Story
Age: 6 years old (approx) Weight: 50 pounds Adoption Fee: $175 (includes microchip, neuter surgery and vaccinations) Papa is a very friendly medium-sized dog who is sweet and people-oriented. He knows how to SIT, lay down, and SHAKE hands and will even do this with either paw! He is quite playful but also a well-behaved adult dog. He likes car rides and going for puppacinos and frozen yogurt! He loves all people and loves to make new friends! We have also discovered he seems to enjoy wearing hats and sweaters, and he's so photogenic that you cannot help but dress him up for pictures! He's our resident Dog Model who will wear just about anything and has fun too. Got Netflix? He'll binge-watch whatever you're watching with you (we can't guarantee he'll stay awake though!) We have also found that Papa also really likes race tracks! He has been to Virginia International Raceway THREE times and loves all the people and noise.  His ideal home would have no other dogs (cats who know dogs are OK) and no small children/toddlers (he jumps a little bit when he's excited and could knock a little child over without meaning harm). He likes to run around with balls so a fenced yard is required. **************************************************************************** Papa is available for adoption through Spirit Canine Rescue. To adopt Papa, please visit our website http://www.spiritcaninerescue.org/adopt.html for more information and to complete an application. A home visit will be required prior to adoption. We request that all adopters be within reasonable traveling distance to Burlington NC.   * Our only obligation is to the dogs in our program and we reserve the right to determine whether a particular dog and the adopter are the right fit. Remember, just because a dog "looks" like the one you want, that does not necessarily mean that the dog will "behave" like the one you want! Note: We do not adopt out of state!  We do not adopt dogs into homes with invisible /underground fencing! February 25, 2024, 12:13 am

Story
My name is Lil Bit and I came to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me. I came in with another dog who I seem to get along with well. My previous owner also says I love car rides, children, and chew toys! I do have a few medical conditions like my skin, ears, and eyes. But I promise I am worth the extra care I need!

Durham, NC
Size

Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Franklin is a high-energy, 13-month-old bully mix currently looking for his forever home. He would thrive in a busy, active household. Franklin especially enjoys his time at "puppy camp" where he socializes with many people and has playtime with other high-energy dogs. He likes taking long walks and enjoys exploring new places. He requires a physically strong owner who can confidently assume the leadership role, which will allow Franklin to relax and avoid feeling the need to be the alpha in his new environment. In his previous home, Franklin had a hard time settling down in the evenings and is currently taking medication for anxiety. Preference will go to potential owners who have experience with high-energy bully breeds and a fenced backyard or space where he can play outside off leash. Two references required. Neutered and fully up to date on vaccinations. House-trained. Uses crate when home alone.

Story
Snookie is a sweet rescue pup who’s almost 2 years old. I’ve been fostering her for a couple of months, and she has come such a long way. As a puppy, she was left alone and uncared for, which made her reactive in new environments. Despite that, she is incredibly loving—she wants to cuddle, be close to you, and feel safe. She walks well on a leash but can get scared when people or dogs pass by. I’ve been working on redirecting her, and she’s slowly improving. Snookie also lives with two small French Bulldogs and does great with them. She even interacts calmly with an outside kitty. Her house training has improved so much. When she first arrived, she had many accidents, but now she has had 0 accidents indoors! Snookie needs a home with someone patient who’s willing to continue her training.

Story
This sweet, gentle boy is a quiet soul who asks for very little—just a loving heart to call his own. He isn’t one to demand attention or steal the spotlight, but his calm presence and soft eyes speak volumes. There’s something deeply comforting about him, the kind of dog who’s happiest simply being near you.He moves through the world with a tender spirit, offering affection in subtle, meaningful ways. A slow tail wag, a gentle lean against your leg, a peaceful nap nearby—this is how he shows his love. He’s not the life of the party, but he is the steady, darling companion who brings warmth and calm into any room.This boy would thrive in a home that appreciates quiet moments, soft routines, and the beauty of a dog who loves deeply without asking for much in return. If you’re looking for a loyal friend with a gentle heart, he’s been waiting just for you.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Queen, a charming and sassy sidekick who`s equal parts snuggle bug, road trip companion, and toy-loving goofball. She’s all about her people and would happily follow you from room to room, or better yet, hop in the car for your next adventure. Queen is a professional passenger—calm, happy, and convinced that every ride needs her royal presence. She`s also potty trained, crate aware (though she’ll politely bark when she’s ready to come out), and great on leash with just a little pulling when she`s excited. Queen recently took on a 7-mile hike at Eno River State Park and absolutely crushed it. Suspension bridges? No problem. Crowds of school kids? Handled like a pro. She navigated everything with confidence and grace—earning some laughs and a few “Scooby-Doo” comments along the way. At home, Queen is a toy and treat-motivated gal who loves to chew on bones and play with her stash of goodies throughout the day. She gets along well with the calm senior dog in her foster home and minds her business like the classy lady she is. She`s also great with kids, though she prefers to enjoy her meals and bones without interruptionWhile Queen has some minor mobility quirks—likely due to a hip or leg issue—she doesn’t let it slow her down much. She handles steps with care and is happiest on flat ground where she can stay close to you. In the backyard, she’ll stick right by your side and comes when called. Queen is a sweet, spunky, and loyal dog who’s looking for a home where she can be part of the action, soak up affection, and chew to her heart’s content. If you’re searching for a loving, adventurous companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Queen just might be your match!
