Story

Mellow is the best Cuddler I have ever known. He will snuggle wherever he can fit in. He takes a little while to warm up but he will soon be wagging his tail for you. He hasn’t been around kiddos much so I am unsure if he likes them or not. He is very much an only child and I recommend he goes to someone who can provide him with plenty of stimulation, affection, and attention. He does have a brother of a different breed and they get along just fine however Mellow is rather territorial and that has posed concerns. I have no interest in being paid anything I just pray that you have the purest intentions and will give him the pampered life he deserves. Thank you so much for reading this! I hope Mellow is your soulmate!

Story

Hi! I am a sweet little guy that came to OCAS from another shelter. I`m very friendly and I did great with my intake exam & vaccines. I do have dental issues and OCAS recommends that you follow up with a full-service veterinarian for advice about that and other genera/routine care, especially since I am a senior. I deserve all the best and I`ll make you smile every day if you adopt me!Foster notes on Tanner:`Tanner is a very sweet and energetic boy! He is fifteen years old but does not act like it at all! He does not like to walk up a lot of stairs (or can`t) and needs help getting up in a bed or couch. Other than that he likes to run and walk and try to chase after geese. He is not a fan of cats and would probably be best in a house that doesn`t have any. He loves to cuddle and snore in your face. He requires that he gets under the covers to be little spoon. He loves a pup cup and to ride in front seat with the windows rolled down. He is very quiet and would make a great companion to anyone!``Tanner is a friendly, affectionate dog. When I take him for walks he is very energetic. He doesn`t heel, so you have to accept that he will scamper here or there, pulling on his leash. This is not so much of a problem, however, because of his small size. Tanner is a very quiet, gentle dog. He only barks when he sees another dog. Whenever he wants attention he has a sweet way of placing his front paws on you and gazing at you.`

Story

This pet was brought in as a stray and will NOT be available for adoption through our program. All stray animals brought in are posted on the gallery to hopefully be reunited with their families. Each pet is evaluated upon arrival, and throughout their stay, at the Animal Center and we do our best to place the animal in the setting most appropriate for them. Sometimes, they may be better served through one of our Transfer Partners due to the intervention needed, ongoing care required or a quieter setting for that individual. We want our animals to put their best paw forward. If you are a 501c3 rescue and are interested in partnering with WCAC to help this pet, and others, you can find more information on how to help at: https://www.wakegov.com/departments-government/animal-services/community-partners/transfer-program If this is your pet, please contact us immediately at AnimalCenter@wake.gov Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black
