Story
Gum (Goom) is a 3 year old German shepherd. He came into our family as a birthday gift to our son. They are inseparable. He is very protective of our son and now his baby sister. He is a great companion, he loves to be around his family at all times as that’s when he is happiest. Gum is an energetic and playful dog, always ready to play or go on a walk. He loves chasing a ball, long walks and hanging outside. Gum will do best in a home where he is the only pet. He is great with our children but I would slowly introduce them to others because he might get too excited and bark or jump on them. A fenced backyard would be best for him so that he does not roam and a loving family that can be home or with him most of the time rather than leaving him on his own.

Story
Meet Lady! Lady is an affectionate, playful Shepherd/Australian Kelpie mix with a fun personality and a whole lot of love to give. She loves playing ball, romping in the yard, and gently herding her foster siblings. Once playtime is over, she’s ready for belly rubs, snuggles, and hanging out with her favorite people. And if you have apple slices, you’re already off to a good start! Lady does well with other dogs after slow introductions. She can be protective of her home, so she also needs slow, patient introductions to new people. Give her the time and space to feel comfortable, and once you earn her trust, you’ll see just how loving and loyal she can be. She continues to warm up to her foster dad and adores him when foster mom isn’t available. Men may take a little longer for her to trust, so patience is important. Cheese, apples, and a good game of fetch certainly don’t hurt! Lady is very smart and a quick learner. Her house training is going great with no accidents so far, and she even taught herself to ring the bells when she needs to go outside. Lady is looking for someone who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time. Give her patience, consistency, and the chance to trust you at her own pace, and you’ll have an incredibly loving and devoted best friend.   Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you.

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Meet Vanna. Vanna is an approximately 4-year-old, spayed and vaccinated German Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She’s playful, affectionate, and very much a “velcro dog” who loves being close to her people. Once she bonds with you, she’s happiest by your side, whether you’re relaxing at home or heading out for an adventure. Vanna has medium energy levels and would thrive in an active home. She loves playing fetch and going for walks, and she’s great in the car, making her a fun companion for outings. At home, she’s been trusted to free roam and isn’t destructive at all she just wants to be near her favorite humans. When it comes to other animals, Vanna is best suited as the only dog in the home. She can be playful with very well-matched dogs (generally larger dogs around 90 lbs or more) as long as there are no resources to guard or compete over, and she’s good at picking up cues when another dog is done playing. She’s not a fan of smaller dogs and can sometimes be reactive on leash depending on how other dogs behave toward her, so continued leash work and training will be important. The good news? She does great with dog-savvy cats! Vanna is reserved with strangers at first but remains friendly and warms up with time. She hasn’t been around kids yet, but she may do well with older children (12+) who can respect her space and boundaries. She currently doesn't have stairs where she lives, but will likely have no issues with them and settles nicely into a home routine. Like many dogs who’ve been through a lot, Vanna is still working through some challenges. She has experienced significant trauma and is actively working on negative behaviors around other dogs. She has some resource guarding issues with food, toys, and people, will need continued support with leash manners, and is still polishing up her potty training with the occasional accident. Vanna is also crate trained. With patience, consistency, and understanding, she has so much potential to continue growing. Vanna is a loyal, loving companion who just needs the right home…one that can give her structure, reassurance, and plenty of affection. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will stick by your side through it all, Vanna may be your perfect match! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?
