Thank you for stopping by to see the dogs ready for adoption.

Boomer

Sweet Boomer came to us as a small, unhealthy puppy. He's now 4 months old, potty and crate trained, and ready for some lucky family. He loves playing with other dogs. He loves all people, but is still figuring out his puppy teeth, so older kids would be best.

Referral Dogs (not in our program)

We provide listings for referral dogs and other North Carolina dog rescue organizations as a service to the community, but we do not screen dogs to determine their suitability for adoption. We make no representations regarding the accuracy of the information provided by the owners, fosters, and rescues, and we assume no responsibility for the condition or behavior of the dogs.

My name is Marty! I am a bloodhound boy that LOVES to play with other pups or be loved by my humans! I am a big boy that can be a little goofy, so I would do best in a home with older kids and no small dogs or cats. A fenced in yard is a must, as is experience with a large breed dog. Marty will need a home where he can get regular exercise and plenty of social interaction.

Marty is two years old, a bloodhound mix weighing 77 pounds. He is being cared for by RescueConnectNC.

You can learn more about Marty on his Adopt a Pet webpage!
