Zoey is trying to be patient.

We keep telling her that her perfect family is out there. Looking for her. She doesn't know that while all of her puppy friends are being adopted, no one is asking about her.

Zoey is sweet. Loving. Playful. Trusting. She starts each day as though it's the greatest day she's ever seen. As though life couldn't possibly get any better than it is right at this exact moment. Zoey exudes joy and wonder with every walk, every new toy, every treat. She is the Carpe Diem poster girl.

Still, we know that life can be even better for joyful Zoey. A family of her own. A home of her own. She deserves it.

Zoey is approximately 1 yr old, Boxer-Pittie mix with a gorgeous brindle coat and sparkling eyes. Athletic, intelligent and affectionate, she loves everyone she meets.
She is crate trained, microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed. A quick learner, Zoey already knows sit, watch, and wait — and she’s now focused on nailing her loose leash walking.

Her favorite things? Zoomies in the playground, chasing balls, and cuddling up afterward. Zoey has a way of making you feel like your the most important human in her universe, especially if you're about to throw a ball!

So...If you’re ready for a loyal, goofy, and loving companion to share life’s adventures with, Zoey can’t wait to meet you! Just submit a no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com and we'll give you a call to answer any questions you may have. Zoey says "Thank you!"

Bottom line upfront: Theo is one lucky boy!

Theo is a one-year-old, 85-pound Rottweiler with a heart as big as his paws. True to his breed, Theo is equal parts strength and sweetness — a loyal companion who just wants your love, attention, and a spot by your side.

Theo is dog-friendly and loves to play, but he’s still a young, powerful pup who will thrive with an experienced adopter. He’s currently enrolled in a professional board-and-train program at Revolutionary Canine, where he’s learning all the skills he needs to be the best boy possible. When you bring him home, you’ll not only be adopting a well-trained dog, but you’ll also gain a lifelong support system — Revolutionary Canine is a fabulous resource to offer advice and continued training if you'd like to further hone Theo's skills.

Because of his size and understandable puppy energy, Theo would do best in a home without small children. He’s looking for a confident leader who can provide structure, continue his training, and show him just how fun and fulfilling life can be.

Theo is vaccinated and soon to be neutered.

If you’re ready to welcome a smart, affectionate, and loyal companion into your life, fill out a no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com. One of our friendly adoption coaches will reach out to tell you more about this handsome guy.

And many thanks to for giving Theo a great start to a happy and fulfilled life.

Sweet Zoey wants desperately to play with other dogs but is afraid to do so until they fully gain her trust. Here she is learning to trust Zoey, choosing to play with her through the gate. How sweet is this? Instead of being reactive with a barrier between she and another dog, she’s figured out how to wrestle with Paisley on the other side of the fence. Zoey is such a fun dog. She’s making great progress! This sweetheart is available for foster or adoption. Contact us for deets!

In "the Biz", we call this a sure-fire sequel.

A couple of weeks ago, we introduced you to our "Movie Star" puppies, and they were a big hit with our audience - so much so that they quickly found their perfect families.

Four of their brothers and sister insisted on joining the party, so let's welcome the rest of the Movie Star Academy. Please hold your applause until the end...

Introducing Woody Allen (M), Humphrey Bogart (M), Betty White (F) and Robbie Williams (M).

Each one of these 10-week old Border Collie-Labrador mix puppies has shown us their own perfectly distinct personalities. One is outgoing and fearless, another is reserved and observant. One is super-social and wants to be wherever the action is, another is a cuddler who just wants to be in your lap.

Our precious little superstars are microchipped, up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines, and great with dogs, kitties, kiddos and basically, anyone with a pulse!

Interested in meeting one (or all) of these sweeties? Just fill out a no-obligation application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com and one of our talent agents/Adoption Coaches will be in touch with you pronto!

Did everyone sleep well last night?

Zoey did. She's been dreaming about finding her forever family. This loving, perpetually upbeat girl spreads the love to everyone around her. Her wagging tail is like a metronome - constantly in motion...sometimes fast, sometimes slow, but always expressing pure joy.

Interested in meeting the happiest girl in the playground? Just submit a no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com One of our adoption coaches will get in touch to tell you more about our girl Zoey!

If you’re looking for a bundle of joy wrapped in brindle fur, Zoey is your girl! This 1-year-old Boxer -Pittie Mix packs alot of love and personality into just 41 lbs. She truly is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate — a dog who will chase a ball one minute and melt into your arms the next.

Zoey gets along well with most of the dogs that she's met, but isn't a huge fan of "in your face" greetings. She did amazing at an outdoor social setting with multiple dogs in the area, minding her handler well and soaking in the "party vibe." Ditto with her trail walk today with other pups. And added bonus, Zoey is also cat and kid friendly, making her a wonderful fit for a variety of homes.

Our sweet, playful girl is crate trained, microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed, so she’s ready to go! Zoey is also a quick learner and already knows sit, watch, and wait — and she’s currently working on her down and loose leash walking. With only some gentle guidance, this smart girl quickly picks up on her handler's cues and beams when she's told that she's a good girl!

Her favorite things? Zoomies in the playground, chasing balls, and cuddling up afterward. An energetic and athletic girl, Zoey will thrive in an active family who is looking for a happy, goofy and loving companion to share all of life's adventures!

Interested in meeting this lovebug? Just submit a no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com One of our adoption coaches will get in touch to tell you more about our girl Zoey!

**Update - ADOPTED!!**

"There's no place like HOME!"

Our sweet little Dorothy Gale puppy is still waiting to find her perfect forever home.
Dorothy's 3 brothers have already been adopted (whatever happened to "Ladies First"?), and she's very happy for them. But she sure would like to be on that yellow brick road to finding her new family.

Like her namesake, our Dorothy is smart, confident, and loving — she's always ready to explore, play, and then settle in for snuggles once her adventures wind down. With her short, sleek coat and bright eyes, Dorothy turns heads everywhere she goes.

We believe Dorothy is a Border Collie/Lab mix and at 9-weeks old, she is already showing her intelligence, bravery, and loyalty. She is microchipped, up to date on her age-appropriate vaccines, and is curious and fearless around our resident (much larger) kitty. Bottom line, this sweetheart is ready to start her journey home.

If you think Dorothy Gale could be the perfect addition to your family, fill out an adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com. One of our friendly adoption coaches will reach out to make sure she’s a great fit.
