Forever Families!
Truly a puppy that fits her name, sweet Angel came to us after an owner surrender to a shelter. Confused and nervous, we were lucky to have a foster, Sydney, who said, "I'll foster her!" And let me tell you, this little girl really does have angels looking out for her. First, she was spoiled by her foster and THEN she landed in the bestest place EVER!!!
Beth and David fell in love with her as soon as they met her! And we can honestly say the feeling was mutual. And she has her very own new BFF, Leah. She couldn't be happier and she and her furry sister have been best buds from the beginning.
Thank you Sydney for being her bridge to happiness and Beth, David, and Leah for being her happily forever! We are so very grateful.
Sweet Mama Maple came to us pregnant and delivered 11 puppies!!! Well, we introduced the Breakfast Club! Each puppy named after breakfast foods by their foster.
Sausage, now Silas also known as Si, found his forever family at one of our events, where he was in a little time out. Silos liked to let his siblings know who was boss. Well Loren and her husband asked, who's the one in time out and I said, well that's Sausage. He needed a little break Lol!!! Well, that was all it took. They both said, that's who we want to see and it was love at first sight all around!!! Soooo, Silas found himself in his forever home and they couldn't love him anymore than they do!!!
Special thanks to Taylor and her kids for not only whelping Mama, but keeping the whole family together for the 8 weeks to make sure the puppies were properly socialized by their Mama! Hats off to you Taylor. Your first whelping and ELEVEN babies!!! You guys are the greatest! Happy tails Silas. You couldn't have found a better home!!!
Sweet Mama Maple came to us pregnant and delivered 11 puppies!!! Well, we introduced the Breakfast Club! Each puppy named after breakfast foods by their foster.
Scrapple, now Enzo, found his forever family at one of our events! Tyler met him and instantly fell in love! Tyler introduced him to his family and all were excited for this perfect match. Tyler has been the most diligent doggy Papa, as poor little Enzo struggled with diarrhea and a bit of a sensitive stomach. But Tyler never gave up and did everything he needed to do to make sure Enzo got what he needed. We are so grateful that the 2 of them found each other. Soooo, Enzo found himself in his forever home and Tyler couldn't love him anymore than he does!! They will be each other's BFFs. Of that we're certain!

