Read more about Mai Mai
Mai Mai is a delightful 6-year-old female Japanese Chin weighing 14 pounds. She is a gentle, sweet girl with a charming personality who gets along wonderfully with other dogs.
True to her breed, Mai Mai has some endearing and unique quirks! She does the classic Japanese Chin "chin wave," happily waving her front paws to greet you or get your attention. She is also meticulously tidy and loves to groom herself just like a cat.
Mai Mai is searching for a loving home with a securely fenced yard, as she is not yet leash-trained and needs a safe outdoor space to explore at her own pace. She would thrive in a patient household that can help her continue to build confidence and learn new routines.
If you are looking for a tender, loving companion to add warmth and joy to your home, Mai Mai is ready to win your heart!

Read more about Chip
Chip is an adorable 4-year-old Yorkie mix weighing 9 pounds. His coarse coat is low maintenance and low to no shed.
Chip is an active, athletic terrier who loves toys and is good at entertaining himself. He would make a great companion for someone who enjoys walking or is interested in clicker training. Like most terriers, he'll bark when there's something worth announcing, and he is undeterred by his tiny size.
Chip is initially unsure when he meets new people, but learned quickly to trust his foster mom and other women. He is slower to trust men, so his adopter will need to be patient and allow him time to adjust at his pace.
Because Chip is quick and can dart through open doors, his new family must be vigilant around exterior doorways.
The ideal home for Chip would be with someone who has experience going slow and moving at Chip’s pace and wants to bond with a dog through training and enrichment activities.
Chip has made great progress with house training in his foster home, and needs a patient person to continue his routine and training.
Chip will do best as an only dog; however, he has learned to co-exist peacefully in his foster home.
Please email h2hadoptions@gmail.com directly. There is an application process and a $500 adoption fee.

Chase is a fun-sized 5lb Yorkie who is 6 years old. He is a great cuddler and the perfect lap buddy.
Read more about Chase
Chase can be shy when you first meet him. He came to us as a breeder-release dog, having never lived in a home as someone’s beloved pet. Many dogs like this have never been on a leash or set foot on grass to potty. Chase was a little reserved in the beginning, but since adjusting to his foster family, he has really come to life.
Chase is smart and curious. He’s always smiling and gets excited when you talk or play chase with him. He loves to play with the other dogs in his foster home. We require his adoptive home to have another small social dog under 12lbs so he can continue to watch and learn from another dog in the home.
Chase is still learning house-training and leash walking, so he will need someone with time and patience to help him be successful. We require an all-adult home with a small, securely fenced yard. The fenced yard is not so he can be left alone, but to help with house-training, since most pups do not want someone hovering over them when trying to potty. Chase is trying to learn how to use stairs, so we prefer a home with limited to no stairs.
There is an application process and adoption fee.

4. Powerade
Meet Powerade
Powerade is a 3-year-old yellow lab mix with the softest eyes and the sweetest soul. He might start off a little shy, but give him a minute (and maybe a treat), and suddenly you’ve got a full-blown Velcro dog who thinks your personal space is a myth.
Read more about Powerade
Pow may have had a rough start, judging by some of his scars - but he’s well on his way to a happier life! His luck began to change one cold, December day when he ran into the Food Lion on Alamance Church Rd in Greensboro, seeking warmth and help. GCAS Animal Control picked him up and brought him to the shelter, even allowing him to ride shotgun on the way there! After some time at GCAS he began to show signs of stress and was able to go to foster.
While in foster, we’ve learned that this guy is the total package:
- House trained
- Crate trained
- Walks nicely on leash
- Knows “sit” (especially if snacks are involved)
- Treat and toy motivated (fetch = his love language)
Once he warms up, Powerade is goofy, playful, and so affectionate. He loves a good game of fetch just as much as he loves melting into you for snuggles. He will follow you room to room just to make sure he’s not missing out (can we say FOMO?)
Pow does have a couple of endearing quirks:
Occasionally jumps up when he’s excited, but redirects beautifully into a sit
Can be a little “mouthy” in an affectionate, playful way—he uses his mouth to explore the world, and responds well to gentle correction
Powerade would thrive in a home that understands his sensitive side:
Has done well with kids as young as 3, but due to his size and occasional jumping up would likely do best with older kids or adults
No cats or small animals (that retriever instinct is strong)
Could potentially live with another dog with very slow, thoughtful introductions, but may also be happiest as your one-and-only. He has done well with other dogs in public spaces and frequently “buddy walks” with friends in the neighborhood.
Health note: Powerade previously tested heartworm positive while at the shelter, but now has a negative test!
What makes Powerade truly special is his heart. This boy has been through a lot, but you’d never know it by how deeply he loves. He is trusting, loyal, and endlessly affectionate—a certified good boy who just wants someone to belong to.
If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly shadow with a playful streak and a heart of gold… Powerade might just be your perfect match.

