Don't worry Waffles, we'll get you all prettied up when you're ready! She does well with her foster's pup but is still fairly timid, so needs a little more time. She's going to be just fine!

DAVID
Pre-Adopted!

AGE: To come


BREED: Mix 


SEX: M


BACKGROUND: David was seized from a home because he was tethered with a wire and it got wrapped around his leg. It REALLY hurt him. When someone finally came to help, it was too late to save his leg. Sadly, David's leg had to be removed. He is now with foster parents and their two pups and doing a great job recovering post operatively! He's working on settling in. Sutures have been removed and he's slowly gaining strength in his other 3 legs. His fosters said "his tail never stops wagging!"

NEEDS: Our little boy David is doing so well learning what it's like to live without being tied to a chain and walking on 3 legs. He really is a sweetheart. If you are interested in meeting him in the future, when he's ready for his forever home, please email us at freedombridgeanimalrescuenc@gmail.com 


HEALTH ISSUES: On the road to recovery!

NACHO

AGE: Approximately 3 years old


BREED: Unknown Mix


SEX: M


BACKGROUND: Nacho is a sweet boy who was pulled from the Bladen County Shelter. We got him just in time, as he was on the euthanasia list due to limited space and time.

NEEDS: Nacho is, of course, very scared but beginning to settle in with his foster. He's a sweet guy who tested well with other pups and wasn't interested in cats. We have more to learn about him! He needs a break.... His young life has not been good so far :(


HEALTH ISSUES: He's neutered, micro-chipped, and we'll get him up-to-date on Lepto vaccine. Sadly, he is HW+ and the rescue covers expenses for treatment.

PANDA

Gibbs, Panda & Gunny

Meet Gibbs, Gunny & Panda!!! 3 out of our 4 abandoned puppies brought to us at only ONE week old! They are about 7 weeks in this picture. We are thrilled that they didn't break with Parvo, like their brother Griz (who is doing really well now while on quarantine)......

GRIZZLY
Adopted!!!

AGE: Now 4 months old (as of October 1)


BREED: Mix 


SEX: M


BACKGROUND: These little guys were abandoned by their mama (a street dog). Despite efforts, Mama has been unable to be caught and was not feeding her babies. She had 7 babies and, sadly, one passed due to dehydration and no nursing for 24 hours. 6 puppies were picked up by a Good Samaritan and we were asked to help with bottle feeding, which started with our own Rebecca and Tammy's help. We took 4 puppies and another rescue took 2. 

However, our adoptable Mama Gypsy was through nursing her babies, Onyx and Ivory, and was still producing milk. Guess who nursed these 4 babies?!! Bless Mama Gypsy for helping these (no longer abandoned) babies!

NEEDS: These little guys are thriving on love and affection. 


HEALTH ISSUES: Gibbs, Gunny, and Panda are all in good health and ready for foster-to-adopt families! Little Grizzly is working on recovering from Parvo.

AGE: Approximately 8 months old


BREED: Mix

NEEDS: Taz is very dog friendly. We don't know a lot about him yet as we just got him, but he's been extremely sweet so far and just loves belly rubs


HEALTH ISSUES: He is HW- and has been neutered and chipped. He'll be ready after his vet visit, assuming no other issues are found.

BABY BOY ONYX
Pre-Adopted!!!

Ruby 1
Ruby 3

RUBY
On Trial!

AGE: Approximately 1-2 years old


BREED: Hound Mix


SEX: F


BACKGROUND: Ruby was VERY scared and skittish in the shelter. She's getting much more comfortable with her foster now. She loves to hang out with her human.

NEEDS: Ruby needs someone who will be patient so she can trust. Once she does, she is such a cuddle bug. At this point, she is not a barker and is content hanging out helping her human work :) She is good with cats. She tested well with pups in the shelter but foster only has cats.


HEALTH ISSUES: Ruby is HW- but Ehrlichia positive. She has no symptoms so is not being treated at this point, per our vet — it likely has been dormant in her for quite some time.

BACKGROUND: Belle is super sweet and very friendly. She was a stray and no owners came to claim :(..... She's a little one at about 35lbs. Her foster papa says she's the best girl EVER!!!

NEEDS: Belle loves other dogs but we don't know about cats. So far she's very quiet and likes to hang with her human. She loves to do "wiggle butt" when she's happy, which seems to be all the time!


HEALTH ISSUES: She will be vetted.

TYSON

On trial!

BACKGROUND: Sweet puppy Tyson was surrendered with severe Demodex mange (not contagious). He's been under our care to help him through this journey of treatments! He also had kennel cough, BUT we are happy to report that, through the great care he's getting from Rebecca and Jackie (his fosters) AND the team at College Road Animal Hospital, he is on the road to recovery.

NEEDS: Not yet ready but certainly heading in that direction, Tyson just wanted to say hi to everyone and thank them for helping him. Imagine just how much pain he's been in and he's STILL a sweet boy and is so grateful to his humans for helping him.


HEALTH ISSUES: On the road to recovery.
