Story
Meet Jack! He is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs 50 lbs. He was rescued on the last day before he was to be euthanized. He is very affectionate to his foster family, especially the 1 and 2 1/2 year old children. Jack gets along well with the family's puppy, but does not like cats or other dominant dogs. He is a very intelligent dog and is full of love and loyalty. He has congenital hip dysplasia, but that does not slow him down a bit. For more information or an adoption application, contact Nancy Foltz at 704-616-4904 or NEFoltz@Yahoo.com

Story
This handsome boy was picked up running loose in an apartment complex. He had a collar on with no ID and was not microchipped. He came right to the people who found him and was brought to me to keep and either find his owners or rehome. He was not neutered, but we did have him neutered on 6/13; his vaccinations were updated, and he was microchipped. He has since healed from his procedure, and he has stopped marking. He does get along well with other dogs and cats. He attempts to mount other dogs, which will continue for a few months/until his hormones have entirely left his system. He has been around small animals and has done very well. He has an inquisitive nature about him. He needs to be kept separate at meal times and with treats. He is not used to eating around other dogs, and although this may improve with time and training, I am still very cautious. He is around 1-2 years old. He is crate trained and we are working on leash training. He wants all the love, cuddle and playtime!
