Story
Cinnamon is a 6 month old, 25 lb Feist mix with a whole lot of sparkle and the happiest puppy personality! Quick Facts: Name: Cinnamon Breed: Feist mix Age: 6 months old Weight: 25 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes (likes to play!) Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes (best with school-aged kids that she can’t knock over) Energy Level: High, very playful Fence Required: No Dog's Location: Fremont, NC About Cinnamon’s Breed: Our best guess is that Cinnamon is a Feist mixed breed. Feist mixes are known for their bright, energetic, and quick thinking nature, often blending the Feist’s traditional hunting instincts with a playful, affectionate temperament. They’re agile little athletes with sharp minds, making them fun, interactive companions who love exploring, learning, and staying busy. Many Feist mixes are deeply people oriented and thrive when they can be part of the action, whether that’s playtime, training, or simply being near their humans. Their ideal home is one that offers structure, activity, and positive guidance. Because Feists tend to be high energy and curious, they shine in environments where they can run, play, and engage their brains. A family that enjoys daily walks, outdoor adventures, and consistent training will help them grow into confident, well mannered dogs. They do well with respectful children, active doggie siblings, and homes that appreciate a spirited, affectionate companion who loves to be included. What to Love about Cinnamon: Cinnamon is all play, all joy, and all heart — whether she’s zooming around the yard, chewing her favorite toys, or curling up for cuddles with her humans! She is an active girl who’s eager to learn how to be the best puppy she can be, and she responds well to direction. She has a confident, dominant play style and is always ready for fun! She loves people and greets everyone with enthusiasm, but because she’s still learning her manners and can be a bit rough in play, she’d do best with kids over 7 who can handle her bouncy energy. Cinnamon would thrive with a doggie sibling who enjoys active play, though she’d also be perfectly happy as an only dog soaking up all the affection. She’s great with dogs who match her energy and does well with the cats in her foster home! Cinnamon is potty trained and crate trained, settling nicely when left alone. She’s also learning her leash manners — she pulls a bit because she’s excited to explore, but she’s improving every day. With her zest for life, love of adventure, and cuddly nature, Cinnamon is ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless puppy fun to her forever family! Cinnamon’s Sensational Highlights: • 6 month old, 25 lb Feist mix with a bright, happy personality • All puppy energy — loves to play, run, chew, and cuddle • Active and eager to learn — takes direction well with consistent training • Confident, dominant play style and always ready for fun • Best with kids 7+ due to her bouncy, rough and tumble play • Dog friendly — thrives with energetic playmates but also happy as an only dog • Does well with the resident cats • Potty trained and crate trained • Learning leash manners — pulls from excitement but loves adventures Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We assist with coordinating transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!  October 29, 2026, 9:53 pm

Story
Holy batman! Cuteness has arrived and it is in the form of a little Feist mix named Libby who brings the "b" to beautiful. A wonderful sized teen, Libby weighs about 23 lbs now and may grow a little more but not lots. She has the prettiest coloring and ears that move up and down like radar depending on her level of interest and excitement. Libby is a friend to all of the other dogs and has lots of puppy energy and would adore an active family and things a doggo friend would be the bees knees. Libby would do best in a home with a fenced in yard and the companionship of a buddy to help show her the ways of the suburban dog world! Libby will be lap sized for most of her life and therefore will bring some of the benefits of a smaller dog while still totally having the can do of the bigger ones. Don't take our word for it, come meet this cutie for yourself.

Story
Billy is a 30‑pound merle Feist come Catahoula Leopard dog mix with a coat that looks hand‑painted. He’s a dappled mix of warm tan and chocolate brown as well as gray and black decorating his mottled coat. He’s a great size being compact enough for easy adventures, but sturdy enough to keep up with whatever life brings. His perky ears stand at full attention as he takes in his surroundings listening to every sound and investigating every new smell. Billy starts off a little shy and unsure, but there’s a spark of curiosity in him especially when other dogs are around. He shows real interest in making new dog friends and his gentle social curiosity is a good sign of the confident boy he’s working on becoming. Billy is looking for a family who can help him build confidence and offer him a soft, safe place to land. With patience, love, and encouragement, he’ll be an amazing sidekick. Is he the perfect match for you? Come meet him today and find out! **Hiker feedback: " Billy was a great hiking buddy today! He had plenty of energy and kept a happy, steady pace the whole hike, rain and all. He walked nicely on the leash with no pulling, and while he’d occasionally get distracted by something interesting he was never needy about it and was always easy to get moving again with a little encouragement.

