Gabby

My name is Gabby, and I am a 5 year old Sharpei Mix. I weigh about 30lbs. I have had a tough life. I was beaten when I was young and lived on the street until I was about 1 yr old. My owners took me into their home in 2004 and I have made great strides at trusting humans again. My owners love me very much and I love them. Unfortunatley, my family is moving somewhere I can't go. I need to find a home with people who have lots of love and can be patient with me. I am still nervous around strangers at first, but warm up pretty quickly. I am an indoor dog that is house trained,but I love to be outside too! I am not used to walking on a leash because I live on 12 acres. So I need a yard I can run around in. I am healthy and have all my shots and get monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative. I would probably be best with older children or adults that move slowly and let me get to used to them. I have lots of love to give and need that special home that will love and take care of me. For more information on Gabby, please contact Susan via email at salasandro@gmail.com

 

Sam & Shug

Sam and Shug's story is a sad situation - one that is rough to take even in the world of animal rescue. A kind lady happened upon them by chance after going with her husband to the couples home on a business issue. When she got to the house, she got out and was greeted by Sam who was very friendly, but somewhat thin. Then Shug appeared - her looks were shocking, she looked like she was starving. You could see hip bones and ribs. She had recently had a litter of puppies. There were 3 of them. They found homes for 2 and kept one. After inquiring if they had any dog food, she found out that they only fed them scraps when they were available - she knew that scraps weren't enough. She immediately went to grocery store and bought dog food for them and has been ever since. She intended to get Shug spayed, and then Shug disappeared. One day Shug reappeared and was again pregnant. Shughad ten puppies and 1 died in 1st few days, another 6 died from heat exhaustion. 1 more disappeared. The owner finally relented to let the good samaritan find mom, dad and the pups a new home. Sam and Shug are sweet dogs who will thrive in a stable home environment. They yearn love and attention. They have been neutered and spayed and are up to date on their vaccines. Please consider giving Sam and Shug a chance at a life of love and care. To learn more about Sam and Shug, please contact Tonya at 919-961-8818 or via email at animalfarm1995@yahoo.com

 

Priscilla

I am on the hunt for a new home! I am Priscilla and I am lots of fun!! In my great foster home, I have a dog named Maya that I play with now and yes, I can take that dog down! I am only 5 pounds but I am the boss! I am litter trained and have had my first shots. I am about 11 weeks old (6/12/09). I would do good with dogs, other cats and I think I would even like those human kids. I was found at a flower farm very skinny and afraid but not anymore. I have fattened up and I am very sure of myself. If you think that you are the right home for me, please call Susan at 412-8135 or email her at critterluver@bellsouth.net I am looking forward to finding my forever home!!

 

Olive

My foster parents call me Olive. I am very sweet and have been living happily and peacefully with an older foster brother and two cats.

Though I am energetic at times, I also love laying around, chewing on bones, and napping. I'm current on my shots and have just been spayed. I am shy at first, but once you get a few pets in and a couple licks you'll be unable to resist me!

Haley
Breed: Shepherd Mix
Sex: Female
DOB: 8/11/08

I am a little shy at first but once I know you I will play with you all day long. I know many basic commands including sit, rollover, shake, five and put your hands up and I will give you ten. I love to give kisses on the face. Ask me to give you a kiss we will meet with each others nose. Ask me to love you and she will put her head on your chest or shoulder (she taught herself this trick). Ask me to give you a hug and I will give you a big one on your shoulder. I love to play ball and chew on Kong, nylon bones. I love to go on walks and walk very good. I like to sleep in a crate. If you tell me crate I will go directly to my crate oh please do not forget to give me a treat. Make sure I have a big water bowl outside and a pool I like to dig the water out. I love to play ball and enjoy playing with toys. Do not give me a soft toy to play with because I will see how quickly I can tear it apart. I have never tore anything up in the house. I want to please my owner in any way. When you leave the house I want a dog biscuit and upon return I will be waiting for you and give you kisses. When I want attention I will jump in your lap. If you hang some sort of bell on the door, cow bell or other I will ring it when I need to go outside. I'm a very good listener and will do what you ask - I want to please you. I like to rough house with you when you let me. I love other dogs and cats.

