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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Minnie has special needs, please click on her photo to read her bio prior to applying.Minnie isn't perfect, but she's pretty close.  When she entered foster care, we had a long list of health concerns to address- issues that had been ignored for some time.  Thanks to the generous donors of CARE, and to her foster family and veterinary team, she now has the ability to find her forever home.  We have done the ground work to provide info to Minnie's future humans so that she can live a (mostly) normal life.  Minnie is such a wonderful dog, one of the best we've had the pleasure to meet- she is almost perfect.  Minnie has epilepsy.  Her condition is being managed with daily medicine, but she will need experienced humans who are willing to continue to manage her medical needs for life.  We have no doubt that she will be the very best addition to a home, our only challenge is finding an angel to continue her care and ensure it is never an afterthought again.  She requires humans who are ok with affording her regular vet visits, medications, and grooming.  Someone willing to manage her condition, and keep her safe.   She would do best with a fenced in yard (physical fencing appropriate for a toy breed), and a home where her humans are not gone for long hours.  All children in her forever home must be 10 or older.  She would prefer a home that is on the quiet side, and routine is a plus.  She is wonderful with both dogs and cats, and would love another small breed dog (she adores small breed males) to spend her days with.  An experienced dog family is a must, one that has experience with special needs dogs- is preferred.  If you think you may be a great match based on her requirements, please apply.  We will provide more detailed info to those families that may be a match.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 18, 2026, 3:00 pm

Story
The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, you MUST contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com directly. There is an application process and adoption fee. ----------- Oliver is a 20-pound Shih Tzu with a little extra fluff and a whole lot of personality! This bright, happy 1-year-old boy is full of fun and energy.  Oliver loves his toys, lives for his zoomies, and has a playful spark that will make you smile every single day. Don’t let his good looks fool you. Oliver is more than just a pretty face. He’s smart, attentive, and doing great with housetraining. He is eager to listen and learn from his people. Like his namesake from Oliver Twist, this sweet pup started life with humble beginnings after being orphaned at a rural SPCA, but his story is turning into something wonderful. He has young puppy-like energy and is ready for a forever home filled with love, laughter, and maybe a few squeaky toys along the way.  Oliver has been cooperative for baths and grooming, which is such a plus!  Oliver could be an only dog or have another dog in the home who weighs under 25lbs. Oliver has not started leash walking just yet. Oliver is very strong and tends to get underfoot, so he would not be a good fit for someone with balance issues or a senior citizen. The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD.  The secure fence must be attached to the home, 4 feet or higher with gaps with no larger than 3 inches.  An invisible fence, enclosed patio or terrace without grass, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions. We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business. Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. Adoption Fee: $500January 27, 2026, 3:33 pm

Story
**AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS ** Total Adoption Fee: $895 This includes our standard adoption fee of $395 plus an additional required $500 tax-deductible donation. Why the additional donation? Dogs with highly desirable traits—such as low-shedding coats and popular breeds—help us fund lifesaving care for dogs who need it most, including nursing moms, imaging and surgeries for dogs with traumatic injuries, and medications for those requiring lifesaving heartworm treatments. Your generosity makes this possible! Meet Perse...... While Perse is undeniably adorable (both before and after his trip to the groomer), he sports a healthy dose of attitude and expects to be treated like the star of the show. To live his best life, Perse must be the only dog in an adult-only home. He has no desire to share his treats, his toys or your lap with other dogs. Perse has excellent house manners when kept on a consistent schedule and spends his downtime happily curled up in a comfy bed or searching the house for a warm, cozy blanket. Don't let his selective nature fool you—this boy is full of life and loves to stay active. He is always up for a walk and truly enjoys chasing balls and playing with his toys. Once you are in his inner circle, you’ll have a fiercely loyal, snuggly companion who wants nothing more than to be right by your side. Perse is ready to be your one and only.
