Story
Sylvia was surrendered when her owner went into a nursing home and the family couldn't keep her. She's a senior cat and, common in older cats, Sylvia has mild chronic kidney disease (CKD). She also takes anti anxiety medication daily, mixed in with her food. You wouldn't know she's a senior cat though from the energy with which she plays with toys. She will seek you out for play time, pets, and to get brushed. She'll tell you when you stopped brushing her too soon. We're looking for an experienced adopter. She will need time and patience for her to get comfortable with you before you can see her sweet and playful side.

Story
He’s extremely friendly and loving. Always loves to sit on your lap and get a good scratch. He will also sleep on top of you till you move too much, then he’ll move. Dry food only. Will not eat wet. He’s indoor, and outdoor, and grew up on a farm here in town. He also loves outdoor animals and loves them too. If he kills a mouse, it was because the mouse was scared to death, lol. I’m 64 and recently broke my ankle, and non weight bearing still. I can’t keep getting up to let him in and out constantly. He was left alone while I was in the hospital and rehab, with maintenance guy checking his food and water daily. Neighbors constantly complained that he howled when he wanted in or out, and I’m only on beginning stages of recovery with ongoing surgeries in the future still to go through. Please love him, because he’s truly a sweet boy!

Story
Our pets are fostered and physically located in NC until adopted. Once adopted we can deliver to your location or one of our north eastern delivery locations. We have a transporter who delivers north ever other week. Sheldon came from a local shelter. They were over full and he was in danger of being euthanized. He is a german shepherd mix. The vet said he is around 2 years old( as of 6-22-23). He is a tall lanky dog, around 65 to 70 pounds. He is a sweet boy and very affectionate. He needs a home with room to run. He is energetic and would need an adopter who can embrace it. He will make THE BEST hiking buddy ever. He likes water to. He would be best in a home where he can be the only dog. If he can't be an only dog he needs a home with a large breed submissive female. He would also do well with puppies. He is doing well with crate training and house training. He will go to his new home current on vaccines, testing, preventives, neutered and microchipped. He will receive a complete physical by our vet prior to going home. He will also be issued a certificate of Health. The adopter will get all the health records with adoption. We require a pre screen application to adopt. You can get that on our website at www.saveamuttkennel.net
