Moose is a 6 year old male Shepard/Rottweiler mix who was nuetered three years ago but since then has not been to see the vet. He had his last heartworm test there and it was a faint positive. We kept him on heartworm preventative for at least a year before I lost my job and could no longer afford it. Since then, money has been too tight with our family too take care of Moose properly.

He is not current on flea preventative, but gets flea and tick killer with his baths and does not seem infested by any means. He is weird around other dogs, but has not had any bad fights. He is fine with cats indoors and is good with kids in general, although he has bowled our son over a few times. He is fine with calm adults.

Moose is house-trained and has never really been in a crate. He does not like car-rides, loves walks, but tends to pull till he is worn out no matter what collar we use and training methods. We have worked with him on sit and stay commands. He is a great protector, watch/guard dog, and a great hunter.

Spring is roughly 50 pounds, and has gained weight. She was very thin when she was found. She is not spayed/neutered but she is house trained.

Please email brad_gates1521@yahoo.com or call 704-473-0283 if you are interested in Spring. She is a very sweet dog and deserves to have people who love and care about her.

Baxter seems to do well with most other dogs, but is not fond of cats. He's great with all people, including children - he likes everyone!

He is crate trained and walks well on a leash. He is very affectionate, loves to play outside, and loves to go for walks. Baxter is in the process of learning his basic obedience commands.

He is a happy guy that will make a good companion for a single person, couple or family. He will be very low-maintenance coatwise! Baxter came to me from a Greenville, NC shelter that had him for 2 months. They found him as a stray.

He has been neutered since he was 5 months old and even has a little "N" tattoo on his inner leg! He is up-to-date on his Rabies vaccine, but not sure about bordetella or distemper. He is not on heartworm prevention, but is on flea and tick prevention (Frontline). He has been heartworm tested and is negative.

Bear used to be good with other dogs and recently has acted out towards two other dogs. He does great with puppies though. I think he could be socialized with another dog just fine becasue he spent so many years around dogs of all shapes and sizes without a problem. Bear LOVES cats. He will chase and sniff them until he gets used to them - then he gets bored and doesn't bother with them. His best friend is a cat.

He doesn't mind kids. He sometimes gets excited so he may knock over a small kid, but other than that - no problems. He LOVES people - all people. Especially guests. He will even try to sit on their laps! He is house trained and does go in a crate when he gets a little too excited. Doesn't walk very well on a leash. Must be on a leash when walked or he will run away.

He is an inside dog ONLY. He does enjoy spending time outdoors. He will sit for a treat or toy - otherwise it's 50/50. He also can very successfully break into his food and feed himself. Bear is also very good at taking down babygates.

He has a disability. Luxating Patella. He has a minor case and rarely needs his medicine. He has to limit his activity-short walks, short playtime in the backyard. He has short burst of energy, then mostly sleeps. He has shown signs of early hip dysplasia. He is usually by my side all day and follows me from room to room. He has allergies and has been picking at his skin so bad lately he has a sore. He gets depressed when I am away and just sits around all day.

Bear has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. We have been through a lot together. He is kinda silly and loving. He just deserves more - more than I can give right now. He will be your best friend.

We found Pebbles in the middle of the road when she was a puppy drinking from a water puddle. We brought her home after checking around the homes in the area. No one claimed her so we did. She is a very good watch dog, and lets you know when someone is around that should not be.

She is house trained and comes in when it is really cold out, otherwise she is outside. She loves straw in her house when it gets cold.

We need to find a new home for her; she has gotten too aggressive to the other dogs. She bit my daughter's Lab puppy the other day and took a pretty good chunk out of his side. She needs a home of her own again. Pebbles is very energetic all the time, and loves to play with balls and sticks. She loves to be rubbed and loved. She hates cats because our neighbors have cats and have teased her by the fence.

Pebbles is up to date on all her shots and heart-worming and frontline doses. She does not like strangers and that is even someone that does not come often but does come over. Once she knows you, you are fine but we need to be around when she is getting to know you.

I do not want to take her to the pound as my husband does; she is too sweet of a dog. I am afraid that she will be put to sleep - I love her too much to have that done to her so I am trying to find her a good and loving home. We inherited my parents' dog and my daughter's dog so I end up doing the unthinkable and having to give Pebbles away. Can you please help me find a good home for her? Let me know.

Sydney gets along with everyone and is crate trained and leash trained. She is an indoor dog and is a graduate of the Beginners Class at Petsmart Obedience.

She knows a ton of obedience commands such as Sit, Wait, Stay, Come, Shake, High five, Leave it, Go, Down, and several others.

Sydney cocks her head sideways like she understands you, and howls when you play music or sing. She loves to eat bugs! She is very friendly, very loving, never met a stranger, and is playful. You cannot talk baby talk to her or speak too harshly - she will submissive urinate sometimes, especcially with males. We have had her for 1.5 years, and it has gotten much better.

