Mandy was in a crowded kill shelter with her 10 puppies when we reached them all. All her pups have found homes but Mandy is still looking for her forever home. Mandy is a sweet girl that really wants a home of her own. She's great with other dogs but may not be good with cats. She's the youngest dog we have at our house and is bored with all her senior friends! She's really wants a playmate and a home to call her own. Mandy is crate trained, housebroken and fully vetted.

Story
"There is a gentleness in her eyes that I see. I hate to see healthy, non-aggressive animals euthanized". That was the email we received about weeks ago in regards to Eleanor. She was on her last day and no other rescue had stepped up to take her. We were really her last chance. 1 week later, and here she is with us. We named her after the finest car in "Gone in 60 Seconds". And, truly, if she got off her leash, she would be gone in about 0.6 seconds! Eleanor is painfully shy and scared but lets us love on her and doesn't try to get away. She does well in a crate. She needs work..lots of it, but in her eyes, we see hope too. She is not currently for adoption but can be sent to an experienced foster home. Reach out to us via email if you are interested in fostering Eleanor. She is a diamond in the rough.

Story
Meet Sweetie, a 5-year-old German Shepherd. She was found wandering the streets after being mistreated by some neighborhood kids who threw rocks and poked her with sticks. Despite everything she’s been through, Sweetie’s heart is still full of love and hope. The moment we brought her home, she showed us just how gentle and resilient she is. She deserves a second chance at a safe, loving forever home. Sweetie is good with calm, respectful adults. She likes going on walks, laying in the sun, and getting belly rubs. She would love a home with an experienced owner who understands the needs of a dog with a tough past and can give her the love, patience, and care she deserves. She would not do well with young kids or other female dogs — she prefers a quieter, steady environment where she can feel safe. A fenced-in yard is a must for her, as she loves being outdoors but needs a secure space. Sweetie is potty trained, crate trained, and up to date on her rabies vaccine. She’s a smart, loyal girl who just wants to feel safe and loved. If you have room in your heart and home for a dog who’s ready for a fresh start, Sweetie is waiting to meet you.  Sweetie is located in Winston Salem.  If you would like to adopt Sweetie, please contact Darian at:  dbec561@gmail.comBlue Moon Shepherd Rescue only adopts to applicants in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.  If you are interested in being considered to adopt this dog, please fill out an online application by clicking here.   June 27, 2025, 10:30 pm
