Story
Adelaide is a loving, wee pocket pittie (45 lbs packed into a tiny body) who loves car rides, people she meets and other dogs. She is well-mannered and easy to train as she is super treat motivated! Adelaide is around 1-2 years old, HW- and up to date on shots. She is spayed. We continue to work with our vet on a serious ear infection due to neglect. She was dumped at a local (closed) NC shelter in a plastic crate covered in her own urine and feces. Our local veterinary friends were able to get her cleaned up, assessed and medicated so she is on her way to a much better life. To foster or adopt Adelaide, please go to apply.neshamarescue.org

Story
Say hello to sweet Ariel. She’s in need of a foster home, or adoptive home by the end of May. She’s very people oriented and enjoys going for rides with her people and walks in parks, Ariel likes to fetch toys in the backyard and will be quite trainable as she aims to please. She will learn new commands with a bit of guidance and practice. She currently knows how to sit, stay, lay down, roll over, speak. Ariel is an extremely smart, happy, loyal, energetic girl. Ariel is house trained. When she goes outside on a leash she immediately does her business and then carries on with her walk. She loves walks in nature and also loves to carry her stuffed animals with her. When its time to quiet down, Ariel loves to chomp on bones. She has been adopted for 3 years and goes my Meeko. Her family can no longer care for her so she needs a home immediately. Ariel loves: ⁃ Being active: running, long walks, playing ⁃ To snuggle (on her time) ⁃ Rubs & puppy massages ⁃ Treats (especially frozen peanut butter kongs) ⁃ Games like tug a war & hide n seek (telling her to stay while you hid the ball in a room & them her to find it) ⁃ People ⁃ Kids (but does not always know her own strength) Ariel is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines and ready to begin the next chapter in her adventure. If you are interested please apply at apply.neshamarescue.org

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. You MUST submit a Best Friend Pet Adoption application to be considered. Our application is at  https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC   Sequoia Ruby is a gorgeous Blue Fawn Pittie. She's around 1.5 year old and about 50-55lbs. She's a nice size and has a compact, muscular build. She has a happy, confident personality and enjoys meeting new people. She's quick to make friends and is not shy about showing her silly, playful side. This sweet lady is up for anything - nice long walks, hikes, beach trips - anywhere fun where she can explore and be with her people. She loves car rides and would be happy to join you, even if it's a short trip to Starbucks for a pup cup! She overall is great on leash, she may need a reminder to "heel", but usually has good manners.  Ruby is crated trained and has done well being crated for extended periods of time. She needs to be crated when no one is home and is currently being crated overnight.   Ruby has a medium/high energy and would do best with a fenced yard and with fairly active people. She still has some excitable puppy energy, but after playtime, she will relax and enjoys sunbathing or snuggle on the couch with her people. She would be fine as an only dog or with a well matched neutered male. She sometimes gets too excited with new dogs and may be too much for some. She may ignore their social ques, but is learning impulse control and redirects well. She needs a person that will keep her in check if she becomes too overwhelming towards other dogs.   Ruby is very smart and knows basic commands and a few tricks! She's food motivated, toy driven and eager to learn. She likes to play fetch and very much enjoys chasing a flirt pole. A flirt pole is an excellent way to drain her energy and strengthen your bond with her. An experience owner that can provide daily physical and mental stimulation would bring out the best in her - she thrives when she has direction and consistency.   She would be ok with older children, she may be too excitable for the youngsters. She hasn't been completely cat tested, she may do well with a "dog confident" cat, but if a shy kitty runs, prey drive may kick in. Cat intros would need to be done slow and appropriate. Sequoia Ruby has been waiting for a forever home (or a foster home) for over 6 months, please consider meeting this fun girl, she would LOVE to meet you!   Best Friend Pet Adoption prefers that you live no further than an hours drive from the Triangle area of North Carolina. For the right family, we may consider further distances but prefer applicants live a reasonable distance from Raleigh NC.   INTERESTED IN ADOPTING SEQUOIA RUBY?