Look who has found her forever home!!! Yes, it's Tootsie and they didn't even need the one week trial to make the decision :)!! When Ed & Kathy came to meet sweet Tootsie, it was love at first sight for everyone.
Tootsie came right up to them, wagging her tail and we could clearly see her saying, "Hey there, you're my people!"
Michael and Jess, who were fostering Tootsie, remarked that they haven't seen her do that before with any new people. Soooo, we all listened to Tootsie and fortunately Ed & Kathy felt the same way about her. So, off she went for her trial and before we knew it, they reached out and said, we don't need a week.... She's ours :)!
We couldn't be happier for little Tootsie. She has hit the lottery for sure! Special thanks to Michael and Jess for fostering her and helping her be her best, cutest little self. Thank you to Ed & Kathy for opening their hearts and home to the little gal. Smiles and love all around!!!
Sweet Lacy (formerly Glinda) was nervous in a loud shelter. Well, we couldn't have that, so she became an FBAR-NC foster baby!
Well, after only a couple of weeks, Lorraine just had to keep her! So, sweet Lacy has found her forever home and is such a happy pup! She really is the best girl! So, everyone wins with this adoption. Happy tails, sweet Lacy.... no more worries for you!
Sweet Quazi, now Addie, found herself in a noisy shelter. Not only was her skin in bad shape and she was underweight, but it was also thought that she was deaf. She just laid in her shelter and the lack of hope in her eyes was evident. Well, then along came Tammy who said, "I'll foster her!" So that she did! Not only did she foster her through her skin issues but she also helped her through her journey of heartworm treatment.
You see, Addie, had a tough road ahead of her, but Tammy and her husband were right by her side. And the best part of this story is that they will both be right by her side forever now!!! Sweet Addie wormed (no pun intended) her way into their hearts and they just couldn't let her go. She's a perfect addition to their family. Soooo, happy tails, Addie. No more worries for you. Only days filled with love and happiness.
A little sweet and a little spicy, Lemon Drop came to us in terrible shape! No meat on her bones, a tilt of her head because of muscle wasting and very anemic. Well, we couldn't not help. Sooo after amazing work with one of our fosters and the diligence and expertise of our vet teams, she's healthy and found her loving forever home!!!
So very grateful to Karley for fostering her and being the bridge to health and a life full of love!
And thank you to Amanda for being the pot of gold on the other end of that bridge. Lemon Drop, now Peaches, knew Amanda was her person from the very first time she met her. We are so very happy for our sweet and spicy little girl!! You will have an amazing life now 🥰🥰🥰
Look who found her most pawsome forever home.....It's Bray/Lady now Peanut!
This sweet girl was so scared and shutdown until Cassidy (foster) and her pup Winston worked their magic. She's now with her new best furry friend Daisy who is teaching her the ropes and making sure nothing scares her new best friend!!!
Special thanks to Cassidy and Winston.
YOU are miracle workers.
Thank you to Maria & Ken for giving her a chance.♥️ And most of all, Daisy, thank you for letting her be part of your pack!!!
This sweet girl Kaia (formerly Amber) was looked over time and time again in the shelter and we have no idea why. BUT NO more! She has found her bestest home with an awesome family and furry sibling. She's just loving life now. Special thanks to Rebecca and Jackie for fostering her and helping her be her best self! Thank you to the Saas family for opening their hearts and home to sweet Amber, now Kaia. Thank you Koa for letting Kaia be part of your pack! ♥️♥️
Sweet Ethan (formerly Bingo) was a matted mess when he arrived, BUT with the care of his vet foster and the fabulous vets who help our sweet furry friends, he just blossomed! Very sweet little guy just waiting for his forever home. Well, he didn't have to wait long at all. Lorene and her daughters saw and met him and said, "THAT'S who we've been waiting for." And Ethan told us the very same thing!!! He's so happy with his new family and humans to love!!
Special thanks to Dr. Landers for fostering him and helping him be his best self!
Thank you to Lorena for saying "I have to have him" and to her daughters for making sure it happened! Happy tails, sweet Bingo!
Look who landed the perfect little family. That's right, Wiley, who found himself in a shelter with a dream of finding a home. FBAR-NC wanted to make sure that happened, so Wiley was pulled from the shelter and placed in a lovely foster home with Sydney. And it wasn't long before he found himself in the perfect HOME with Ken and Nyla and let's not forget the best Little Big brother any one pup could ask for, “Gizmo”. Thank you, Syndey, for saying yes to foster Wiley.
And a Big Thank You to Ken and Nyla for giving Wiley the best possible home. Here's to all the new adventures and memories you guys will make.
Lucy (who used to be Minnie) and her sister, were 2 of Heidi's puppies that we took under rescue. Alison reached out and was looking for a puppy to add 4 more paws to their household. Within a day, along came a rescue asking for help from us with a mama and her litter of puppies. We were able to take Mama and 2 of her puppies.... and the rest is history. Alison immediately said, "I want her!!!" and picked sweet Minnie (aka Lucy).
Sooooo, several vaccines, spaying, chipping, and vetting later, here she is in her bestest home with German & Alison. AND her bestest friend Louis who just loves his little sister — and, by the picture, the feeling is mutual!
Thank you Alison and German for fostering, then adopting this beautiful young lady. Thank you Louis for allowing her to be part of your pack!
Arlo, (who used to be Vader) was a puppy found at a gas station. All by himself, hungry and underweight, and no one came forward. So, one of our fosters picked him up and asked us for help. Of course we couldn't say no. So, she fostered him short term until we could find a foster and then Nikka stepped up and agreed to foster him.
Well, he went under Pebble's tutelage (remember Pebbles who is now a tripod?). Anywho, Vader began to learn manners. Then guess what???? Nikka's neighbors met Vader and said, "He's perfect. We would love to foster to adopt." And now the rest is history.
Vader, now Arlo, has found himself in the bestest home ever where he couldn't be more loved!!!
Thank you to our amazing fosters, Morgan and Nikka (and of course, Pebs), who helped this poor soul learn to trust and what it means to be loved.
Special thanks to Marty & Jodi for giving him an amazing forever home!!!! Fostering DOES save lives and adopting, not shopping, usually ends in sunshine and rainbows!
Angel, and her sister BlackJack, were stuck in a high-kill, loud kennel. The two so scared and not sure of their futures. Well, we couldn't have that now could we???
Soooo, they both got a jail break. Sweet BlackJack, now Luna, found her home with her foster parents and... guess what???? So did Angel, now Darla!!! Her foster parents said, "Oh, she can't go anywhere. We just love her!"
So, the rest is history. Sweet Darla is now living her best life with her new mama, papa, and furry little best friend, too. Happy tails, sweet girl! No more worries for you!
Thank you Emily and Cole for saying yes to fostering and now yes to forever!
Little Blackjack was in a noisy shelter with her sister Angel, and we just couldn't have that! Soooo, once again, our amazing fosters, Rick and Mary, said YES!!! Well the rest is history. Sweet Angel, now Luna, wiggled her way into their hearts and became Raven's very best friend. Some call this a foster failure, but I like to think of it as a foster success!!! Thank you Rick and Mary for not only saying yes to foster but now opening your hearts and home to Luna for her forever place. She will have the very best life with you both and her furry sister Raven. Raven, thank you for letting Luna be part of your pack!!! Happy tails!
