Story
Meet River! Born around November 2024, River is a Shepherd mix with a stunning brindle coat and an equally beautiful personality. Playful, curious, and loving, he’s the kind of companion who’s always ready to make every day a little brighter. River enjoys toys, Kongs, walks, treats, and spending time with his dog friends. He loves being outside where he can explore, stretch his legs, and take in all the sights and sounds around him. He’s also known for his fun personality — if a toy squeaks or a treat bag rustles, River makes sure he doesn’t miss out on the action! He’s both house and crate trained, uses a dog door nicely, and has good manners around the home. River is friendly with other dogs and would love to have a playful companion or a family who enjoys including him in their activities. He walks well on leash, knows his basic commands, and is eager to learn new ones — he’s always ready to please and earn a “good boy!” River would be a wonderful fit for an active individual or family with older children. A fenced yard where he can play and explore would be a bonus, but he’ll be just as happy joining you for walks and adventures. Loyal, smart, and full of heart, River is ready to bring joy and love to his forever family. River is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped.

Story
Charlie is 8 years old, I got him from a breeder when he was a puppy. Due to human allergies, I unfortunately have to rehome him. But I would love for his new family to be experienced with German shepherds. He is smart and loving, loves to play with a squeaky Kong ball, and Enjoys playing catch with it outside. He is calm most of the day, until you start playing with him, then he will have all the energy in the world. He loves rawhide bones. He is very treat motivated. Potty trained and house trained. Basic commands trained (sit, stay, come, lay down, paw, stand, bed, leave it, drop it) Does not destroy items, except his toys. He loves giving you kisses, he’s very sweet and loving to people he is used to, as a German shepherd he is protective, so introduction to new people is necessary. He is not good with kids. So new owner has to be with no kids.

Story
Meet Cherry! Cherry is a 2-year-old black German Shepherd mix and one very special mama. She recently welcomed 11 beautiful puppies in late November and has been an incredible, attentive mom to her little crew. Her puppies will begin meeting adopters starting January 10th, and Cherry will also be ready to start her own search for a forever home at that time. Cherry is an absolute sweetheart with every human she has met. She has a gentle, loving personality and truly enjoys people—one of those dogs who makes you feel instantly welcome. Because Cherry has been focused on caring for her puppies, we haven’t yet been able to fully evaluate her with other dogs, nor have we confirmed her crate or house-training status. That said, nothing in her behavior so far has raised concerns, and her foster reports she has been calm, affectionate, and easy to handle. Cherry has spent the last few months being the best mom she could be—now it’s her turn to be spoiled in a home of her own. If you’re looking for a loving, people-friendly companion with a heart as big as her paws, Cherry may be the perfect match. If you are interested in adopting Cherry, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age.   **Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. ** December 29, 2025, 11:48 am

Story
Holly is wondering where her forever family is. She's a sweet puppy going on around 5 months old. We think that Holly is a Dutch Shepherd mix or maybe a Cattle dog mix. Holly would love an active family with a fenced in backyard that would give her the appropriate amount of exercise and training. She's not terribly hyper, but puppies need exercise. And just look at those ears! Currently Holly weighs 25lbs and is just the cutest girl ever! If you think Holly might be a good fit for your family, then please fill out the adoption application on our website https://www.pawsitiveimpactncdogrescue.org/adopt ##1883952##
