Spunky
Seniors are such special fosters and Mr. Spunky is no exception. Poor ol' fella found himself picked up as a stray and in the shelter in Charlotte with an infected tooth and not much hope of finding a home there. Happily for him (and us), fairy magic was in the air and a wonderful volunteer pulled him from the shelter and took him into her home as a foster. His "spunk" has returned now that he has had some dental issues addressed, and he is ready to follow his person around just to be with them.

Spunky is housebroken, crate-trained, good with cats, walks well on leash for short distances, although he may believe leash is optional. At times he needs to be redirected with certain dogs, reminding him he isn't dominant. He does have some hearing loss, but his love of following you around the house will help to make sure he is close. Scritches behind his ears, a big soft doggy bed, and he is good to go! If you have a soft spot for seniors and would like to have your own special shadow, contact us for more details on Spunky.

Sky
This little sable scamp is almost four year old Sky, who came into rescue with her "sister", Angel (see below). Busy, curious, and loving, Sky will climb her way into your lap (and heart) effortlessly. She is good with other dogs, spayed, current on all vet work and preventative. She is crate-trained, but does need some work on polishing her house-training manners. She is also a chewer and needs to be provided with appropriate items to pursue that activity. Sky enjoys a good run, so a fenced yard would be needed for her.

Angel
Angel's name belies her impish, mischievous nature. This doodlebug of a corgi girl, who came into rescue with her "sister", Sky (see above), loves to run! She can wrestle with the best of 'em, is extremely curious and busy. She is learning to make time for laps and snuggles. Strides are being made in her house- and crate-training, and continued work will need to be made in that area. Angel will be four years old in July; is spayed and current on her vet work.

GP (Geep) is Jasmine's (see above) 4 to 5 year old son. This handsome red-headed tri boy is an outgoing fellow and enjoys everyone's company. He defers to Dam Jasmine, but likes to express his own opinions as often as possible.

Tom was able to have a happy and safe Thanksgiving 2011 after he was pulled from the Charlotte-Mecklenberg Shelter by one of our volunteers. Estimated to be around three years of age, Tom is an energetic fellow that also likes the cuddle and snuggle moments. He can be a bit unsure about new things initially, but rebounds, taking things in corgi stride.

Roo and his sister Lucye came into rescue due to the failing health of their owner. A bouncy, energetic boy, he certainly lives up to his name. He can be independent, pushy, and tests limits compensating for a sometimes under-confident nature. He also still has a tendency to nip at the back of legs, a behavior we are continually working to correct. Obedience classes and consistent structure will aid in helping reach his full potential; agility and perhaps even some herding could also help direct and focus his energy and mind.

Roo celebrated his fourth birthday in February 2012. He is house and crate trained, neutered, current on vaccinations and heart worm preventative. He is good with other dogs. Due to his energy levels he will be a better match for homes with older children.

Rex
Eight year old Rex's owner was a casualty of the current economic times. Due to being unable financially to care for him in the manner she felt was needed and he deserved, she made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to our rescue program. She had updated him with an annual veterinary physical, but he was still suffering from severe dermatitis from an allergy to fleas. As his smiling face shows, that problem has been resolved; his coat has come back in and we are even celebrating a bit of tufting.

Rex is a sweet affectionate boy that enjoys snuggling on the couch and is always happy to chase tennis balls. He can be good with other dogs and once had an Australian Cattle Dog pal. He is neutered, current on vaccinations and heart worm preventative, house and crate trained.

Shorty
Retro-styled boy Shorty just turned three in January 2012. His former owner was in the midst of moving and had left Shorty temporarily with her mother. As is more often than not the case with limit laws, animal control visited the mother, threatened action for being over the pet limit, leaving the owner in the position of having her dog taken to the kill shelter or turning him over to rescue.

Shorty is a sweet fellow that is in need of lots of time, attention, patience and training. He works hard at pleasing but is hindered by a short attention span. He tries very hard. Shorty is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and heartworm preventative, crate- and house-trained. Although he loves everyone and can be good with other dogs, his exuberance may be overwhelming to small children.