Sweet Baron came to us with heartworms, just a sweet, shy kinda guy. Well, he not only made new friends, he also found his very own forever home, with his very own furry sister Stella!Baron was lucky enough to have Mary and Rick say YES to fostering him and getting him started on his journey back to health. And then, their friends, Carol and Stephen, saw Baron and wanted to meet him. The rest is history! Stephen and Carol, along with sweet Stella, helped Baron through all of his heartworm treatments. You will have the bestest life Baron!!!! So very grateful to Carol and Stephen. Special thanks to sweet Stella for letting Baron be part of your pack :)!!!!Thank you Rick and Mary for helping save this little man!
Cookie got adopted!!!
Sweet Cookie was just in a little ball in the shelter but just as sweet as she could be. Our fosters came to meet her and immediately said YES, we'll foster her! They were so quick to say they would take her that day so she didn't have to spend one more day in the scary, noisy place.
Danielle and her daughter Emmy helped Cookie become her best self. Danielle, who has fostered over 30 pups before coming to NC told us that Cookie was the easiest pup she has ever fostered. Cookie fell in love with her foster family but she knew she was going to get her very own family to love and boy did she!!!
Along came Terry and Timothy and everyone knew, most importantly Cookie, that this was going to be her family!
Cookie now watches over the children, a job she just loves, and makes sure her new Mama and Papa are doing well. She's got herself a nice big yard that she can romp around in but more importantly, a couch she can just hang out on. Cookie, you hit it big and we couldn't be happier.
Special thanks to Danielle and Emmy for helping Cookie be her very best self!
Sweet Cara, who was found by a Good Samaritan (Tammy), was in need of help. This sweet Belgian Malinois Shepard mix is just a puppy at about 9mos and sadly no one came forward to claim her. Her Angel Tammy asked us for help and fortunately we had fosters, Eline and Chris, who had experience with Bel Mals and said, "We'll foster her!" Well, what a great job they did with this sweet girl. Ollie, Carter, & Blondie and all the kitties were instrumental, as well, in helping Miss Cara become her best self.
Then along came Annette and Dane and their family, and we knew right away this was a perfect fit. We were soooo excited but not more excited than Cara when she met her future family!!
This was a journey for Miss Cara and one that is ending with happily ever after and we couldn't be happier!!! Enjoy your life sweet girl with your family who loves you to the moon and back!!!
Sweet Cali has had a rough time of it in her young life so far. Owner surrendered after being hit by a car, she sustained fractures to both her back legs. She was underweight and really didn't know what it was to be a dog.... Her journey to recovery really did take a village! After surgery, Morgan helped her through her acute postoperative phase (along with Morgan's furry family), tirelessly doing rehab and bringing her to her Physical Therapy appointments. Cali quickly became a favorite among the ECVR (Eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral) staff, particularly Lydia who spent so much time with her while Morgan had her at work.
Then the next step in her journey was led by another one of our amazing fosters, Heather. She and her family (including her furry family) helped Cali learn more about being a pup and took over from Morgan.
Throughout her whole journey, Lydia kept her eye on sweet Cali and guess what!!?? When it was time, Lydia took her under foster care with the plan to adopt once her journey to recovery was completed.
We are so happy to share that Cali has had a full recovery and is now soooo loved by her sweet mama, Lydia. Welcome home Cali!!! No more days of fear, unknown times.... life will be good from this point forward!! Thank you to ECVR, Dr. Talbot, our vets at College Road Animal Hospital, and especially to Morgan and Heather for being her bridge to a happily ever after!!!
Look who found her forever human.
Little Miss Turnip, now Abby, is now healthy and happy and she couldn't have landed a more perfect home. We are so happy for Carol and Abby. We know you will have that happily-ever-after story.
We want to thank her fosters Chris and Eline for everything you did for her.
Today is National Dog Day and LOOK who got her bestest wish!!!! Yes, it's Flower, now Poppy. If you remember, this is the little puppy that was found in a ditch without being able to move her back legs. One look in this little girl's eyes and we knew she was a fighter and we couldn't say no when asked to take her under rescue.
Her fosters, Gina & David worked diligently to help, along with the vets from
&
Well, guess who can walk on her back legs??!!
Maybe not for long times but she's up on all 4s
and being just a regular puppy!!!
She is so happy and so very sweet and a little goofy! And her bestest wish?????
YES her fosters couldn't let her go SOOOOO Miss Poppy has found her forever home where she will live the best life with her humans and her furry sibling!!!
We are sooooo happy for this sweet, little fighter!
Thank you to everyone who helped along the way with prayers, encouragement, donations & excitement as she mastered every challenge put in front of her.
Special thanks to Dr. Talbert and her team for never giving up on this little lady!
It didn't take too long before Cherry, now Pepper, found her forever home with her new mama Cheri. She went from a pup that didn't have a good start in life to having a home that is filled with love and patience. It even comes with a fur-sister! We couldn't be happier for this little one.
Thank you Chris and Eline for fostering her as well as Cheri for fostering — and then deciding to adopt! — to make her one of your pack. Happy Trails!
Congratulations to sweet Lady, now June, and her foster (now adopted!) mama Molly who have found each other!
June (formerly Lady) came to us pregnant and heartworm positive! She delivered 9 healthy puppies despite how she felt. She was a GREAT mama!!! Poor June had a really rough go of it. Her heartworm disease treatment had to wait until she was through nursing all of her babies. Then it was time for June. She struggled through the injections BUT she was a trooper and her foster mama Molly (soon her adopted mama) was there for all of it! Right by her side, helping her through the pain of the injections and then through the spay! It was a long journey for sweet June BUT she couldn't have landed in a better place, with her BFF Molly right by her side.
Special thanks to Rebecca and Jackie for being willing to help June through her preparation for delivery and then her subsequent delivery. She did NOT have an easy journey to health BUT she had a village behind her!! Now June and all her sweet puppies have found their forever homes.
You did so well, sweet June! Enjoy your amazing life with your BFF Molly right by your side!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Today was a great day for Freyja. She went from being a stray pup to a shelter pup and then found her way to a Freedom Bridge Animal Rescue NC foster home. It was love at first sight for these two. Freyja now is the proud owner of her perfect human, Will Shultz. This was a foster failure that was meant to happen. We couldn't be happier.
Happy Trails, you two.
We are so happy to share that Miss Heidi has found her forever home!!! We are so very happy for this little one-and-a-half year old. We rescued Mama Heidi along with 2 of her babies (all 9 puppies are safe!). You did your job Mama and this is your LAST litter!!!
She's just the sweetest gal, but most difficult to get a great pic of her as she's so excited to meet people! She's going to be living her best life with James and his son, that's for sure. Thank you so much for opening your hearts and home to this sweet girl.
Special thanks to Liz for being her bridge to her forever home and then Kat and Bryan for taking her the rest of the way. Thank you Yala and Luna for taking such good care of her and showing her the doggie ropes.
A wonderful life ahead for Heidi, James, and his son!
Sweet Copper, now CoCo, didn't have a great start. After having major surgery to correct his intestines in his scrotal sack, our amazing fosters, Michael and Jessica said, YES we'll help him recover. And boy did they do a great job!!! THEN, his story continued when he met Nancy! It was love at first sight and we all knew, THIS was his person!!!! Soooo, after a one-week trial (which neither really needed), he's living the life he so very much deserves! We are soooo grateful for all the help we received for his care and special thanks to his fosters Michael & Jessica for being that bridge he needed for his forever after!!!!

