Story
MEET LOUIE! He is a hound mix who was left behind when someone in a rural community moved out and left him to fend for himself. He found his way to Adopt An Angel thru a volunteer. He is such a sweet, happy and smart fellow! At about only 5 months old, he already keeps a neat kennel and uses the bathroom as soon as he is outside. He LOVES other dogs and would so enjoy a playmate. He gets along with everything and everyone, including cats and loves to play ball! Louie is also very quiet and only kind of whimpers when he gets excited. He is a perfect family dog and has the cutest little cowlick on his head! Come meet him at Petco on Sat from 11:30-3:30 or call Jill at 910-620-3783. July 14, 2024, 4:55 pm

MEET TIMOTHY! I am a 21 pound knee high 6 month old hound puppy. I am FULL of joy. I am great with cats, kids, dogs and I love toys. I love to fling them in the air and make them squeak. I am working on housebreaking and can be vocal occasionally like hounds are. I am the happiest, bubbly, goofy, funny boy you will ever meet. Call Jill at (910) 620-3783 to meet me or come see me at Petco on Sat from 11:30-3:30. July 8, 2024, 6:54 pm

Story
SPECIAL HOME NEEDED! My name is Mallory and nice to meet you. I am a shy 8 month old 45 pound pit bull who is AS SWEET AS PIE! I am so lovable and cuddly and I have the prettiest gray eyes. But, I am afraid of loud noises and new things. I need a very special person and a very special home. Are you special? Do you think you can help me? I need to live in a home with another confident dog who will teach me the ropes and will let me follow them around. I LOVE dogs and I am oblivious to cats. I need a QUIET home since I am still learning that the pop of the toaster, the vacuum cleaner, and the sound of a chip bag won't hurt me. I need a fenced in yard and a family with patience and who has experience with fearful dogs. I would not do well with children since I am so easily frightened. When I am scared, I want to run for cover and hide or run to my safe spot. I thrive on consistency and routines and I would love it if my person was home a lot. I am housebroken and I love to sit on the couch next to my person. I love to sleep in bed with you too. I feel safe on the couch and in bed. When I feel comfortable, I will play with my doggie friends. Only Serious People Should Reach Out to Jill at 910-620-3783. I may take months to become a normal dog, or I may always be SHY so can you accept me for who I am? In summary, I need a couch, a bed, a dog, a fenced in yard and a patient person who has experience with scared dogs. Call Jill at 910-620-3783. July 14, 2024, 4:55 pm
