Story
Meet Rhianne — lovingly called “Annie” — a 4‑year‑old, 38‑lb Lab/American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a heart made for companionship and calm!   Quick Facts: Name: Rhianne (Annie) Breed: Labrador/American Pitbull Mix Age: 4 years old Weight: 38 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes (with certain cats) Good with Kids: Yes (she would love to have kids in her future home!) Energy Level: Low to medium (big cuddle bug) Fence Required: No   About Rhianne’s Breed: Our best guess is that Rhianne is a Labrador/American Pitbull mixed breed. Lab/Pit Bull mixes are known for their affectionate, people‑oriented nature and their wonderful blend of loyalty, intelligence, and emotional sensitivity. They often form deep bonds with their families and love being part of a calm, predictable household where they can relax and feel secure. Many have a naturally gentle, cuddly side paired with a steady, grounded temperament that makes them incredibly comforting companions.   Their ideal home is one that offers peace, routine, and patient, loving humans. They thrive with families who enjoy quiet time together, appreciate a lower‑energy dog, and can provide consistent reassurance without a chaotic environment. A home with respectful children, calm dogs, or even as an only pet can be perfect, as long as they’re surrounded by kindness and stability. With the right match, Lab/Pit mixes become deeply devoted, snuggly, and wonderfully steady family members.   What to Love about Rhianne: Rhianne “Annie” is the definition of a low‑key best friend. She loves her people deeply and is happiest lounging, recharging, and soaking up the peaceful rhythm of a cozy home. Fast‑paced, high‑energy dogs aren’t her style — she’d much rather be the star of the show or share her space with fellow mellow pets who appreciate a relaxed lifestyle.   One of Annie’s sweetest quirks is her habit of “building a scent nest.” She gently gathers her people’s shoes (never chewing!) and tucks them into her blanket pile before curling up for a nap (see the pictures as evidence!). She has wonderful house manners, sleeps soundly through the night, and is fully potty trained and crate trained — though she’s so trustworthy that she can be left alone uncrated without any barking, whining, or mischief.   On walks, Annie has excellent leash manners. She may watch squirrels with curiosity, but she stays calm and never pulls. She’s low to low‑medium energy, and a couple of short walks or one nice stroll a day is plenty for her. She loves being around her people — not in a clingy way, just in a “life is better together” way. She especially adores kids and hopes her forever home includes children to love!   Annie can be a little skittish around men at first, but she warms up quickly with gentle, calm interactions. She would thrive as an only pet or with other dogs who share her laid‑back vibe. She recently met a cat while leashed and was very interested — not aggressive, but curious — so a cat‑friendly home may depend on the cat’s personality.   If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing cuddlebug who brings peace, warmth, and a touch of adorable shoe‑collecting charm into your home, Rhianne is ready to be your perfect companion!   Rhianne’s Ravishing Highlights: 4‑year‑old, 38 lb Lab/American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a gentle, easygoing personality A true low‑key companion who loves lounging, relaxing, and being near her people Thrives as an only pet or with other calm, mellow dogs who match her energy Has the adorable habit of creating “scent nests” with her people’s shoes and blankets (no chewing!) Excellent house manners — fully potty trained, crate trained, and trustworthy when left uncrated Sleeps soundly through the night in a crate, on a blanket pile, or snuggled in bed Wonderful leash manners; calm on walks and doesn’t pull, even when watching squirrels Adores kids and warms up quickly to gentle, calm adults; may be briefly skittish with men at first Low to low‑medium energy — happy with a couple short walks or one nice stroll a day Sweet cuddle bug who brings peace, comfort, and lots of love to a calm, cozy home   Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We assist with coordinating transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!April 22, 2026, 5:26 pm

Story
Murphy is a sweet boy who loves treats, sticks, water and anyone that will give him attention. He's an energetic 16 week old chocolate lab. He potty-trained and crate trained very quickly. He loves being outside but also loves sleeping in his crate, as long as he has something to cuddle up with to and keep him company. He retrieves anything you throw for him and easily learned several commands/tricks. He loves walks/hikes and exploring the outdoors. We purchased him from a breeder that owned both mom and dad, so he is AKC registered and comes from a strong line of hunting dogs. He is very friendly with other dogs, but seems to think cats are a toy to chase. Our cat of many years has not been happy with his arrival. My kids, who he was purchased for, have proven to not be "dog people." We also have very busy sports schedules that take time away from him. We are seeking a fun and loving owner for him that can give him the attention he seeks/needs and the love he deserves.
