Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ben is a sweet, affectionate 4-year-old, 40-lb rescue pup who loves nothing more than curling up beside his favorite person. He’s gentle with his people and well-trained; he knows plenty of tricks and has even earned his Canine Good Citizen certification. Ben listens well, enjoys learning, and makes a loyal, steady companion. He thrives with structure and clear routines, and he’d be happiest in a calm, adult-only home where he can be the only pet, or become a friend to another medium or large dog after a proper introduction. While Ben is content to have couch potato days, he has plenty of energy to thrive with someone who enjoys staying active, whether that’s daily walks, hikes, or regular playtime in the yard. Ben is truly a wonderful dog and has tons of love to give in a new home.

Raleigh, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I was driving to work one morning at four am and saw Lucy wandering down the middle of the street. I stopped to check in on her and she immediately hopped into the back of my car. I searched for a while that day and for months after to find her owner but came to the conclusion that she probably was abandoned where I found her. Regardless of how it happened, she's been staying with my boyfriend and his family for now. Lucy is extremely trusting with strangers and seems to love people and car rides. She does bark a lot and pull on the leash when she sees another dog or small animal so I did set up training classes with a dog trainer next month. I keep her up to date on everything and fairly spoiled but I cannot take care of her on a permanent basis, I would really want her to be with someone who wants to be with her.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We've had her since she was 8 weeks old, rescued from a backyard breeder (we didn't buy her, just took her when we found her wandering, dirty and underfed). She is now 2 years, 3 months. We are looking for someone who can give her constant attention, as she loves to be pet, cuddled, talked to and looked at. She's extremely affectionate and loves meeting new people. She also likes to run around and play fetch so someone who can devote time to help her get her energy out is ideal. She's loved the ramp at our dog park and was in the middle of conquering the tunnel. She's not always food motivated but loves learning new tricks and already knows a bunch of commands: sit, down, stay, come, back up, paw, hugs, kiss, go in your room (crate training), quiet, heel, and a few others. She is a power chewer and loves bones and nyla toys and stuffies, though they don't last long with her. She also really likes balls, tennis balls mostly. Gets along well with other dogs, but not cats.

Joan

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 5 yrs 5 mos
Raleigh, NC
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs,
Story
JoJo (short for Joan) is a 5-year-old Terrier/Pit Bull mix with a heart full of love and a story of resilience. At 44 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion who will follow you from room to room just to be near you. She's incredibly sweet, loves cuddles, and while she isn’t much into toys, she lights up when she gets to run around and play. JoJo gets along great with other dogs and she’s been calm and affectionate around our 6-month-old baby. She’s house-trained, walks well on a leash, and is picking up on basic directions quickly—she’s smart and eager to please. She sleeps soundly outside of a kennel at night, but we did kennel her when we left the house, as she’s shown a bit of separation anxiety. It’s clear she forms strong bonds and just wants to be with her people as much as possible—understandable, given that she was heartbreakingly found abandoned in a trash can. But despite her rough past, she’s resilient, loving, and ready for a fresh start. JoJo is now thriving in foster care and ready to find the loving forever home she deserves. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and low-key playful companion, JoJo might just be your perfect match. Come meet her—you’ll fall in love in minutes.

My sweet boy is a playful, loving family dog with a big heart and even bigger energy. He was raised around kids and other animals, and he gets along with everyone he meets. He loves going to the dog park, taking long walks, and having plenty of space to run and explore. He’s very friendly, eager to please, and happiest when he’s part of an active family who enjoys time outdoors. I’m looking for a home that can give him the attention, exercise, and love he deserves. He’s a wonderful companion who will bring joy, fun, and loyalty to his new family.