Thank you Artie for letting him be part of your pack!!! We love happy endings, especially when the road to those endings are bumpy!!!!
Well, we could not be any happier for Beau, now Coe. He has found the bestest forever home for him. He is living like a KING and enjoying every minute of it. During the week he is on duty helping patients feel better and, on the weekend, he gets to relax on his boat or maybe poolside!!! His adopter, Diana, told us that she knew the minute she saw his picture that he was meant for her. And, based on how Coe is with her, we think he was waiting just for her!!!!
Special thanks to Robert for fostering him and helping him by being his bridge to happiness. Thank you Leland and Leslie for picking up the baton to help him along his journey. Thank you Jackie for saving him off the streets and reaching out for help finding him his forever home.

Although ALL of our adoptions are so very special to us, this one, in particular, hits our soul!!! Sweet Cowboy, now Rocco, has found his very special forever home!
As many of you know, our rescued and scared Cowboy escaped from his foster home. He was on the loose in Wilmington for 6 LONG days and nights before he was finally trapped with the immense help of our village and Lost Dog Rescue!!! We will be FOREVER grateful for all the outpouring of help this little guy received to get him safely back to his foster, Diane. After making sure that Cowboy was medically okay, she and her furry pack helped him decompress and get more comfortable again. But for him, being comfortable was still being scared......
It was time for an extended trial with a new family to assure that Cowboy would adjust. Alexis and Joe couldn't have been more patient with this little guy! Cowboy, now Rocco, is still a little nervous around men, but Joe has such a calming presence that little Rocco is understanding that Joe is really his buddy. With help, too, from his furry sister Ruby, we knew he was going to be okay. We just knew that this was the absolute right family for him! When we asked Alexis if they thought they would adopt him, her response was so overwhelming that it brought tears to our eyes. Alexis said, "I think I was meant to meet him," and we couldn't agree more!
You see, we love all of our pups/puppies, but a few hold a special place in our hearts, and Cowboy/Rocco was one of those that wormed his way deep into our heart and soul.
Cowboy, now Rocco, has his VERY OWN forever family and he NEVER has to be scared again!!! VERY special thanks to Diane (his foster) for helping him on his journey! We couldn't be more grateful for our village and for the honor of helping this little guy finally find happiness!!!
Thank you Ruby for letting Rocco be part of your pack. We love you, too!!!! Sorry, not sorry, for the long post :)
Poor, sweet Jiff, now Remi, was soooo scared at the shelter that he would just lie there. He wouldn't move if you leashed him. He was stuck in a place in his brain where he was just terrified! Well, we couldn't let him stay like that in a loud shelter, so he went to one of our amazing fosters, Sandy. It took time, but he began to engage with her pups and people. He was at an event and although still very nervous, he did walk a little on leash. Well then he saw another pup, a large and friendly golden, and he did a 180. We KNEW at that point that he HAD to have another pup in his forever home.
Welllllll, along came Wendy and her Anatolian pup Cloud. It was love at first sight!! Remi is such a different pup than when we pulled him out of the shelter. It's just amazing and without our foster network, this would never have happened for this guy. Thank you Sandy for saying yes and helping sweet Remi on his journey to a happily ever after. We are so very grateful.
Thank you Wendy for giving him time and thank YOU Cloud for letting him be part of your pack!!!! ❤️
Well, we definitely think that Nico, now Rustyn, DOES have the best new parents in town, that's for sure!!! Special thanks to Kate for helping him be his best self!!! This is one special puppy for sure and he's going to be HUGE but that's OK, just more to love. We love you, Rustyn!!!! Happy tails and keep being a good boy!!!

