Story
Penny is very sweet white with gray spots and loves to cuddle. She wants to be a couch potato but also loves to be outside. We are a military family and unfortunately our next place won’t allow dogs and we have no other option. She should be in an only dog house, but loves every person she’s ever met. Our kids love her, we will miss her.

Story
Buddy is a 5 yr old male. The progress he has made with us in the past year is amazing! He has been going to training and is literally the smartest boy! He is so eager to please his person but does take time to trust new people. He has gotten SO MUCH better with interactions. He really is ready for his forever home! Buddy does needs to be your only pet, and no kids for him.

Story
We have faith there’s someone out there for everyone. Calixx came in on 12/22/2022, so the 22nd of June it will be 1.5 yrs. He was adopted out for 6 months of that time, but returned in 9/2023. Calixx is a 4.5 yr old bulldog mix. He loves attention and loves to give hugs, but does need to work on his jumping/leash skills as he is extremely high energy. He’d be great with an active person who could give him plenty of daily exercise. He seems to prefer women, but he’s a big strong boy, so needs someone who can handle his energy.💪 Calixx has met a lot of other dogs and did better with smaller dogs. No cats or kids for this big lug.Please share and help Calixx get out of the shelter. 🙏🏻

Story
Once upon a time, there was a lovable black and white girl named Kanga. Kanga somehow ended up at a southern shelter that routinely euthanizes because they run out of room to house everyone. Kanga was heartbroken and scared in the shelter. NCPAS was able to rescue her at the last minute and get her to safety! Kanga dreams of being adopted into a home with no other pets, a warm bed, plenty of toys, and a loving family. She can't wait to live the rest of her life in a loving home. She's only 3 and a nice medium-size. The adoption application is at northcountrypetadoption.org

Story
Charlie is a happy, playful, 1 year old pup. He's spent time around children of all ages and is relaxed and playful around them. He was surrendered to NYC ACC when his owner moved out of state to a place that doesn't allow pets. That owner noted their favorite thing about Charlie is his playfulness, friendliness & companionship. Charlie's favorite activities are chewing, running, and chasing. When you are home, he tends to follow you around or be in the same room. He likes to play with balls, squeakies & chew/bones. He likes to fetch, chase, wrestle & tug.
