Nothing better than a cat nap 😴🐾💭

Newfie baby surrendered to a heartstick shelter 💔. These dogs are so very sensitive and Bear is surely feeling lost and devastated about his current situation. Please share to help this handsome boy find safety.

❤️ ADOPTED ❤️

BEAR (A406941)
Happy New year from Bear!
This is one good looking fella! Sweet Bear is a neutered 3-year-old Newfoundland. This big boy weighs 105 pounds and he's heartworm negative.
He is an owner surrender by no fault of his own. Bear is feeling pretty down and confused. He misses his family and hangs out at his kennel door looking for a familiar face.
Bear greeted me at his door with tail wags and a friendly face. He was happy to have a visitor and he quickly showed off his sweet personality!
I leashed Bear up to go out to the yard for some fresh air. Once we were outside he took care of his personal business right away as he is housetrained.
Bear walked around and explored the yard by sniffing and taking in all the new sights. He was happy to see other dogs and visitors in the yard. He wagged his tail and showed off his best sit!
Bear welcomed all of my pets and attention and he sat perfectly for his picture. He was the best model and is super photogenic!
Bear's previous owner tells us he is house trained and he knows several commands such as sit, speak, and lay down. They say he is good with other dogs, cats, livestock and kids. They say he can be playful and hyper. And, due to his size he may do better with older kids so he doesn't accidentally knock a small child down. His previous owner says he enjoys car rides and going on walks. They say he likes chew toys, playing fetch, and he LOVES swimming!
We think Bear is a wonderful dog and we would like to see him back in a home where he can be the great dog that he was meant to be. Please come meet this good boy, he needs a home a quickly! He's waiting at Cumberland County Animal Services, Fayetteville, NC 910-321-6852

Another fun photoshoot with a stubborn old hound dog 🙄😂.

📍 Lancaster County Animal Shelter SC

🐾 Boone

This handsome blue tick hound boy 💙 was picked up by local animal control and never reclaimed. Boone is afraid of his own shadow 🫣. He is smart as a whip and seems to know quite a few commands. He is a typical aloof houndy boy who loves to use his sniffer. You'd think those bog old ear were broken, until the treats come out anyway 😂. The way to Boone's heart is through his belly. Typical man 🙄 selective hearing until the food comes out! He is very food motivated and enjoys working for those treats!

✳️ Age eval pending but I'd say around 5 years
✳️ Blue Tick Coonhound
🐶 he tested okay with others. He was scared of the other dogs 🥺. Was completely nonreactive just ran from them and tried hiding behind his handler. He tested best with an older more laid back staffie mama. Best placed in a home with calm established dogs who will respect his space.
🐱 scared of them. Was swatted and ran away.

Last year, Dugi spent his 1st Christmas alone after losing his brother and best friend 😔. My promise to Dallas as he took his last breaths was that we would go on to rescue the kitties most in need in his memory. This includes the overlooked black and fiv + kitties, the "special needs" and medical kitties. We are so thankful to have Puddin spending this Christmas with us. We think old man agrees 🥹💖.

This is for you Dal 💙 thank you for sending him our way 🫶🏻.

But we can try...

12/16/2023

Medical fostering can be tough. It is so hard to see them not feeling well 🥺. You just want to wave a wand and make it all better. Poor little Puddin's kidneys are failing him 💔. We believe it is due to malnutrition. This baby is so emaciated. Kitties have very sensitive systems, and their bodies can begin shutting down on them after just a couple of days of not eating normally. We are hoping that with regular meals and extra fluids to support his kidneys, we will be able to nurse him back to health. Today, this poor little baby has an upset belly and extra cuddles are in order 💗.

Lancaster County Shelter SC

‼️Shelter stays at capacity as dogs keep flooding in 🆘️

We have seen a major increase in the # of emaciated and scarred up dogs some with filed down teeth coming in as strays since the 30 arrests and 300 dogs were seized in the fighting bust in York and surrounding counties.