Sydney has to have lots of toys to play with and chew on - she has chewed a small place on my coffee table - but nothing else, and only once. You cannot put a soft bed in her crate with her, she will chew it! She does not mind sleeping on the crate floor. We have not had to use the crate in one year, and she sleeps on a pillow at the end of the bed in our bedroom.

We love Sydney, and it breaks our hearts to let her go - however, if she is going to a loving, responsible home with people who can give her the attention and time she deserves- then we would feel a lot better. We are a couple with two children, and one other older dog. When we got Sydney, only one of us was working. However, with the economy, we are both working now. The kids are in school with their extra curricular activities, and schedules, so there is not a lot of time to spend with her. Also, there may be a change in our living situation soon, which may take us away from our home with a large fenced backyard. I would prefer that the home she goes to keeps her indoors, however with the right doghouse, and definitely a fence( no chaining up), we wouldn't be against that. :)

Bella is a female Rat Terrier, 4 years old, up-to-date on vaccinations and heartworm tested. She is crate trained and mostly house trained. She is good with other dogs and great with children. She likes to be outside and prefers to be around her owners and sleep in her crate at night. Bella loves to cuddle and to play with people.

Elliott and Bella have lived together for 3.5 years and I would like for them to find a home together. Please contact jmotto@knology.net if you are interested in Elliott and Bella!

She is not good with other dogs (very alpha, she lives with two others but possibly could get along with a very submissive mate with some work and attention, but I would not recommend it given her age). She is ok with cats, but is not good with young children. Annie is housetrained, leash trained, and is used to being indoors but enjoys some outdoors as well (prefers human companionship - if you are outside, she would like to be outside as well).

Annie knows a few basic commands, is very protective and loyal to owners and is amazingly not food motivated (unless she smells steak!) She is very friendly and sweet but a bit wary of strangers at first (she warms up quickly). she is a bit of a couch potato and is the perfect indoor lazy dog who will be asleep at your feet often.

She does like short walks, smelling “things” outside, and light frolicking when outside if allowed off leash - she will not run away! Annie travels very well and can go all day and then some without a potty break.

Annie would make a wonderful companion in the right situation. The challenging part is that she is a bit skittish at times and our 17 month old boy fell on her a few days ago while she was resting. She defensively bit him in the face and that is the only reason (but a big one I know) that she is in need of a new home. She loves children but doesn’t like surprises and must not live with small kids/babies (older kids should be fine if mature enough to understand to give her some space while at rest).

Annie is a sweet, loving, wonderful dog in the right surroundings and if she can find a home without small children or other dogs, she would make someone very happy if they are looking for loyal companionship. She is in good health for her age and is not on any medication (she gets a bit stiff after laying around, probably has some arthritis in her hips). I would be willing to assist with vet care if finances are a big concern (in the right situation and within reason).

My wife and I are very heartbroken about having to find her a new home.

Chico likes his car rides! His owner is in the hospital and can’t care for him any longer. He is a nice guy looking for a forever home. Is that you?

If yes, contact Carrie at carrieafrank@aol.com or (h) 562-7310 (c) 368-6864

My name is Buddy, I am a 2-year old American Bulldog mix, and I am looking for my forever home. My foster rescued me from my former owner, who let me run the streets whenever I wanted. He was stubborn about keeping me, so I had to spend almost a whole month locked up at WCAS! My foster mom would come and visit me, bring me treats, and rub my tummy, so it wasnÕt too bad, I guess. Still, I was happy when she finally busted me outta there!

Now, I am neutered and microchipped and well taken care of. I am sad that I cannot stay, but there is a Beagle here who is about to have a nervous breakdown because I am bigger than he is. I do not understand why he does not like me, because I get along great with other dogs in the neighborhood, even that yappy little Chihuahua next door! I will admit that I am not a great fan of cats, because they have nailed my nose a few times with those sharp claws!

Look at my face. Can you believe I am anything BUT a big ole sweetiepie?? I do not potty in the house, I walk pretty well on the leash, and I know all my basic obedience commands. My favorite things to do? I would say there is nothing as good as riding in the car or going to the park, where my foster puts me on a LONG leash and lets me RUN RUN RUN. Inside (where no one can see me) I like chasing my tail, too. But at the end of the day, I love snuggling on the couch next to my foster mom.

I know there is a great home waiting for me out there somewhere. I am loyal and protective of those I love, obedient, and have lots of energy. I play rough, so would probably do best in a home with adults and teens rather than small kids.

If you think you and I would make a great match (and why not, because I am the greatest dog in the world!), email my foster mom (ReneHart@earthlink.net) and she will send you more details.

Bailey came to us when her owner lost her job, was forced to move and could not bring her along. Although heartbroken at losing her, she did what was best for Bailey and placed her with our group.

