Story
Smudge is a big guy with such a delicate demeanor. Having spent his life outdoors smudge is learning what it is like to be loved and adored amongst a real family. His body tells of a rough life, missing 2 toes and buckled at his wrist; Smudge walks with a slight limp favoring his previously injured foot. Our vet team was surprised to learn from X-rays his 2 toe bones are completely missing causing him to compensate at the wrist. He had tested positive for Lyme disease having not be properly protected by his previous home. Yet despite all he has to overcome this boy is a true gentle giant. He walks gracefully on a leash simply happy to have you nearby, adores children of all ages, he loves to be an integrated part of the family. It seems he has longed for that for so long. Smudges responses to everyday situations breaks our hearts, he will cower with raised voices, lower himself with fast motions and try to show his stomach to you in appeasement. We don’t know everything this big guy endured yet are working with him to build his confidence. When Smudge is feeling protected and brave his tail starts to wag, his body language becomes taller and looser. His entire body wags with joy to see people, he showers your with kisses and will quickly accept all the pets you are willing to give. Smudge enjoys our company more than any dog in our program. We can’t help but think he spent so long hoping for such attention. Transparencies are important to us; on walks Smudge prefers the scenic route where he can sniff and claim every blade of grass as his which makes for a comical sight and leaves us wondering just how much more fluid could he possibly possess. Smudge enjoys the company of other dogs, happily will strut alongside them. He is not a huge fan of wrestling yet loves to be in their presence all the same. He is definitely a calmer laid back guy. In the home Smudge is a self declared kitchen assistant, laying all 65lbs of himself right where you plan to walk hoping something may find its way to the floor. He is definitely a foodie! This guy might be large yet is as gentle as they come, he is tolerant of others dogs bully ways and will cower to them vs standing up for himself. We would love to find him a home where he no longer has to be bullied, taken for granted yet where he will be cherished and adored for the amazing boy he is. He would do best in a single level home. Smudge is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and preventatives. He has been microchipped and is being treated appropriately for his positive Lyme diagnosis which will be over soon! If you think your family is ready to welcome such an amazing boy into your home please complete an application on our website. It’s not often dogs like Smudge come around, he’s going to be one you will compare every dog too. https://www.secondchancenc.org/adopt-a-pet/dog-adoption-application/***Please Note: All the available dogs listed on our website are getting spoiled in private foster homes. If someone has caught your eye and you wish to arrange a meet and greet, we do need you to fill out the adoption application.

Story
Olivia is a fabulous happy girl who is called "Pony" at home because of her happy prance! She knows sit, come, and lay down and is super smart. Found stray, she takes more time than most dogs to get comfortable in a home .... but once she realizes you're her person, she will do her happy prance and get right in your lap for pets! Olivia's cautious nature does have her go on guard at people coming inside - even folks she knows .... She will bark a few times to alert you of a change in the home (so no apartments or townhomes). If it is a stranger or someone she's not comfortable with, she likes to retreat to a safe spot away from the visitor! MUST HAVES: a fenced yard as she is still a ball of nerves on a leash so is being walked short distances with double leashing for safety * A playful dog who can help her continue to build self-confidence * No small children as their busy nature keep her on alert * Time for at least one DAILY brushing. Olivia loves toys and bones - she will empty a toy basket one by one, picking them out and relocating to her bed! She is house and crate trained - and indifferent to cats! We are working on filling out her figure: she ideally should weigh about 50 pounds.
