BUDDY His name says it all - A loyal companion and friend. He is looking for a home to share with an individual or couple that would enjoy his laid-back company, heart of gold and sweet, gentle disposition. He is very social with other dogs and is very accepting of even the most challenging of animal friends. As your companion, Buddy will follow you from room to room and sit close enough so you know he is there. If you want him closer, he will lay at, or on, your feet. He loves his saggy neck and tummy rubbed, but draws a line at hugs, where he will stick his paws straight out, as if to say, “I love you, but I am not a hugger.” Buddy would do best in a rather calm home environment where new friends are introduced individually. Though very friendly, he becomes nervous among groups of people or the excitement of children. Buddy will view himself as a protector of the home and family. As a result he is a bit wary of persons new to the home and should be introduced unhurriedly. His soulful eyes tell a story of survival. He has completed his full heart worm treatment without a hitch. Though he still has to take it easy for a few weeks, he loves to run and play. He now knows life will be good! One look at his face will tell you he appreciates another chance at life, a home and happiness. Buddy is housetrained, up to date on shots and is micro chipped. He is approximately 3 -4 years old and weighs about 55 - 60lbs. He will be able to be neutered in a few weeks. If you would like Buddy to become part of your family and want to learn more about him, please call Gail his foster mom at 704-996-9282 or email her at THIS EMAIL ADDRESS |

| LETTERS FROM HAPPY ADOPTERS
" Just a quick note to let everyone know how happy we are with our recent adoption of Curley (now Cooper). Everyone at the Shelter was wonderful to work with and we are truly enjoying our newest family member. Thanks for all the wonderful work each of you do in helping find these beautiful animals forever homes. " " I am writing to let you know that Frosty (now called Lady) whom I adopted from the New Leash on Life program is truly a wonderful dog. Even though she has only been with me since March18th she has truly become a member of the family. She gets along great with my other dog and has fun trying to get the cat to play with her. She is very playful yet readily obeys her commands. She is a joy! I want to thank Tonya and the fellas that trained her. They are doing a wonderful job and have given me a wonderful dog. I am so glad I read about the program and was lucky enough to get one of the dogs. I would encourage everyone to look into adopting the dogs from the program. They are truly well trained and lovable and would make a wonderful companion. "
" We wanted to thank you for making our first
adoption experience a pleasurable one. We are so happy we got to adopt Ritter. He has adapted very well
and brings so much joy to
our little family " Thanks to all of you for all that you do to see to it that the dogs/cats in your care are adopted by loving families, they all deserve more love than they could ever have dreamed of. We love Allie sooooo much!!! " " Macy is adjusting very well. She's such a lovable pet. She is housebroken and has never had an accident in the house. We love her so much. We made a wonderful choice is selecting her. " "We adopted Levi who is now named Socko. He is the perfect addition to the family. He is the smartest puppy. He never goes potty in the house, he already knows how to sit and we are working on his high five. He loves to go outside and roll in the grass and play with twigs. He loves to snuggle on the couch with the kids and in the bed with my husband and myself. He is staying in the crate for now at night and when we are away. But he loves to jump in the car at 3:30 to pick the older kids up from school. As soon as we pull into the school he jumps up on the window and looks for "his boys". He can't wait for them to get in the car so that he can smother them with kisses. He doesn't make a sound. When we tell him to go to his room he goes right in his crate and lays down. I will send pictures very soon. Thank you all for allowing us to add the perfect addition to our family. " "I think it’s just wonderful all you do for the animals and the “New Leash on Life” Program. We were both really impressed by the guys, their love for the dogs and their professionalism in handling them. Thank you so much for everything. We’ll keep you all posted on Dottie" |
