Story
Larry has had a rough start to his life. Animal Control was called to pick him (and his two brothers) up from his previous home when his owners moved and left them behind. The 3 pups were found sitting in a crate in the yard with no food or water. These pups were so friendly and eager to greet the AC officer, they were really just happy to be alive and that someone found them. Even being at the shelter was sadly better than being in a crate on an abandoned property. All three are very friendly pups and love people. They are happy and affectionate little pups. Larry is 1.5 years old, 30 lbs, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative. We will post Moe separately. Their other brother Curly was taken in by another rescue group. If you are interested in making sweet Larry part of your family, please call or text Julie on 919 624 0059.

Story
💔 Shanghai Needs a Hero – Time Is Running Out! 💔 Thrown out of a car and found trembling under another, Shanghai has already survived more heartbreak than any dog should ever face. She was rescued off the streets only to end up in a high-kill shelter, where she’s now listed to be euthanized because she’s scared and defensive — but wouldn’t you be, too, after being so cruelly abandoned? Despite her fear, Shanghai shows glimpses of the gentle, loyal girl she truly is. She’s a beautiful brindle pittie with soulful eyes that beg for understanding. What she needs now isn’t judgment — it’s a patient, pittie-savvy person who can see past her fear and help her heal. She deserves to know love again. To have someone who won’t give up when she’s scared. Someone who will teach her that hands can be kind, and home can be safe. 🏡 Needs: • A calm, experienced home (no small kids) • Someone patient who understands the breed • Time, structure, and love to rebuild her trust 📍 Currently in a kill shelter — URGENTLY needs out! Please don’t let Shanghai’s story end here. She’s not “aggressive,” she’s heartbroken. ✨ Be her miracle. Be her hero. ✨ Please text Karen 4136298152

Meet Adalyn, URGENT HELP LISTED FOR EUTHANASIA AFTER SPENDING 538 DAYS ALONE AND CONFINED IN A KENNEL‼️ Adalyn came into the shelter 348 DAYS ago, as a stray. It’s becoming more than she can mentally handle. When you see her in the kennel, she is jumping and barking and super M agitated because we were more concerned with her injuring herself trying to get out to be with us. The shelter is a very lonely place to be when you have zero socialization and outside time to channel that energy. When she gets out, her heart is content. She wants to roll around in the grass and just be... Free. She’s content watching the happenings around her while soaking up the sun. PLEASE SHE DESERVES SOME HELP ‼️ PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152