Sweet Bodhi had a very hard start and was one of the most scared pups we've had. Thanks sooo much to Liz for fostering him and helping him make SUCH tremendous progress so he could find his forever home. Of course, we would be remiss if we didn't give a HUGE shout out to Yala, his foster fur sister, who helped him along his journey AND THEN helped him back home when he got out by accident.
What a journey Bodhi, but no more reasons to be scared. Only the bestest life forever!!!
Sweet Bert, now Jet, came in with his 2 brothers as strays. Soooo scared, he would freeze whenever anyone looked at him. He was on the euth list at the shelter. Riley and Nick said, "Well, that's not going to happen! We'll foster him."
From a loud shelter, underweight, terrified, heartworm positive, to NOW, his loving home with 2 furry siblings, meat on his bones and almost done with heartworm treatment, Jet is living his best life. And the bestest of all.......it's with his fosters who just couldn't let him go!!!
Best end to a hard beginning! Thank you Nick and Riley. We are eternally grateful!

He never left and will ALWAYS be the most loved pup! You hit it BIG little man!!! Thank you both for loving him and welcoming him into your home and hearts. We are forever grateful!
ps: Bru was too busy looking at the other pup walking by.....such a little nib Lol!!!
We are so excited to share that Pixie, now Sunny, found her forever home with her fosters!! Some people refer to this as foster failure, BUT we like to think of it as foster success!
Sweet little Pixie was in a loud, scary place until the Hayes family said, "Yes, we'll foster her!"
Well, as soon as they saw sweet Pixie, they fell in love. And let me tell you, that love was mutual. Sooooo, rather than helping her find her new forever home, they became her new forever home, and we couldn't be happier!!!
Enjoy your life now Sunny! Only rainbows and happiness to come! So much thanks and gratefulness to the Hayes family. Smiles all around!!

