Story
After 4 years we’ve decided it’s best to rehome our Jack Russel mix Jade to no fault of her own. She is a fantastic dog and we hope to find her a home that loves her for the beautiful soul that she is. She is house trained, crate trained, good with kids and other dogs. She has never been around cats but would probably do okay. She is a snuggler and loves to cuddle and lay in your lap. She does well on a leash, harness or collar. She did well as an apartment dog but is high energy so would do best with regular walks. She is microchipped, fixed and up to date on all shots. She knows sit, lay, stay, drop it and loves fetch. She loves being the center of attention and unfortunately we just can’t give her the time and attention she needs and deserves at this time.

Story
Kay Dee is excellent with children & adults. She thinks everyone loves her - whether they know it or not. Unfortunately, as she has gotten older she has become very aggressive towards our older mini poodle. We had hoped that this was a phase but has gotten worse over the past 6 months. We only want both to live out their lives happy.

Story
In need of a loving and permanent home for a healthy, playful, energetic puppy. Benson is about 2.5 months old. He's currently living with four cats, but he really enjoys being around other dogs. Benson is crate trained and sleep through most of the night. He will sit like a good boy for a treat after going outside. He knows not to poop inside the house, but is still learning he needs to go outside everytime he needs to pee. He loves tug of war and chewing on rawhide bones. His puppy teeth have all come in and is still learning not to bite. Benson would do really well with owners who have experience raising young pups and have another dog or puppy to play with. He loves attention and playtime. Benson is part harrier and golden retriever. He weighed 10lbs at his last vet apt where he received dewormer, his first distemper, and his monthly dose of flea, tick, and heart worm prevention. In another week or two he will be ready for his first rabies vaccine.

Story
I adopted Tanner from the Wake County animal shelter when he was 2 years old. He just turned 8 years old this year but you wouldn't know it. He still gets the zoomies and sprints around the yard at full speed until he tires and loves playing tug of war with a rope. When I take him to the dog park people ask me how old he is thinking he's a puppy and are startled when I tell them he's a senior. He gets along great with other dogs, loves kids and people, and never barks inside the house (he does bark outside though). Tanner is a very low maintenance pup. I've never had to put him in a crate, He doesn't chew up furniture or belongings and can hold his pee all day until I get back from work. He's handsome, he's always been healthy, his coat is soft and he does't smell bad like some other dogs. Unfortunately my girlfriend is severely allergic to dogs and we can't live together until Tanner finds a new home, otherwise I would spend many more years with this happy pup.

Story
This sweet girl was fostered from what seemed to be a bad situation. While fostering her, she spent most of her time in an open-door crate, finding comfort there. Within the week, this sweet girl was venturing into the room and eventually started wagging her tail more often. She will require lots and lots of love in the beginning. She is easily startled and will rush to her crate for comfort. She LOVES the fenced backyard and taking leashed walks by ponds. She walks well on a leash but will stop in her tracks if she does not want to go in a specific direction. Her tail is often tucked when she walks, but she calms down after going to familiar spots. She seems to be house-trained, had no accidents, and can go many hours without using the bathroom. She does not bark in her crate or in general. She has interacted with our two dogs, which has gone well, and she seems to be more scared of children in the beginning. She is a low-maintenance sweet pup who just needs lots and lots of love.
