He is just SO sweet. Patch is reliably housetrained, uses the doggie door consistently, and sleeps quietly through the night on his foster parents' bed, usually snuggled up to one or the other of them. He is patiently waiting for his wonderful forever family to come along so that he can have the home and family that he deserves.

Born: July, 2008

Some nice lady took me out of there but couldn’t keep me…then my foster mom got me. I have 5 foster siblings that I play with. I like playing with them, but the boys are sometime rough, so I have to tell them who’s boss. I am looking for a home that will be able to keep up with me, because I have a lot of energy. I love attention, and get along with other dogs. Nothing scares me either. I have had 1 vaccine so far, and been wormed. I will be spayed when I am old enough. So, if you are looking for a girl like me, look no further. Love, Macie

Samantha would rather have your attention than anything, and loves nothing better than spending time with her humans. She will patiently wait for you while you're out, but once you're home, be prepared for a happy dance and lots of tail wags. She is not a dog that will settle for sleeping in the laundry room... she just wants to be where her people are. Samantha adores children, but because of her size and her exuberance, she should probably not be in a family with small children who are not dog-savvy. Samantha would love to attend obedience training, and would surely be the star of her class. She's very bright, and can learn anything as long as treats and praise are given. Samantha has been spayed, is up-to-date on all vetting, and is looking for a home where her unconditional love and loyalty will be returned 110%!

Once outside, Kate turns into a real “player” with energy and stamina to spare. Like many North Carolina girls, Kate loves to go to the beach. Once she hits the sand, Kate is off like a shot, loping like a deer towards the surf. She raises her nose to take in all the scents and sounds of the shoreline and enjoy every second in the sand! The marvelous thing about Kate is that she has that desirable on/off switch, able to go from rabble-rouser outside to cuddling on the couch indoors. She walks beautifully on a leash and is reliable off-leash once she becomes familiar with her surroundings. Kate adapts beautifully to new situations and has the ability to take a “snapshot” of each new encounter. Any initial reservations during Kate’s first exposure vanish the second time around. Kate does well with other dogs and has the potential to be a benevolent pack leader. A tenderhearted girl with extraordinary beauty, Kate is truly a dog who has to be met to be appreciated.

It was too injured to save. She'll feel so much better when it no longer hurts her.

Hi, I am Samson. You may think you have seen cuter puppies, but I bet they weren't as cute as me. My mommy was a Rottie mix, and I'm not sure what my daddy looked like, but I think I got the best of both. I am a very gentle, good-natured boy. I love to eat, and will jump in the air for my dinner. I like to play with my foster brother, and the other dogs in the household. I am learning not to potty in the house, and I do pretty well, I think. I sometimes forget though, because I am still a baby.I think if you meet me, you will love me and want to take me home, but that is just my opinion. I have been neutered and am up to date on my shots.Won't you give me a chance?

Love, Samson

Name: Leia
Breed: Long-haired Chihuahua
Gender: Female
Age: 1 year
Size: 10 pounds
Little Leia could put the sunshine in the gloomiest of days. She lights up the room with her happy grin, waggy tail, and playfulness. She is a very good snuggler and would love to have a very special human in her life. She especially loves belly rubs and will want to sleep in your bed. She weighs only 10 lbs and her white coat is becoming glossy now that she is on good quality food.

She plays for hours with her squeaky toys and entertains her foster parents every night. She loves to go for car rides and we know she will want to take many rides with her people. Visits with children who are gentle while playing with her would be fine, but she wants to be the baby in the family, so we are looking for an adult home for her.

She will likely be the class clown in a basic obedience class which we recommend to help her bond with her new owner. She will be ready to go to her new home in early May. She is spayed, vaccinated, housetrained, and on heartworm preventative.

Size: 10-15 pounds adult
Mr. Bean is a big dog in a little dog’s body. Confident and fearless, he is always itching to take on new challenges.

He is in constant search of an open lap, and will challenge a larger dog to win one. Folks interested in Mr. Bean should be as strong-willed as he, and must have Dachshund and/or Chihuahua experience. Because of his breed mix, Beaner is not a dog that will be good with young children. If you have young children, or are planning a family, please consider another dog/breed. Beaner is vaccinated and learning how to do his “business” out of doors!

Size: 20 pounds

Bridget is about 1 year old and 20 lbs. She loves to play with friendly dogs and adores school aged children. She is happy go lucky and has traits similar to those of a German Toy Spitz mixed with some sort of wirehaired terrier. For more information on the German Spitz breed click here: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/germanspitz.htm.

She is very affectionate and her tail wags non-stop to show how happy she is. She walks well on leash, loves everyone and every dog she meets, is reasonable with cats (though she'll need some training to live peacefully with them), knows how to play fetch, catches treats in her mouth, dances on her back legs, and is vaccinated, spayed and current on her heartworm and flea/tick prevention. She is crate trained, very bright, inquisitive and trainable and we highly recommend her new owner take her to a training class shortly after adoption. She would be a great dog to train in agility and may even enjoy therapy dog training as she matures and bonds strongly with her new owner.

The best new home for her would include a friendly dog to play with, perhaps a fenced back yard, but definitely an active owner who is willing to take her through Canine Good Citizen or similar training. Her housebreaking is reasonable, but she will need to have it polished by a calm, patient individual when she moves into a new home.

While she enjoys the company of other dogs, Ellie’s number one goal is people pleasing. She will excel in obedience training because of her unwavering commitment to her people. If you’re searching for a devoted and always cheerful companion, Ellie is the perfect match. Ellie is vaccinated, spayed, housetrained, and leash trained.

She is crate trained and working on her housebreaking, but be assured her new family will need to be consistent with her house training since she is a young puppy. Given this, we will not adopt her to homes with young children.

My foster mom says I’m cast from the same mold as my relatives in New Orleans; hot, fiery, high-spirited and passionate. If you like lots of activity, I have boundless energy and would love to go hiking or running with you. My dream is to learn to do tricks and become a performer, but if I don’t make it to Hollywood, I’ll entertain you every day! By the way, while humans are my very favorite critters, I have lots of fun with other doggies and I just adore those mysterious felines.

Kojak has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, is on Heartworm prevention, and is on Frontline for flea and tick prevention.

Kojak is approximately 1 year old. To look at his short legs and small size, you'd think he would weigh 35 to 40 pounds. At a recent trip to the vet, however, he tipped the scales at a whopping 59 pounds! Perhaps we should have named him "Tank" or "Sumo."

She's had an amaising turnaround since arriving at her foster home. She's about one year old as best we can guess. That's plenty young enough to still have puppy jags around the house but old enough to be housebroken and learn quickly the important things like sitting for treats and being quiet in her crate through the night.

Joy is not a barky beagle. She alerts her foster family when someone comes to the door and she's your girl when the squirrels are bold enough to eat from the bird feeders. She would love a home where there is plenty of time to cuddle and she'd like to sleep in the bedroom with her person very much. She is fine with children over 5 ; maybe younger children if the home is calm and she knows no one will yell at her. She responds best to being spoken sweetly to and so wants to please her people. She would love to have a fenced yard because, yes, she has a beagle's nose and exploring outside is her favorite pastime.
