Story
Kuro is the name of our Akita/German Shepherd. He was given to us as a puppy in 2020. He is very protective and does have separation anxieties at times. He is also very smart and understands commands. Kuro is a good travel dog and travels with me and my husband when we go on vacation. He isn't neutered and has never been kenneled. He loves both dog and human foods. His favorite foods are chicken and ice cream. Kuro is good with children. On February 5, 2026, our lives changed. My husband had emergency open heart surgery and has been in the hospital since. I have been staying with him almost 24 hours a day and haven't been able to take care of Kuro. Kuro loves to walk and loves playing ball. He has been by himself for almost a month, and his separation anxieties have gotten worse. I am 70 years old and my husband is 65 years. Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to keep him, and looking for a loving family, possibly with children who can give him the love and attention he needs.

Story
Meet Hopper. Hopper is a 1 year, 9 month old, 66-pound sweetheart who captures hearts almost instantly. He is a tripod after having a damaged leg amputated, and he has adapted incredibly well. His mobility and confidence are impressive, and his three-legged status does not slow him down. He is easy to get out of the kennel, eager but manageable when leashing up, and appears to be housetrained. Hopper walks okay on leash, especially for a young dog of his size, and moves comfortably and confidently. He truly enjoys being outside and thrives when he has space to explore and move. Hopper enjoys car rides and is excited to load up, though he may need a little help getting into taller vehicles. He can be vocal at first but settles with time, particularly when given something appropriate to chew on. He loves toys, enjoys playing fetch, and is very treat motivated. Hopper takes treats gently, knows “sit” reliably, and may take a moment to adjust his footing before sitting. People are one of Hopper’s favorite things. He is affectionate, social, and leans in for attention. He happily accepts pets from new people and has done well meeting older children. He enjoys being close to his people and clearly values human connection. Around other dogs, Hopper displays loose body language and wagging, though he can be vocal at times and may bark out of excitement or to express himself. In general, he is a bit of a talker and has an opinionated, grumbly way of communicating that many people find endearing. Bath time is not Hopper’s favorite activity, likely due to difficulty maintaining footing in a slippery tub, so gentle handling and positive experiences will be important for grooming routines. Hopper is a resilient, loving, and playful young dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He is ready for a home that will appreciate his affectionate nature, his joyful energy, and his unique way of communicating with the people he loves. As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
