Story
Lucy is an adorable little 9-lb. girl who is in need of her forever home. She came to us from Animal Control... we are guessing her age to be around 10-years, even though she acts more like a 5 or 6-year-old. Lucy is a friendly girl and likes both adults and children. She gets along with the other small dogs in her foster home, but she barks at the big dog. She doesn't interact very much with the other dogs, so we feel that she will do well in either a single-dog home or with another small dog. Lucy's a little 'Velcro dog' and wants to be right next to her person or in their lap. Lucy walks well on a leash and enjoys going for walks and car rides. She is housetrained and crate trained, but has to be let out often, so a home with a fenced yard will be best for her. Lucy is current on her vaccinations... Dist/Parvo, Bordetella and Rabies. She is spayed and microchipped, tested negative for Heartworms, and had a dental cleaning. She is on Heartguard for Heartworm prevention. Lucy also has dry eyes and needs eyedrops... one drop in each eye every day. When we rescued Lucy from Animal Control, we were told that she had a UTI, but it turned out that she had bladder stones. She is now fully recovered from her surgery and is finished with all her vetting. Her veterinarian feels that she should stay on prescription dog food to guard against future bladder issues... fortunately, she's not a picky eater, and loves her food! Lucy's adoption fee is $400.00 Lucy is a loving, sweet, and smart little girl who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that you would like to add Lucy to your family, please submit an application by going to our website foreverhomek9rescue.org for an application and email the completed application to us at foreverhomek9rescue@yahoo.com. You can also submit an application by going to: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption/ (cut and paste). Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family. The fee is refunded if the adoption does not work out within the trial period. We want to be sure that each of our pets will have their perfect 'forever' home! Although Forever Home Canine Rescue adopts out-of-state, we never ship or transport our pets. An approved adopter must come to North Carolina to meet their new canine companion and then take him/her back home with them

Story
This is Bianca and Brad, and they are ready to bring a whole bunch of joy and happiness into your house! Bianca and Brad are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Bianca is a pit-mix, intact female (spay pending) that is around 2 years old and weighing 45-50 pounds, and Brad is a Maltese, intact male (neuter pending) that is around 2 years old and weighing 17-20 pounds. They both were found in October 2023 roaming near the Winston-Salem airport as strays and have been in our care ever since. While under our care they have been treated for fleas, ringworm and hookworm and have overcome all those issues and are currently on Heartgard preventative chews. Our intent was always to foster and help them find a new home and that's where you come in! Both dogs are very well adjusted to car rides, big time attention fiends, and they are both very good with people. They have not been around many other dogs and cats, but when they are they get very excited and want to play with them no matter what size. Bianca will try to jump on you to get pets (something we are trying to curtail) and Brad tries as well and will even try to jump on chairs or any other elevated surface to get closer to you. Bianca loves to play frisbee and fetch sticks, but only when she wants to. Brad tries to play alongside her but his size and speed don't really allow that to happen, so he'll sneak some pets in while Bianca retrieves the object thrown. On that note, Bianca gets a little jealous when Brad gets pets so she will attempt to butt her way in so as not to be left out, but it's not a vicious jealousy just one where she wants what he's getting. They both enjoy going on walks though we are working on better leash behavior. Bianca especially likes roaming and crossing paths and even steps over Brad, but he doesn't seem to mind. Brad will find a squirrel and fixate on it from half a mile away but after a little nudging he will forget it and continue onward. We walk them together because they are a bonded set and separating them (either on purpose or on accident) does seem to stress them if it's for longer than say 20 minutes. They do have a slight track record of chewing on things they are not supposed to however we are convinced this is because they are bored and need more face time with people, so adopters should be able to dedicate a lot of attentiveness to them in their new home. With their age and their temperament, they are definitely above average energy dogs but they do well inside or outside and would make a lovely addition to yours and your family's lives, and they would be very appreciative of you for giving them a second chance at a forever home! If you are interested in adopting Brad and Bianca, please complete an adoption application on our website at hsdavie.org
