Story

Meet Nola – A Gentle, Smart Girl Who Loves to Run, Cuddle, and Be Reassured Quick Facts: Breed: German Shepherd / Husky Mix Age: 2 years Weight: 45 lbs House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: No, but does well left alone without one Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Moderate Fence Required: Yes – minimum 5 ft recommended Special Traits: Smart, affectionate, athletic, gentle, loves reassurance and lap time Why You’ll Love Nola: Sweet, affectionate girl who loves being close and cuddling in your lap Smart and eager to learn, picks up new things quickly Friendly with adults, kids, dogs, and cats Enjoys walks and outdoor time but is also happy relaxing on the couch Gentle, loving nature with a playful side once she feels comfortable About Nola’s Breed Mix: German Shepherd/Husky mixes are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and athleticism. They tend to be very people-oriented, enjoy having a purpose, and thrive with both mental and physical stimulation. Nola reflects the best of both breeds—smart and capable, yet affectionate, gentle, and deeply connected to her people. Nola’s Story & Personality: Nola is a loving, sensitive girl who bonds closely with her people. While she can be a little shy at first, she warms up quickly with gentle reassurance and kind guidance. Once she feels safe, her affectionate personality truly shines—she loves to be loved on, seeks closeness, and enjoys both playtime and downtime. She’s mostly leash trained and enjoys going on walks, but she also appreciates a cozy couch session afterward. Nola is very smart and eager to learn, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys interacting and engaging with their dog. Because she can jump a 4-foot fence, a secure 5-foot or taller fenced yard is important so she can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. With the right setup, Nola will thrive as a happy, balanced companion. Nola’s Ideal Home: A home with a secure fenced yard (5 ft or taller) where she can safely run A family or individual who enjoys both walks and relaxed cuddle time Someone patient and reassuring who will help her continue building confidence A home that values affection, connection, and gentle guidance Other pets are welcome—she does well with dogs and cats Ready to Give Nola the Love She Deserves? Nola is a beautiful blend of intelligence, gentleness, and affection. With the right home and a little reassurance, she will be a devoted, loving companion who brings both joy and comfort to your life. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description.

Even at a young age, Journey is already showing the curious mind and attentive nature typical of shepherd-type dogs. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, he’s expected to grow into a devoted, well-mannered companion who enjoys learning and being part of the family. Journey’s Story & Personality: Journey is a young puppy just starting out in life, and his name fits him perfectly. He’s learning everything for the first time—housebreaking, crate routines, leash basics, and how to navigate the world around him. He’s currently healing nicely from a wound on the top of his head and mouth, and it hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He’s playful and inquisitive, always checking out new toys and watching what the other dogs are doing. Journey can be a bit vocal when he wants attention, but he’s also comfortable spending time in his pen area, entertaining himself. He enjoys cuddles, being held, and bonding with his people, and he’s doing well meeting adults so far. Like all puppies, Journey will need patience, structure, and guidance as he grows—but he’s off to a great start and eager to learn. Journey’s Ideal Home: • A family ready and committed to raising and training a puppy • Someone patient with housebreaking, crate training, and leash training • A home where he’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and structure • Another friendly dog would be a bonus but not required • An adopter excited to guide a young pup as he grows and learns Ready to Start a Lifetime Journey Together? Journey is just beginning his story, and he’s looking for a family who wants to be part of every step.

Story

Meet Gypsy — a 12-year-old, 50 lb German Shepherd mix with soulful brown eyes and a heart full of love. Quick Facts: Name: Gypsy Breed: German Shepherd Mix Age: 12 years old Weight: 50 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: No (doesn’t need one though) Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Hasn’t been tested Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Low (couch potato extraordinaire) Fence Required: No About Gypsy’s Breed: Our best guess is that Gypsy is a German Shepherd mix. Senior German Shepherds are loyal, intelligent, and affectionate companions who mellow with age, becoming calmer and more easygoing. While they may slow down physically, their devotion and protective nature remain strong, making them wonderful pets in their golden years. Despite entering the senior phase of their lives (between 7-10 years old), German Shepherd retain their wisdom, loyalty, and gentle temperament, often becoming more relaxed and less energetic than in their younger years. With proper care—like a senior-friendly diet, gentle exercise, regular vet visits, and a comfortable environment—they can continue to thrive and bring immense love and companionship. Gypsy is the definition of a perfect lady. She’s potty trained, calm, and trustworthy in the home without a crate. At an adoption event, she charmed everyone she met, soaking up pets and attention with her gentle nature. She adores children, gets along wonderfully with other dogs (including her foster siblings), and with her easygoing personality, she’ll likely do well with cats too. Gypsy’s Glowing Highlights: House trained, no crate needed Dog- and kid-friendly, loves everyone she meets Gentle energy, enjoys slow walks and cozy naps Loving companion, happiest on a comfy bed or cuddled beside you Low maintenance, easygoing and well-mannered Ideal home: a calm, loving household where she can feel safe and cherished Gypsy may not chase balls anymore, but she gives something far more valuable—unconditional love and companionship. With her warm brown eyes, gentle spirit, and affectionate nature, Gypsy is ready to spend her golden years as your devoted cuddle buddy and loyal friend!

