Maple

DOB: 7/2009

Sex: Female (Spayed)

Breed: Calico/Tortie

Playful, affectionate, very loving.  Maple loves to collect folded socks and gather them at her owners' bedroom door!  She loves to play games, especially tag.  She reaches up to you when she wants to be picked up.  She just loves attention.  Unfortunately, her owners' employment was relocated overseas and they do extensive traveling on the job. Being gone months at a time, they are unable to give Maple the stability she needs.  Maple has everything that a young cat could possibly need: bed, toys and most importantly, medical insurance that will be passed on to her new owner.  She is fully vetted and microchipped.  If interested, please contact Ed or Sita Johnson at eljohnsoniii@gmail.com or (919) 627-5665.

Elsa

DOB: ~1998

Sex: Female (Spayed)

Breed: Siamese mix with blue eyes

Elsa is looking for a quiet indoor or indoor/outdoor home, preferably with no other pets. She will sometimes get along with a dog or a cat though, if they give her space and don’t need to interact with her much.

Elsa is definitely a people cat. Shy at first, she is quick to make friends with anyone who will scratch her back or give her a bite of something yummy. Like many cats, she is affectionate, but on her own terms. Chin, ear, and back scratches are welcome anyplace, anytime, but being picked up and held isn’t always acceptable. She likes plenty of attention, but she isn’t too demanding- she is content just to have you around and to sit near you. She is fond of being with you on the bed or couch, and especially likes to cuddle under the covers. 

Her main hobbies are discovering new places to sleep, returning to the old sleeping spots, chasing grasshoppers, exploring cabinets, and of course, eating.

Elsa is an older lady, but she is still in great health- she is FeLV/FIV negative, and has had bloodwork and a dental cleaning at least every 2 years. She comes equipped with an automatic feeder, scratching post, shipping crate, and soft Sherpa carrier.

Louie

DOB: 3/09

Sex: Female

Breed: Domestic Short Hair

I am a 1.5 year old neutered male. Louis is good with kids, litterbox trained and loves to cuddle. He's such a good cat. For more information about Louis, please contact Emily At EMIKARLS@AOL.COM. 

Bandit

DOB:    ~2005

Sex:     Neutered Male

Breed:  Pruebred Snowshoe Siamese with Blue Eyes

Declawed

Dumped at a high-kill shelter when his former owner relocated to New Jersey, Bandit is now safe and comfortably fostering with me.  He has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and has been fully vetted, including all vaccinations, a complete blood panel, and a dental exam and cleaning. Bandit also underwent surgery to remove tiny, irritating benign tumors from the inside of his earflaps. Quick ear cleanings twice a week will help prevent more from developing. He is 5 years old (a great age in my opinion) and is a slender, muscular cat. While initially shy with strangers, he eventually warms up and wants attention. Bandit is active, playful and very inquisitive about his surroundings, definitely a "Watcha doin'?" little fellow. He quickly learned the game of fetch from my Maine Coon cat and loves for you to throw toy balls for him to chase and retrieve. Though he has discovered his Siamese voice since living with me, Bandit is much quieter than other Siamese I’ve known. Bandit is an affectionate little fellow, who loves being petted and having his neck massaged. He is also one of those rare cats who like to have their tummies rubbed. Recently he’s also become a lap cat, snuggling in for petting and attention. In short, his playful, boyish charms quickly win you over and he’s a fun companion. Bandit will do best in a quiet home without children. He was, however, used to living with small cat-friendly dogs in his former home. Bandit will do best with another friendly, playful feline companion.  Like many oriental cats, he does exhibit a mild form of the “pica” syndrome, an attraction to non-food items. In his case it happens to be thin types of plastic, like food wrap and dry-cleaning bags, as well as crinkly cellophane. Mostly he licks these plastics, though I did see him chew a little on a cellophane-type bag once. Fortunately, Bandit doesn’t actively seek these items out, so it’s been very easy to keep them away from him. I’ve been working with cats for 30+ years and ones with Bandit’s delightful personality don’t come along every day. He will make a wonderful companion!  If you would like to learn more about Bandit and/or submit an application, please contact Richard at rapartridge1@bellsouth.net

Darling  

My name is Darling. My sister has found a forever home and now it is my turn! I was bottle fed since I was 3 weeks old so I LOVE my humans. A nice lady found us under her porch and helped us find another nice lady to feed us and take care of us. We are really sweet girls and we love to play. We also have grown up with two human girls who we really like playing with. If you would like to know more about me, please call Susan at 919-412-8135 or email her at critterluver@bellsouth.net. I look forward to finding a forever home!!!

