work on her canine communication skills.She’s a strong walker and can pull on the leash, so she’d love someone who can help her learn to take it slow and enjoy the stroll. With a little training and a lot of love, Madea will make you laugh ?? every single day.If you’re ready for a sassy, happy, and endlessly loving companion, Madea is your girl! Come meet her at the shelter (??430 Bristol Dr., Statesville, NC) and see if she’s the Madea to your family’s story.

Story
? Meet Morris — Ready for a Fresh Start ?This handsome boy wandered up to a kind stranger’s home and decided he simply didn’t want them to leave. Unsure of his demeanor, the finder contacted Animal Control, and ACO Johnson safely brought him to ICAS. With no microchip and no family coming forward during his stray hold, Morris is now ready to find a home of his very own—and he’s hoping to ring in the New Year with a family to call his own.While Morris was a little unsure at first, he has blossomed into the sweetest, most lovable boy. During a recent meet-and-greet with another dog, he greeted his new friend with instant tail wags and curious sniffs. When playtime ended, Morris laid down in protest, gazing longingly after his new buddy with the most affectionate eyes. It was absolutely precious. ??Morris knows sit, loves people, and is ready to give his whole heart to the right family. Come meet him in person and see just how special he is!We always recommend meet and greets with other dogs and children prior to adoption to ensure a great fit for everyone. His fee is waived!?? Morris | A311509?? 2 years old?? Neutered male?? 52.50 pounds?? Microchipped & UTD on vaccines/preventatives#adoptfromicas #myicasrescue