From rags to riches. Thank you Deb for helping her and thank you Rose and Jack for opening your hearts and home to this sweet girl ❤️
Poor little Gigi, deaf and blind, found herself in a noisy shelter after her owner passed away. With skin issues from fleas, a senior gal, and not being able to understand where she was nor why, she just shook in her kennel! Well, we couldn't have that, nor could her foster Deborah who said YES, I will help her!!!
With the medical intervention that our supporters helped donate, and our loving foster, Miss Gigi not only feels better, she's learned to trust again, and she found her forever home where she feels safe and loved!

Remember Pauline? The sweet little senior in a crate in an overwhelmed shelter??? She had skin issues, was very scared, and just didn't know what her life was going to be.... Well, her Guardian Angel, Sarah, saw her and was relentless in getting her out with rescue support. How could we say no! So here she is, after being fully cleared medically, hair back in with her fur brother AND her mama who just couldn't let her go. NO more worries for you, sweet girl.... You've got it made!! Happy tails to this sweet family 🥰🥰❤️❤️
Look who came from being a stray to a complete lovable companion. Griffin! found as a stray and made into a pound puppy.

Mocha #2, now Mokatu, is so happy in her new forever home!! No more stuck out in the cold with little human contact! Now just warm beds and bunches of love.
Mokatu is here today because a Good Samaritan saw something and did something. Fortunately the owners surrendered her and JUST in the knick of time. Poor Mokatu needed emergency surgery for pyometria and also had a HUGE stone in her bladder. She would not have survived without help and would have died a painful and lonely death. BUT here she is, now living her best life.
Thank you so much Leslie for saying yes to fostering her and then falling in love with her.
We love you so much Mokatu!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

Look who found the bestest home EVER!!! Miss Tilly, a sweet little gal, came into the shelter with her sister Tina. One of our amazing friends saw her and wanted to immediately see her. And guess what?? It was love at first sight :) Special thanks to Liz for fostering her until she was ready to go. And special thanks to Elise and family for opening your hearts and home to this most amazingly sweet and cute little gal! Happy tails, Tilly.....You hit the jackpot!! And don't you worry, your sister is not far behind you!
Guess who got her bestest forever home ever!!! Mama Gypsy, now Bailey! This sweet mama was brought to the shelter as a stray. Two days later, the people who found her then found her 2 puppies whom she nursed to good health. Then 4 abandoned one-week-old puppies were brought to us by a Good Samaritan and, yes, this mama nursed all of them, too!!!
Now, she's finally gotten her turn after taking care of her 2 babies and then 4 orphaned babies! Special thanks to Rebecca for helping her on her journey! And to the Summerville family for seeing just how precious she is!
Happy tails, sweet girl!
Sweet little Sadie has found her forever home with Debbie. And boy is she happy!!! She even has a middle name all her own.....Sadie Mae. Poor little gal "found" with her son (who got adopted) was just thrown away for no reason! She just needed someone to love her and help her be her best self. Rob and family came to the rescue and said yes when we reached out.
Unfortunately, their young one had allergies to Sadie so our new foster Cassidy said, "I can help!" And, boy, help she did! Sadie continued to blossom with Cassidy and her new furry sibling, Winston. Despite their size difference, Winston was a GREAT big brother (literally and figuratively). We couldn't be happier for Sadie Mae and most grateful to our fosters (human and furry) who help all our pups be their best selves!
Little Tinkerbell, now June, has found her forever home and boy is she lovin' it!! She even has a furry sister, Reba, that she can annoy 🤣😊
Thank you Becca for helping her be her best self. From scared little gal in the shelter who would barely come out of her corner to a happy-go-lucky girl who loves to play and loves her humans.
Thank you Mikhaila and Brooks for giving her a chance and opening your hearts and home to sweet June.
Thank you Reba for letting her be part of your pack, even though she can be an annoying little sister sometimes!!!!
Waffles just got adopted and hit the jackpot!!!
What a forever home it is. She is so doted on and loved and soooo very happy! It makes our hearts smile to see this.
Miss Waffles had a go of things for sure..... Came into the shelter matted and scared. Didn't want to come up to anyone and we're sure all her mats were so painful. We reached out to one of our new fosters, Liz, and she said "YES! I will help her" and boy did she!!!
This little gal really exemplified the term "when a village comes together, miracles happen...."
Well, Rebecca got her all fixed up with a grooming that ended up needing to be more of a shave. Liz took care of Waffles through her time immediately after spay and boy did she have a time. Poor little Waffles' incision kept opening slightly and she needed to go back not once, but twice to get repaired. Liz took care of her through all of it. She helped her become comfortable and trusting. Yala, Liz's pup said, "Here, let me help you. It's going to be great from here on out!"
It was quite an endeavor for Waffles BUT she's doing just GREAT now!!! Thank you to Becca and Liz for helping her along the way and special thanks to Ellen and her family for seeing her potential and opening up their hearts and home to this sweet girl! NO more worries Waffles.....you are sooooo loved.
We LOVE happy endings!!!
Sweet Mazy, formerly Lexie, was so scared in the shelter. We knew she needed help and, fortunately, one of our amazing fosters, Diane, said yes, I'll help her! And help her she did. Little Mazy opened up with her new foster Mama and foster fur siblings. She showed her loving personality. And, of course, her innate need to sniff everything LOL!!!
And then the day came when Norma, her new mama, saw her. Norma and her husband just couldn't NOT adopt her. So, now, Miss Mazy is living her best life. NO more worries, sweet girl! You've got it made.
Congratulations, sweet Onyx! You have found a wonderful forever home with Mama Hailey and Papa Blaze! We couldn't be happier for you! And your mama, Gypsy, is very happy, too!