Bailey is doing very well with housetraining, accidents happening only when her signals are missed. She lives with other dogs and a cat in her foster home, and gets along well with all. She also likes children, and loves meeting new people whenever she can. She loves playing with her doggy toys and will happily share them with the other dogs in her foster home.

Bailey lives indoors with access to a fenced yard in her current foster home. She is terrified of loud noises, such as thunderstorms. She tends to bond closely with people and will sometimes exhibit nervousness when left behind by her people.

Bailey firmly feels that she needs to supervise all that is going on in her world. Although older, she's in great health and has a lot of good years left in her she'd like to share with someone who appreciates her and her lovable qualities.

Bailey does take a daily medicine required to control her incontinence. The medicine has been very successful in helping Bailey.

If you are interested in adopting Bailey, please email aarfdogadoption@gmail.com. We require an adoption application, reference check, home visit (when possible) and a $150 adoption fee. We are willing to travel for the right home and will make accomodations for Bailey to find her forever home, including helping with transport. Any home outside of a 2 hour radius must have a vet reference available to check in order to waive the home visit. Please consider adding Bailey to your home - she is a sweet girl!

I am a sweet, loving and friendly boy who just wants a family to play with and love me. So far, I have not met a person or a dog that I don't get along with. I live with two other dogs. One looks just like me but is a girl. I love all sorts of toys. If you throw them for me I will run after them but sometimes want to see what is inside of them and take them apart! I also enjoy raw hides and a good solid bone to keep me occupied when there is no one to play with me. Sometimes I make the funniest noises and roll around on the floor just for fun. Treats are the best thing in the world!

I know how to sit very well and I am learning quickly how to stay before getting a treat (or food). Although I have not mastered it yet I think I will have it down in a week or two. I am an energetic boy that needs exercise and play time and someone to teach me all the things that will help me to be the best companion.

I am still a little confused about how leashes work but I think I am learning how it works. I like the harness best. I think I would be better around older children because when I get excited I jump up. Can't help myself - I so much want to play with you... but I will learn good manners. I promise.

I stay in my crate when my foster parents are gone and sleep most of the day. I may bark few times but if you are leaving I will settle in a minute. I feel like the crate is my own personal space and I am ok in it.

I am now neutered, received my parvo/distemper shot, rabies shot, bordetella vaccine, heartworm test - negative, have been dewormed and waiting to be microchipped. My adoption fee is $120 so my rescuers can help another dog like me and save a life. Please email us at savedlives16@yahoo.com if you are interested in meeting me. I can be allowed to go home with you for a night or a weekend so you can see how I am before you decide to adopt me.

Please come soon. I am tons of fun!!!! Denver

Although he has been to puppy class and knows his basic commands (sit, stay, lay, off, and he waits for his release command before eating) he will probably need someone to refresh him on most. ‘Scotch has been an indoor dog but loves to be outside to play. He loves to chew on anything you forget to put away, but will leave the furniture and table legs alone.

'Scotch is a very friendly, non aggressive, hyper boy who has lots of energy to play. He may take a little while to warm up to you but once he does it’ll be like he’s known you forever.

Vino loves nothing more than to hang out with her owners, especially when they lay on the floor with her or pet her while she does her “prairie dog” imitation. She has 2 older sisters (dogs) that played with her when she was younger, but now that she's bigger and stronger, they have started fighting. Her owners are heartbroken, but are confident that they can find a new loving person or family with no other pets and they can enjoy all that Vino has to offer.

She is house trained and crate trained, spayed, micro-chipped, and up to date on all of her vaccinations and monthly heart worm preventatives.

Vino is super affectionate... she just loves all people! She knows the commands "come," "sit," "stay," and "leave it". In fact, she is very smart and eager to learn most anything! I have also been learning to walk well on a leash, although I still like to pull when I see a squirrel. The more walks she goes on, the better she gets!

If you would love a super soft, perfect sized (about 45 lbs) and loyal pal, please consider adopting Vino.

She is an inside dog, completely house trained, but she loves big spaces to run and play to get the exercise she needs and she would love to have a fenced yard. She hates to be out in the rain. She is a very loving and affectionate dog. We have had two babies since we've had Jamba and she has been wonderful with them and is good with other dogs once she has a chance to warm up to them.

She does not have an alpha dog personality. She has never been around cats, so I cannot say how she would be with them. She walks well on a leash with the Gentle Leader. She has had basic puppy training and is very well behaved and knows that she can get on her chair, but respects the other furniture in the house. She sleeps in her favorite bed and likes the blanket completely over her at bed time. We will provide her beds, blankets, food and water bowls, and toys that she has. You can even have a picnic with her and she will not try to eat the food on the picnic blanket.

She gets very excited at the doorbell and will bark and run full steam to the door to welcome guests. She has never shown any aggression toward people and she just wants to see who it is. She has never had any medical problems and we can provide her last vet exam results. We are asking a small adoption fee to ensure that she goes to a good home that really wants a wonderful addition to the family.
