Daisy is the cutest little pocket pit who has been patiently waiting for her chance at a home. Daisy came to us as a transfer from another county many months ago! Daisy love to run in the yard, get lots of pets and go on walks. Daisy does not mind a leash and she has been good with other well behaved dogs. Daisy seems to love all people!

Are you looking for a super smart, super sweet companion? Scarlett is your girl! This girl was a stray in Hyde county. She is exceptionally smart. She has learned sit, come and speak. Her favorite activity is a good game of fetch, but she will take a good snuggle too! Scarlett does well with kids and seems to have no issue with other dogs.

How is it possible that an amazing dogs like this has been waiting for her chance at a new life since 08/26?!?!?!?

Come give Scarlett a chance at a new home by calling Christy at (252) 766-0033.

Trixie and Ollie are around 7 to 8 months old. They came into our shelter a few weeks ago with their mom, Dixie (young mom under 2yo). They are very loving, soft, extremely playful, love pets and any attention! They would love a warm, indoor home for the holidays.

Ollie especially loves belly rubs, while Dixie is a big fan of the chin rub!

Please come meet our adoptables or just come out and give them some love!!

Can you believe after all of these months our puppies, Blackie and Brownie are still with us? These sweeties came to us with their mother Sassy on 09/09. They have now spent most of their lives in the outdoor shelter. These pups are absolutely hilarious with their puppy antics. They love to run, play fetch and get plenty of pets. Both have proven to be dog friendly, very well rounded pups. They would love a home for the holidays.

Please, if you are interested in adopting, now is the time. Our shelter is totally full!!

Give Christy a call at (252) 766-0033 to come meet our adoptables!
