Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there! I’m Ollie, and I’m looking for my Best Friend! Hi! I’m Ollie. I’m 6 months old and weigh about 26 lbs, which my foster says is the perfect size for "medium-sized" snuggles. I’m mostly done growing, but I still have plenty of room in my heart for you! I might look like a regular puppy, but I’ve actually got a secret: my nose is shaped like a heart! I think it’s because I’m made of 100% pure sweetness. Why I’m the Goodest Boy: I’m a Cuddle Professional: While other puppies are busy being "spunky" and running in circles, I’d much rather be right by your side. I’m very affectionate and my favorite place in the world is wherever you are. I’m a Star Student: I’m already crate trained! I know that my crate is a safe spot for naps, and I’m very patient when I’m in there. I’m Healthy & Ready: I’m all caught up on my vaccinations and have had all my age-appropriate vetting. I even have a microchip, so if I ever get lost, I can find my way back to you! My Wish List: I’m looking for a family who likes belly rubs, gentle ear scratches, and cozy evenings. I promise to be your most loyal companion and to greet you every day with a wagging tail and a heart-shaped boop. Do you have a spot on your couch (and in your heart) for me? submit an application at https://www.arrfnc.com/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Hi.

Story

Meet Tommy. He's an 11 lb bundle of affection and playfulness. He loves toys and could run and play outside all day. Enjoys going for car rides and does well around our old cat. We got him when he was a puppy almost 3 years ago. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed 2 years ago with a rare progressive lung disease. I have to travel across state often for medical care. My husband also travels for work. Tommy is left by himself alot. Caring for Tommy has become difficult for me due to diminished breathing and poor lung capacity, I can't walk Tommy or play with him much. It's starting to affect his personality. You can tell he's very lonely. Tommy is a sweet boy and a great little sidekick. Want to ensure he'll go to a home with lots of love and outdoor space. We have a crate for him, toys, bowls, food, and treats. He knows some commands and is house and crate trained (as long as he goes out 3x per day) Not sure how he'll do with other dogs. May be skittish at first but warms up to treats.

Story

**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION!!** 1-29-26::"Hello everyone, my name is LIL BIT and it fits me so well! I am a little bit of a doggie, weighing in at just 11 pounds, and I am full of sass and attitude! But that's not such a bad thing, AND I do need an owner who will understand that I am not a perfect dog--yet. Allow me to explain: I came to this great rescue with 2 of my housemates, after we were found abandoned on the streets, fending for ourselves. A nice Animal Control Officer came and rescued us, but while my 2 housemates were fine with everyone at the shelter, I was a little harder of a nut to crack. The shelter asked my Mom if she would consider taking all of us, and she didn't hesitate one minute, so here I am! Now, it was a little rough going for the first few weeks--I had to be picked up with a towel, but once picked up I was OK and will cuddle, but don't try picking me up without that towel! My Mom worked so hard and slowly with me, to show me that she wasn't so bad, and BINGO, it paid off--I can now be picked up without the towel, and no snapping!! I just need my potential adopter to know, that I will need that extra time to adjust, and to please allow me that time and not give up on me! I am good for my grooming, with the occasional nip, but I mean no harm. Mom says that I am about 3 years old, am spayed, chipped, current on my vaccines, heartworm negative, along with house/crate/leash trained. I do need a home with no small children, and I am good with other dogs, but cats I don't know" "Do I sound like a girl you'd like to have in your life, and have the patience to work with me a few weeks till I adjust, not give up on me right away? I promise I am worth the wait! If interested, email my Mom at citizens4animals@yahoo.com for an application or any questions you may have about me. PLEASE DO NOT call the number on here, email, as emails are constantly monitored! My adoption fee is $300.00 to cover all my current vetting" "Till we meet" Love, LIL BIT **GOOD VERIFIABLE VET REFERENCE REQUIRED**

Charleston

Rat Terrier/Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 2 yrs

Raleigh, NC

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Charleston is a gentle, sweet soul who’s been quietly settling in and showing a little more of himself each day. While he’s still on the shy and calm side, you can already see his confidence beginning to bloom—and we can’t wait to watch his personality continue to shine as he gets more comfortable. This thoughtful boy loves lounging on the couch where he can keep a watchful, loving eye on his person. He’s a big fan of treats (a great motivator!) and has already mastered his Sit and Down commands—pretty impressive for a pup who’s still finding his footing. Charleston is wonderful on a leash and enjoys his walks, greeting folks he meets along the way with a friendly, easygoing demeanor. He’s the kind of dog who seems to take everything in stride, preferring a calm pace and steady companionship. Charleston may still be learning who he is, but one thing is already clear: he’s a loving, loyal companion in the making. Stay tuned—this sweet boy’s story is just getting started, and we’re so excited to learn more about him in the days ahead.
