Story
Max is two years old. I have to re-home him and his sister due to them getting neglected after I moved, my grandma can’t take care of them alone and my family failed to help her. They need a loving home that can give them the care, love & attention they deserve! They can go separately. Max is a very sweet boy, he loves cuddles & squeaky toys.

Story
Cookie is a really timid and shy dog who’s and 11 months old. I got her last year in July 1st and been keeping her ever since. My cousin was going to adopt her so he asked me to watch Cookie for him since he was in the military and his wife was busy working. It was until December or January that he decided he didn’t want Cookie anymore and wanted to adopt a pit bull instead. He didn’t tell us and I’ve just been watching Cookie. Cookie is protective and can sense if your energy is bad or good. She is sassy and will side eye you from time to time. Once she gets used to you, she will adore you. She loves eating my food, she snatched my food out of my hand many times before. I’m looking for an owner who will love her the same way I love her. Who will take care of her and treat her well. Someone who’s experienced with raising dogs that are a bit tougher to raise than most dogs. I’m in a desperate situation and struggling right now, I just want Cookie to live well.

Ciara

German Shepherd Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos
Raleigh, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ciara is an amazing dog who stands out for her distinctive appearance! Despite not having the typical GSD look, DNA results show she is predominantly that breed and she exhibits the loyalty, agility and playfulness that epitomize the breed without the size or heavy double coat. Her love for tennis balls has become legendary and a big yard is a playground where she can unleash her athleticism and revel in chasing squirrels and other "intruders". Despite her love for solo adventures, Ciara loves to play with her foster fur siblings and meet dogs while on walks. She could thrive as an only pet or with a canine companion (one her size or larger) for zooming around or wrestling. While initially shy with people, once she warms up, she loves getting and giving affection to those she trusts and loves. To unlock her full potential, she will excel with an experienced owner who can provide her with the right balance of physical and mental exercise and training (and pets!) For the lucky person or family, having Ciara by their side promises every day will be full of adventure, joy, laughter, and the devotion of a remarkable dog.

Story
Are you there God? It's me, Angel. I moved into FRR a few months ago after losing the only home I ever knew when my person had to move into a medical facility without me. At first, I was scared. Suppose my foster family didn't like me? Suppose I hated my new yard? Thankfully, I didn't have to worry about any of that. My foster family says I live up to my name, and I'm the happiest, silliest, most well-behaved girl you'll meet. I love rolling in the grass, chasing my ball, and belly scootin' in the yard- but it's not all fun and games, I keep up with the backyard critter patrol too. And when I'm off patrol duty, you can find me napping inside on the softest bed available. I also love to go for walks, they keep me looking and feeling my best. Don't be fooled by my silver face, I walk a couple of miles a day! In my last home, I lived with another dog and could live with another calm dog, or as your one and only. I'm an easy-going sweet girl with my golden years ahead of me, and I really don't want to live them alone. Please help me find my forever home. Thank you.
