Story

This is Gibby! Gibby is a young (roughly 1 year old) stray who I found in a construction site after he was hit by a car. He had to have FHO surgery on his back leg due to injuries, but he has not let it slow him down. Unfortunately, I already have many of my own animals, and he needs a lot of exercise, continued training, and love. He loves the outdoors (swimming,hiking, playing fetch) and would do very well with an experienced owner who is somewhat familiar with positive reinforcement training. He plays constantly with both the large and small dogs in my house. He likes to chase the cat around, but I’m not sure the cat is a fan. He has not yet been around children, and may do best in a home without them. Gibby is full of energy and love and is ready for a forever home to love him back!

Story

Bear the SWEETHEART!! Estimated Birthday: 11/3/25 Estimated Size: Medium to Large Bear is the male runt from a litter of 8. He currently weighs 18 lbs. He is very sweet and loving! His mama babied him a little more than the others. As a result, he is very loving but also seems to be very humble. He shows demure confidence in meeting new people and visiting new environments. He is a snuggle bug, and loves to be babied! He is a very very sweet boy. Most of the time quiet and bashful, but has already began finding his voice. Loves to be held and petted more than anything, but also more than happy to be active and playing games. LOVES playing in the water. Absolute cuddle bug and he is so precious. (He was mommas boy when they were tiny pups). Bear is in need of a foster home ASAP!! You provide the love, we will continue to provide food, vet care, preventative meds, and supplies. All American Mix. His mama appears to be a Boxer mix. We think they may potentially have some pitbull terrier, lab, hound. Bear is colored more like a Border Collie, and has soft fuzzy hair. We try to limit our travel time for home visits to a two-hour driving range (about 75 miles) from Morganton, NC.

Story

Estimated DOB: 11/12/25 Estimated size: 50-60lbs Introducing TURBO....one of our pittie babies. True to his name, Turbo is full of life, energy and mischief 🥰 !! He is a VERY smart little boy that you need to stay 3 steps ahead of 💕 He is currently 15 weeks old and 22 lbs. Turbo LOVES to play and would excel with an active outgoing family ! He is extremely loving, social, and full of personality. The first night he and his siblings were rescued, Turbo was the first to come out of the transport crate, tail wagging, going back into the crates again and again to coax his other more shy siblings to come out of the crate. He was immediately endearing to all of us watching him reassure his siblings. 🤎 We are looking for a foster or foster to adopt home for this amazing boy! Contact 828-612-2951 if you would like to meet Turbo. ❤ ( Morganton, NC )

Story

Goose: MR. PERSONALITY Estimated Birthday: 11/3/25 Estimated Size: Medium to Large Goose - Goose is quite literally a silly goose. I have been challenged to think of a dog that is as funny as goose and with as much personality despite his age. A bit rambunctious but in all the best ways. Will chase the ball sun up to sundown, loves getting his neck scratched especially under the chin, and is a huge puzzle feeder enthusiast. Very very smart boy. Warms up so quick with everyone he’s ever met. Goose is in need of a foster home ASAP!! You provide the love, we will continue to provide food, vet care, preventative meds, and supplies. All American Mix. His mama appears to be a Boxer mix. We think they may potentially have some pitbull terrier, lab, hound. We try to limit our travel time for home visits to a two-hour driving range (about 75 miles) from Morganton, NC.
