Burlington, NC

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I bought Missy from a college student when she was 3 months old. She was already potty trained and has never had an accident. She loves attention from everyone and gets along well with all animals she has met to date. She loves to eat so that has to be monitored as she can become a chunky monkey very fast. She does have an eye condition which i guess is common with the bred. She gets prescription eye drops in her eyes twice a day. She is up to date on all shot. She has never been checked for heart worm, nor has she ever gotten medications for heart room … this is due to my choice after reading some very bad things that can happen from the medication.

Story
Meet Ewok — a 14lb black Shih Tzu mix with the shape and charm of an adorable little sack of potatoes. At approximately 10 years old, he may be a senior by age, but his spirit definitely didn’t get the memo. Ewok is sweet, loving, and still full of surprising puppy-like energy. He’s good with other dogs, crate trained, mostly house trained, and heartworm negative. Ewok would thrive in a home where he can enjoy nice daily walks to help regain his figure and a fenced yard where he can happily zoom around and burn off some of that joyful energy. Whether he’s waddling beside you on a walk, curled up nearby for a nap, or trotting around like he owns the place, Ewok brings a perfect mix of cozy companionship and playful charm. He’s ready to spend his golden years being loved exactly as he deserves.

Story
Stella was found in a nearby county. Her hair was matted to her skin and she had part of of window screen matted to her backside. We feel Stella was a breeder dog who was dumped when she was no longer useful. Stella will need a patient adopter, preferably one with another small dog. She warms up slowly to her human and will need someone willing to give her time to blossom into the sweet, loving girl we know she will be.

Story
Coming in at just under 9 pounds, Armadillo is the absolute definition of a lap dog! If there is a cozy spot next to you, hes already claimed it. Snuggles are his love language, and hes happiest when hes curled up with his people. Armadillo is fully potty trained and has excellent house manners, making him an easy companion to bring into your home. Hes also a big fan of adventures, especially car rides. The moment he hears the keys jingle, his tail starts wagging! Hes gentle, affectionate, and ready to be someones constant sidekick. If youre looking for a small, loving companion who will happily join you for errands, road trips, and all the couch-time snuggles, Armadillo might just be your perfect match.
