Story

Biscuit is an 8 week old Shih tzu/ Pitbull mix. We know super strange mix, but she is such a little lover. We assume she will be on the smaller side when fully grown, but no guarantees. Biscuit does have short little legs right now. She is getting acclimated to all of her foster siblings, but would love a home of her own.

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. With his adorable underbite, curly tail and long legs this is our best guess for his breed. 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. Richie is blind due to the extreme neglect and abuse he suffered. In addition to being blind, Richie 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 finished treatment for his infections. He’s gained strength and is at a good weight now. Richie has an upcoming ophthalmology consult on 4/22 to have the right eye checked for any other issues other than the obvious cataract. 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. One of the challenges with Richie has been his 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. 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 when meeting other dogs but 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. He doesn’t like being on leash unless he can 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 an hour of Cleveland, OH to allow for an in-home meet and greet.
