Kane's Adoption fee has been Sponsored, in Honor of Hot Diggety Dog and Veya and their Adopters!
Kane is Sponsored by Laurie Fleming, in Memory of Albert G. Thompson, DVM.
Kane is a handsome Border Collie mix with a sensitive soul and a heart full of love just waiting for the right person to unlock it. This sweet boy can be timid with strangers and new places. In fact, after he was adopted once before, he got spooked and ended up on his own for nearly a month. But here’s what that tells us about Kane: he needs patience, understanding, and a home that will help him feel safe and secure. Once Kane knows he’s safe, his true personality shines. He absolutely adores attention — especially belly rubs — and he’ll happily repay you with a shower of sweet kisses. His tail wags a little harder, his eyes soften, and you can practically see the trust growing day by day. Kane loves to stretch his legs, running and playing in our fenced area with pure joy. Walks are one of his favorite things, and he lights up when it’s time for playdates. He enjoys meeting new dogs and truly thrives when he has a canine buddy to romp around with. Underneath his cautious exterior is an energetic, affectionate, and deeply loyal companion. Kane isn’t looking for just any home — he’s looking for his person. Someone who understands that the best relationships are built on patience and trust. If you’re willing to give him the time he needs, Kane will give you something truly special in return: unwavering love, playful adventures, and a bond that only comes from helping a shy heart feel safe again. Could you be the fresh start Kane has been waiting for?
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.

He is neutered, up to date on his shots, and ready to go home. He has lived with cats and other dogs, so he may fit right into a multi-pet home. Meatball is also friendly and playful with children, making him a fun companion for a family looking for a happy, loving pup. All Meatball needs now is someone willing to give him the fresh start he deserves. Could you be the one to show him what home really feels like?

She absolutely loves attention and lights up when staff come to visit her, greeting everyone with excitement and joy. She’s easy to walk on a leash and would make a wonderful companion for walks, adventures, or cozy time together. After spending so much time caring for others, Flower is ready to bloom in a home where she can be the one receiving all the love. Could Flower be your perfect match?

Gizmo is Sponsored by Allyson McFalls.
This 9-month-old Beagle mix is full of puppy charm and ready to find a home that won’t let him go. Gizmo came to us through no fault of his own—his previous landlord said he couldn’t stay—but we know his forever family is out there. Gizmo is everything you’d hope for in a young pup: playful, loving, and incredibly friendly. He’ll be right there to greet you at the door with happy tail wags and plenty of kisses after a long day. He adores people, does great with children, and has lived happily with another dog. He’s still learning his house manners and isn’t fully house trained yet, but he does try to let you know when he needs to go out by scratching at the door. With consistency and patience, he’ll catch on in no time. When it’s time to relax, Gizmo settles nicely—he’s calm on car rides and would be thrilled to curl up next to you at night (he loves sleeping with his person!). If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and playful companion who just wants to be by your side, Gizmo is your guy. Give this lovable pup the second chance he deserves—you’ll gain a loyal friend for life.

Carly has been Sponsored, sending lots of love.
Carly is a 2-year-old Beagle mix with the softest heart and the gentlest soul. Affectionate, shy, and incredibly loving, Carly 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, Carly’s love shines through in the sweetest ways. Her previous family shared that when they first brought Carly 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. Carly 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. Carly 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 Carly 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. Carly 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. Carly 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.
