LEA (A412357) video in comments

Meet our sweet little girl Lea. Isn't she beautiful with her big brown eyes and her gorgeous fur coat with freckles throughout?
Lea is a spayed Plott Hound mix. She weighs 37 pounds and is heartworm negative. Lea was brought in after she was found wandering around Fayetteville alone. No one came for her and now she is waiting for a new forever home.
Lea met me at her kennel door with a friendly face and tail wags. She was happy to see a visitor and was ready for treats and pets. Lea took treats gently from my hand and she gave me plenty of kisses to say thank you.
I leashed Lea up and we headed outside for a break. Once outside Lea took care of her business right away. I would say she is likely housebroken.
Lea walks good on leash and she was happy to explore the yard taking in all the new sights and smells. She showed off her submissive side and is eager to please. She had a good time while outside and was on her best behavior at all times. Lea leaned in close to my legs for pets. She was especially fond of back scratches and she loved all the extra attention.
Lea is a happy, friendly, playful, loving, and well behaved little girl. She is calm, quiet, and a good listener.
Sweet Lea would love to have a home where she can get back to cuddles on the couch with her new family. Our shelter is very full, can you give our sweet girl Lea a home?
Lea is at Cumberland County Animal Services, Fayetteville, NC 910-321-6852

MAGDELENE (A417358) video in comments

Hello Magdelene. She’s a spayed, 1 year old terrier who is heartworm negative. She was found as a stray and no one came to look for her.
Magdelene is standing at the front of her kennel, watching all the activity. She’s waiting to be noticed and taken outside. She greets you with plenty of tail wags.
Once Magdelene got outside she opened up and showed off her personality. She dances for treats. And, she loves to run and play. She played with the ball, she tried to walk herself, and she played with the leash. Magdelene was happy to run, sniff, and explore.
Magdelene is a super sweetie as well. She stays close to people and soaks up all the love given to her. She likes gentle rubs on her back and she might even give you little kisses in return. Magdelene is looking for a family to run and play with and also to share her love with. Will you open your home to this sweetie?
Magdelene is waiting to meet you. Come visit her at Cumberland County Animal Services. No appointment needed. Magdelene is ready for a fresh start and new adventures with you. She just needs a freedom ride out of the shelter. 910 321-6852.

‼️Urgent for space-needs out TODAY‼️
CALYPSO (A417620)
can u temp foster to save my life? contact [email protected]

Meet our gorgeous and sweet girl Calypso! She is about 3 years old and a Beagle mix. Calypso is low heartworm positive. Please don't let that stop you from adopting as heartworm is not contagious and can be treated.
Calypso was brought to our shelter as a stray and now she needs a home. She looks to have had at least a litter of puppies in her past and now it is her turn to be a loved family member.
This little darling is all about getting some love and pets. Calypso was happy to have a visitor. She greeted me at the front of her kennel with a wagging tail and a friendly face. She leashed up easy and we went outside for a break.
Calypso was on her best behavior at all times. She walks good on a leash and quickly showed off her great manners. She was grateful for the extra attention and treats, and she gave me sweet kisses in return.
Calypso gave her best model pose for the camera. She is a friendly, sweet, loving girl who just wants to be loved! She can't wait to get back to ear scratches and back rubs with a new family of her own!
If you are looking for your next furry best friend, please consider adopting Calypso. She sure would love to go home quickly as the full shelter is just no fun for this sweet girl!
Calypso is at Cumberland County Animal Services, Fayetteville, NC 910-321-6852

After being surrendered to the shelter when his family moved away without him, Scooby is longing to know what real love is. 🩷

Scooby is a six year old, 59 pound, well-mannered boy who loves to play! He's a bit bashful at first meet, but a sweet and good boy at heart. He walks well on leash, is housebroken, crate-trained, and even knows some commands. Scooby has definitely become a favorite amongst the staff and volunteers! He is also dog friendly, but prefers female pup friends. After chasing tennis balls in the yard, Scooby prefers to cuddle up in a nice cozy spot for a good nap.

Scooby is neutered, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated, making him ready to being his next chapter with a family that will love him forever. Scooby is a great boy and will make a great companion!

It's not too late to make Scooby your Valentine this year! Apply below and an adoption counselor will reach out to set up a time for you to come meet this sweet boy and get your journey together started!

Minty and Applejack are ready for a home full of love 💕

Meet Minty and Applejack—two brave girls who have been through more than their fair share of hardship but are still filled with hope and love. Found as strays together, both were underweight and showing signs of a rough life spent outdoors. Their spirits were tested by the challenges they faced, including being heartworm positive, but through it all, they’ve stuck together, bonded by an unbreakable friendship.

Minty, is a sweet 5-year-old, weighing around 36 pounds. Applejack, is a 2-year-old, weighing 40 pounds. They’ve been a source of comfort for one another through their difficult journey, sharing a kennel at the shelter and providing each other with warmth and support. Now, both girls are finishing their heartworm treatment and are ready to find a loving home where they can truly feel safe and loved while they recover.

Though they’ve had a rough start, Minty and Applejack are incredibly gentle, social, and resilient. Both are spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and have shown signs of being housebroken. They are medium energy, happy to enjoy a peaceful day with their people or share time with other dogs.

Minty and Applejack are urgently looking for that special home—a place where they can rest and heal together, surrounded by love. They’ve endured so much, but with the right family, they will flourish into the loyal, loving companions they are meant to be. Could you be the one to give them the forever home they deserve? These girls are waiting to fill your life with joy, and they’re ready to make a fresh start!
