Tart's deepest desire is to be with her people—she will happily follow you and cuddle up wherever you go, ensuring you always have a soft, warm companion.

August

Husky Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos

Wake Forest, NC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

He's honestly a man for all seasons, but August is coming in hot as he is fast, handsome and smart all in one package and that is summertime hot! August is a husky come shepherd mix who is an adult weighing about 42 lbs now full grown. August loves to run and is an active dude looking for active people and he ain't afraid of no adventure either. August does well with other dogs though prefers to be the big man in his friend groups. This man is the total package of fun, love and brains and will prove a great companion for people who thrive on the unique characteristics of his breed mix. It might be winter that's a'coming, but August will bring in the warmth to these cold nights! *Sleepover Feedback: "August was the sweetest, most wonderful dog for the weekend! We were so blessed to host him. He would take note of and react to other dogs on our walk - not at all aggressive or loud - seemed like he wanted to play! He’s a bit timid to get in the car initially, but once he’s in, he settles down quite easily. He is a fantastic sleeper. Overall, August is such a warm, loyal, and cuddly companion." *Additional feedback: "August’ name sums him up so well; he is warm, energetic and his sunny disposition feels like a hug.August settled into our home very quickly, displaying manners while still letting his personality shine. He is full of energy and enjoyed our long walks and city exploration". Weekend Host Feedback: "August was a joy to have. He immediately became best buds with my shepherd mix, Daisy. They played hard and slept well the entire weekend. He settled extremely well around 10 both nights to go to bed. With that he did amazing in his crate both nights and only whined once he heard me get up in the morning. He did really well on the leash. He learned/is learning to not jump for treats and to sit, but he is an extremely fast learner and seems eager to impress. He didn't pull beyond the initial getting out the door on walks both with Daisy and by himself. He seemed to love car rides, and doesn't seem to lack any confidence. The only time he barked the entire weekend was when someone passed directly outside the glass door to my backyard."

Lionel

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

Wake Forest, NC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Brindle in a bodacious package with a special little bit of everything is the recipe for what makes Lionel so special. Lionel is a pit bull mix adult dude who weighs about 60 lbs now and has a gorgeous brindle coat. It's quite likely nothing about Lionel's life has been easy so far and some prior trauma of some sort has left him with a bit of a head tilt that we wish he didn't have to endure, but by golly makes it seem like he is forever interested in what you are saying as he looks at you lovingly. Lionel is a precious soul who has just the right amount of energy but also can settle down and enjoy the slower things in life as well. He does well with lots of his doggo friends and does like to play a bit raucous at times as he s still a young man. That being said, Lionel is a dog's dog and is not going to fit into a home with cats. Pampering, believes Lionel, should be in his future and he could settle easily into many homes and certainly including the ones who love a pit bull love of snuggles and disregard for their size versus the size of your lap. Lionel is ready to roar on into your heart.... *Sleepover feedback: "We had a wonderful time with Lionel. He is a very sweet and loving boy. He seemed very comfortable with us. I hope he had a good experience like we did with him. Thank you for allowing us to host him. It’s a terrific program". *Additional feedback: "Lionel is the best boy. He is very sweet and snuggly. He did well on the leash and during the car ride. He seems to be potty trained. He did not love the crate, but really enjoyed sleeping on the couch / bed. He slept in late and did not wake us up to go outside too early. He is very quiet and loves meeting new people".

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Look who made it to Saving Grace? Steppenwolf! This bouncy little heartthrob is ready to rock your world with his irresistible mix of playfulness and snuggles. True to his name, Steppenwolf will jump straight into your arms for a cuddle, hop down for a quick play session, then circle back for more love—on repeat. His tail is always wagging, his whole body wiggles with joy, and his stunning tri-color coat makes him stand out wherever he goes. Just under 1 year old and about 20 lbs, this lab retriever mix still has some growing and lots of learning to do, but he’s eager, affectionate, and oh-so-ready for someone to show him the ropes. If you’re looking for a happy companion who loves equally to snuggle and to play, Steppenwolf is your guy! *Sleepover feedback: "He is one of the friendliest dogs I’ve ever met. Every single human is immediately his best friend. He is also very playful with other dogs. On walks, he is very observant and curious with new smells and noises. Even though he is young, he did not mess the house once. He figured out very quickly where he was supposed to go potty, and was very efficient when outside. He is a very loving, playful dog".

Story

Aptly named...Jive will have you dancing in your boots cause this mini hound is joy dogified and is ready to move on into your heart and your home. Jive is a young adult hound mix who weighs about 26 lbs now on the lean side. Jive is SO much fun. He loves the other dogs and would easily fit into a home with others of all sizes (both human and dog alike). He is young so has a young dog energy but would be amused by all kinds of things. He joined the hiking team within 24 hours of arriving meaning he learned quick how to walk on a leash. Jive adjusted to his arrival at Saving Grace with the ease that he will adjust to being in your home. He is great in his crate and just a fun little guy to make your bestie! Dance them happy feet down to SG and make this guy your own.
