Story
If you are looking for an intelligent friend, a loyal ptotector, a strong athlete and a cuddler, you should meet Summer! She is a 3-4 year old spayed, 75# Rottweiler mix looking for her forever home. She is a handsome, funny, confident girl who loves her person/ people. Summer was stray in Western NC when she wandered up Summer is a ‘lazy’ athlete- she wants a pool to lounge in after she hikes, plays ball, trains. She loves practicing Nosework ( Scent Work). She is food motivated and a good learner. She does tend to get over-excited about wildlife & unfamiliar dogs & will overwhelm animals smaller than her. She has met children but has not lived with them & can be a little unaware of her size & strength. She will thrive with people who are committed to continuing her training as she forgets her manners when she gets excited. Let her be the center of your household & hearts and in exchange she will make you laugh & she will be a fun, loyal, loving companion.

Story
MEET WILMA (called Fiona by her foster)! Her foster writes the following: Meet Fiona (fka Wilma)! Fiona was born on 2/26/2025. She is an adorable Rottie puppy who had a hard start. Fiona was allegedly attacked by another dog when she was just a couple months old and sustained injuries that caused her to lose her right eye and suffer a broken jaw and orbital socket. Her eye was successfully removed and her jaw is healing. Despite these life-threatening injuries, she is the happiest, sweetest, goofiest puppy ever! She loves all people and all dogs. She has a super long tail and is already 40+ pounds at approximately 17 weeks old. She’s going to be a big girl. She walks well on a leash and is doing well on potty training. She sleeps peacefully in her crate all night without crying. She is super smart too! She can sit for her food and for treats. She is very food motivated and should be easy to train. She gets a little excited about food and can get a little growly but we are making great progress on this. With her jaw, she does struggle to open her mouth fully but doesn’t seem to struggle to eat or drink. Fiona (or FiFi as we call her) loves to do typical puppy stuff like play with toys, dig holes, carry shoes off into the yard, wrestle with her foster sisters, etc. She follows her foster mom everywhere! Her favorite playmate is her foster sister Maddy who is another Rottweiler. They just “get” each other. She tries to play with her chihuahua sisters but she’s a little rough for them and likes to swat at them . She’s okay with smaller dogs but her preference would be another big dog. Won’t you give Fiona the home she deserves? Please adopt her so she can begin her lifelong journey as your best friend! Fostered in Apex, North Carolina. ** ADOPTION DETAILS: At this time, due to the size of our rescue, adoptions are limited to NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, VIRGINIA and +/-6 hours from Raleigh, NC. ADOPTION FEE: Our total adoption fee is $400, including a non-refundable $25 application fee.

Story
Hey there, it's me, Stitch! I'm a big bundle of fun and affection, always ready to play and looking for my forever family to adventure with. I'm a friendly girl who just loves to be involved in all the family activities — I even tried to help decorate for Christmas (whoops!). I might be a little on the heavier side, but that doesn't stop me from tearing around with my favorite red ball. I'm a real catch if I do say so myself — a gorgeous block-headed, 100 plus-pound pup with a heart as big as my, well, head! I'm estimated to be around 4 years old, and I can't wait to find my forever family to call my own. Could it be you? Come on, let's play! STITCH is spayed, UTD on vaccines and heartworm negative. She is dog friendly but best with large breed males due to her size and enthusiasm. Crate trained and house broke. 96 pounds at her last vet check but unfortunately she has gained weight. Currently fostered in Apex, North Carolina. ADOPTION DETAILS: At this time, due to the size of our rescue, adoptions are limited to NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, VIRGINIA and +/-6 hours from Chapel Hill, NC. ADOPTION FEE: Our total adoption fee is $400, including a non-refundable $25 application fee.

Please only apply if you have kept your current and previous dogs up to date on vaccines and on heartworm preventative.

Story
Meet Cashew! 🥜 Cashew, handsome brindle Boxer mix, is a 2-year-old sweetheart who has never met a stranger. Whether he’s joining you for an outdoor adventure or settling in beside you while you work from home, Cashew is happiest just being part of the action. Cashew is house and crate trained and has the perfect calm, easygoing energy for both relaxing at home and getting outside for some adventures. He’s also cat friendly! When it comes to other dogs, Cashew would do best as your one-and-only pup or with a neutral, confident sibling. He can get very excited when he spots another dog, so a little patience and thoughtful introductions will help set everyone up for success. At home, Cashew loves his toys and is a light little chewer, making him a great companion for some quiet playtime. And if you catch him in a deep sleep, you may hear a little snore—or even witness his jowls doing an occasional sleepy ruffle. It’s pretty adorable. 😂 Cashew is also a big fan of treats, and we’re working on helping this handsome guy put on a little weight. With his sweet personality, easygoing nature, and love for people, Cashew is ready to find a family who will show him just how good life can be. Apply to adopt Cashew today!

Story
9 months old • Male • Chocolate & White • Now Casting: Forever Family ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A tour de force.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Unforgettable.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “That face deserves an award.” At only 9 months old, Romeo has already delivered the performance of a lifetime. With his striking chocolate-and-white coat and an expression capable of conveying profound disappointment without saying a word, Romeo doesn't simply enter a room—he commands the screen. Critics are raving: “He is judging nonstop, his gaze is piercing right through your soul, he is disappointed with whoever he is looking at, that's the best pic ever I've seen in this game yet...” — Michael Nevermore Romeo's signature stare has been described as haunting, powerful, and remarkably effective at making you reconsider every decision you've made since breakfast. But behind the serious leading-man expression is still a 9-month-old puppy with a whole life ahead of him. Romeo is ready to trade critical acclaim for something even better: a forever home, a family of his own, and a starring role in somebody's life.
