Story
Hello! I came to the shelter as a stray. The kind people that found me were able to give me a bath with no issues (I was a little stinky). They report that I am shy about cars and stairs, but they were able to pick me up and carry me with no issues (of course I`m a big dog so I was heavy). I`m friendly and I love playing and exploring. I was found with another dog and we got along well, but I`ll definitely need slow, planned, monitored introductions to any other dogs in a new home. It is unknown how I might behave around cats. Visit this page for more information about properly introducing pets.Like many dogs in NC, I am currently heartworm positive, but don`t worry - OCAS will cover the cost of my treatment. Staff members at the shelter can give you more information about that if you are interested in adopting me.In North Carolina, it`s unfortunately common to see many dogs that are infected with heartworms (they are transmitted by mosquito bites). Heartworm disease may cause severe lung disease, heart failure, or other organ damage in dogs. It`s usually fatal if left untreated. Heartworm treatment is costly. With your support, OCAS can help more dogs with this disease - resulting in healthier dogs that are even more likely to get adopted. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign.

Story
Petey This beautiful boy is the quintessential old-fashioned dog Petey. I have been fostering Petey for a year and completely in love. Too many other fosters to give him the attention he craves and deserves. He loves children and to be active and quiet time with close cuddling. He is good with other friendly dogs. He is E collar trained. He is about 80 pounds with powerful play energy with other dogs. He sleeps on a couch or in bed or just about anywhere - will go in a crate, but prefers not. He is not destructive. Petey is playful and trainable. The first year of his life was neglect being left outside tied to a tire.Despite this, his good nature has persevered. This sweet boy deserves the best in life and would do well in any home. He is on a foster to adopt basis. If it is not a fit immediately or at any time in the future, he must only be returned to me. He is sponsored. Come and meet him! He really is the best.

Story
Ghost is the sweetest boy you'll ever meet and will surely steal your heart! Laid back and very well-mannered, he enjoys an active lifestyle, with daily long walks of several miles and plenty of time to sniff out the latest smells. While walking, Ghost doesn’t pull, but he is a big, strong boy, so he does need a strong and experienced handler. Although he is gentle and likes children, Ghost would be best living with adults. He may prefer to be an only dog, but he is drawn to gentle female dogs and may live happily with another dog. Huskies are an inquisitive and active breed who like to roam. So Ghost needs a large yard with at least a 6-foot privacy fence and an adopter who will enjoy spending time hanging with him and playing fun games to help keep him entertained and contained. Great in the car, he is always up for a fun ride. And a treat! He takes treats gently and will not jump up on you. Ghost's accomplishments are many. He is great on a leash, is house-trained and crate-trained, and will go into the crate upon request and sleeps overnight there without a sound. He has his silly, zoomy moments, like when chasing after his favorite toy he runs around the room. This gorgeous dog will surely make some lucky family a wonderful, loving companion! HEALTH Ghost is up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered. HISTORY Ghost was found after being lost for 3 months. His owners were located and contacted but did not want him back. Luckily, one of IAR's fosters intervened and brought him into the program! PHYSICAL Ghost is white with golden highlights on his ears, neck and down his back. His fluffy white tail often curls over his back.
