Tarot is always ready for fun. This 10-month old, male 40-lb pit mix wants to play all day. Every morning since he was rescued from the shelter, he empties his foster family’s toy box and spreads the toys throughout the house and the yard. His favorite activity may be to take a large stuffed toy, throw it up in the air over his head, and then chase it down. He also loves to play with his foster sister dog and neighbor dog, running around the yard and wrestling non-stop. Once he has exhausted himself from play, he loves to curl up next to you - or better yet on top of you - and get his cuddles.

For a younger dog, Tarot is a very quick learner. Other than a few small accidents on his very first day out of the shelter, Tarot has shown to be fully potty trained. He sleeps through the night, snoring away. He has learned quickly to sit when he comes inside from playing outside, and as long as treats are involved, has mastered lying down. Tarot walks well on a leash and has shown no signs of being leash reactive. He has also been very respectful of the “rules” established by his older foster sister, who does not always welcome Tarot’s exuberance. He will do very well in a house with other dogs. (We don’t know how he would do with cats.) Tarot will also do well with children. While he does not have young kids in his foster home, he was ready for pets from the young visitors at a recent meet and greet event. Tarot is not left alone very often, but he has done well in the crate for short durations or when the family has been out for dinner.

Tarot loves every dog and person he meets and is always ready to play or snuggle.
He is neutered and up-to-date! Tarot is ready to find his forever family!

Sweet Backlash is the last of her litter to be adopted. She is still at her puppy foster's house and would love to find her forever home. She is a sweet husky girl with a little attitude and a lot of love. She enjoys joining in the husky howl her siblings have every day. She is 6 months old and p*e pad trained. Lets get this girl adopted before she officially spends her first birthday in rescue!

Copper has mastered many commands, but fetch still isn’t his thing. He’ll chase the ball and come back empty-handed—much like his search for a family. He’s still waiting for the one that sticks.

Copper is potty trained, crate trained, eager to learn, and an all-around great boy. We’re urgently looking for a foster or, even better, his forever home.

SirLoin: the gentle knight of the litter.

SirLoin might have a playful name, but this little guy is all about sweet, calm vibes, and heart-melting affection. One of the smallest pups in the litter, he's got a quiet confidence that's impossible not to love.

SirLoin enjoys the simple joys in life: zooming around the room, diving under furniture like a little explorer, and wrestling toys with his siblings. He loves human interaction just as much, often seeking out his people to play or snuggle up. Despite his small stature, this boy's spirit is strong, and he has a soft, thoughtful presence that makes him stand out.

His looks are just as charming: a sleek, almost fully black coat with little white accents under his chin, that looks like he has a white goatee and continues down his chest, plus white-tipped toes on his back feet that look like he's walked through powdered sugar. SirLoin also has an extra toe on his right back foot. It's an elegant and adorable combo that gives him a unique and cuddly appearance.

Smart as a whip, SirLoin picked up his name and learned to come and sit for treats by 8 weeks old. He's eager to please, gentle at heart, and perfectly suited for a loving family who will appreciate his soft, loyal soul.

Sundae: the sweetheart with a snuggly soul.

Sundae is just as sweet as her name suggests- a gentle, loving pup with big soft eyes that will melt your heart in a single glance. She's one of the most affectionate puppies in the litter, always eager to crawl into your arms for snuggles and stay close by your side.

While she enjoys playful romps with her siblings, Sundae truly shines in quiet moments of connection. She's incredibly smart for her age, having quickly learned her name and how to sit on command well before 8 weeks old. That early intelligence paired with her loving nature makes her the total package.

Her delicate, beautiful face and calming presence make her easy to fall in love with. Sundae also has an extra toe on her back right foot, which just adds to her sweet uniqueness. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will shower you with love and affection, Sundae is the kind of pup who will be your best friend for life!

Meet June.
June was found alone and starving beside a construction site, painfully thin and clearly having had a rough start to life. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s a gentle soul who is slowly learning that people can be kind. June needs a patient, understanding foster who will give her the time and space to build trust and discover what it means to feel safe. She’s still figuring out how to “be a dog” and will thrive with calm guidance and consistency. June can be anxious around other dogs—not out of aggression, but uncertainty—so she’ll do best with someone who can help her gain confidence at her own pace. With patience and love, June has the potential to blossom into a loyal and deeply rewarding companion.

Sweet Fiyero 🐾🐾

1 year old, 80 lb German Shepherd mix! He’s the sweetest fella and his favorite thing is fetch! He also loves to talk!
He walks great on leash, he loves going on walks in the park!
He is dog friendly, his foster home has 7 and he gets along with all of them! Just have to introduce properly!
He is fine with kids, current foster home has a 1 1/2 year old and he kind of just blows him off🤣
Fiyero is house trained and crate trained, he’s such good boy!
He is a big scaredy cat though and weary of strangers, it takes him a few days to warm up and he’s good to go! ❤️
We would love for someone with Shepherd experience to give this big boy his forever home!

This is Nova's story. One of many. One of the many we can't leave behind and are deserving of a chance
She is 5-year-old Lab mix. She came to us after an incredibly heartbreaking situation—her former owners attempted to have her euthanized simply because she suffered a broken front leg. Thankfully, Nova was given the second chance she always deserved. Despite her past, Nova’s spirit shines bright. She's all healed up well and thriving. Nova adores people, and has done well meeting older children. She’s now looking for a soft place to land while she continues her recovery and waits for her happily-ever-after. If you can open your heart and home to this sweet girl, Nova will reward you with endless love and devotion. Could you be the happy next chapter in Nova’s story?

Boone was found wandering in rural North Carolina.

After suffering several unknown traumatic events, his leg was severely injured and left untreated for far too long.

After weeks of working with animal control and his owner, Boone was finally surrendered so he could receive the medical care he desperately needed.
To give him the best chance at a long, pain-free life, we took the veterinarian's recommendation and made the hard decision: amputation.

Boone is now healing in a loving foster home and has a potential adoption in the future — but his surgery and recovery, along with the many medical cases we take in, are incredibly costly.

If you’re able to support our mission — for the healthy dogs and the medical ones — we would be so grateful.

💛 If you can just help one dog… please let it be me 💛

Hi, I’m Copper.
I’ve been in boarding for months, and no one has chosen me yet. I don’t know why — I’m a 2–3 year old yellow Lab, rescued as a stray, and I try so hard to be a good boy.

I’m house trained, crate trained, and I know my commands. I’ve finished basic obedience and I love learning. I’m playful, active, and I really want to please my person.

I’m a little shy at first… but once I feel safe, I bond deeply and love with my whole heart. Boarding isn’t where I’m meant to be — it’s hard, and I don’t get to show who I really am here.

All I need is one chance.
A foster or foster-to-adopt who will let me be part of a home — even temporarily.

If you can help me, please reach out today.
📱 Text 919-368-6315

👉 Adopt me here:

Please share. I’m still waiting… and I promise I’m worth it. 💛🐾
