Meet the REINDEER litter of 10 adorable 6-week-old puppies that found their way to our shelter as strays. We are heartbroken and exhausted from endlessly picking up the pieces of those that fail animals in our community and refuse to spay and neuter. We are looking for immediate rescue placement for these cuties.

Foster based rescues are unable to support shelters by pulling dogs into their care without committed fosters. Are you interested in fostering any of the puppies above? Send us a DM and we’ll let our rescue partners know.

Puppy info:
•4 females, 6 males
•weight 5.0 lbs-6.8 lbs as of 12/3
•friendly and curious

SHADOW: Big Headed Baby

🎃 4 year old, 54lb male (needs to gain a few pounds)
🎃 Big head, big heart
🎃 Shadow is super friendly, but he doesn’t overwhelm you with his easy going personality.
🎃 Great on leash, walks slowly and doesn’t pull
🎃 He loves treats, and is a smart boy who will sit easily on cue for them.
🎃 Has met some doggy friends through kennel gates and has had positive interactions with them.
🎃 Shadow is Heartworm positive (not contagious)— meaning he needs treatment, and rescue. If you would be open to fostering Shadow through a rescue, please DM us!

We try to keep this page positive and focus on showing the amazing dogs that we have in the Anson County Animal Shelter (Polkton, NC), but this year has been hard in North Carolina in the animal welfare world. And right now is one of the hardest moments we’ve had. We are full. We are running out of room. We have adult dogs in puppy spaces because our adult kennels have dwindled. We are desperate to move out our dogs into loving forever homes or foster homes (via rescue).

View ALL of our dogs at the link in our bio! 🔗

Please DM us if you’re interested in adopting or fostering any of our amazing dogs. We’re happy to provide more information, photos, or videos! If you’ve considered it, the time is now to help our deserving dogs, many of whom have waited far too long in kennels for a chance.