🚨 Eunice
🚨 Griffin
🚨 Mavis
🚨Murray

‼️EXTREMELY HIGH RISK‼️

All 4 of these dogs' stories are the same. All 4 enterred the shelter beyond emaciated and sat on a court hold for weeks. Which means someone OWNED them in this condition. It's deplorable, disgusting, and just unthinkable. They have currently, for obvious reasons, shown no interest in anything other than food. With food being such a valuable resource to them right now they are exhibiting guarding behaviors. These negative behaviors have put their lives in danger and we have run out of time for them. These dogs have clearly been failed miserably. Imagine knowing nothing but hunger and lonliness just to die in a scary shelter? These 4 need out of the shelter NOW! They need experienced fosters who can give them the TLC they need before introducing them to other animals.

Eunice has shown some improvement with other dogs as long as their is no food around. She is not overly interested but is nonreactive. She does not seem to respond well to correction and is going to need someone very experienced to work with her.

Griffin is doing better with other dogs as long as there is no food around. He is not interested in interacting but is nonreactive. He is still very food focused. This is a big guy who should be at least 80 lbs and is nowhere close to that so it is no wonder his only interest is the humans bearing treats.

Mavis has shown remarkable improvement and is learning how to be a dog. She was actually playing on Friday 🥺❤️. We also learned she really loves belly rubs. Mavis is really warming up to human affection. She is still food focused but not as obsessive and has gained some weight. At this time she is not ready to make doggy friends.

Murray is the youngest of the group he is doing surprisingly well with other dogs as long as there is no food involved. He showed interest in the female we had him out with this past Friday but like his 3 siblings he is unsocialized. It will take some time for him to learn how to "dog". He is such a sweetheart who loves affection and truly has a lot of potential.

Not yet spayed/neutered, had 1st vaccines, all 4 are HW +

Each dog comes with a $300 sponsorship towards heartworm treatment

Vance County Shelter NC longest resident! HW negative and dog friendly.

STATUS: available for adoption or rescue

Patrice & Gloria: https://youtu.be/OGXiEjmLTOU

Patrice

Dog Friendly: yes
HW status: negative
Hold is up 6/27/22

Patrice was picked up as a stray. She was shy at first but has come out of her shell and is very sweet and playful!

Patrice is at the Vance County shelter. We are the networking group for the shelter. Her hold is up 6/27/22 and is in danger of being euthanized any time if the shelter is over capacity.

All adoptions are handled directly by the Vance County shelter. If you are a 501c3 rescue interested in pulling her, email us at [email protected]

Smokey was adopted this morning after 256 days in the shelter!

10/23/2022

Has rescue!

10/23/2022

Mavis came in with 3 other dogs completely emaciated and unsocialized. In the time they have been with us Mavis has made the most progress overall. She has put weight on and is learning how to be a dog. Friday we had her out in the play yard and she was actually trying to play 🥺. She is still very food focused but not food obsessed like before. We learned besides snacks Mavis' favorite thing is belly rubs! She is still not interested in making other doggy friends at this time but who can blame her? We need a unicorn experienced foster with no current pets in the home or with the ability to safely separate. Mavis has some resource guarding behaviors that need to be worked through. The shelter stays at capacity and Mavis is HIGHEST RISK for euthanasia due to behavior/space.

Mavis is located at Lancaster County Animal Shelter SC

Cyrus update!

10/20/2022

‼️COLD WEATHER REMINDER‼️
As temps start to drop cats will often seek shelter in car engines or wheel wells. Please use caution and honk your horns before starting your cars during these cold months. It could just save a life.

10/17/2022

Vance County Shelter's 2nd longest resident, Cyrus, is URGENT. He was staying with a trainer but has been returned to the shelter. He has been with them 207 days now. Cyrus has not dog tested well in the past which is why he keeps being overlooked. Cyrus is such a good boy who is so sweet and playful. He loves fetch most of all. He is available for adoption or rescue. All adoptions are handled directly by the shelter. Without comittment he could be euthanized for space as early as this week.

DIES 10/14 due to NO INTEREST!

It didn’t matter that I loved humans. It didn’t matter that I was dog friendly. It didn’t matter that I waited patiently for 8 months. All that matters is no one wants me 😢 It’s just me and my kong in a world of humans who don’t think I matter……
