Pepper is a loving girl once she gets to know you. She has anxiety and is on anxiety medication. She has problems with resource guarding and would be best suited to being the only animal in the home. We have a 7 month old baby that she has been around since his birth. She needs a lot of patience and alot of love that we are unable to give her due to our growing family.

Story

Meet Maggie, also know as Mooshie. She’s about 7 years old and is from a rescue in the mountains of NC. She is very kind and affectionate with humans. Maggie would do well with a young active person and as the only dog in the house because she engages in resource guarding (safeguards toys, her human and holes she digs from other dogs). She walks well and needs lots of exercise. She is part border collie and smart, agile and fast but has never been food motivated (she is toy and praise motivated). For the right person, she would be the ideal dog. This person would be active and walk, run, hike, bike etc… with her a minimum of 2x/day, keep her mind engaged with toys and dog training and just love her and let her love them. She just wants to be with you and cuddle and play and go on walkies. She is scared of storms and crate trained (but haven’t used it in years). She will dig in the backyard if she does not get enough exercise and mental stimulation.

Story

Hi humans! My name is Princess. I thought I had a forever home but it just wouldn`t stick so I`m back in these kennels once again. Here`s what you should know- I`m a sweet and playful girl who deserves the forever kind of love. It`s looking like I`ll be happiest as the only dog in the home and the jury is still out when it comes to me having any future friendships with cats. I think we`ll have to learn the rest about each other as we go- are you in?!

Story

Ello again... In case you forgot, I'm Gretzky. I've been in foster care for a long time now and I've really got a good schedule down. I'll tell you about it if you want.... First I wake up and am excited to go potty outside. It's one of my favorite times and I may bark or nip your butt with excitement. Don't worry, I'm not /that/ excited. I just really have to pee. Then I come inside and lay on my beddy. It's my favorite spot. Unfortunately, I'm what my foster calls 'a babe magnet.' This means my canine and feline roommates will come to snuggle in my beddy with me, even in very warm temperatures. I don't understand it either. So we spend the next several hours rotating beddies until lunch, when we go back outside. Much sleeping is had. And snacks. Then the garage door opens and my room mates and I loose our collective minds because foster M'mam is home! I love her. And it means we get to do the best thing ever: walkies. I love pooping when I'm on a leash. I love walking. I don't need to smell anything, I don't care. I just like to walk. Especially in the woods! Sometimes we will see people on our walk. It makes me very nervous. Sometimes they will ask to pet me. I tell them 'No Thank You' by desperately trying to get away from them. Then I am edgy the rest of the walk. What if they secretly pop out of a bush to pet me?? Sometimes my foster M'mam will lock me in the bathroom and pet me. I've gotten used to this strange habit, but I don't really like it. Then, after food smells (sometimes I get veggie scraps to chew on) and screen time, I get my pill treat and it's time for bed. I bet you thought I forgot snack and drinking breaks. I didn't. After the lights go off, I remember I need water to survive and chug all the water. Then I vomit out the extra. Then, I will often drink the extra off the floor. I don't want to make a mess. This is probably why I'm so eager to pee in the morning. So that is my life. It's way better than it was. My foster keeps trying to push me to do bigger and better things. But it's hard! I need someone with patience and who won't expect too much from me... I won't expect much from you either! I just want walks and to feel safe and protected.

Hello! Miss Mars here, already begging you for more attention! I absolutely love pets and scratches and cuddles. I’m a big ol’ couch hippo and I’d love to watch all of your favorite shows with you, especially if there’s going to be snackies. Give me something to chew on and I swear I won’t go for your shoes, pinky promise. Unless you leave me home alone, unkenneled, then I might have a little taste. What?! Don’t knock it until you try it! As much as I have enjoyed my time with my foster sister, I want to be the star so if you have another dog, it’s just not meant to be. Kitties are chill though! I’ve been in foster care for most of my life, and while I’ve loved my time with my foster fam, I’m really want to find my forever person. Come meet me and let’s play! I’ll even show you a trick or two!

Story

Hey, hey! Milo here- just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? My life is going pretty dang great, however I am missing one thing. It’s a family to call my own! My last mom owned me since I was just a puppy until now. She could no longer care for me so I found myself as an orphan… I wasn't socialized much as a young pup so I am more of a one or two person kind of dog. I am up for any adventure that involves just spending time with me! I love laying on the couch watching Netflix, a good football game or a nice long walk. I found myself stuck to my foster mom like her little shadow, but she has lots of other shadows too so I want to find my own family. I get along with all dogs as long as they are respectful of my age and size, I don't mind cats at all either. Fast moving kids will not be my thing, they are just so unpredictable and loud. I love to be cuddled and snuggled. Sleeping under the covers is a must as my hair is so fine I get cold easily. I have mastered this potty thing and haven't had accidents in weeks now! I am off leash trained but only to my one or two special humans. If you think you could be one of my special humans- apply for me today! You can apply for me at: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt Name: Milo DOB: 5/5/19 Weight: 17 lbs Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex: Male Altered: Yes Adoption: 400 Good with Cats: I don’t mind kitties! Good with Dogs: Yes, of course. Good with Kids: Older, calmer kids preferred. Special Requirements: None *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member.
