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.

Oliver is an adorable Aussie/Lab mix so we think? He was found as a stray so we don't have any idea who mom or dad is.

Oliver is about 11 weeks old right now and he is a smart little guy. He already knows how to sit and give paw. He is very curious about his surroundings and enjoys playing with other dogs. If you are paying attention he will bark at you to go outside to potty.

Oliver will need an active family that will include him in hiking, camping or other fun activities. Please fill out an application from our website if you would like to meet Oliver. Fenced yard required.

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 a 2 1/2 year old French/English Bulldog mix, (Frenglish breed) he weighs about 36 pounds. We rescued him from the shelter so we don't know how hard his past has been but he is such a happy boy.

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.

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.

Razin is a 5 yo Australian Shepherd. He knows lots of commands and walks great on a leash. He attaches easily. He really needs to be in a home with a single owner. We do not recommend him for a family. He is housebroken and does not need a crate. He is completely vetted and ready to find his forever home!

Meet Vera! She is a doll!! Vera is about a 5 year old Great Pyrennes mix and weighs about 65lbs. She is extremely laid back. Her pictures are perfect examples of what she does all day.. she lays around and cuddles with her humans. She is also equally independent. She will cuddle and then she likes to find places to "hide" such has under desks, chairs, or tables. She has shown no aggression at all. She is fostered in a home with multiple other laid back Great Pyrennes and is great with other dogs with her energy level. She is very respectful of other dogs. Eventhough she can be independent, she does have some separation anxiety when you leave the house. She would do best with someone who is home more often than not! Also, no apartments for her if she's going to be left home alone often due to barking. If you're looking for a dog to lounge around with you, Vera is your girl!! Vera is completely vetted and ready to find her forever home!!

Out of time at a high-kill animal control facility in another state, this petite and very nice boy is fortunate to call North Carolina home now and is seeking a forever home. He's quiet and unassuming, easy to walk on leash, goes to the door to wait or sit to be leashed before walks, does well around other dogs and children, would be a very nice companion or family pet.

Echo is a 2-year old, 44 lb bundle of sweetness, silliness & personality. She’s spayed, up to date with her shots, and ready to find a home that will love her playful spirit & help her continue to grow.

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!).