Special thanks to Rebecca and Jackie for helping them get through their nursing and weaning. Special thank you to Trina and Ronnie for opening their hearts and home to this sweet boy.

Samwise, formerly Porter, now has found the very best home!!! Sweet little guy who was going to get dumped in the river with his siblings, found a home but it didn't end up working out to no fault of his own or the first family who loved him. That's okay! He found his new peeps whom he loves with all his heart; AND his new fur sister, Piper, whom he can play and play with! Always scared of men, but when Samwise met Nicolas, it was almost an instant trust! It was amazing to see. We are so very grateful to Eline, Chris and then Karen for helping him be his very best self! Thank you Nicolas and Melinda (and you, too, Piper), for opening up your home and hearts to this sweet guy. Live a happy life Samwise.....you deserve it! ♥️

Miss Pepper, now Chloe, found her forever home with her amazing adopter, Robbin. She was a terrified little girl at the shelter and her time was coming to an end. Of course, we had to save her. Now, they're both SOOOO very happy ♥️.
Chloe, a bit of an elder pup, LOVES playing ball and when she plays you would never know she's 7-8 years old. Her tail hasn't stopped wagging since we pulled her.
Special thanks to our foster Deborah, who said "yes" to helping us help Pepper. Fostering saves lives ♥️♥️♥️
Look who has found her forever home. That's right. Winnie stole the hearts of Al & Anne Davidson.

Special thanks to Eline and Chris for helping this very scared girl on her journey. Because of all they did to help her and her sister, Stelly, Vienna found her forever home.❤️
Stelly with her sister Vienna relaxing in their foster home after being found as strays in Bladen County.
These precious sisters were brought to Animal Control and were scared to death in the shelter. They were shaking and curled up in a corner, too scared to come to the front of the kennel.
They did so well in their foster home, learning to trust and feel safe. And now... they both got adopted and found their forever homes!!! We are sooo happy for you all!!!

Only the best from now on sweet Cassidy!!!
Look who got his forever home ON INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! Yes, it's Chance. He's our young Black Mouth Cur who was positive for heartworms! We were soooo surprised based on how young he was. Not only that, but he had a thrombus in his pulmonary vasculature! Geesh!!! Poor guy.
Thank you to Crystal Lee who took him under her wings to help him get started on his treatments. THEN, his Angel, David, met him and that's all she wrote. They fell in love with each other immediately! He took Chance through his VERY hard journey of HW treatments. Through it all, David was there by his side. These two are definitely BFFFS, no question. Happy lives to both of you.
We are so glad you found each other!!! ❤️

Ryder is no longer lonely! He got adopted!!! — with loving parents and plenty of siblings! When we met Ryder, this sweet beagle mix was terrified of the world. He was found as a stray and was shaking in the shelter. Ryder was HW+ and likely on his own his first six years, never having been in a house before we rescued him.

