Story
Name: Petunia-Grace (Petunia, Poots, Tuni, Gracie) Age: 9 years Breed: Mini-Pittie Background: Petunia has faced numerous challenges throughout her life, finding herself in and out of the shelter nearly her entire life due to circumstances beyond her control. Sadly, she returned to the shelter once more when her owner unexpectedly passed away nearly two years ago. Despite her tumultuous past, Petunia remains hopeful that her forever person is out there waiting for her. Personality: Petunia takes time to warm up to new people and reveal her true nature. Once she forms a bond, her loyalty and affection knows no bounds. She's a dedicated protector, always seeking to be by her person's side and offering comfort through cuddles and belly rubs. Despite being a 9-year-old "couch potato," Petunia has a sweet disposition and the most captivating puppy dog eyes. Ideal Home: Petunia would thrive in a calm or quiet environment without other pets, where she can focus her attention on showering her chosen person with love and devotion. With the right person, Petunia will love fiercely and unconditionally, becoming an irreplaceable companion. She is very low energy and would love a home where she can hangout with you on the couch. Final Thoughts: Petunia is a sweet and affectionate soul longing for a stable and loving home. If you believe in her and are willing to dedicate the time to earn her trust, she will repay you with unwavering loyalty and love. Please consider giving Petunia the chance she deserves to be part of a family once again.

Willa

Pit Bull Terrier Catahoula Leopard Dog

Female, 3 yrs 6 mos
Cornelius, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Name: Willa Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog mix Age: 4 years old Background: Willa was surrendered from an unfortunate situation. She was adopted and returned 2 weeks later. She was then adopted by another family and returned 2 days later. She is now approaching her first year in the shelter. This has worn her down and she has started to become depressed in the shelter. Willa is loyal and protective. She appreciates her space and bonds strongly with her person, developing a need to protect her person and the area. Because of this, we believe she would do well in a home with a single individual or experienced dog owners that can crate train her and work with her protectiveness. Personality: Willa is a stunning and affectionate girl with a heart of gold. She's smart and eager to please, already learning commands like "heel," "lay down," and leash training during her short adoption. Willa has good manners, taking treats gently and refraining from jumping on people. She's described as a cuddle bug and enjoys reciprocating affection with gentle "petting" using her paw. Her tail wags enthusiastically, and she'll even do a playful bow to show her excitement. She is a perfect balance of low and medium energy - she is content to lounge and play with toys by herself, but she also enjoys the occasional hike or adventure. Ideal Home: Willa is seeking a confident, gentle, and experienced owner who understands her needs. Although she's incredibly sweet and smart, she gets protective of the person she bonds with and their space. She sometimes views outsiders as threatening. She needs proper decompression time in a new home, as she's been in the shelter so long. She would be the perfect dog for a single owner, as she is loyal and would make sure her person is safe. She would do well with a male dog or as an only dog and meet and greets are recommended. Final Thoughts: Willa is a wonderful companion waiting for the perfect match. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and intelligent canine companion, come meet Willa at the shelter during opening hours. She's sure to steal your heart with her charm and loving nature.

Meet Kayak, a sweet and loving 4-year old hound mix girl. Kayak was abandoned by the lake and found by a good Samaritan who was going kayaking, hence how she got her name.

Kayak has been fixed, up-to-date on her shots and heartworm negative. If you would like to meet this wonderful girl, please email info@angelstotheanimals.org.

Story
This is a COURTESY POST, so this dog is not at the Cornelius Animal Shelter. If you're interested in Keo, please contact his foster parent at 302-438-5766. Meet Keo! This big teddy bear is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. We believe Keo is around 3 or 4 years old. Our son started fostering him when his prior owner left the area and couldn’t take Keo with him, but he wasn’t an appropriate dog for a small apartment. When he first joined us, he was underweight and having gut issues. After much testing we discovered that Keo has a form of Addison's Disease, which is easily treated with a small dose of prednisone. His health is now excellent, and he’s at a good weight and is very happy! We’ve been fostering Keo for several months now, and he gets along very well with our 4 other dogs (both males and females). He loves to play, preferring to chase and be chased rather than retrieving balls or sticks. Keo loves taking walks and he likes to wade in the water down at the lake. He likes a comfy dog bed and will sleep on the floor right next to your bed if you let him. He doesn’t get on the furniture unless invited and is not a “counter surfer”. When Keo is excited, he vocalizes like a husky, but is otherwise a quiet dog – he doesn’t bark at other dogs or passers-by. As a larger black dog he looks imposing, but you can see the sweetness and focus in his beautiful blue eyes. Give Keo a chance, you won’t regret it! He deserves a great home.

Meet Ace, a friendly and affectionate 1 year old, handsome Siberian Husky. Ace is playful but gentle and is very loyal. He still has puppy in him which makes him so much fun.

Ace weighs 55 lbs, is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccines and is heartworm negative. He is potty trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash with a harness.

Story
G-Dog is a young, gentle happy-go-lucky pup whose entire back end wiggles when he is happy, which is pretty much all the time! He had lived outdoors and was pretty neglected before Angels to the Animals rescued him. G-Dog adapts well to any situation as he now loves living with his foster family where he enjoys playing with their large dog and their 2 teenage boys. Prior to being rescued, he played well with a small chihuahua so he likes all shapes and sized. G loves toys and can be somewhat possessive of them with other dogs so this needs to be watched. G-Dog is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccines and is heartworm negative. He is an affectionate, friendly boy who is funny and loves kisses. Please give this sweetheart a chance and email info@angelstotheanimals.org to arrange a meet and greet or request an application. You will love making him a part of your family - he will love you forever!
