Story

This girl is ready for her new home ! She came in after being on the run for 3 weeks and finally trapped. Her coat had some kind of tar or tree sap all over and oh the fleas. She went into labor and delivered 2 premature, deceased pups, so we headed right to the vet. An x-ray showed 4 more pups. A c-section was performed and while we were able to get the 4 to breathe and come around they looked like the other 2 that had passed. Apparently, she was aborting the litter. 3 of the 4 passed within 24 hours. The lungs are last to mature and their little lungs just couldn't do the job. But...one little guy was giving it his all. He would nurse off of mom and be bottle fed and had to be kept in the incubator to keep his temp up. He was a little baldy when he was born, but that filled in pretty fast. And he made it and is now in a loving forever home. She has made great strides at getting used to house life and enjoys running around the fenced yard. She now wants affection and is developing a loving personality. Patsy is probably 3 yrs old and just under 20lbs. She needs a fenced yard, no exceptions, a home that is willing to let her settle in and probably no little kids would be best. She has never shown aggression, just more fear than anything. Patsy is current on all vetcare and has had a dental, along with 14 rotten teeth removed. She was just groomed and did wonderful. Her adoption fee is $400.00.

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

Richie is a male Shihtzu/Poodle mix. We think he is around 8-9 yrs old. Richie was found as a stray in Cleveland and taken to the city kennel. His hair was long, filthy and severely matted all over his body including his face. When we picked him up we were shocked to find that there was no eyeball in his left eye socket. He had an open infected eye socket. To make matters worse, he has a mature cataract in his right eye with anterior lens luxation (the lens has slipped in front of the iris/pupil). We have been told he is a poor candidate for cataract surgery. Richie is blind due to the extreme neglect and abuse he suffered. In addition to being blind, he was malnourished, underweight, full of intestinal parasites and both ears were infected. This poor little guy was scared, anxious and in pain. The suffering he was experiencing is unimaginable! In spite of all he’s been through, Richie is a sweet, loving dog. He loves cuddles and belly rubs with his foster mom! He has shown us he is a strong, brave, determined little guy who has overcome so much and is slowly adjusting to being blind. He sees with his nose and paws to find his way! Richie has recovered from surgery to close the left eye socket wound. He has been neutered, had his teeth cleaned and completed treatment for his infections. He’s gained strength and is at a good weight now. Richie was evaluated by an eye specialist on 4/22 and he does not have dry eye, glaucoma or any other issues, other than the cataract, in his right eye. He was prescribed eye drops that will help prevent issues developing in the future. He will need a recheck of the eye in 5-6 months. Richie will need a home where his adopters understand the special needs of a blind dog and the commitment involved in maintaining a safe and secure environment for him. It will take time for him to transition and learn how to navigate his new home. Richie has crate anxiety. He does not tolerate being crated or confined to a small area. He likes his independence and as a result is not restricted in his foster home and has been good. He has learned to use a stair ramp to get on and off the couch. Richie is a bit of a “velcro” dog who prefers to be close to his human(s) and this includes sleeping in their bed at night. Richie is fully house-trained. He doesn’t ask to go out but only goes when taken out to the yard for potty time. He’s never had an accident in his foster home! He is very well-behaved and does not chew on anything. He is good when the humans are away in his foster home but it’s important to make sure his environment is safe. Richie has done well and is nonreactive when meeting other dogs. He is not interested in playing and becomes nervous with dogs who are pushy and try to initiate play with him. He would be happy as an only dog or in a home with other dogs who allow him to have his space. He is not cat tested but would likely be okay with them. We think he would be happiest in a quiet home where his humans are home more than they are gone so he can get lots of cuddle time. An all adult home is preferable but older children over the age of 10 who understand his limitations would be okay. Richie currently isn’t able to go up and down stairs on his own. He will go down a couple steps, if they’re not too steep, with some coaxing but not consistently. He tries very hard but he is still unsure. We are working with him to see if he can learn to do a couple steps to get in and out of the house but for now he needs to be carried up/down stairs. When on leash he prefers to lead and take you where he wants to explore. His favorite thing is to freely wander/explore the yard so we’re requiring a fenced yard where he can move about safely. No invisible fences. Potential adopters must live within 1 hour of Cleveland, OH to allow for an in-home visit for a meet and greet. If you are interested in adopting Richie please complete an adoption application on our website at: https://www.dogsunlimitedrescue.org/adoptables.html