We wish all of you the best life!!!
Little 4-month-old Mitchell, now Frank, has been adopted! His big brother wasn't sure he wanted a sibling, but Frank persisted, and they're now best friends!
Frank has two front bowed legs due to malnutrition. HOWEVER he is doing well now with supplements, high quality food, and lots of love. Frank is living a beach life! A big thank you to Salena and Kegan for helping him be his best self.
Happy days!!!
Look at this happy girl — Pebbles!!!
Her foster, Nikka, just couldn't let her go. Especially after all they have been through together. 5-month-old Pebbles came from a bad situation, but was a trooper through THREE surgeries. And her foster mom was right there beside her the whole time!! They have an unbreakable bond. We are SOOOO very grateful for Nikka for taking such great care of her and then opening her home and her heart ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

You deserve it, little man!
Baby went to the shelter after her person went into a nursing home. Even in the shelter, she was a happy girl. She's never met a stranger. After going through dental surgery, she was finally able to go to her forever home.
She could not be more loved!

Look who got his forever home!!! Yes it's Percy and he is so very happy!!!
Percy and his buddy Posey were found together in a very bad home and taken to a shelter — where Percy was so scared that he walked around with his food dish in my mouth. Those days are over now, big guy! Welcome to your loving family! Thank you so much Arianna for helping him be his best self and thank you Bob and Claire for opening your hearts and home to this sweet boy!!!
Miss Posey not only got her forever home BUT is also the first of our pups to get adopted in 2024!!
She was found together with her buddy Percy in a very bad home and taken to a shelter before getting her freedom ride. Posey is doing very well while being treated for a hurt leg, possibly due to something hard being wrapped around it. No longer leading a difficult life, Posey has hit the jackpot with her new home and is feeling all the love!!!
Thank you Arianna and Holly for fostering, and thank you Haley, Chris, and Jack for opening your hearts and home!!!!
We couldn't be happier for Major!!!
Major was relinquished after being kept in a yard for the last 5 years of his life. He is blind but has learned to get along quite well. He is VERY social and loves to say hello to everyone. This boy is a VERY sweet guy.
Just look at him now! He hit the jackpot with his new forever family and knows what love is all about!
From Major's adopters: We're enjoying life more than we ever imagined with our happy, smiley boy and it makes me happy to see that he is, too. We took Major with us to my hometown for our family holiday. My family fell in love with him just as much as we have. He met my family dogs. It's almost like my sheltie knew he was blind the way he interacted with him. They were so adorable running around barking together lol It still amazes me how well he does without being able to see.
Little Hawaii, now Shelly, got her home for Christmas and no one was happier than she and her new family... except maybe us!
This nursing mama and her 6 newborn puppies came to us from the Bladen County Shelter.
Special thanks to Becca, Fran & Jackie for fostering them all — and to Amy and family for adopting her!!! She finally has a home of her own and is so very happy!!!
One of Hawaii's puppies, Molokai, is having the best holiday so far! He's found his forever home just in time for the holidays! We couldn't be happier for this little man. Thank you to Paul and Crystal for opening your home and hearts to this baby. Happy trails! And thank you Becca and Jackie for fostering this little guy 😊
Look who got his Christmas present early this year! One of Hawaii's puppies, Kaho‘olawe, also known as Kai, was an extra good boy and got his forever home a few days before Christmas. Merry Christmas, little man. Special thanks to Becca, Fran & Jackie for fostering him and his mama, too! Thank you Maria and Tyler for loving this little guy!!! Merry Christmas everyone🎄

We are SOOO excited to share that Pixie Doodle found her home for Christmas!!! Although we love ALL of our pups, this little girl held a special place in our hearts. She was shot with BB bullets and was heartworm positive. She did not have a good start to life. But, despite this, her resiliency shows through every day in her happiness in being with her humans!!
If only we, as humans, could be so forgiving.....
Special thanks to Brooke for fostering her, then Kristyn for fostering and eventually adopting her. Pixie Doodle's first sunrise with her mama. The start of many more!!!
Look who found her forever home!!
Miss Wren, now Tuesday, with all of her fursiblings and family, couldn't be happier!!!
Special thanks to Amy and Nick (fosters) for helping her and to Lindsay, Cameron, and family for adopting her.❤️
Look who got his Christmas wish, his very own forever home!! That's right.... It's Chico!! ❤️❤️🙌🏻
We had pulled Chico from a local shelter, with a rough start to life — sadly, living outside and then owner surrendered. Despite all of this, Chico is VERY sweet and found just what he needed!!! Lots of reassurance and love.❤️
Special thanks to Ali for being willing to help, and to Robert for continuing to foster him. Thank you Crawford, Jennifer, and family for opening your hearts and home to this sweet boy!
You never have to be alone again!!!
Piper in her new home, complete with her loving human and a fursibling to call her own!!!
