Zeus

Listing Date: May 5, 2024

Birth Date: June 13, 2021

Weight: 65 pounds

Breed: Boxer mix

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Vaccination Status: Has all vaccinations

Physical Description: Brown and white, big in the chest and forepaws.

Personality Description: Zeus is a very social and playful young dog. He is a big puppy, whose button eyes sparkle when he looks up at his people. He needs people who can take him on walks and challenge him with games. His stamina is not the greatest, and I don't believe he would do well with jogging, especially in summer. He's mouthy, and needs both hard and soft toys to mouth and chew. He loves hugs and kisses, and shared adventures. He can spend time relaxing inside, but has separation anxiety if left alone in a room. He will do best with a fenced yard, and has not been destructive when left outside for a couple hours. He's not crate trained, but has been in and out of his crate for treats. Zeus barks and growls at people who come into the house, but soon accepts them. So far we have held him on his leash initially when someone comes over.

History: We knew Zeus before he was surrendered to Animal Control, and he had gone from being and indoor/outdoor pup to being always outdoors, with very little interaction with anyone for two years. When he was surrendered we couldn't stand the thought that he would end his life at the shelter (he was terrified and wouldn't have come across well) so we agreed to adopt him, and took him home a week later. Unfortunately, our hopes exceeded our capabilities, especially since my husband is the one most with him, and has physical disabilities. Also, Zeus reacts to our cats, and since one is an older tripod she is often afraid and mostly hiding under the bed.

Tigre

Listing Date: May 3, 2024

Birth Date: April 3, 2019

Breed: Pit bull mix

Spayed/Neutered: No

Vaccination Status: Yes

Physical Description: Color: BRINDLE , Male

Personality Description: He is a very gentle and loving dog, he always wants to play and will take great care of you.

History: I rescued Tigre from a place where they didn't take good care of him. I'm not sure of his age. The vet said he could have been 4 years old at the time, so now he might be 5 or 6 years old. He was always a loving and gentle dog, he has no problems with other animals since where I rescued him was something like a farm so he is used to all types of animals.

Peanut

Listing Date: April 7, 2024

Birth Date: April 2, 2023

Breed: Cat DSH

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Vaccination Status: UTD

Physical Description: Tuxedo black/white. Looks like she was the "runt" Approx 1 year, 7 lbs, petite

Personality Description: Loving attentions, she will curl up with you on the sofa, follow you like a puppy, flop at your feet, and ask for belly rubs. She has not clawed the furniture as she loves the cardboard mats and tall kitty trees with sisal posts. She loves the TV bird videos and will chatter at the birds . As far as getting along with kids, she probably would love the attention; it is unknown how she would act with dogs – probably ok as long as the dog was not overly aggressive/playful. I would introduce her to other cats with caution as she does appear to want to be the alpha kitty. Please open your heart and home to this sweet little cat and she will repay you with many cuddles.

History: This little girl has had a rough start. She was found in Winston- Salem in a dumpster in January and we brought her inside. She has since been spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated,

Novah

Listing Date: March 28, 2024

Birth Date:

Weight: 40 pounds

Breed: hound mix

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Vaccination Status: Rabies vaccine current

Physical Description: Novah has glossy black fur with delicate white markings. His honey-brown eyes are as sweet as can be.

Personality Description: Novah is a darling boy with a calm and curious demeanor. Although he is bashful in unfamiliar situations, he warms up to new friends with slow and gentle introductions. Let him approach you first … and once he’s comfortable, be prepared for doggie kisses! Novah enjoys the company of young children and other dogs, but he would also be content as your one and only. Novah is house-trained and sleeps through the night without a peep. He is working on crate-training, and he does well when left at home in a gated area. Novah is also happy to go on adventures in the car! Because Novah doesn’t quite get the hype about dog toys, his goofy side comes out when he wants to play. He has big feelings when he gets excited, and he may need occasional redirection for jumpy or mouthy behavior. His silly, awkward antics are sure to make you laugh! He also enjoys exploring new smells on walks, and he has learned to sit when it’s time to put on the leash. Novah is no Olympic athlete, though, so he’s content to lounge at home most of the time. Give him chews, treats, and a soft place to rest, and he’ll be the happiest dog you know.

