Grapevine

Chihuahua Pointer

Female, 9 yrs 1 mo

Wake Forest, NC

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS *** Say hello to this senior sweetheart, Grapevine! She is a friendly, calm girl who prefers a bit of independence rather than being held, at least for now. Lots of TLC is due her way and in time, she will continue coming out of her shell. In fact, after a week with her foster mom, she has decided that perhaps she might be learning to be a lap dog! Grapevine must not have had the kindest lot in life prior to coming to Saving Grace, as she seems to be experiencing so many new things for the first time in her foster home. She's learning about potty training, and is doing well when taken out regularly. This gal enjoys going outside for short periods of time, but seems to know to use potty pads if she can’t wait. She's a smart lady who will come to you when she wants to be picked up or to soak in some couch snuggles, and she is learning to love being loved on in her own time. She is definitely curious about her human and will follow you around the house to see what you’re up to. Crate time is no problem, as Grapevine sleeps very well in her crate and will occasionally go in just to chill and have her own quiet time. Grapevine is a lovely and loving girl who would love to find her forever home that comes with extra patience, and possibly a lower energy sibling. We heard through the grapevine that she just might be scooped up soon, so make an appointment to meet her today!

Story

Don't let that white on her chin fool you, Shelley is cute as a button and as fun as a firecracker! Shelly is an adult beagle who weighs about 21 lbs now and she is a solid girl. With a reddish coat, this little short legged lady has been nothing but fun and adorable since her arrival. She is great with other dogs, loves to explore with her nose and is sure to settle into home living easily. Snuggle bug at heart, Shelley would love a home with beds to snuggle, laps to sit on and a medium energy expenditure to be living her best life. Does that sound like just the girl you're looking for? We've got her!

Domina

Husky

Female, 1 yr 5 mos

Wake Forest, NC

Size

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

Details

Story

Husky hottie alert! Petite, gorgeous (eyes that go on for days), soft and fluffy, smart and witty...Domina is everything husky lovers are looking for. A younger adult, Domina weighs about 39 lbs now and is mostly fully grown. This walking cotton ball of a gal may not have had much contact with suburban life but she is just about ready for Hollywood with these looks. Domina is a smart and active girl as her breed mix would indicate and she would love some people who will engage her mind and body on a regular basis. She can be unsure of new things, as much of the world of suburbia is still new for her, but will adjust quickly and learn the routine with ease. She does well with other dogs but in true husky form can be very independent as well. Sweetness, we suspect a dollop of adorable sass, and smarts are all mixed in this beauty. Don't just take our word for it....see for yourself.

Missy

Beagle

Female, 1 yr 5 mos

Wake Forest, NC

Size

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

Details

Story

Missy is a fun-loving, affectionate girl with just the right mix of playful and cuddly. She is crate trained but will never turn down the chance to curl up on the couch and snuggle with her favorite person. One of her cutest habits is “collecting” toys—if you peek into her crate, you’ll usually find a hidden stash she’s borrowed from her doggy friends when they weren’t looking. Missy is very food motivated and always tuned in for the next command, making her eager and easy to train. She seems to be fully house trained and had zero accidents in the home or her crate when kept on a schedule. She loves a good game of tug, whether it’s with people or other dogs, and she gets along great with both small and large pups. Missy greets her people standing up on her back legs (it’s unbelievably cute—pictures don’t do it justice!) and travels well in the car. With her sweet nature, playful spirit, and loving heart, Missy would make a wonderful companion for just about any home.

Ryan

Labrador Retriever

Male, 2 yrs

Wake Forest, NC

Size

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

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looking for a true stunner? Meet Ryan Ryan is a Terrier/Pitt mix with an absolutely awesome reddish coat and cool white markings that turn heads wherever he goes. This 53-lb adult guy is confident even with all the hustle and bustle at Saving Grace—nothing rattles this handsome fella. He’s affectionate, people-loving, and very much the type who likes to know exactly what’s going on at all times (supervisor energy, for sure). If you want a smart, confident companion who’ll keep you company, keep tabs on the action, and happily soak up your love, Ryan is ready to step into the spotlight as your new best friend. Sleepover Host Feedback: "Ryan was the absolute sweetest boy and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog to host for the weekend. He adjusted super well to being in a new environment, with me and my dog. He was great with my dog and they got along extremely well. Only had a few accidents in the house, chalking up to new environment and the cold weather. There is no doubt in my mind that he would adjust quickly in his forever home and with a routine schedule. When we went for walks, he was a little skittish at any noises, but as the weekend went on he gradually got more comfortable. The crate is definitely his safe space and he would curl up in there to relax. Overall, Ryan is the most gentle giant who just wants all the love. If you want the best cuddler, with the most love, and the warmest eyes, than Ryan is for you! " Latest Sleepover Feedback: "We have done a handful of weekend hosts over the last few years. We’ve had some great dogs and puppies. But Ryan, this boy is the best!!! Such a sweet boy. Super friendly. LOVES to snuggle. And respected our dogs and their space. Unfortunately, our younger dog (4yrs) is hard to please with new dogs and she lets them know it. Ryan caught on quickly, never pushed anything when it came to her or her space. All dogs ran around in the backyard and played well outside together. Even with the snow, we were able to go for a few walks and Ryan did so well. He walks well on a leash. He slept through the night in his crate and didn’t have one accident in the house. He was actually great about sitting next to our side door to let us know when he needed to go out. I seriously can’t say enough great things about him. If one of our dogs wasn’t so selective of others, I would adopt him in a heartbeat. He’s the best boy."

Details

Story

Erin is a fun, energetic young girl who seems to be right in that in-between stage of puppyhood and her teenage years. She’s curious about everything and still likes to nibble and explore with her mouth, but she’s working on learning her puppy manners with much enthusiasm. Erin feels very safe and comfortable in her crate and sleeps quietly through the night. When meeting new dogs, she appreciates a little time to warm up, but once she’s comfortable, she loves to play—especially with dogs her size or smaller. Her play style is bouncy and playful, full of happy jumps and excitement. Erin was often so excited to play that she didn’t slow down much for cuddles, but her playful spirit and eagerness to engage really shine through. With a little time, consistency, and continued guidance, Erin is sure to grow into a wonderful companion who will balance playtime and affection beautifully.
