Urgent help needed for Buddy!

Buddy, his sister and Mama were all found as strays on August 15th by Animal Control and brought to the shelter.

Unfortunately, Buddy's sister tested positive for Parvo. Buddy and his Mama have tested negative and are currently being monitored closely by our medical staff.

Since Buddy is only 3 month old, we are seeking urgent rescue for him so he can be moved from a stressful shelter setting into a quiet home. He is a very cute Lab/mix puppy and weighs 20.5 lbs.

Please share!! If you are interested in helping Buddy, please reach out to Rescue Coordinator Jennifer Welch at [email protected].

When an animal is surrendered to the shelter by its owner, we take seriously their reasons for surrender, but always try to verify that the information we received was accurate. Ghost was surrendered on the 7th of June; his owner said he was not good with strangers, children, or other animals.

None of us previously knew Ghost prior to his arrival. We were all strangers to him, and he’s been nothing but a happy, cheerful boy for the last 16 days of being a shelter resident. He’s greeted everyone here with nothing but joy. He seeks affection from everyone he meets with an extremely wiggly body and a huge smile! No aggression towards other dogs has been observed, and unfortunately, we can’t test if he likes kids - he is jumpy, so maybe no small ones!

Ghost is 1 years old, 62.0lbs., heartworm negative, and up to date on his vaccines.

Please contact Jennifer Welch, Rescue Coordinator at [email protected] with Guilford County Animal Services if you have room in your rescue for this loving dog.

HEARING IMPAIRED – DEAF IN NEED OF RESCUE

Clover’s mom acknowledged that her sister consistently mistreated Clover, and due to that mistreatment, Clover bit her. Unable to pay for Clover's rabies observation, her owner surrendered her.
Despite the mistreatment she endured, Clover is a happy, goofy, playful puppy who has already learned to sit and wait patiently for her next treat. Clover Viola Rose is 3 months old, 23.6lbs, and up to date on her vaccines.

A good Samaritan found Kit Kat injured and took her to Carolina Veterinary Specialists (CVS). With radiographs, they discovered that Kit has two fractured legs, both on her left side. Her front left leg is an older injury that’s in the process of healing, but her rear left leg appears to be a more recent injury that will require amputation, Kit Kat’s attending doctor explained. She also advised that our little 5-month-old Kit was a wonderful dog with an abundant amount of affection to give. Her staff has completely fallen in love with her and hoped we could help her find her a new beginning.

Please contact Jennifer Welch, Rescue Coordinator with Guilford County Animal Services at 336-641-2642 or [email protected] if you have room in your rescue for this loving little girl.

Seeking Rescue for two Houdini's, otherwise known as Husky brothers Jekyll and Hyde.

On March 8th both Jekyll and Hyde (believed to be brothers) were found running loose by Animal Control and brought to the shelter as strays.

 Hyde is initially reserved when he first meets you, but just as soon as he’s comfortable, which doesn’t take long, he is completely silly! Running, chasing, dodging and play bowing all because he wants you to interact with him! Hyde is a nice dog with the most beautiful brown/blue eyes. He’s 1 years old, 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

 Jekyll (white dog) loves to play and bounce until his tongue hangs out, but what he loves more is attention! Jekyll wants to be right next to you, touching you in some way - he is a true loverboy. He’s also 1 years old, 48.6lbs., heartworm positive and up to date on his vaccines.

Please share these boys to help find them Rescue or an appropriate adopter(s) who understands Husky behavior. For more information, please reach out to Jennifer at [email protected].

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!

Thank you to everyone who commented and shared. A wonderful family with Great Dane experience came to the shelter today and adopted her. She will be spayed first then go to her new home with her new family.

Calling all Great Dane lovers - we need your help. Please Share!

Chappell is a lovable, gentle Great Dane who weighs 90 lbs and is just over 2 years old. Though she can be a bit timid when first meeting new people or in unfamiliar environments, she quickly warms up once she feels safe and secure. Once comfortable, Chappell is incredibly affectionate and enjoys bonding with her humans through cuddles and gentle attention. She has a playful side, too – she loves chasing toys and running around the play yard, always eager for a bit of fun. Chappell also has a curious nature and enjoys sniffing around to explore her surroundings. Despite her initial shyness, her sweet and loving personality shines through as she grows more confident in new situations. Plus, she is heartworm negative, making her a healthy and wonderful companion for anyone willing to give her the time and care she needs to flourish.

Chappell has been at the shelter for over 3 weeks now and needs rescue or an approved adopter with Great Dane experience.

For more information please contact Stephani at [email protected].
