Family Addition Dog Rescue of Charlotte

11/07/2024

This sweet girl is settling into family life so well. She has not met a stranger, yet. Everyone simply falls in love with her calm, loving personality. Anyone thinking of adopting Sakari should be ok with having zero personal space and providing pets and hugs, as wanted. 😉
Sakari is approximately 8yrs old. She is fully vetted, spayed and up to date with preventatives. She is still rather thin, but is filling out so nicely. She takes her daily thyroid medication without any issue. She is potty trained. She is fantastic for her groomer. She does well with touching of any place on her body & all noise levels. We do not know about thunder or fireworks as we have not experienced that with her. Sakari will be going in for surgery to remove a questionable lump on her hind leg at the end of November. Once we are sure she is on her way to complete recovery, she will be ready for her furever home.
She is great with kids, dogs of all sizes and cats. We have been told she lived with chickens & ducks that she did well with, but have not personally experienced that. She has a low bark that, while often, is not obnoxious. She does not seem to have a high prey drive, leaving all of the squirrels and birds in our yard alone.
While Sakari is expected to be an indoor, family dog, she is a working breed with a double fur coat. Any potential adopter should be familiar with the breed standard and have reasonable expectations for Sakari. She should have access to plenty of outdoor experiences (even if they are just hanging with you in the yard) and regular grooming sessions to avoid matting.
Even though Sakari is not ready to join her furever family, just yet, we have chosen to allow for applications as she is ready to start looking. To request an application or ask more questions please email [email protected].

When dog rescuing runs through your veins, you are always ready to do what you can to help - even on vacation! Did I see an “adopt me” bandana from afar? Yes I did. Did I watch to see how that adoptable dog acted as she was walked toward me? Absolutely. Did I creep in her path to get a chance to interact with her myself and ask her handlers all the questions? Sure did!

This is Meg. Isn’t she beautiful? Meg has been living at the Grand Strand Humane Society for around 4 months. Some really sweet volunteers decided to bring her for a walk on the beach this weekend and I am so glad they did! I am told she was used as a breeding dog. She had heartworms but has finished treatment. Her dark eyes tell a story or survival but also hope. It looks like someone took a pair of kitchen scissors to her ears. I hope karma finds them and treats them terribly. Her teeth are yellowed, her right eye has drainage, her fur is dull, and her skin needs some work. Nothing a trip to the vet, a good diet, a few baths and a little love won’t fix. Meg is estimated to be 3-4 years old. She has no reason to even like people but it is clear she loves them. All of them. Big ones, small ones, young and old. I watched her stop and get love from whomever would pay attention to her. She was in heaven! She was the sweetest friendliest girl. She walked great on a leash. Her profile says that she doesn’t like other dogs (who can blame her). It also says they would be willing to assist with meet and greets. I can say that watching her on the beach, she did not seem reactive to the other dogs that were around. She wasn’t even interested in them. I’m willing to bet that she would be fine with proper introductions and dogs that don’t have interest in being in her personal space.

If you are looking for a loving girl dog with a big, heart shaped head, please consider Meg. This girl deserves a home and family that will treat her right and take her for long walks on the beach ❤️🐾❤️

Officially introducing Otter (fna Jake)! We pulled this beefy guy from CMPD Animal Care & Control last week and he is settling into his foster home nicely. Otter was adopted from the shelter back in June only to be returned a few months later for ridiculous reasons that can only be blamed on the owners for not taking the time to train him. Otter is thought to be around 2 years old. So far we know he is a sweet and loving guy, takes treats gently, is eager to please and is kid approved. Stay tuned for more Otter updates as we get to know more about him.

As a non-profit organization, we cannot save dogs like Otter without your donations. Please consider donating so that we can continue to help deserving dogs find their happily ever afters ❤️🐾❤️

Hazel wanted to show off her popcorn catching skills in hopes that someone out there is in search of their own popcorn catcher! Hate missing scenes of the movie because you are searching for those dropped pieces in the couch? Hazel will find them and clean up the mess for you! This is only one of the many reasons that Hazel makes the perfect teammate. If you are interested in adopting Hazel, request an application by emailing [email protected].

Just a little Hazel wondering why nobody wants to adopt her 😢. Help us by sharing Hazel’s posts. She is the sweetest girl and would make such a great companion. She is crate trained, house trained, walks well on a leash, does great on car rides, is fine with cats, likes kids and gets along with other low key dogs. She loves to play with balls and snuggling under the covers of a big comfy bed