Chance

PRETTY PRINCESS IN NEED OF HER OWN CASTLE. Chance is terrified, her heart racing! "Why is this happening?", she cries. "Why did my mommy leave me here in this awful place, full of strange smells and loud, scary noises? Why am I in this horrible, little cage? This is like that awful place my mommy took me from when I was a little kitten! HELP ME!!!" Then I look up and there smiling at me is a tall man with a white beard. He speaks and his voice is wonderful, quiet and gentle. "Don't be afraid, little one", he tells me. "You're safe now. I'm here to take you and your friend, Bandit, from this frightening place." And he does! He puts each of us in our own comfy carrier and drives us a long while until we reach his home, talking gently and reassuringly to us the entire way. - - - That was several months ago. Here we have two whole rooms just to ourselves, with lots of food and fresh water, cozy places to sleep, plenty of toys, our own large litter-box and soft music all day long. The man (his name is Richard) took us to the animal doctor several days after we arrived. He seemed happy when the doctor told him we're negative for some things called FeLV and FIV. He and the doctor made certain we have all our shots and our "bloodwork" showed everything is fine. When the doctor noticed one of my teeth hurt, we went back in a few days to make it better and make certain all my teeth are clean and shiny. Richard also stopped worrying when the doctor explained that my left eye is fine, just the cornea is cloudy from an old injury. It really doesn't bother me. Richard visits us a lot and I love sitting in his lap and snuggling up against his chest, giving him kisses and gentle head butts. It's great when he pets me, massages my shoulders and scratches my chin. Richard tells me that I am what is called "very people-oriented". All I know is that I love being with people, but not so much with other cats. Bandit is OK; we've lived together all our lives. Even he gets on my nerves at times, though, and I have to growl at him. Richard has two other cats living in his home - a boy named Diego and a girl named Xena. Diego is very quiet and goes away when I growl at him, just like Bandit. Xena, however, growls back and I really, really don't like her; she doesn't like me either. In fact, before the two rooms were ready, Xena and I had a couple of fights, which made Richard sad. Richard says that I would be happier as someone's only pet. I agree! All of the peoples' attention and their laps would be mine! It would also be great to sleep on the bed with them. None of those little people (Richard calls them "children"), though; they make me nervous. No, I wouldn't miss Bandit. We've lived together a long time, but we've never become close. Richard thinks I'm a wonderful cat and will make someone a great companion. Wow! I'll miss him, but really would like a loving forever home and a person/people of my very own. So, if you're interested in me, Please contact Richard at rapartridge1@bellsouth.net . I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Bailey and Sadie

These puppies are female rat terriers and must be kept together around 8 months old. They are inseparable, sleep, play, eat and spoon together! I am looking for a loving, nurturing family that can provide them with a back yard for play time (they love to be outside) but are inside dogs and should NOT be left out in the heat or cold! I am looking for a family that can provide full medical and dental benefits and willing to stay in touch with me. I need to be assured that they will not split them up. For more information about these wonderful dogs, please contact Paula at 919.559.3921 or via email at paula.vedel@ziprealty.com.

