Meet the Friend’s litter! 💓🐾

*Meet & greet will be 8/24 starting at 4pm*

Meetings will be by appointment only and 30min long. Pre-approved adopters only. They will be held at our office location. We will take 5 names for appointments and 3 for the wait list. We will accept names to meet the litter of puppies, not as individuals. The puppies will be claimed on a first come, first serve basis. The first appointment will pick which puppy they would like to adopt, the second appointment will decide between the remaining 4, and so on. It will be determined by the order in which you messaged us to meet the puppies. We go based on the time stamp and try to keep this process as fair as possible to everyone. We can answer any medical questions or adoption questions you have during the appointment.

DOB 6/11/25

These puppies are Husky/Australian shepherd mixes which means they are high energy breeds that need a LOT of effort and dedication to stay active! While they are cute, fluffy puppies, please only apply if you have breed experience and are willing to put in the time they deserve to become loving, happy adult dogs!! 🐕

Chandler (M): major chonk alert 🚨 this guy LOVES to sploot & talk back 😆 the only male of the litter but arguably the most diva!!

Joey “Josie” (F): a sweet, s***ky girl who LOVES attention and brightens up every room. She is fearless with the exception of walking down stairs. This little lady loves tennis balls and chew toys most of all!

Phoebe (F): half mermaid, half snuggle bug. the chunkier and calmer of the girls, Phoebe is also a high energy but can appreciate a good snuggle and nap. She is OBSESSED with water and our puppy pool and will try to stuff herself in the water bowl.

Monica (F): Equal parts sassy & sweet. The bluest eyes of the litter and she knows it 💅🏼 also a major water bug 💦

Rachel (F): loves to play hard and snuggle harder. She’s mastering potty training (when kept on a schedule), sleeps all night in her crate next to you, and keeps her doggy friends on their toes!

🚨 Meet Gaines: Certified Hunk of Love 🚨

The only thing bigger than Gaines’s chest is his HEART (seriously… it’s like a barrel with legs). ❤️💪

This 2–3 year old Bully/Pit mix has officially upgraded from “426 days of shelter chaos” ➡️ “professional cuddle monster.” Gaines is the total package: potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, quiet, kid & dog friendly, AND treat motivated (basically the golden retriever of Pit mixes).

He does have one quirk: We lovingly call him a bumper car. He plays hard, loves harder, and might accidentally knock you over with his enthusiasm. Think “Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil”… but snuggly. 🌀🐾

His favorite hobbies include:
🐕 Morning walks
😴 Long naps
🤗 Snuggling (warning: comes with 10 minutes of enthusiastic kisses first)

Bonus perk: He’s crate trained so well that you might forget he’s even there… until he zooms out like the world’s happiest linebacker. 🏈✨

Gaines is ready for his forever family to laugh at his goofiness, admire his scars, and love him endlessly. 💜

Who’s ready for 60 pounds of love (and maybe a few playful collisions)?

Piper
German Shepherd
1 year old
55lbs
Female- Spay date 8/28

Piper will charm you instantly with her sweet personality.

Piper can start off a little shy, but warms up quickly. She loves to give soft kisses and finds comfort in being close to you. She has done well with the dogs shes met, as well as kids of all ages, and cats.

This sweet girl loves ear scratches, running outside, and just being close to you. She's still learning how big she is, and can be a little clumsy on stairs.

She is crate and potty trained. She does well in the car. She needs some work with walking on a leash, but she's a quick learner. She is a well-mannered goofy girl and would make a great addition to any family.

If you're interested in Piper, please apply or message the rescue if you are pre-approved.

🌟 Meet Nala 2!🌟

Don’t let the “7 years old” fool you, this gal didn’t get the memo about slowing down! Nala is a curious, peanut-butter-loving, squirrel-watching, yard-exploring queen who still has plenty of zoomies left in her paws. 🐾✨

She’s super smart (probably smarter than most of us), has great recall, and keeps her crate squeaky clean.

Potty trained? ✅
Knows her commands? ✅
Ready to love you forever? ✅✅

Nala enjoys playing with other dogs, but also appreciates her solo time. Think of her as the perfect mix of social butterfly and independent queen. 👑

Her favorite things include:
🌳 Exploring every blade of grass in the yard
🥜 Peanut butter Kongs (seriously, she’s a fan)
🐿️ Keeping the squirrels in check
😴 Couch snuggles and naps with her person

Nala may be an “adult,” but she’s full of s***k, love, and adventure. If you’re looking for the total package: smart, silly, sweet, and potty trained- Nala 2 is your girl! 💜

Name: Opal
Breed: Labrador Retriever mix
Age: 4 months
Weight: 28 pounds
Gender: Female ( spay date 8/28

Opal is a beautiful 4 month old Labrador Retreiver mix with a heart as shiny as her name. Opal started on the streets of Texas, but was lucky enough to get her freedom ride to Buffalo where she has found a serious love for Timbits and adores browsing the aisles or Hobby Lobby and getting all the attention. This sweet girl is 👶 and 🐕 friendly making her the perfect addition to a family looking for a playful and loving companion.

Opal is already showing her smarts—she’s house trained when kept on a schedule, 💤 through the night without a peep, and is a fantastic 🚗 companion. She adores the 💧 and can’t resist a good splash. But her absolute favorite pastime? Playing fetch with the tennis ball. She’ll happily chase it when you throw it, or entertain herself by tossing and pouncing on it like a pro.

When playtime is over, Opal is all about snuggles and affection. She’s loving, loyal, and ready to become your best friend for life.

If you’re looking for a sweet, active, and loyal pup who will keep you smiling and your heart full, Opal is ready to make your family complete. 💛

If you are interested in Opal, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved.

Meet Sam 🐾

12 pounds of fluff, sass, and “excuse me sir, WHO are you walking past my house?!” energy. 👀🐶

This 3-year-old Chihuahua mix came to us as a local surrender, and now he’s on the hunt for his forever human. He’s basically a Velcro dog; He just wants to be wherever you are!🥹 He’s cool with cats, dogs, and probably anyone who compliments his very soft fur.

Sam is crate-trained (but only if the crate is near his favorite human), house-trained, walks well on a leash, and will happily let you know that yes, indeed, strangers exist. 🚨🐕

If you work from home, binge-watch Netflix, or just need a small, fuzzy shadow to follow you around, Sam might be your guy. Bonus: you’ll never go to the bathroom alone again. 🫶

Adopt Sam, the 12-lb security guard you never knew you needed. 💼✨

Another sneak peek at the 20 lucky pups who were saved from euthanasia yesterday! 💜

North Carolina is still reeling from the recent hurricanes, leaving so many pets misplaced and abandoned. These sweethearts are the lucky ones, but there are still so many waiting for a second chance.

We couldn’t do this without our incredible fosters, volunteers, and supporters who make rescue miracles happen every single day. THANK YOU for helping us save lives! 🐶💖

**We will not be accepting any names for dogs until their bios are posted on Facebook and the website. Please do not message/comment asking about dogs seen in preview posts. More info will be included in their bios if they are not adopted by their fosters.**

While we would love to answer everyone’s questions, we get flooded with people asking for more information and can’t keep up. We are asking for some patience and promise more information on name, age, gender, breed, and personality will be included in their bio once they are listed. All dogs are on a 10 day hold. Bios will be posted throughout the week as their fosters get to know them better.
