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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website."Let’s Get This Party Started!" Hi! I’m Finn! I’m 6 months old and a solid 30 lbs of puppy energy. I heard someone say I’m "rambunctious," which I think is just a big word for "really good at having fun!" I’m a social butterfly who loves meeting new people and discovering new smells. I’ve got a lot of personality packed into this medium-sized body, and I’m ready to share it with you! Why I’m a Great Teammate: I’m Ready for Anything: Want to go for a hike? I’m in! Want to play in the yard? Say no more! I’m outgoing and always ready to be your right-hand man. I’ve Got My Manners: I’m already crate trained, so I know how to settle down and relax when it’s time for a break. I’m Good to Go: I’ve had my shots, my vetting is all done, and I’ve even got a microchip so we can stay together forever. I’m looking for a family who wants a buddy to grow with. If you have a ball to throw and a soft bed for me to crash on after a long day of play, we’re going to be best friends!

Story
Name: Jollie Estimated Birthday: 8/30/2025 Breed: Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Adoption Fee: $365 Jollie is a 14-week-old Chihuahua mix with a sweet heart, a playful spirit, and the sweetest puppy curiosity. She’s currently about 5 lbs and is expected to be around 18 lbs when fully grown. Jollie was found as a puppy, and she’s been settling into foster life with all the classic puppy charm. Jollie is an active, playful pup who loves toys. She is also friendly—though she can be a little timid at first. She warms up quickly and is truly a loving little girl once she feels safe. Like most puppies, she’s still learning her manners and routines and will need continued training (potty training, leash skills, and basic commands). She is working on potty training and is already learning how to tell humans she needs to go—when she starts making little circles, it’s her cue that it’s potty time. She’s already doing well with her crate routine and sleeps in her crate each night. She has been friendly with other dogs and has shown no signs of food/toy aggression. She is a gentle puppy who just needs a little confidence-building and consistency. If you’re looking for a loving, toy-obsessed, slightly shy-at-first puppy who will blossom quickly in a forever home, come meet Jollie! Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

Story
Name: Hollie Estimated Birthday: 8/30/2025 Breed: Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Adoption Fee: $365 Meet Hollie! She is a 14-week-old Rat Terrier mix with a big personality in a tiny package! She’s currently about 5 lbs and is expected to be around 18 lbs when fully grown. Hollie was found as a puppy and has jumped right into foster life with that classic happy, bouncy puppy energy. Hollie is active, playful, and very friendly, and she warms up quickly to new people. She’s also been friendly with other dogs. Like any young pup, she’s still learning the ropes—training is a work in progress, and she will thrive with a family ready to keep up with puppy basics (potty training, leash skills, manners, and lots of positive reinforcement). She is crate-trained and sleeps in her crate each night. Hollie will be an awesome fit for a human (or family!) who’s excited to help a smart, energetic puppy learn and grow. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic little sidekick, Hollie is ready to meet you!
