Reff's Adoption fee has been Sponsored, in Honor of Hot Diggety Dog and Veya and their Adopters!
Reff is Sponsored by the Town of Beech Mountain, in Memory of Wilson King.
Reff is a handsome male Terrier mix who is still settling in and figuring out his new surroundings. He came to us through no fault of his own — his previous family simply had too many dogs to care for. It’s a big change for him, so he can be a little shy at first, but underneath that uncertainty is a truly loving and gentle companion. Reff has lived indoors with time outside and does a great job letting you know when he needs to go out — he’ll cry to let you know it’s potty time, which makes continuing his routine much easier in a new home. He has experience living with four other female dogs, so he’s familiar with sharing his space with canine friends. Reff has also lived with people of all ages and is described as friendly and playful with children. His previous family shared that one of Reff’s favorite things is simply being petted and loved on. Once he feels comfortable, he really enjoys the attention. He’s also a fan of car rides, which means he’d likely love tagging along for errands or little adventures with his new family. The shelter can be a scary place, but with patience, reassurance, and a loving home, Reff’s sweet personality is sure to shine. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who enjoys affection and would love to be part of your daily life, Reff may be the perfect match for you. Come meet Reff and give this deserving boy the second chance he’s been waiting for.
Maggie's adoption fee has been Sponsored, sending lots of love.
Maggie is Sponsored by Laurie Fleming.
Maggie is a 2-year-old Beagle mix with the softest heart and the gentlest soul. Affectionate, shy, and incredibly loving, Maggie is happiest when she’s close to the people she trusts. Whether she’s snuggled tightly beside you on the couch, riding along on a quiet car trip, or enjoying one of her favorite walks, Maggie’s love shines through in the sweetest ways. Her previous family shared that when they first brought Maggie home, she was nervous and scared, but once she felt safe, she became deeply devoted and full of love. She’s comforted by attention and simply wants to be near her person. Maggie is crate trained and finds peace and security in her black wire crate, especially during thunderstorms, often choosing to curl up there on her own for comfort. Maggie also loves running around the yard and was a star at learning the invisible fence. Food, cozy naps, walks, and quiet time with her favorite person make her happiest. Because Maggie is sensitive and protective of the people she loves, she would do best in a calm, quiet home without a lot of visitors or small children. Strangers can be overwhelming for her, and while she enjoys outings and adventures, she prefers not to be approached or petted by people she doesn’t know. Maggie feels things deeply and can get her feelings hurt easily, so she needs a patient adopter who understands shy dogs and will give her the time and reassurance she deserves. Underneath her timid nature is a dog who loves with her whole heart. Maggie isn’t looking for a perfect home — she’s looking for a safe one, where she can finally relax, feel understood, and spend her days close to the person she loves most.

He is friendly, affectionate, playful, independent, calm, and high-energy, with a protective side as well. He absolutely loves his chew bones and enjoys having something to work on.