Ginger

Ginger came to us from a kill shelter when her time was up. She is around 1.5 year old beagle with a hint of a basset hound in her. Ginger is very petite girl with beautiful coloring. Only 22 pounds. She has a great laid back personality, is very friendly, loving, cuddly and extremely gentle. She has been around small children that pulled her ears and poked her and she just held patiently. Ginger does well with other dogs but isn't the kind of a dog that would immediately start playing with them. She usually ignores cats too, occasionally she barks at them but doesn't show any aggressive tendencies towards them at all. Ginger would be an excellent pet for someone who will let her sleep on their couch, take her on walks and let her be the queen of the house. She is quite an easy girl and doesn't howl/bark too much or too loud, does well in crate and is housebroken. Ginger's new family MUST have fully fenced in yard as she like most beagles likes to wonder and is not trusted off leash. Her hound nose will take her out of the yard in no time and she is too focused on the scents outside to come back when you call her. Ginger has been spayed, microchiped, given parvo/distemper shot, rabies, bordetella vaccine and has been dewormed. When she came to us about a month ago she tested positive for heartworms and was treated on 8/28/10. She shouldn't have any complication or problems in the future at all. Please email us back at if you would like to meet Ginger. Her adoption fee is $150 Thank you for your interest. savedlives16@yahoo.com.

Bo

His name is Bo. He is estimated 7 months old and the previous owners never gave me shot records for him, which of course means he most likely had none. He is amazing with kids of all ages and other dogs, but has never met a cat. He is house broken, never been crate trained but I do know that he will potty in the apartment on occasion due to be left alone too long. If you believe you can give him the loving home he deserves please call me. Thanks! Sophia:919-455-3838

Wanda

Meet “Wanda”! Wanda is a 2.5 year old black Lab mix that I rescued from the Wake County Animal Shelter. Wanda has been my foster dog, but is in need of a permanent home so that I can continue to foster and save another life. Wanda is fully vaccinated, is already spayed and is heartworm negative. She weighs approximately 48 lbs and has a shiny black coat and beautiful auburn eyes. She is good with other dogs and has been around cats several times and appears fine with them also. She is very used to sleeping in her crate at night. Wanda loves riding in the boat, swimming in the lake, going on long hikes in the woods, playing with other dogs, peanut butter kongs, chew toys, getting her back rubbed, and going to doggy daycare. Wanda will need more training on chewing on things outside (plants and other items) - she has gotten much better about this, but still needs some work. Please contact me at jpowersral@yahoo.com to arrange a visit. Thank you! Julie

Bailey

Bailey, a 10 year-old female Boxer/Shepherd Mix whom we have been fostering the past few months. Her owner (who had rescued her from a shelter a few years prior) passed away very suddenly in March. This lady happened to have adopted a Cocker Spaniel whom we had fostered a few years earlier, and this is how we got involved. We placed the Cocker fairly quickly, but have had very hard time placing Bailey. Despite being in excellent health and spirits for her age, she has developed cataracts, causing some anxiety problems. She is now in an intensive training program with a very reputable trainer. All we want is for this sweet, affectionate girl to live out her golden years in a peaceful, quiet home. However, we are unable to keep her ourselves. My grandmother, who lives with us, is about to have open-heart surgery, and nursing staff will be in and out all day long. We have no option but to keep her cooped up, which makes her miserable. For more information on Bailey, contact Zecca-Naples at teckelgirl@aim.com

Champ

Hi! My name is Champ. I am a young boy with lots of energy. I am good with kids, kitties, other dogs and I am housebroken! Rebecca is working with me on my obedience now. I already know sit, and I have been updated on my vaccines. I was found on the side of the road earlier this year when it was very cold out. I was sleeping beside a stop sign for several nights in a row before Rebecca scooped me up and brought me to the kennel. I didn't want to go because I was unsocialized and afraid. But, now I LOVE everybody. I'm getting neutered later this month and then I would like to find a home to live in with someone who will love me back. The kennel is nice and I have lots of friends but Rebecca says I'll get more attention in a home. I love attention! Here are some pictures of me. If you can make room for me in your home please call Rebecca at 919-963-4000.

