Story
I am looking for a responsible and caring individual to take Maggie in and give her a forever home . She will be 4 years old in November . I got her at only 4 months old and she is my best friend . She is spayed . Good with all animals , and kids . She goes to dog sitters a couple times a year and has never had an issue doing so. She is crate trained and does not have accidents . It breaks my heart to do this however I am in a high risk pregnancy . I also know that Maggie deserves better . She deserves a yard or someone who can take her on long walks daily . To my knowledge she is half pit bull and half boxer . She is a lovable sweet dog with such a personality . Serious inquiries only and I will continue to look for right home until I know it’s a good fit. I refuse to surrender her however I do have a time limit .

Story
Daisy is 5 and Bella is 6. They are both female Beagles. Daisy has a crooked tail at the tip of her tail, she was born that way. Both very sweet dogs, we prefer to re-home them together because they have always been together. Daisy loves to dig, she has dug out of our fence several times a week and continues to do so despite changes we have made. This has put her in danger and our neighbors are complaining. We don’t want anything to happen to her, and feels she needs to be in a safer environment.

Tommy is a Shepard mix and we got him in 2013 from the shelter. He is very friendly to people and kids of all ages. He dislikes cats. He is very smart, easy to teach new tricks and loves to fetch balls. He loves to ride in the car and walk on the leash. He is healthy and had routine medical exams and he is on regular monthly medication for heart worms prevention and flees. We are selling our house and we won’t be able to take him with us. We hope to find a home for him soon so we don’t have to take him to the shelter.

BEAR

Chow Chow

Kernersville, NC
Size

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bear belonged to my neighbor, Valerie. When she passed away in May 2019, her family could not take him and, since we had a fenced-in backyard, we decided we could foster him until a forever home came along so he wouldn't be sent to the shelter/pound. He is a good boy: he's never bitten anyone, he doesn't get bothered by cats or ferrets, he loves children. He is a bit stubborn and likes to follow me around. He doesn't have anxiety, he just likes to be where everyone else is. I believe he may be part Chow Chow, but I know he's mixed and I'm not 100% sure with what. He will snatch food off a table real quick, but he doesn't chew on anything in the house (shoes, carpet, furniture, etc.). We've tried to get him some toys to play with, but he doesn't seem too interested. He will play a version of fetch with a rawhide treat, until he gets tired of that and eats it. He is a lovebug and will snuggle all day long. He also loves to walk in the park and also does well in the dog park unleashed.
