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**

These pups are in Winston Salem, North Carolina too!

Story
Meet the sweetest little girl on the planet... Rylie! Rylie is a 7 year old Jack Russell Terrier, who was surrendered by her owner, when she decided she no longer wanted her. I will never understand how this happens to so many animals! Rylie is housetrained and crate trained. She plays well with other dogs. She cannot be with cats. She will chase and corner them. We do not know how she is with children. Rylie weighs 12#. If Rylie is placed with another dog, they will need to eat separately. We aren't sure why she doesn't like to share food, as the owner didn't tell us anything. Otherwise, she is a dream dog! Rylie is now up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention. She is also on flea/tick prevention too. She is now spayed and chipped. If interested in adopting, please go to our website below and complete the application. https://acfrescue.weebly.com/adoption-foster-and-volunteer-applications.html Adoption fee: $295
