Patricia found a loving foster home where she can wait until she finds her forever people. This girl is such a gem. Her foster has the following lovely things to say about her:
"We absolutely love her and think she deserves the world! She’s been great with my dogs and 4 yr old. Only took a few hours for her to properly settle in. She eats well but doesn’t appear to be food possessive and is very gentle in accepting treats. Chicken treats are her favorite. Even though she has OA, she walks with s***k! She enjoys going outside and following us around the house. She also enjoys snoring while I work!"

Gator just wants to be loved, petted, snuggled, and completely spoiled. This sweet boy has never met a person or an adventure he didn't like, and he is absolutely desperate to get out of his kennel and into a home where he can finally decompress. While he has done well around some dogs in the past, he will need slow, proper introductions to any resident pups in a new home to ensure a smooth transition. Because of his wonderfully exuberant personality, his energy may be just a little bit too much for cats or small children, so he may do best in a home where he can be the star of the show or with older kids who can handle his enthusiastic love and respect his boundaries when needed. Like a lot of young dogs, Gator has a ton of energy and can sometimes become destructive inside the home if he gets bored. Because the shelter environment is stressful for him, he is looking for a patient foster hero or a permanent adopter who is willing to give him plenty of daily exercise and the proper channels to redirect that wonderful, youthful energy. The great news is that Gator seems incredibly eager to learn and truly aims to please his people, so we know he will learn all the ropes in no time with some positive reinforcement and good training. If you have room in your heart and your home to save this sweet, stressed boy, please consider opening your doors to foster or adopt him today!

Looking for a loyal adventure buddy who is always down for pets, outdoor fun, and a game of fetch? Meet Arnold, a handsome, 5-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever currently looking for his forever home at Orange County Animal Services in Chapel Hill, NC! Arnold came to us as a transfer from another shelter and has quickly stolen everyone's hearts. He has never met a stranger and is an incredibly sweet, affectionate boy who handles new situations and car rides with total ease. Because he is an energetic guy—and sometimes adorably hyper!—he would thrive best with an active family that loves to walk and explore the great outdoors to help him channel that wonderful energy. Arnold boasts an incredibly impressive resume for a rescue pup. His former foster noted that he's already potty trained and crate trained, though we always ask that adopters expect a normal adjustment and training period in a brand new environment. He is fantastic at sharing his toys, loves a game of fetch, and has previously done well around both cats and other dogs. If you have resident pets, our team is happy to provide detailed recommendations for slow, monitored introductions to ensure everyone gets along safely. Don't let his health notes scare you away, either. Arnold has tested positive for heartworms, which is unfortunately common but highly treatable. The dedicated team at the shelter will gladly walk you through his current treatment plan and discuss how we support his care if you are interested in making him a part of your family.
