This neutered, fully vetted, and chipped gent embodies agility, effortlessly leaping onto couches and chairs as if auditioning for a canine Cirque du Soleil.

He is 16 lbs and probably 8 years old. He was found roaming the streets of Auburn, Alabama.  He is being fostered in Wilmington, NC.   Adoption fee: $200.00 Out-of-state adoptions are possible; however, the approved adoptive home is responsible for making the necessary arrangements to pick up their new little one.   To be considered to adopt me, please fill out an APPLICATION.   NOTE: SCMR DOES NOT adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 years or homes with Electric Fences.

Story
Everyone that sees Luna says she is the happiest pup they have ever seen! Her whole body wags when she sees you! She is 9 months old, has completed obedience training and knows her stuff! She loves to get brushed, is able to be crated up to 8 hours and is never aggressive! Luna lost a hind leg at a very early age but that does not slow her down at all! She is able to hop up in the car and runs with the others as if she has all fours! She comes with a crate, bed, cot, a pin with room to spread out, food bowls, leash, collar w/info tag. I am struggling personally and want to find a good home while she is young. Luna will be a great addition to any home and will do well with children and other pets.

Story
Hi this is Kody, he is a sweet boy but unfortunately we will not be able to keep Kody with my wife being pregnant and it’s becoming to much of a difficult task for her to keep up with him while I am away at work. We are looking for a loving home for Kody who has the time and patience, we adopted him from a breeder in northern South Carolina, this was her last liter as she was getting to old for the responsibilities. Kody loves walks and playing with little toy ropes and especially playing indoors. He is updated on shots, half way potty trained and crate trained. Kody is going on five months, still a little baby at his adult age he is bound to be around 60-70 pounds like his dad who was a golden doodle as well, his mommy was a golden retriever. If you are interested in adopting Kody into your new family, please feel free to reach out

Story
Suede, our 2-year-old chocolate labradoodle with snow spots, is an absolute sweetheart. His love and loyalty know no bounds. Suede’s superpower? Energy! He plays with passion, and when it’s time to rest, he sleeps just as enthusiastically. 🐾 But that’s not all—Suede thrives in the company of people. His rough exterior hides a gentle soul, and soon enough, you’ll witness his tender side. 🌟 This unique pup deserves a loving family who will cherish him as much as we do. ❤️🐶

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ace was actually born in my home when I pulled his pregnant mom from a high kill shelter and then found homes for all his siblings but I couldn’t let him go; he’s so handsome, and very funny and sweet, a lot of (good) personality! He likes to talk to people, and carry around ppls shoes just to lay with them. The issue for Ace is the past couple of years his brother and him have had random issues, as you see 99% of the time they cuddle but the mood catches wrong and they will fight. I have done a lot of things over the years to mitigate this but it randomly can happen and I know the best thing for him is to be an only dog where he can have all the love and attention, as much as it kills me. Ace does not care for cats, mostly bc we don’t have any. The couple of small kids he’s been around made him nervous so for his protection he shouldn’t be around them; but every adult that meets him instantly falls in love he is a great breed ambassador. Ace does crate when I’m not home