Story

Beckham is a three-year-old, 55-pound, German Shepherd and Black Mouth Cur Mix. FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED. Beckham is 3-year-old German Shepherd and Blackmouth Cur who weighs 55 pounds. If football icon David Beckham had a dog, we’re pretty sure he’d be a lot like our Beckham. With his classic British name, his ruggedly handsome face and those ever- alert ears, Beckham is an up-for-every-adventure kind of boy. Like his soccer-legend namesake, Beckham just naturally draws a crowd of admirers. Affectionate, playful, brave, and loyal, this smart boy is always ready for a game of ball, a good walk, a spin in the car or just a snuggle on the couch. With so much goodness in his nature, you might ask, “What is Beckham best at?” The answer is simple: Beckham is best at being your Best Friend! And while Beckham can be perfectly content with just you, he will also thrive with an active family, a big, fenced yard and (if it’s not too much to ask) a playful lady dog. Trained by one of the best, Beckham is an absolute joy and had excellent house, crate and leash manners, as well as basic commands and overall happy behavior. So, if you’d love a bit of British flair and fun in your life, please don’t wait. Come meet Beckham today. And let the games begin! Beckham is not part of CrisisDogsNC. This is a courtesy posting on behalf of his foster. This dog is available and everything we know about this dog is included in the dog's description. We are only able to respond to questions once a completed application is received https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. We do not respond to questions about our dogs sent through email or social media. Excellent vet references and a virtual home visit required. Your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We transport by land or air whenever possible. Unless there is definitive documentation our breed and age assessments are based on visual appearances.November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

They thrive when given a job, a purpose, and a consistent routine. With their natural protective instincts and keen minds, they form strong bonds and are known for their bravery and focus. A shepherd mix like Adonis brings all of that loyalty and heart—plus a little uniqueness that makes him truly one of a kind. Adonis’s Story & Personality: Adonis has had a rough start in life and is looking for a calm, stable home where he can finally feel safe. Because of his breed and past trauma, he’ll need someone who understands shepherd behavior and is willing to earn his trust over time. Once he knows you’re safe, this boy has so much love to give. He enjoys fetch and outdoor time and would likely thrive with another friendly, submissive dog who can help build his confidence. While he’s not the kind of dog to dive into a crowd or warm up instantly, Adonis has a sensitive soul and is incredibly rewarding to bond with. Adonis’s Perfect Home: A patient, dog-savvy adopter (preferably with GSD experience) A calm environment where he can adjust at his own pace A fenced yard for play and exploration Another calm, submissive dog could be a great match A forever home that values loyalty, patience, and trust-building Ready to Give Adonis the Life He Deserves? Adonis is waiting for someone who sees past the fear and into the heart of a dog who just wants to feel safe and loved.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Any WICKED fans out there? This fine gent is named Fiyero, he is a sweet guy and a giant fluff ball. He was a stray for about a week and no owner stepped up or came forward. He can be cautious at first but once he realizes you mean well, he’s all about you! One of our volunteers took him inside cause he was out in the cold and he’s done well. Definitely has things to learn, we are unsure if he was dumped but its possible. So far he has met some other pups and the cat through the kennels and hasn’t reacted really, just seems unsure. He appears to be one that will need slow introductions! He enjoys toys and his favorite show is Clifford! Fiyero enjoys being out side and will jump up and hug you also! So far he has not had accidents inside and is crate and leash trained. Who can give this fella his forever home so he can continue… dancing through life! We do believe Fiyeros adopter needs solid experience with German Shepherds! He is spot on for the personality!