5. Polly
From Polly’s Foster -
Polly has settled in beautifully and has been an absolute sweetheart! She loves belly rubs and is happiest when she’s curled up or sitting right beside her person. She’s incredibly affectionate and never misses an opportunity to hand out plenty of kisses.
She’s fully crate trained and happily puts herself to bed in her crate each night. Polly has only barked a couple of times over the past week, and both were simply to let us know someone was at the door.
Read more about Polly
She walks nicely on a leash with very little pulling and is highly food and treat motivated, always taking treats gently. She loves her toys, especially a good game of fetch!
Polly already knows several commands, including sit, shake, come, down, kiss, walk, no, and crate.
She would thrive as the only pet in the home. While she is non-reactive to dogs and cats when on a leash, she is not a fan of living with cats. Polly also loves the water! She enjoys swimming and has even gone paddle boating with a previous foster.
Her ideal home would have older children or teenagers and a securely fenced yard where she can run, play, and enjoy life to the fullest.

6. Oggie
Meet Oggie!
Applicant:
Oggie
Age:
2 years young
Build:
Big, athletic & professionally clumsy
Special Skills:
Master toy dissector, professional car-ride enthusiast & Olympic-level cuddler!
Oggie is a big, goofy Shepherd/Boxer/Lab mix who earned his name because, well… he’s a little bit of an ogre! But don’t let his size fool you—inside this big body is pure honey-colored sweetness.
Oggie is the
ultimate leaner
. He’ll glue his big body to your legs for chest scratches, then happily plop down for belly rubs. He loves his people, loves attention, and would happily spend his days as your oversized shadow.
Read more about Oggie
And this handsome guy is already a certified good boy! Oggie is
fully house- and crate-trained
and knows his basic commands, including
sit, shake, down and crate
. He’s also a huge fan of car rides and can turn just about any toy into a fun dissection project!
Oggie is a social butterfly and
loves other dogs
. If he spots a potential dog friend, though, his recall can mysteriously disappear! He can also get a little
mouthy when he’s excited
, so because he is a strong, enthusiastic boy who sometimes forgets just how big he is, he needs an
experienced big-dog adopter
who can provide confident leadership and continue working with him on his manners and training.
Oggie would do best with
older, dog-savvy kids
who are comfortable around large dogs. A resident dog who enjoys having a big, goofy playmate would be a wonderful bonus!
If you’re ready for a gentle giant who will fill your life with
love, laughs, heavy leans, goofy antics and endless cuddles
, Oggie is ready to meet you. Just bring the chest and belly scratches! ❤️
Oggie is looking for his forever adopter!

7. Maddison
Meet “Madi,” a beautiful dog who is looking for a family to call her own! After suffering a terrible injury last year, Madi bravely underwent a leg amputation. She has adapted beautifully as a tripod and doesn’t let it slow her down!
She enjoys going for walks and loves going for rides in the car. She likes toys and will happily entertain herself with them before curling up on a comfy bed or a cozy lap for a nap.
Read more about Maddison
While she has so much love to give, she will need a patient and understanding family who can help her continue building confidence. New environments and unfamiliar situations can make her nervous, and she is sometimes reactive when seeing people through a barrier like a window or gate. She would be happiest in a calm home without young children. Because she is uneasy around other animals, she would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can feel safe and secure without added stress. Madi is not a fan of cats and should be in a cat-free home.

8. Moe
Meet Moe!
❤️
Hi! My name is
Moe
, and I’m the sweetest, goofiest boy you’ll ever meet! At just
1 year old
, I’m still a puppy with lots of love, energy, and personality to share.
Right now, I’m in need of a foster or forever family. If I don’t find one soon, I’ll have to go into boarding. That would make me incredibly sad because my favorite place is right by my people. I’m hoping someone will open their heart and home to me!
Here’s a little about me:
I LOVE to play! Tug, fetch, rope toys—you name it! I’ll even bring you my favorite rope toy to let you know it’s playtime.
Read more about Moe
I’m a handsome guy with beautiful reddish-fawn coloring, stunning eyes, and the cutest ears you’ve ever seen.
I sleep quietly in my crate at night and settle nicely when tethered in the house. I even enjoy relaxing to soothing music! I’d make a great work-from-home buddy, but I’m also comfortable being crated when you need to leave.
I’m not reactive on walks around dogs, cars, strollers, or other distractions. I can be a little strong on leash at first, but I settle down as the walk continues, especially in quieter environments.
I’d love a fenced yard or an active family because playing and exploring are some of my favorite things!
I’m dog-friendly and enjoy having playful canine companions who like to romp as much as I do.
I’m affectionate, lovable, and convinced I’m the perfect lap dog—all 55 pounds of me!
Sometimes I get so excited to see my people that I jump up to say hello. I’m still learning that four paws on the floor is the best way to greet people, so I’d do best with older children while I work on my manners.
I’m a smart boy who loves treats, wants to please, and enjoys learning. With a little guidance and consistency, I’ll make an amazing companion.
I’m just looking for a family who will love me, help me continue learning, and let me be the happy puppy I’m meant to be.
Can you foster or adopt me so I don’t have to go to boarding?
If you’re interested in Moe, please complete an adoption or foster application at

. I can’t wait to meet my forever family!

