Meet Petrie, a very sweet 4-year-old female weighing 39lbs. She’s looking for a safe place to land after finding herself stray at the Shelter. 💔😭 Petrie has a gentle, loving temperament and adores people. She’s friendly, calm, and eager for affection — truly a sweetheart who just wants to be part of a family. 🤩🐶🏡

Petrie does have a small spot of hair loss on her face that could possibly be from an untreated skin issue, but otherwise she seems healthy and bright. She deserves a chance to get the care and love she needs.

Staff is hoping to find a rescue who can take her in, provide medical attention for her skin, and help her find her forever home. Petrie is HEARTWORM NEGATIVE and up to date on RABIES, DHLPP and BORD vaccines.

Staff has completed a female temp test with Petrie (which went fantastic), but due to her currently being “in heat”, staff does not believe it to be fair to temp test with a male. Temp test video in comments.

Petrie has a 25$ pull fee and needs a commitment by Nov 21st.

❤️ SAFE ❤️ Dog Warriors Rescue

Meet OREO! He is 10 months old, 15 pounds, and intact. Oreo’s life has already taken a few unexpected turns. 💔😭

This little Chihuahua puppy was adopted from the shelter back in March. He’s now been returned because his family no longer has time for him. It’s such a heartbreaking situation for a young pup who only wants to feel safe and loved.

And although he would be eligible for adoption, Oreo is understandably very scared here at the shelter. He’s had a few impressive escape attempts from his kennel (we can’t blame him for trying!), but even in his fear, he has shown no aggression at all. He’s a gentle soul who just doesn’t understand what’s happening and he’s scared.

He does seem to be afraid of cats, and staff has not yet tested him with other dogs.

Oreo enjoys treats—those seem to be the way to his heart—but toys don’t quite interest him yet. 🍖👍🏻🎾👎🏼 With patience and kindness, we know he’ll start to come out of his shell and learn how to be a carefree pup again. Let's not fail Oreo again.....

Oreo has received his DHLPP, BORD and RABIES vaccines and has thankfully tested negative for heartworms.

Whatever may have happened in his short life so far, Oreo deserves the chance to start fresh—with a patient, loving and committed adopter who can show him that he’s finally home for good. ✨🙌

Oreo has a $25.00 pull fee and needs a commitment by Nov 21st.

Meet Kiki, a 4-month-old pit bull puppy with the sweetest little face and a heart full of love. This baby girl is gentle, affectionate, and just wants to be close to people. ❤️

Unfortunately, Kiki has been diagnosed with ringworm 🩺 and is not currently receiving treatment. She will need a rescue that can provide the proper care and environment to help her heal. Otherwise, she’s a bright, happy, healthy puppy—playful, curious, and full of potential.

At just four months old, Kiki deserves a chance to grow up healthy and loved. Please consider helping her get the care she needs and a safe place to recover. 🙏🏼

If your rescue can take Kiki or you know someone who can, please reach out. Thank you, as always, for helping staff give these deserving dogs a second chance.

Kiki is up to date on DHLPP, BORD, and RABIES. Staff has not temp tested Kiki but do not have any temperament concerns

A pull fee of 15$ is required and Kiki must have a commitment by 11-19-25.

Meet Misty, a sweet 7-week-old gray tabby kitten who’s already stealing hearts with her gentle personality and playful spirit. Misty loves to explore, cuddle, and purr her way into your lap — she just needs a little help right now to get healthy.

Misty has a small spot of hair loss near her mouth. Animal care techs attempted to see it glow under black light, but it did not glow. For this unknown reason for hair loss, and the potential of it being ringworm, we need a rescue to pull her. With basic care and a clean environment, she should recover quickly. Misty deserves the chance to heal in a safe, loving home.

She may have a little healing to do, but Misty is full of love and potential. Please consider giving her a soft place to land and the care she needs to feel her best — she’ll repay you with endless purrs and gratitude.

Misty has a pull fee of 25$ and must have a comittment by 11-17-25

Meet Oreo. This 5-year-old Shih Tzu may be small at just 13 pounds, but she’s overflowing with sweetness. ❤️✨ Oreo came to the shelter after her beloved owner passed away, and now she’s searching for someone new to love her just as much. 😭

She’s a gentle, low-energy, intact female who enjoys quiet moments, soft beds, and kind company. Oreo does have some hair loss, possible flea allergy, but with a little TLC and good nutrition, she’s sure to blossom beautifully again.

Oreo has been through a lot, yet her loving heart hasn’t changed. She’s ready for a calm home where she can feel safe, cherished, and finally at peace.

Oreo is heartworm negative and has been given her Rabies, DHLPP and BORDATELLA vaccines.

Oreo has a pull fee of $25 and needs a commitment by 11-17-25.

❤️ SAFE ❤️ A NC Veterinarian has reached out & offered to take these pups in as her own she will treat them medically in her own practice. Please forward your pledges to another animal in need.

Meet PEANUT, DUKE and DAISY. Sometimes love comes in tiny packages — and this time, there are three of them. Meet the trio of golden-hearted intact Chihuahuas, each around 10+ years old, who’ve spent their lives side by side and are now hoping for a second chance. Each one weighing under 10 pounds.

Their owner is moving and heartbroken to have to say goodbye, but these little ones are taking it all in stride. Despite some hair loss and the need for a bit of dental TLC, they’ve been absolute angels for their medical work-up — wagging their tails, offering gentle kisses, and charming everyone they meet with their sweet and friendly personalities.

They may be seniors, but they still have plenty of love to give and would be thrilled to find a cozy home where they can spend their golden years together curled up in a warm lap. Each one has the calm, grateful heart of a dog who knows the true meaning of companionship — and they’re ready to share that gift with someone new.

These three tiny treasures are sure to fill your home with warmth, gratitude, and unconditional love. Their best days can still be ahead — they just need someone to believe in them.

Surprisingly all three have tested heartworm negative and have received their DHLPP, BORD, and RABIES vaccines. They are intact.

There is a $50 pull fee for all three and they need a commitment by November 7th.

❤️ SAFE ❤️ A NC Veterinarian has reached out & offered to take these pups in as her own she will treat them medically in her own practice. Please forward your pledges to another animal in need.

Meet Juliette Anne, a 7-year-old, 51lb sweetheart who recently found herself at the shelter through no fault of her own. Her owner was incarcerated, leaving no one behind to care for her. Due to the extended amount of time her owner is away, staff is committed to finding Juliette a place to call home.

Juliette Anne is a calm and gentle girl with a soft, soulful presence. She’s understandably a bit scared in the shelter environment but remains easy to handle and appreciates quiet comfort and reassurance. Juliette did great for her medical workup and has received her DHLPP, BORD, and RABIES vaccines; unfortunately, she has tested heartworm positive and will need treatment.

🎥 Temp test videos are in the comments. She is such a good girl! 🐶❤️🐶

Juliette Anne deserves a second chance and a safe place to rest while she begins her journey back to health. Please let staff know if your rescue can step up for this lovely girl.

Julliette Anne has a $25 pull fee and will need a commitment by Nov 7th

Thank you for all you do to help dogs like Juliette Anne find hope and healing.
