Story
Meet Sweet Stella! Stella is a very sweet and good-natured girl who loves to play fetch and chase her toys. She loves everyone she meets and wants all the belly rubs you can give. She has even been on TV - watch her clip here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w4mnv7rJWM She is around 4 to 5 years old, 73 lbs, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. She loves to go for walks just as much as she loves taking naps on the couch or sprawled out in the sunshine! After a few ear rubs and pets she rolls over on her back for belly rubs for pretty much anyone. She is great at riding in the car and is able to jump into the back of an SUV on her own with no assistance. Stella is eager to meet all dogs (small and large) and people that come near her. Her tail will wag the whole time - no hesitation, no aggression. She is definitely man’s best friend. In a temporary foster placement, it was noted that she gravitated to the father and son of the household, and not at all with the mother. Although she is fine with other dogs in social settings, once she is at home, she really wants to be the only animal. Definitely no cats for Stella. Stella is a an all around great, loveable girl looking for a family to love. If your family needs a sweet and lovable house-hippo, Stella is your girl! Please complete an adoption application on our website and once approved, we can set up a meet and greet for you. Fenced yard required for this girl who loves to run and play!

Story
This sweet girl is Lites Moon.Her owner, my brother sadly passed away 4/17/2024 from Cancer. I have only 10 days to rehome her due to the lease ending by the end of the month. She is very sweet and very loving but very sad right now for she lost her best friend. She was rescued by my brother from an abusive owner that used her for breeding purposes. She has a wonderful heart and loves to lay out in the sun. She also loves car/truck rides. She will need some TLC. The last 6 months of her owners life was spent mostly indoors ,she wouldn't leave his bedside.I am the owners sister needing a forever home for her. She is trained to potty outside. She is an indoor girl! She love dogtv at youtube. Which she loves. Please this sweet girl needs help. Adoption fee is negotiable Side note:I know she does great with kids. I am not confident to say the same about other pets. She has always been the only pet in the household.

Story
- She's truly the perfect size for most homes. She's small enough that you can easily pick her up - 35 lbs. (and she doesn't mind being picked up when you need to do it), but has a "big dog" personality (not yappy or nervous at all).Basic Information:- house-trained- crate-trained (but doesn't NEED to be in a crate - she's perfectly safe when left loose in the house)- peppy when she's outside, but calm inside the house- snuggly - loves to sit on your lap- playful - giver her a good toy and she's happy for a long time (heck, she's even happy to chase her tail if she's got no toys around)- adorable - her little tongue is too big for her mouth, so about an inch of the tip often hangs out; extremely cute- would love to get on the furniture, but doesn't mind when you say no (i.e., she listens to you)- food-driven, so she's good at training, but not so food-driven that she tries to get the food off your plate (see above she listens well)- only barks when she hears the doorbell or noises outside (in other words, not a nervous dog that barks at everything)- independent - she is not needy in the least; at the same time, she's loving and excited to see you/be with you when you come homeLayla will do well with a house without children and will need a compatibility test with another dog. She gets along well with some and not so well with others.If you are interested in adopting Layla, please visit www.pawsitiveimpactncdogrescue.com/adopt. ##973536##

Story
Shelby is believed to be a Labrador-Pittie mix, which is honestly a dream combination; the fun of a Labrador and the smushy cuddles of a pitty! Her webbed paws are hilariously big for her body, and she lives for a summer swim! Shelby is the type of dog that you’ll need an extra 5 minutes with. While we don’t know the details of her past, we do know that she had enough experiences with NC’s finest to distrust humans. Shelby might initially bark or do a little nervous jig, but this sweet girl emerges in just a few minutes and she is worth the wait!Now that we’ve tried to sell you on Shelby, it’s YOUR turn to sell yourself TO Shelby. Shelby will need three or more of the following adopter qualities before she unpacks her bags and calls it home:1) Seven bedroom mansion by the lake, complete with pool and dock for optimal swimming opportunity (okay, a walk to the river or lake will also do...we guess)2) Netflix subscription. Shelby is currently rewatching The Office for the 8th time3) Comfy bed to allow for optimal cuddles4) TREATS. All of the treats.5) A canine companion for company and cardio (Wrestlemania ??)6) A human with ideal arm strength for belly scratches and leg strength for those lake walks (see item 7) Toys. We’re talking squeaky, fluffy, rope, rubber, whatever! Shelby’s quote: “Forever is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. Help me find my forever.”If you are interested in adopting Shelby, please visit www.pincdogrescue.com/adopt and submit an adoption application. You will also find our adoption process listed on that page. ##973534##

Hogan is an adorable little pocket pittie still looking for his forever home. He loves other dogs, loves to run and play and very food motivated and eager to learn!  Hogan does have a little bit of a fearful side if cornered so we do not recommend him being in a home with young children. ##983071##