Echo is equal parts affectionate companion & goofy entertainer. She’ll keep you smiling with her little antics-like proudly ‘borrowing’ a sneaker from the front door & carrying it into the living room like she’s just won a prize (don’t worry she’s more about the fun than the destruction if you catch her in time!).
Read more about Echo
She’s currently in foster with two resident dogs who are older, and while kind & tolerant, are not quite able to keep up with her youthful energy & antics.
What makes her special:

- Food motivated (she loves treats, which makes training fun & effective)
- Can entertain herself with Kongs & durable chews
- Sweet, affectionate, and enjoys being close to her people
- Loves relaxing outdoors-especially perched on outdoor furniture like she owns it
What’s she’s still working on:
- Pulls on leash and would benefit from continued leash training
- Gets excited & may jump up when greeting you
- Still learning not to counter surf
- Not gentle with soft toys-she prefers the tough stuff
Echo is a smart, loving dog who thrives with a bit of structure & consistency. She’s already got a great foundation & with continued guidance will make an incredible loyal & fun companion.
Her ideal home:
Someone who will embrace her playful nature, committed to helping her continued learning and give her guidance & affection. She’ll do best with someone patient, engaged & ready for a dog with personality.

Izzy is a very special girl who needs a loving and understanding home. She is a 3 1/2 year old Golden Retriever.
Her owner got her from a shelter when she was a puppy. Her owner wasn't fond of her and then got really mad when she showed signs of food aggression. We got her out of that situation but 3.5 years is a long time to live with someone who doesn't really like you.
Izzy does have food aggression with other dogs but it is something that we are working on with a trainer. She needs a new home without kids and possibly no other dogs.

She also currently has Lyme disease that will make her sore and uncomfortable and maybe a little grumpy. We are looking for a foster home or a new forever home that understands a dog with food aggression and can help us train her that she will never be denied a meal.

This sweet girl needs our help. Her owner is devastated but has no other option but to find her a new home.
Her name is Pepper and she is about 9 years old and weighs 35 pounds. Her breed is called a Middle Eastern village dog. Her owner rescued her from an agency that goes overseas and rescues dogs in Pakistan and Kuwait ,she is actually from Kuwait.
As you can see from her pictures she knows how to smile and have a good time. She is a little leary of men especially if they have sunglasses or a hat on. She is great with children and loves most other dogs, we would have to do a meet and greet before foster or adoption.

We don't know what her life was like before her owner got her and it is understandable that she is scared of gunshots and fireworks. All this is handled with some love and special hugs from everyone that cares for her.

Biscuit is a 5 year old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix, he weighs about 60 pounds.
We adopted Biscuit out to a lovely couple 3 years ago. Unfortunately they are having health issues and we need to find Biscuit a new home.
Biscuit's pros: Amazing with kids of all ages, doesn't bark unless absolutely necessary, good with other dogs, loves attention and is loyal.
Biscuit's con's: chases small animals like rabbits and squirrels, we are thinking no cats because of this, he is stubborn and afraid of thunder and fireworks. We said he is good with other dogs and he is but he can get protective with his owner when unknown dogs are around.

Meatball is super sweet and just wants to be with his humans. He came to us with a very bad skin condition. His foster parents have done a wonderful job clearing that up and making him feel so much better. Meatball loves other dogs and is great with kids.
Read more about Meatball
He will need a family that is experienced with French and English bulldog breeds since they can have a lot of health issues. Meatball is very special to us and we want him to be placed in the perfect home for him. He will need someone who is home often and has a safe fenced in yard where he can enjoy his potty and play time.
We will not be asking an adoption donation for the total of his vet bill because that is very high. Instead since he is considered a crossbreed (designer dog) we will be asking a $400 adoption donation to help pay down his vet bill.

Sasha is a 2 year old Terrier mix weighing in at 27.4 pounds. She was a stray and was picked up by animal control. She had been there for 18 days and they were running out of options so we scooped her up in hopes to find her a good home.
Sasha is a very sweet girl with a big heart. She loves other dogs and humans and just wants to please everyone. She is 2 years old and didn't know what a leash was so she is going to need a little work with a harness and leash. One of the volunteers at the shelter took her out to the creek and she did so wonderful with her and her little girl.

Adopting a dog in Mayodan
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.