Hope

I used to be called #32980. I was pulled from Robeson County Animal Shelter on 03/30/10 by a group called Citizens For Saving Animals. They drove me to Fayetteville where a lady named Rebecca picked me up. She put me in her van even though I was very afraid. She fed me crackers while we rode to a place she called "the kennel". There were a lot of dogs there and I was very nervous. She gave me food and took these pictures of me. She began calling me Hope and I like that much better. I've had a great time at "the kennel". I feel much better even though I don't get fed as much as I used to. Rebecca said I had to go on a diet because I've started getting fat. I am housebroken and I will sit politely if you ask me to. I'll walk beside you on a loose leash and catch cookies in mid air! I do not like kitties but I adore children! I am a dominant female so I should be placed with caution and introduced properly to other dogs. I'm not mean, I just need to be top dog. Rebecca says she loves me but that I deserve more. I am happy at the kennel but she says there is something called a home that would be even better. Even though I've had a rough time, I've learned that not all people are bad and I'd be willing to give you a chance in that "home" I keep hearing about. Here are some pictures she took of me today. I like having my picture taken. It means extra cookies and attention! I will be spayed soon, then I will be ready to go. If you can make room for me in your home please call Rebecca at 919-963-4000.

Hudson

My name is Hudson. I am a ~1 yr old Lab Mix who is a happy guy. I'm neutered, current on all vaccines; crate-trained, and do well on a leash. I love to run and play with my foster siblings and get along great with anyone I meet. I'm 60 pounds right now and the doctor thinks I need to gain a few more pounds. I'm pretty skinny, but I love to eat! My foster mom thinks I would do best in a home with lots of room to play and another dog to play with. Contact Whitney if you think I might be the guy for you at hilton.whitney@gmail.com

Sam

Meet Sam. He is a 6 month old male. He is black with some brown markings - the vet said he seems to be part German Shepherd. He is very loving and sweet. He is good with kids. He has been around other dogs and seems to be fine with it. He has also been around a cat but it is not his fault that they don't get along - the cat is very territorial. He has had his first round of shots and has had his heart worm medicine as well as Advantage Tick and Flea medicine. He is learning to walk on a leash and has been in a crate during the day since I found him and he is crate trained but not house trained yet. He is 29 pounds and the vet estimated he would be around 60-70 pounds when full grown. For more information about Duke, please contact Julia at 919-274-7576 (cell) or 919-661-9045 (home).

Jet

I have an 8-year-old black lab that needs a home quickly. A wonderful situation would be with children who want to throw a ball with him, plus a place to run. He loves to play and be loved. However, he is scared of loud noises and thunder. Please contact Greg for more information at 919.431.8774 or gregtallen@ymail.com.

Buddy

Meet Buddy: 55 lbs, moderate Size, neutered and microchipped, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, heartworm preventative, and flea/tick meds. Buddy is housetrained, crate-trained, leash-trained and responds to simple commands (sit, stay, drop it, shake). He loves to take car rides, long hikes, chasing his tail, running at full speed in the open secure spaces and snuggling on the couch. Buddy would do best in a home with lots of love, affection, and attention from Adults and Teens and who enjoy the Outdoors and can give this guy the daily exercise he needs. He should not be in a home with cats or similarly “accessible” small pets. If you are looking for a loyal, obedient and high energy pet, Buddy is the dog for you. Potential adopters should be prepared to complete a thorough application, telephone interview, and one or more home visits. A rehoming fee applies. For more information, contact Rene Hart at 919.271.3124 or via email ReneHart@earthlink.net .

Jamba

We have moved and no longer have the room that Jamba needs. She would do best with a fenced in yard and maybe another gentle dog to play with or a home where she'll get lots of love and attention. She is almost 5 years old (DOB 07/2005). We rescued her from Hurricane Katrina as a puppy. The vet thought her mom was full Catahoula Leopard Dog but was unsure what the mix was. She is about 65 lbs. She is an inside dog, completely house trained and knows basic commands. She does not chew anything except toys that she is given. She loves big spaces to run and play. She is spayed and is fully up to date on her vaccinations and she has the “Homeagain” re-location chip. We will provide her beds, blankets, food and water bowls and toys that she has. She is a very loving and affectionate dog. We have had two babies since we've had J amba and she has been wonderful with them. She has never been around cats, so I cannot say how she would be with them. She is heartworm negative and is current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. She has never had any medical problems and we can provide her last vet exam results. We are hoping to find her a foster or forever home very soon as she has been pretty sad since we moved and she doesn't have the space she needs. For more information, please contact Michelle at 919-585-5262 or via email jmichelle1977@yahoo.com.

