2. Dallas
Foster Pet Alert: Meet Dallas!
Read more about Dallas
I am a tall guy and I might even have a little Great Dane in me or I could be a tall lab mix. I am a 2 year old, 76 lb puppy. I love dogs and need at least one other dog in my life to thrive. I get along with dogs of all sizes and ages although seniors are annoyed by my abounding joy. Paradoxically, I am very calm and chill for such a young pup. I seem to do well with cats that don't run away. I love taking a dip in the doggie pool and splashing in the rain and puddles, but I don’t really care for baths. How funny is that? I am good on a leash. I am not fond of getting in cars and my foster mom is working on that. I am not very food driven, but I am eating a salmon food diet to make my coat shiny. My foster mom defines me as A KEEPER which means she’d keep me if she could. So, I got a personal reference from a dog trainer—Sam, my foster mom is a dog trainer. She’s telling you how awesome I am because I got someone to fall in love with me already. Meet me and you can fall in love with me too. Call Jill at (910) 620-3783 for more info.

3. Sally--DEAF
SPECIAL NEEDS ALERT! Meet Sally! I am a DEAF 4 year old hound who weighs about 40 pounds. I am very pretty. I can be playful and fun when I want to. I am curious and smart, but I can't hear commands or reprimands so you need to figure out how to communicate with me. I respond to touch and I like to see you. I am crate trained, good with other dogs and cats and older kids. If you have other dogs I will follow them around and do what they do and I am very food motivated. I want to be with people and I cry when I am left alone. I can be quite vocal since I can't hear myself--so no apartment living for this girl.

I tested positive for Heartworms and they are treating me. There is no extra charge for it. They cover the cost. I can go foster to adopt through the treatment since it is a longer process. Do you have any experience with deaf dogs? Can you help them help me? Call Jill at (910) 620-3783 for a personal meet and greet.

8. Madonna

card will include processing fees
) which includes:
Annual distemper booster
Rabies
Spay/Neuter
Microchip
Madonna’s journey has been a scary one. Shortly after leaving the shelter, she was diagnosed with severe pneumonia and hospitalized. NCQ fought for her, and this sweet girl fought right alongside us.
After months of healing and learning to trust, Madonna has come so incredibly far.
She has formed a special bond with her foster dad and seems most comfortable with men, so a home with a male would be her best fit.
Does well with larger dogs, but is not comfortable with smaller dogs
Cat friendly
No small children, please
Read more about Madonna
Madonna is still cautious with new people and needs someone patient who will allow her to build trust at her own pace.
Private meet-and-greets are required so Madonna can meet potential adopters in an environment where she feels comfortable.
We didn’t rush Madonna while she was healing, and we won’t rush her now. She’s waited this long for the right person—and we know they’re out there.

Adopting a dog in Kings Grant
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
