Story
Being an urgent medical case and the shelter already overcrowded, Blue was on the euthansia list and he only had until 5pm that day. Seeing his adorable, almost pleading face, we knew we had to act and act fast. We immediately sent an email to the shelter with the subject line being DNPTS. This stands for Do Not Put To Sleep. It is the urgent message to the shelter to go put eyes on that dog and make sure they do not get euthanized because they have RESCUE. Blue was taken to CARE and underwent surgery to fix his condition which was a urinary stricture. He did great but did have a long recovery ahead of him. He was a great little guy through it all and just as sweet as he can be despite everything he'd been through. Blue is a 1 1/2 year old American Bully. In true form, he's got the big noggin, slight underbite and prick ears and is a lean and muscular, little low rider machine. He is absolutely precious and has the funniest personality. He is playful but he also won't miss an opportunity to bake himself in the sun...another bully thing! Blue is VERY into his people and will pick a favorite who he will laser lock in on. Not in a bad way, no resource guarding, but a one person kind of dog. He'd be a great family dog with older kids but with the understanding that he will have HIS person. And can we say snug bug! And oh the faces of Blue...Mr. Personality! If interested in possibly meeting him, please go to freedomfarmrescue.com and fill out an online application. We just like to know a little about you prior to a meet and greet.

More notes about Croissant:House trained, sweet, quiet girl who thrives in a house with a fenced in yard. No separation anxiety.Treat motivated in the house.Understands sit, working in stay.Will eat when hungry, and leave food for later when full.Great with kids, humans of all kind.Reactive on walks to other dogs.

Story
Contact my foster at gaitherapiffany@gmail.comZeus is a happy go lucky boy who has been waiting at the shelter since August. When volunteers come to walk him he gives them little licks as they unlock his kennel. He`s very strong but he walks well with a front clipped harness. Recently Zeus had about ten days in two foster homes. His first foster mom described him as `considerate` for how gently he takes treats. He was great with her two elementary age kids. He wasn`t dog reactive on walks or behind the fence in his back yard. He met two dogs in short intros and seemed eager to play. In the second foster home, Zeus went for long walks and got crate trained. In his forever home he would need some time to decompress separately from other dogs before meeting and playing with them.- Crate and house trained - Good with all people and kids - Knows Sit, loves treats and takes them so gently - Cutest little hops while running - Big head, even bigger heart!- Excited to meet other dogs; gradual and proper intros recommended - Sweet and happy boy - Playful, fun and athletic - Affectionate cuddle bug - Very strong; walks best with a harness clipped in front

Story
Hi, I’m Hugh! I’m a 4-year-old pittie/boxer mix with a big heart and an even bigger smile. Everyone who meets me says I’m the sweetest boy. I’ve never met a stranger, and I especially love kids! Life wasn’t always easy for me, but I’m making up for lost time with all the love and energy I have to share. I’m neutered, crate trained, and fully up to date on my vaccines. I am heartworm positive, but some of the cost of treatment will be covered to help my future family get me healthy. Here’s what you should know about me: • Super people-friendly (love, love, love attention) • Kid-approved • High energy — I’m always ready for fun • Crate trained • Playful with dogs (I come in a little hot, but I just want to make friends) • No cats, please! I’m looking for a family who can give me the exercise, structure, and love I’ve been waiting for. If you’re ready for a loyal companion with lots of love to give, I’d love to meet you!

Story
Breed: Boxer / American Bulldg Size: Large; currently 90+ lbs Estimated Birthday: 3/2/2020 House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes, and kennels on command! Kids: no children for Bella Vida, but teenagers, may work! Dogs & cats: Bella Vida is looking to be the only pet in your home. --=========================== Bella Vida is a big personality wrapped in a beautiful white coat. She’s confident, sassy, and needs an assertive human who can match her alpha energy with calm leadership. She’s not exactly the Einstein of the dog world—and she’s definitely a little clumsy—but her goofy charm and lovable nature win everyone over. Bella’s the kind of girl who will make you laugh daily, whether it’s with her thunderous post-workout snoring or her signature backseat move: belly up, paws in the air, cruising in style. This quirky boxer has some strong opinions—especially when it comes to her ball of the day. With a collection of 15+ to choose from, she carefully selects the one and will turn up her nose at any other imposter. Don’t worry—she’ll dig through her toy basket until she finds the chosen one. Bella Vida is also a people-watching pro, spending hours at the window like a little watchdog queen. She’s got love to give, a personality that fills the room, and a funny streak that never quits. She’s not for the faint of heart—but if you’re ready to be her partner in crime, she’ll be your fiercely loyal, endlessly entertaining best friend. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Bella Vida is $365 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

Story
Please contact my foster at: nmroman@gmail.comA spritely 6-7 year old pup. House broken and non destructive when left in a room outside of a crate.- we`ve left him alone for 9 hours with no issues. Is now walking very well on a leash, no intense pulling. Has been easy to train/work with. Loves his walks but can also as easily go out in the yard and chill. Dog friendly for sure. Can have some reaction on a leash but does well at run club with lots of people and dogs. Has been to social events and has also done great. Does not seem to thrive with apartment dwelling but I`ve seen improvements with his last staycation. We`ve made strides with his barking and anxious energy. He`s a lot calmer and less barky and fairly easy to get his attention and stop him when he starts. Still no cats but it is better when he sees them on walks vs out the window. No resource guarding or food protection shown!
