MAMA SURI

BREED: Lab Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Suri was a very scared mama, handling life on her own. She was found by the graveyard with her puppy Scout. Animal Control was able to first get Scout. They found 3 other puppies that had passed. One of their attempts to catch Mama ended up catching another pup, Inky. And, FINALLY, Mama and one remaining pup, Gravy, got into a Good Samaritan's car who stopped for them. Because Mama wanted to meet the pup the Good Samaritan had with her, she was able to get them and notify Animal Control. We took them under rescue. Mama and 3 puppies are now safe.

HEALTH ISSUES: She is in good health and is ready for stability, security, and love.

TIGGER
AGE: Approximately 1.5 - 2 years old
BREED: Shepherd Mix
SEX: M
BACKGROUND: Tigger was pulled from the shelter.
This is what Tigger's foster Mama has to say about him!
"Whoever adopts Tigger is going to have one AMAZING dog."
NEEDS: Tigger is super sweet! He is a big goof ball (65lbs). Tigger is very attentive to his humans. He's learning his manners and tries very hard to please. He's just an all around fun pup! He is VERY smart, even though he is goofy. He knows sit, down, sit pretty, off, and wait. He does have some energy so an active family would be best. He is great with other pups. We have not seen him directly around cats so don't know for certain, but believe he would just want to play with them if anything.
HEALTH ISSUES: He is HW-, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped. Ready to find his forever family!
ANNIE aka JADE
AGE: Approximately 4 months old
BREED: Hound Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Annie was found as a stray and was very scared in the shelter. Based on her feet, she may have spent her very young months only in a crate :( She is getting less scared with her foster, who is also working on her house training. Jade is very playful outside of the crate but, understandably, inside it, is very timid. She turns into a whole different, fun loving, playful puppy when out of the crate!

HEALTH ISSUES: To be vetted.

BREED: Staffordshire Terrier Mix
SEX: M
BACKGROUND: Yoda was pulled from the Duplin County Shelter. He was on the euthanasia list.
NEEDS: He is a good boy who needs a patient owner and more training. He is slowly learning how to be on a leash, as he can be reactive. Yoda does well with the foster's pup and is great with kids. He does need a slow introduction to new pups. Yoda would do best with a female pup or as an only. A fenced yard is needed so he can play and do his zoomies!
HEALTH ISSUES: Yoda is HW-, altered, and up-to-date on vaccines.

VIENNA
Adopted!
Stelly and Vienna, shaking and curled up in a corner at the shelter.
VIENNA & STELLY
AGE: Less than 1 year old
BREED: Mix (small)
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: These precious girls were found as strays in Bladen County. They were brought to Animal Control and were scared to death in the shelter. We felt so badly for these babies that we had to pull them. Shaking and curled up in a corner.
Stelly is VERY shy and still learning to trust but very sweet. She and her sister hid towards the back of the shelter, too scared to come to the front of the kennel. They are both doing well at their foster's home but Stelly is still very nervous with new people and noises. She does well with other pups and does enjoy playing once she trusts.
NEEDS: Lots of love, training, and a forever home!
HEALTH ISSUES: Both littles will be vetted.

CASSIDY
AGE: Approximately 4 months old
BREED: Mix
SEX: F

HEALTH ISSUES: Cassidy will be vetted.
ACASIA
AGE: Approximately 3 years old
BREED: Staffordshire Terrier Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Acasia was scheduled to be euthanized for space on the day we pulled her from the shelter. Special thanks to Kaitlyn & Dylan for being willing to foster her AND thereby saved her life!
NEEDS: She is such a sweet girl and can't stop smiling and wiggling her butt! Acasia loves other pups and is currently with her fosters' pup, who is a little guy. She is also little, at 40 lbs. She sometimes needs to be reminded not to be so rambunctious with little pups, and does respond very well to re-direction. At the shelter, she did well with any pup she met. We don't know about cats. We do know that Acasia is just full of love!
HEALTH ISSUES: She is up-to-date on vaccines, vetted, and microchipped. She still needs to be spayed. However, she is HW- (yay!) and has been doing really well at her fosters' home.
CHANCE
AGE: Approximately 1-2 years old
BREED: Black Mouth Cur Mix

BACKGROUND: Chance was in the shelter and on the adoption floor — but, because he was so scared, everyone passed right over him. It didn't take him long to come out of his shell and he's one happy pup now!!

HEALTH ISSUES: Chance is HW+ and has started treatment. We cover all expenses for heart worm treatment. This sweet boy is available for foster-to-adopt. Neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped.
