Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ben – A Brave Little Survivor Breed: Shih Tzu Age: ~10 years Location: Durham, NC Adoption Fee: $300.  The rescue will pay for his heartworm treatment and neutering.   Ben’s story is heartbreaking, but his resilience is inspiring. This 10-year-old Shih Tzu was found as a stray, completely blind, severely underweight, and heartworm positive. Despite everything he has endured, Ben is gentle, loving, and so grateful for every bit of kindness he receives. Ben has begun the first phase of his heartworm treatment and will need a local adopter or foster who can take him to his veterinary appointments in Fuquay-Varina, NC. When cleared, he will also need to be neutered and receive a dental. He is currently working on his potty manners, which should continue to improve after he is neutered and settled into a routine. Ben is the sweetest boy—calm, affectionate, and eager for a safe home where he can finally rest. After years of neglect, he deserves comfort, patience, and love. If you can provide a soft place for Ben to heal and thrive, please submit an application today.

Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS *** Mont Joy would love to give back to his community by helping other Saving Grace dogs with major medical needs, our senior dogs, nursing moms, and those who need life-saving heartworm treatments. Through his adoption, Mont Joy will ask his new family to assist him by making a donation of $500 (tax-deductible) in addition to the adoption fee ($395) to help his friends in need. Introducing - Mont Joy or "Monty". He is a sweet boy who truly lives up to the joy in his name. Monty appears to be potty trained and is not destructive. He was left outside of the crate unsupervised and was on his best behavior - proven to be trustworthy. Monty has been around a 16 month old while in foster - he was gentle, appropriate and interested! At night, he sleeps cozily in bed and through the night, happy to settle in and relax. He does very well with other dogs and has been part of a big pack of dogs while in foster - mostly dogs of similar size but also 1 large GSD. He integrates easily and has a friendly demeanor with other dogs. Like many dogs, Monty can be vocal - especially when he is getting used to new places, routines or people. He sometimes needs additional reassurance to settle back down. As he has no problem communicating his displeasures or needs, the foster feels Monty would so best in a home rather than an apartment. Monty is a good eater and you don't have to wait around for him to finish his serving! He has been eating Science Diet small bites. Monty will need regular grooming for his beautiful black curly coat. He did great with a quick at home groom - it is obvious he has experience with grooming. We are so happy for Monty to find his forever family and know he will make the perfect new addition. He can be shy and slower to trust, but with love and consistency he really does come out of his shell and this sweet smart quirky side is revealed.

Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE FRIDAYS and SATURDAYS *** Meet Teddy, a distinguished gentleman with a soft heart and WHOLE LOTTA love left to give. He is proof that second chances are where the best stories begin. Teddy is ready to spend his golden years exactly where he belongs - cherished, safe and loved. Teddy appears to be potty trained! He has been in foster with a big pack of dogs his size from puppy to senior. Teddy gets along quite well with dogs of all ages, but definitely prefers more of a laid-back vibe. You can find him lounging on a dog bed or sofa nearby. At night, he sleeps soundly in bed curled up with the rest of the pack. Teddy did not spend much time in the crate, as he proved to be trustworthy when left unsupervised. Teddy also enjoys short walks - when the weather is cooler, you will catch him strollin the neighborhood in his most distinguished sweater.
