Story
Name / Breed  / Age: Rowan,  Great Dane, 3yo Personality Traits: Affectionate, Resilient, & Food-motivated Likes / Dislikes:  Loves snuggles, car rides, and mealtime. Dislikes crate, unfamiliar situations, and missing meals! Health and behavior history:  Up to date on vaccines, dewormed, spayed, & possible microchip. Heartworm positive and receiving treatment. **Rowan is/was Heartworm Positive and PIPs has started her Heartworm treatment. If this treatment course isn't finished by the time she is adopted the treatment will be paid for by PIPs at one of our approved vets.** Rowan is such a sweet girl.  She's the epitome of a velcro Dane -- she gets attached quickly and loves with her whole heart.  She's still a little nervous from her extreme change in living situations over the last few weeks, but she is adjusting quickly and well.  She does not care for a crate, so if you're looking for a dog who can be crated during the day, she probably isn't it.  She does do well out in the house and (so far) is not destructive at all -- as long as there is nothing edible out!  This girl LOOOVES her food and will sniff it out if it's available.  She came from a neglect situation, so she is a little bit nervous at first but she warms up quickly and enjoys nothing more than snuggles.  She does pretty well on a leash and amazingly well in a car.  Rowan loves a car ride!  You can see from her pictures that she's a little bit underweight, but we're working on helping her gain weight healthily.  She is also heartworm positive, but again, we're working on getting her healthy.  If you're looking for an amazing companion dog -- Rowan is your girl!  She is great with kids and all dogs.  She hasn't met a cat yet, but she does not appear to have a strong prey drive. ##2180226##

Story
Athena is the sweetest, 100lb cuddle-bug you'll ever meet. It breaks our heart to need to re-home her, but she does not get along with other dogs. She is loving and loyal. She is a purebred blue dane who would be perfect in a home without other pets. She's a covid puppy, so she has some separation anxiety- when you're home she wants to be on top of you:) If you're sick and tired of wasting your money on weighted blankets, then Athena is the answer to all your problems! Fantastic guard dog (big bark) but a giant softie (never had any issues with a bite). We've had her since she was born from a breeder, and given her daily joint supplements so she is perfectly healthy. She turned 4 in april and is up to dates on all her shots. She needs a home full of love but without other pets- she's got so much love to give she doesn't want to share you:) Adoption fee will go to pet shelter rescue of your choosing

Story
Meet super sweet Birdie. A great dane, Birdie came to us after she ate most of a mop head and needed emergency surgery. We still have what came out of her if her perfect human wanted for the memories... but word of advice, don't leave anything she can eat that could cause blockage out around her unsupervised. Other than that, she is perfect. Housetrained, good with other animals and people of all shapes and sizes. She is a year old and currently around 90 lbs but she will grow a bit more. If you think she could be your girl, please read below and fill out the on line application. ( she is spayed, stomach tacked, all vaccines, heartworm negative) RECOMMENDATIONS & PROCEDURES Please note, the following are recommendations for puppies and different breeds of dogs. We will evaluate each application on an individual basis to see what is best for the dog/puppy and the potential adopter. Puppies are very fragile and not toys. We recommend children be at least six years old to be considered to adopt a puppy. Small breed dogs ( such as chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus , etc) we recommend children be at least eight years old. Herding, working breeds we recommend children to be at least 12 years old. Again these are recommendations. Adoption Procedures: We will travel up to two hours ( one way) to do physical home visits and we do not do virtual home visits. ( we are in Cleveland County NC) Most of our dogs come from bad situations and we want to know where their forever home is going to be. While we do not require fencing on all dogs, certain dogs that need a fenced in yard, will not be adopted unless potential adopter has one. We also adopt some dogs to people who live in apartments ( as long as the landlord approves) but not all dogs. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age. We also do not feel college students are the best fit for most of our dogs. Most of our dogs again, come from bad situations and need lots of attention. Most college students have financial responsibilities and we feel need to be focused on school. Our goal is to match the dog with a family that fits the dog’s needs. We are solely focused on what is best for each dog in our rescue. These dogs have had enough moving around, dumped out like trash, and we want to ensure they find their forever home. We do require you sign a contract and if at any time you cannot continue to provide for the dog, the dog comes back to the rescue. Your first step to adoption is filling out our on line application. You will then get an automated email stating we got your application Next our adoption coordinator will be in touch either by phone or email If your references check out, a home visit will be scheduled. After the home visit is done, a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in and/or any other available dogs we have will be scheduled If the dog and you are a match, contract will be signed and you may take your new family member home.
