The Downward Dog

Hey there pet families of the Crystal Coast! We’ve noticed there's another company with a name similar to ours, so we want to clarify that we are distinct entities. We are not associated with nor do we work with Downward Dog Canine Transformation on Emerald Isle.

Beautiful doggie - please share - maybe we can help her find her forever home.

***APPLE HAS BEEN CHOSEN FOR ADOPTION!***

We keep hoping someone will come to meet our dear sweet Apple, but she has had no luck in finding a family. Apple is about 6 years old, loves meeting new people, and enjoys the company of other dogs. Apple is a good natured hound and is always wagging. She loves to look at her reflection in the window. One of our fosters crocheted us cute headbands and Apple was very patient in playing dress up. Apple has tested positive for heartworms, so needs a special family who will help her get a healthy heart. Staff is more than happy to answer any HW questions. It has been several weeks since Apple first came to the shelter. It's about time she found her happily ever after.

Dear Downward Dog Family - we need your feedback please. During this slow time we have been restructuring the company - and there's lots of good stuff going on. We are soon going to be partnering with a NC pet collar/harness/leash company because we can give some of the proceeds of every sale to a worthy animal cause. We were thinking Best Friends. If there is another we should consider please let us know. Thanks, Pam and Jose