History: Novah’s owner could no longer care for him after the pet policy at their apartment complex changed.

History: Found him sifting in a garbage can while I was on a walk with my other dog. He was skinny, malnourished, and looked like he'd been injured. After gaining his trust, I put a collar and leash on him and was able to get him in my car, home to a warm bath, food, and love. After taking him to various vets, he had no chip, was about 1 year or younger, and quite healthy considering. Other than that, that's all that I know about his history.

Jagger

Breed: Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Vaccination Status: Up to date

Physical Description: Jagger is a 3 year old tuxedo cat with a tipped ear. He has the longest white whiskers and white paws.

Personality Description: Jagger is the sweetest cat around. He is shy, but loves sending slow blinks from a distance. He loves food and will stay close by while you are cooking or eating. He loves treats, catnip and wand toys, and having his head scratched.

History: Jagger was originally a feral cat, he is now just quite skittish. He unfortunately has some issues urinating outside of his litter box. He is completely healthy, just nervous. I am absolutely devastated but I just can't provide the support he needs. I want to make sure he finds a home that loves him half as much as I do.

Gilly

Listing Date: March 3, 2024

Birth Date: January 1, 2018

Weight: 14 pounds

Breed: orange domestic short hair tabby

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Vaccination Status: current as of Feb. 2024

Physical Description: Gilly is a neutered, 5 year old, orange domestic short-haired tabby. He weighs about 14 lbs. He's more muscle than fat.

Personality Description: Just call me chilly Gilly. I’m generally a laid-back dude. My priorities in order are sleep, food, a bit of play time, and the occasional pet. While I’m not an attention seeker, I usually don’t like being alone and will hang out in the same area as my peeps. I'm usually curious and will check out strangers and I’m happy for you to rub my cheek and forehead, but I won’t pester you to get on your lap or insist on getting attention. If you go outside, I’ll keep you company and monitor the work you’re doing in the yard. For now, my temporary caregivers are keeping me indoors. I seem to be OK with it, but I do have the ability to go out on the screened porch and get fresh air. While I’m chill with animals of the adult human kind, I’m not so sure about the young ‘uns. I prefer quiet and solitude. As for other cats, all I can say is I’m not happy (hiss) with the tuxedo stray that’s been hanging out on the front porch. Finally, I take an interest in dogs when they walk by but couldn’t tell you whether I get along with one. Sometimes my current caregivers say I’m an alien in a cat suit because I don’t do things that I’m “supposed” to do as a cat. For example, I’m not a heat seeking kitty. You won’t find me in a sunbeam or trying to get on your lap to get warm. Also, hanging out in boxes, hiding under covers, and knocking items off tables aren’t my thing. I insist that I’m a cat and can prove it. I don’t come when you call. I like to bat at tossed paper balls and chase my favorite fluffy wand toy. Most importantly, I go to the bathroom in that square plastic bin with the ucky grit!

History: My shelter paperwork says I was born in 2018 making me about five years old. Plenty of good years left in me. I don’t remember anything about my first owner. My second owner had me for a year and then decided they didn’t want me anymore and took me to a shelter in November 2022. I’m not sure what I did to deserve that. Life at the shelter was a bit lonely as I was in a cage most of the time. Then in April 2023 Helen came and gave me a loving home. Unfortunately, she became very ill and I’ve been staying with temporary caregivers. Although Helen’s better now, taking care of my litter and making sure I can get to the vet when needed is a bit too much for her. So my caretakers are trying to find me a forever home. Healthwise, I recently had updated vaccine shots and a check-up. Now that I’m five years old and no one took good care of my teeth, they could use a cleaning. At some point in my early years, my back leg was hurt so I don’t jump on counters or tables that are too high. I will jump on a couch or bed, but usually prefer to lie on the floor. Despite the leg issue, I still do great zoomies around the room.