If you can give Haley a forever home, please contact Susy at Scrappysb@aol.com or 919-630-1770 or 919-630-8013. .

**TEMPORARY FOSTER NEEDED** Hope

Breed:  Terrier Mix

Sex:  Female

Hope has had a very rough life. She was a bait dog and rescued. She lived at the humane society for years. She gets along with cats and dogs after a few moments of being with them. I have had her now for 2 years and would like to keep her. I need somebody to foster her for 2 months and then I will be taking her back.

SAM

Breed:  Terrier Mix

Sex:  Male

Sam is a lab mix that needs a new home. We rescued him about 3 years ago, and we adore him. He is sweet and loving, but he has completely outgrown our home and backyard. We have a brand new baby and a two-year-old. We do not have the time to give him the attention he deserves. We HATE to part with him, but my husband and I know he needs someone that can devote enough time and energy to him. All of his vaccines are up-to-date and he is microchipped and neutered. If you are interested in giving Sam a home, please email me at chrisganna@hotmail.com Thank you.

 

Sheba

Breed:  Chow/Husky Mix

Sex:  Female

A sweet abandoned Chow/Husky mix needs a loving home. She is a very sweet girl who needs some attention. She walks great in a harness, although she does have that famous husky pull factor. She has not been treated properly but still loves to be around people and other dogs. If you think you can provide a loving, safe environment with a big yard, fence, dog house then please let us know. She would be great on a farm. We already have two dogs and cannot keep her. We will deliver and even will give a crate we have. If you are interested in this sweet girl, please email April at adnorris@nc.rr.com

 

Casey

Breed:  Yellow Lab

Sex:  Female

Age:  7 years

Casey is very loving and craves family attention-We feel she needs/deserves more time than we can give her. We have had her since a pup but in recent years, she does not get along with our beagle -who we moved indoors due to age/health issues. We suspect it is a jealousy/pack-mentality thing. She has never shown aggression to people and usually gets along with other dogs. She is AKC registered. She has mostly been outdoors as an adult. Has been on heartworm prevention. Has not been around very young children so I can't comment on that. I would imagine, though, she would be fine with little ones. Our son was 8 yrs old when we got her and she has always done well with him. She is great with people in general; thinks she's a lap dog and as you can see, she's huge (~80 lbs or so). Really--she's still a big puppy. Please contact Lynn at ls1064@yahoo.com if you are willing to give Casey a forever home.

 

Please Help Precious Find a New Home!

I have always been a lover of animals. I have even volunteered and fostered cats in the past. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to part with my lovely little babies. My son's doctor has informed us that his medical problems are due to my animals. He has severe allergies with we are treating with allergy medications. But now he has developed reactive airway disease and cough varient asthema and is on 2 different inhalers daily. The problem is he is not really getting any better and the doctors told us it was due to the animals and that to help him improve we needed to get the animals out of the house. I have no choice but to find them a new home no matter how much it breaks my heart to do so.

Precious is a very spunky 7 yo gray DSH. She was also taken in as a stray and loves to try and get outside (though we don't allow that). Her favorite things to do are lounge in the bathroom sink and sit in your lap and knead at your stomache. She is not a big fan of other animals but will tolerate them as necessary. Precious is spayed and litter trained.

Please contact Christie at chuppert27278@yahoo.com or at 919-210-2871 for more information.

 

Louie

Breed:  Bassett Hound

Gender:  Male

Age:  ~ 10 Years

Louie is an older neutered male basset hound who needs a loving home. He is a very entertaining character. He runs and plays and even fetches! I was told he was 10 years old, but he acts and may be much younger. I was also told he got along with cats but I have not tried this yet myself. Louie's last foster mom said he may need to be an only dog, or at least an only alpha (she has 3 other bassets). So far my experience with Louie has only been wonderful!

If you would like to know more or would like to meet Louie, please call Chris at Pinebrook Kennels (919) 851-1554.
