Charli

Golden Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs

Durham, NC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Charli, a 27 lb small retriever mix. This short-haired tawny femme is inquisitive, playful, and rockin' her name-sake's Brat Summer vibes. We think she's about 2 years old, but don't let that fool you- she's a tough mother who was found with one 11 week old puppy! Charli will let you know how she feels with her sweet howls, and if you made her day with her happy tap-taps and super fast tail wags. Charli loves to play and keeps the party going - especially getting street cred for being the BEST walking buddy on leash (she couldn't be bothered to pull!). She's sweet and quiet when she's not in play mode, and loves a good stretch and a couch nap. She's also fully crate and house trained! Honestly, her sploot and tail wag combo would sell anyone on Brat summer!

Gus

Details

Story

Gus is a special lady. It truly breaks my heart to be rehoming her. However, I am recognizing that my skills as a pet parent do not encompass the support she required. PROS: Gus has lived with 2 cats in the 5 years I have owned her. They get along great! She recently has had 2 dog roommates added to the mix and gets along well with them too with a slow and intentional interdiction. She can be silly, LOVES to snuggle, has an avocado stuffy that is her best friend. She doesn’t like squeaker toys, so she is quiet! Definitely low/calm energy. CHALLENGEShe is anxious, and so can be reactive. Because of this, I have been giving her Fluoxentine in the mornings per the vet’s instruction to aid her with her anxiety. She can get a bit protective of resources, so feeding separately is wise. She can jump/bare teeth when you sneeze or cough and does not board well. Gus is best suited for an experience adopter who is kind, patient, and willing/able to support Gus with her eccentricities.

Story

Hi there, I'm Daria - your golden-hued canine companion, and I'm on a mission to spread sweetness and a dash of spice wherever I go! Picture this: I'm an adult dog who's got the sweetness game down to an art. Lounging is my specialty, and I take great pride in lavishing belly rubs and kisses upon my favorite people. When it comes to lazing around, consider me the expert. My sunny disposition lights up any room, and I've got a soft spot for curling up beside you for some quality relaxation time. I'm the embodiment of sugar, and my love for people knows no bounds. Now, let's talk about the spice - I do have doggo friends and I love to play hard. Go hard or go home I think you two legged people say and that works when it comes to my romping time. Oh, did I mention I'm potty and crate trained? Yep, I've got those skills down too. Your home will be my haven, and I'll make sure to keep everything neat and tidy. So, if you're looking for a furry friend who brings a perfect blend of sweetness, lazy lounging, and a touch of spice to your life, look no further. I'm Daria, and I'm ready to add some flavor to our adventure together! *Feedback from a weekend host includes: "She rode great in the car. Didn't make a peep". "She is a very affectionate little girl". Recent host commented: "She sure is a couch potato, as soon as we got to the house she made herself @ home on the sofa & chilled. She felt at ease so I knew we hit it off right away." "She's a super sweet girl very well behaved and would be a wonderful addition to any home. " **Volunteer Dog Walker feedback: "She was very sociable with both humans and other dogs. She LOVES the water and. Jumped into every possible puddle/little stream (super fun). She was very energetic and pulled a little but very manageable".

" "He is happy to sleep in his crate and can be caught sneaking back in for a nap during the day. " "He took a nap with us and our other dog in the bed and was a great snuggler.

Ruby

Golden Retriever Labrador Retriever

Female, 5 yrs 7 mos

Raleigh, NC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ruby is a very sweet, easygoing, gorgeous dog. She is friendly with adults and kids who approach her calmly. She's not a fan of chaos and loud noises and doesn't like to be hugged/have people in her face, so younger kids aren't the ideal family for her. Ruby prefers to be the only dog in her home...but kitty friends seem just fine. She loves the cat in her foster home. Ruby likes to hang out where you are but is not clingy. She just enjoys your presence. She prefers a cozy bed near her people over snuggling on the couch, so you never have to worry about dog hair on your furniture. Ruby has completed her heartworm treatment and will get re-tested in a few months to confirm that she is totally HW-negative. She does have arthritis in her legs, which causes her some pain and stiffness. She's responded very well to monthly medication injections to ease her discomfort. Her forever home should be willing to continue this for her so she can live a great, pain-free life for years to come. Ruby is more of a "homebody and she would love a quiet home with a nice yard she can sunbathe in--that's her FAVORITE thing to do! Since noises and "strangers can be hard for her, Ruby would do best in a house instead of an apartment/townhouse situation. She is house-trained, rides well in a car, and walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a sweet, easygoing dog, Ruby may be just the dog for you!
