Story
I have more videos on the rescue website! My name is Pepper. I weigh 7 lbs. (2/16). I am one in a litter of three. We were born around November 15. We are fostered in Mount Airy, North Carolina but easy, affordable transportation is available. Our mom weighed 7 pounds and our dad weighed 10 pounds. They were both family pets with great dispositions. We all have long bodies and short legs. We are not considered hypoallergenic or non-shedding since we are mixed breed puppies. We are well socialized and very loving. We love being held and petted, and we always greet our foster mom at the door with wagging tails and lots of kisses. We love to play with toys and with each other. We do like to chew on fingers and toes so we definitely need some training in this area. We have a medium energy level. We are working on house training. We sleep in a crate every night and we have learned not to potty in our crate. As soon as our crate door is opened every morning we run straight to the door to go outside and potty. We are good with the other dogs and love to play with them. I am the boldest of the three and the first to try anything new. I love to snooze in my foster’s lap! We provide hours of entertainment to our foster mom just watching us play. We are pretty typical puppies - we eat, sleep, play, and then start all over again. We have so much love to give and we are ready to go to our new forever homes! We will not be adopted in to homes with small children because we are so small. We are up-to-date on our puppy shots and we have been dewormed. We have already had a check up by the veterinarian. Our records will accompany us to our new homes. Email is the best method of contact . Adoption applications can be found on our rescue website Carolinacaninerescuenc.com

Story
Effie is a precious senior girl that is ready to find a family to call her own. Effie came to us from a horrible situation where she was one of twelve dogs that were living in a house that was beyond nasty - they had never been outside and were being fed just whatever was in the cabinets or refrigerator - Effie was so matted up when she came to the rescue that we did not even know if she was a male or female and she was not able to see until we shaved her down as her eyes were covered with matts of fur. Effie has really blossomed and is one of the more independent and confident dogs out of the group. She has decided that living the good life as a spoiled dog is pretty darn amazing and she loves to run and play outside. We estimate her age to be 7 years old- sometimes it is hard to tell as the neglect she suffered for years can make them appear normal and there was no way to tell her age from her teeth as they were in horrible shape and she had major dental work done after coming to the rescue. Effie does well with other dogs - she has not been around cats or small kids. She is doing well with her housebreaking but will require patience and consistency when going to a new home with a new schedule. Effie is spayed, has had her dental work done and remaining teeht cleaned. she has had a full workup with bloodwork and a urinalysis, heartworm tested and current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention, dewormed, current on vaccines and microchipped. She weights 25 pounds and is the perfect lap dog that would love to keep your lap warm If you are interested in sweet Effie - please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications. We require this to be filled out and reviewed before we will set up any meet and greet - we do require vet references and and a home visit. Effie's adoption fee is $250.00 Effie said she is so ready to find a family and a home to call her own - will that be your home ?

Story
*Buster has hypothyroid- being easily maintained with medication. On prescription food for previous gastrointestinal distress- his bowls are great though and he has no problems eating, drinking, pottying normally* Meet Buster!  Meet beautiful Buster boy! Are you looking for an absolutely adorable and lovable dog!? Look no further than this sweet yet sassy boy! Buster came from a home with “too many dogs” and was taken to an overcrowded shelter. Buster did not receive any handling, training, love or affection prior to rescue. Even though he has a rough past, he remains friendly and affectionate to all humans. In fact, there is nothing more Buster loves than attention from his humans! This cutie pie greets strangers of all ages with a wagging tail and a please pet me and never stop look. He is happiest when near his humans. Buster is the best of all things! He is an amazing leash walker and enjoys long daily walks. He is house trained. He is happy to greet visitors. He loves a good couch cuddle. He is loving but does fine on a dog bed by himself. He is smart and quick to learn new commands. He is fine around other dogs but doesn’t need to be with other dogs. He is so smart. Buster is truly amazing! Due to his neglectful past, he isn’t use to being fully handled. He may growl if his paws or tail is touched. He also does not like being picked up and carried. With positive reinforcement, this can improve over time. Buster has such a naturally friendly attitude. It is clear he rather love than hate. He just needs someone with experience to give him a chance. His love outshines most of all! Just say his name, he comes running over with a wagging tail. He’ll melt your heart faster than you can say “aweee”.   He is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for his age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. Buster is currently being fostered in South Carolina. ADOPT BUSTER!! www.LuckyPupRescueSC.com The adoption fee is $300.00 and we require a vet check and home visit. April 24, 2024, 6:52 pm
