Todd has done very well with his foster siblings, especially nosy, busy young Evie. Here, Todd takes a bonk on the head with a yawn 😊

In the latest installment of “Adventures with Todd” we see that Todd is doing very well with his foster fur-siblings, and is especially patient with nosy, busy pup Evie. Here Todd takes a bonk on the head with a yawn 😊

Todd has been such a good boy today - helping in the yard, learning a new trick, testing out all the good napping spots and zero accidents in the house. He deserved a special puppy ice cream treat. 🍦 Looks like he is doing well in a crate too!

Todd is learning commands! Who says you cannot teach an old dog new tricks? Todd’s foster mom tells us that he is catching on quickly and is very eager to learn. We think he looks very snappy in his bow tie.

***ADOPTED*** New available pup alert! Meet Kirby! Kirby is a super sweet 1 1/2 year old Lab mix. Kirby is a bit shy in the kennels, but once she’s outside she really starts to shine. She LOVES being outside in the yard, playing with toys, and getting behind-the-ear scratches. She enjoys running, spinning, wagging and just enjoying life. Kirby is looking for an active family with older children who will include her in their life’s adventures. As we said, she is shy at first, so we are looking for an adopter that will give her the time to feel confident in her new space. Once she feels comfortable, she is a brand new pup. If you enjoy the outdoors, if you are looking for an active young pup to be your lifetime sidekick, and you can give Kirby the time and understanding she needs to feel secure, Kirby may be your girl! Please call 910-937-1164-to schedule an appointment.

It’s a little lonely for our boy Toby on adoption row. Toby is our only available pup today! Of course Toby is getting lots of love from staff, but we know he would be much happier to have a home and family of his own. Toby is a 5 year old Hound and he is full of love and joy for life. Toby is a happy-go-lucky pup who loves to be outside. He would love a home with a big fenced yard (hounds do love space to follow their noses, and he would do well in a home other dogs. Toby has tested positive for heartworms, so he will need a special family who is able to commit to his treatment, but heartworms are treatable and With a healthy heart, Toby has many years of love and adventure ahead of him. If you are interested in opening your heart and home to this special boy, please call 910-937-1164 to schedule an appointment.

Here’s a fun video! Here are our empty adoptable cat condos (we do have a separate intake room for cats who are not yet available), after we adopted out all available animals for last week. As we have said, things are always changing here at OCAS and we have some cats who will be getting surgery today and will be made available for adoption tomorrow (you can see we’ve already set up some condos to welcome them to the adoption room), as well as some newly adoptable dogs. It is such a rarity to have an empty condo room that we thought we would take a quick video. 😊 If you are interested in adopting, please keep an eye on our website for newly available animals. It is updated in real time. To schedule an appointment for a meet and greet, please call 910-937-1164.

Meet our little hound boy Tucker! Tucker is about 5 years old, likes to play outside, and is great at giving hound hugs. Tucker got a spa day today - a bath, pedicure and he was very excited for some extra playtime. He even got a peanut butter Kong. It can be difficult for dogs that have been with us for a while, so we do all we can to give them a little extra special TLC. Tucker has been at OCAS since May and he’s a bit sad that everyone passes him by. We don’t know Tucker’s past, but he’s a gentle, silly, happy boy who is learning how to play with toys (he hasn’t quite got it down yet). Tucker has tested heartworm positive so he needs a special family that will help him get a healthy heart (treatment cost is sponsored by Friends of Animal Services). We know that given the opportunity, Tucker will be a wonderful companion. We hope that someone will give this sweet boy a chance.
