Story
Introducing King, a 2-year-old Pitty mix who is ready to find his forever home! Despite a rough start in life, King is the sweetest and most gentle dog you'll ever meet. He was found in July after being hit by a car and left on the side of the road. Thankfully, he received the necessary surgeries to fix his broken hips with bone plates and wires. King weighs around 50 pounds and is in good health. He is heartworm negative and on prevention, as well as up to date on his vaccines. He is not currently on any medications. Although he is not neutered yet, he will be before going to his forever home. This lovable pup gets along well with both men and women, as well as children. He is also good with other dogs and cats, making him a great addition to any family. King is house trained and has a low energy level indoors. He enjoys playing ball and with fluffy toys, and he is leash trained. King is a great travel companion and loves car rides. He has no issues with riding in a vehicle. He has been eating Purina 1 lamb and rice dog food, but his diet can be adjusted to suit his new home. As of now, King doesn't have any future medical expenses, but he may require follow-up appointments for his hips as he gets older. He is officially ready for a forever home or a foster-to-adopt situation. If you're looking for a sweet and gentle companion who will bring joy to your life, consider giving King the loving home he deserves. Reach out to the appropriate contact for more information and to start the adoption process. Let's help King find his happily ever after!

Margo's warm and inviting personality makes her the perfect addition to any loving home that can appreciate her affectionate nature.

We have had Marlo for 3 years and he is so lovable and such a sweet heart, loves to play and snuggle. Me and my fiancé have extremely busy schedules and feel bad he has to stay in his room almost 8-9 hours a day getting left out to potty only once by a family friend whose schedule is also busy. I want to find him a family that can spend the time he deserves with him. It’s a hard decision but I am willing to relocate to a loving family.

Story
Taquito aka Taco. He was found Feb 2022, on the side of the highway sitting beside a crate, was guessed to be about 10wks old. He was brought in to my home with plans to foster but he quickly wormed his way into everyone's heart and became a foster fail, joining our family of 4 other dogs(pom, lab, pitt, collie)and 3 cats.Taco knows basic commands,is very smart.He is house trained without accidents, he does not dig holes, loves to play with toys,loves to get under covers and wiggle his way so his head is on the pillow, he loves to snuggle and if you want he will sleep in his crate without fuss. He has been around children (4& up).He walks well on a leash, never pulls. Unfortunately over time him and our older pitt decided they could no longer tolerate each other, with fights occurring, requiring vet visits. Sadly we must find Taco a home where he can be loved for his sweet goofy self.

Story
**WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATIONS WITHIN A 1 HOUR RADIUS OF FORT BRAGG** Vala's Story: Vala came to our rescue in July of 2022 with a laundry list of medical problems. Upon our intake exam, our vet found that Vala was heartworm positive with a grade two heart murmur, malnourished, she was infected with demodex mange, she had a yeast infection all over her body, she had conjunctivitis in both of her eyes, a severe ear infection in both ears, was super infested with fleas, had several growths all over her body, and was pregnant with FIFTEEN puppies. Vala gave birth three days after her intake. She was in labor for well over 24 hours and we ended up rushing her to the emergency room after a few alarming signs and such a long labor. Luckily, Vala was given the green light to go home after an exam and some imaging, but unfortunately due to the condition that we received her in, she lost nine of those babies. After diligent round-the-clock care towards mom and babies we were able to bottle feed the remaining puppies for the next two weeks until Vala was able to put on enough weight and produce enough milk to be able to nurse them on her own. We swung into action to get her weight up for her to be able to nurse her own babies. This once outdoor dog was eating the most gourmet meals in the whole house! Rice, eggs, boiled chicken, beef liver, doggie soup, cottage cheese, you name it! We gave Vala every food and supplement that our vet recommended. Despite Vala's challenges upon her arrival, she is the sweetest and most loving girl. She would be the most happy doing nothing more than snuggling up on the couch and watching movies on a rainy day. Vala loves to sunbathe on the back porch, snuggle on the couch, sleep on her doggie cot, and sunbathe in the sunny spots in the house. Vala did come to us as heartworm positive, however, she has already gone through treatment and her medical initial medical issues have been treated. Due to the severity of her skin infections, not all of her hair has regrown. We believe that her chest area has permanent hair lost. We still think she's beautiful just the way she is.❤️ Although we're not totally sure how old Vala is, we estimate somewhere around 8- 10 years old. Vala looks to be some sort of "low rider" bully mix, but some of her chonky leg folds remind me of an English Bulldog. Everyone who has ever met Vala has fallen in love, we hope you will too! Vala loves snuggling on the couch, and living the comfy life. She enjoys sunbathing, naps and snacks the most. She is a gentle girl who is ready for retirement with a family who will love her.

Story
Allow me to introduce you to Bishop, a handsome 4-year-old pup with a story to tell. Bishop hails from the streets of the south, where he was trying to make it on his own and chasing the wrong type of dames. However, his life took a turn when he ended up in a scary place called "The Shelter." Luckily, he managed to escape just in time and found his way to a better life. Bishop weighs around 55 pounds, and he wants the ladies to know that it's all muscle. But don't let his muscles fool you, he's as sweet as sugar and listens better than most men. He has a mix of boxer, lab, and pitbull in him, but his handsome looks mostly come from his pitbull side. And yes, the ladies love his guns! Unfortunately, Bishop's previous foster home had cats, and they didn't get along well. So, he's currently back in boarding, where he enjoys the company of other dogs and a kind lady who takes him for walks and plays ball with him. Bishop absolutely loves his toys and chasing balls. He can get a bit "mouthy" when teased with toys, but he redirects nicely. He enjoys going for walks, but if he spots a bird, rabbit, or squirrel, he's off like Richard Simmons in a workout video. However, he responds well to correction. Bishop is a goofball who doesn't take much seriously, except for treats. Treats are serious business to him, and he'll do just about anything for one. He loves peanut butter in his kabobs but avoids rawhide to maintain his playboy figure. With his big smile and awesome personality, Bishop hopes to find his forever home. He's fully vetted, which means he's had his shots and is neutered. He is currently undergoing treatment for heartworms using a method called Slow Kill. Bishop is an easygoing, sweet, smart, happy, cuddly, and laid-back dude. He loves exercising, playing catch, and chasing balls, but he also enjoys relaxing and taking naps. He would be more than happy to lounge around in bed and watch TV with his humans. A perfect day for Bishop would involve the three C's: chasing (balls), catch, and chill. He simply wants a best friend, someone to love him and give him the attention he deserves. A house would be preferable to an apartment, but he's open to trying out apartment life if it's a good fit. Bishop is currently in training now and is available for adoption or foster. To learn more about him and start the adoption process, reach outr to us. Wecan provide you with Bishop's portfolio and an application for his forever home. Bishop can't wait to give you wet kisses and steal all your blankets.

I’ve had kota since she was a puppy, she’s 2 yrs and 4 mo old, she’s very energetic and loving. She needs a lot of attention. I recently started working 12 hour shifts which has caused some issues, it’s unfair for her. I’m looking for someone who can spend time with her and make sure she can have the life she deserves.