Story
That's a face that say, "Here I am. Come adore. Proud to be here. More than handsome." Clue doesn't even have the smallest one how cute he is but he is waiting for his best people to show him! Clue is a young adult Feist shepherd mix who weighs about 27 lbs now and may have some more room to grow. He is a combination of shy and unsure as well as happy, playful and joyful. Clue does really well with other dogs and would love a friend to play and help show him the way. Clue can be unsure of himself in new situations and around a lot of chaos so would do best in a home without small children and with people who are eager to work with his to build his confidence so that he can take on the world. Clue is ready to clue you in on just how cute he can be! Weekend Host Feedack: "Clue is a heartwarming guy. He’s timid at first but relaxes when he starts to feel like things are safe. He spent the weekend snuggling on the couch, sleeping in the sun and taking lots of short walks (he gets a little spooked at noises/people sometimes and wants to go back inside). He seemed to enjoy his food, water, toys and treats. He did great in the car and in the crate at night. He’s learning about house life with humans and I think any patience he’s offered will be rewarded times 100. He’s a sweetheart. Clue shared happy tail wags and lots of kisses. Thank you, Clue!"

Dewey is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve had. All he wants to do is be cuddled and go on walks. We rescued him when he was a puppy 6 years ago and he’s been great. We just have two kids now and I travel a lot for work. Dewey doesn’t get the care and attention he once did.

Story
Meet Blue, the teeny-tiny Chi who is ready to bring a whole lot of flavor to your life! True to his name, this little guy is sharp, delightfully energetic, and sweeter than a slice of gourmet Blue cheese. He is the ultimate package deal: equal parts playful adventurer and master cuddle bug. During the day, you can find him happily zooming around with his littermates, tackling toys, and making the absolute most of playtime. But the moment the action winds down—or the second you sit down—Blue is always the very first one to scamper over and claim his rightful spot as the king of your lap. Don't let his tiny frame fool you; this little Chi has big brains and a huge appetite for learning! Because he is still so small and young, Blue will need a devoted family ready to help him master basic puppy manners, from crate time to leash walking. The great news is that Blue is wildly treat-motivated, making training a breeze when there are tasty rewards involved. When the sun sets, this sweet boy turns into a total dream sleeper, resting quietly all night long tucked in with his littermates. If your life has been feeling a little plain and you are looking for a sharp, fun-loving, and deeply affectionate mini companion to spice things up, Blue is ready to melt your heart! 🐾 If you are interested in Blue, click Apply for Adoption!

Story
Meet Ludo, a tiny gentleman with a whole lot of love to give. This 2-year-old Chihuahua takes his job as your shadow—and pint-sized bodyguard—very seriously. Wherever you are is exactly where he wants to be, preferably curled up on you on the couch. Ludo can be shy and a little skittish when meeting new people, so he appreciates a little patience while he warms up. Treats are a great way to win him over! Once he feels comfortable, his sweet, silly personality starts to shine. Ludo is equal parts sweet and silly. His favorite things include his Lamb Chop plush, chasing a ball, and apple bits, which he considers a very exciting delicacy. He’s fully house-trained, sleeps like a champ in his crate, and is growing more confident on his leash walks. Don’t let that little concerned face fool you: Ludo is a total love bug. He’s ready to bring his funny little strut, devoted companionship, and expert cuddling skills to a family of his own.

Story
Meet Colby, the little big-eyed heart-stealer of the Cheese Litter! He might be named after a mild cheese, but Colby is full of sharp, big personality. As the smallest guy in the bunch, he proves that the best things really do come in tiny Chihuahua-sized packages. One look into his big, bright, soulful eyes, and you’ll instantly see why this pint-sized pup is impossible to resist—he’s truly a cut above the rest! He’s a fun-loving puppy who absolutely adores playing with his toys, and he definitely has the most to say out of the whole litter! Colby loves sharing his cute little opinions during playtime, but when the day is done, this sweet block of cheddar settles right down and sleeps quietly through the night alongside his littermates. Because he is such a tiny guy, Colby is looking for a forever home dedicated to helping him with the basics, like mastering his leash skills and learning good potty manners. If you’re ready for endless sweetness, playful antics, and a little Chihuahua who is guaranteed to make your life a whole lot cheesier, Colby is ready to fill your home with love!