Missy

This is Missy. She is a very sweet girl. She was neutered when we adopted her, but we have not been able to afford her shots. She is a St. Bernard/Hound mix and she is about 6 or 7 months old. She weighs about 40 - 50 lbds. Just a little about her personality : She whines when she wants to go potty, but it is so light sometimes you will miss it and she will have an accident. She is an inside and outside puppy. She loves to play fetch, and loves to get a lot of attention. She is very good with our two year old, even when she is in a choke hold:) She is very social, but gets very anxious when she is alone. The last time we left her alone she dug up my in-laws carpet. I tried to get a good picture of her, but as you can see she wouldn't stay still. She just does't know her own strength, so she needs someone who can handle a very strong, hyper puppy. I added a few pictures so you could see her coloring. the_youngs2007@yahoo.com

Jake

Jake came to us as a stray. He is very sweet, affectionate, & good with other dogs & children. He isn't mean to my cat but she will run from him and he does give chase. He isn't mean to her and doesn't act as though he would hurt her. It is as though he just wants to sniff her and see what she is about. He is definitely not the alpha as our other dog rules him quite dominately. He is skittish and I think he may have been abused at one time. I have never seen any aggressiveness in the month I have had him. He is pretty much crate trained and has only an occasional accident in the house now & then. He likes to be with someone but will stay outside in my fenced yard. I am not sure how old he is. He is very playful but not overly so like a puppy. I have dewormed him and treated him for fleas but haven't had any other vet care for him. For more information , please contact Celena at finchfry15@yahoo.com

Found Dog

I found this Golden that I believe to be abandoned). He is a happy, energetic neutered young male (probably 2-3 years old). We need to have a foster or adoption family found for him, as our current golden doesn't like having another dog around. We took him to our vet (Preston Animal Hospital) and had the following taken care of: Rabies shot, Bordetella shot, Heartworm test (negative), bathed and de-flea'd. For more information , please contact us at 919-461-0966(h), 919-455-4694 (cell), or at duncbarb2@earthlink.net

Buck

Breed: Boxer/Terrier Mix
Sex: Male

Buck was rescued from a rough situation and needs a new home. Please consider giving him a forever home! He is up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines. For more information please contact dogs@pawprintsrescue.org

Mitzie

Meet Miss Mitzie! She is adorable puppy at almost 1 and 1/2 years old. Her "birthday" is April 17th, 2008. She's playful, active and friendly and loves to make new friends. Her mama was a mixed breed who weighs 30 lbs and looks much like a tiny German Shepherd and her daddy is a 15 lb pug. She is 20lbs, and has "puppy insurance" through Banfield, The Pet Hospital of PetSmart. Mitzie has also been spayed, and is up to date on all vaccinations and microchipped. She is current on all her heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick prevention. She is great with other dogs and cats; she lived with another dog and a young cat when she was little so she does very well with other animals. She is also great with kids of all ages! She is trained to "potty" outside, with walks, but she is a puppy and sometimes forgets. She has been crate and leash trained and used to being indoors as well as outdoors. She is a wonderful puppy, all she needs a big backyard and people to play with her. She also knows basic commands, sit, stay, hush. Unfortunately, we live in an apartment building and with her small size thought she would be a good match, when we got her September of 2008. But she turned out to me more of a "puppy" than we can handle right now. She is great with kids and people; she loves long walks and being out and about with you! She especially loves car rides! She really would like a family, or couple with a big backyard to play in! All we are asking for is someone who will take care of her and make sure she is happy. She comes with her own food/water bowl, pet carrier, brush, collar, leash, and all proof of her insurance, microchipping and vaccinations. Her adoption fee is negotiable. We live in Burlington, NC and the phone number is 336-639-9810 or you can email ericahruslinski@hotmail.com

Ginger

Ginger is a Lab/Shar Pei mix. She was also rescued from a high kill shelter just two days before she was to be euthanized. At only about 1 and a half years old she is a bundle of energy. She craves human attention but gets along great with her other foster buddies. She also does well with children or all ages including babies. Ginger has a beautiful expressive face and just wants to be loved. For more information on Ginger, please contact Holly Griffin at 757)593-0616 or via email hgriffin@enpointe.com
