ALL DOGS ON THIS PAGE ARE ARE READY FOR ADOPTION WITH A MODERATE ADOPTION FEE TO COVER EXPENSES (average of $350, sometimes higher, sometimes lower). Contact Heidi for more information. We sometimes have more that aren't listed here, so if you are looking for something specific let us know.

DOGS FOR SALE AND STARTED DOGS CAN BE SEEN ON OUR DOGS FOR SALE PAGE AND NEW PUPS CAN BE SEEN ON OUR GWP LITTER PAGE and our GSD LITTER PAGE.

Some people see these adoption fees as high, when actually it is a deal. These dogs come to you fully vetted. The cost of adopting a rescue is far less than buying a puppy and then raising it to one year old. Keep in mind that the majority of these dogs are already housebroken or, at the very least, crate trained.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Rescuing dogs is something we love to do, but we can't continue without help. We are in need of donations of time, money and/or supplies. Here are a few ways you can help:

1. Donate either money or supplies (ie...dog food, blankets, cleaning supplies, etc...)

2. Donate your time. We need people to help care for, socialize, groom, and train these dogs.

3. Foster a dog. These dogs need lots of TLC and one on one time with people. Contact us for a foster application if you are interested.

4. Adopt a dog! They are in need of loving forever homes. If you can open your heart to a rescue, they will give back 2 fold.

For more info on how you can help, call us at 704-843-0944 or email us.

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY. Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today. -AUTHOR UNKNOWN

Won't you let one of these animals rescue you?

"CAPTAIN" is a sweet boy. He came to us wild as a buck and completely untrained, but he now has pretty good manners, walks well on the leash, and knows a few basic obedience commands. He is crate trained and seems to be doing well with housebreaking. Captain is very people friendly, but not good around cats or small dogs. He seems to do quite well with large breed females, but we haven't tried him with males. Captain loves long walks and playing fetch. He is neutered, current on vaccines, and ready for his new home. We are taking applications now if you are interested in adopting Captain. If you feel you would be the right home for him, please contact us for an application. Adoption fee $350.

"Jake" has not been with us long, so we are still evaluating him. What we know so far is that he is high energy, but willing to please. This poor boy was an owner give up, who is just starving for attention. His previous owner did not train him, so he will need some obedience training, but we are working on this. He is now crate trained and working on his housebreaking. He was left in a kennel outdoors, with no attention and his owner gave him up because he barked! Wouldn't you bark too if you were left alone all the time. Jake is just begging for a chance to be someone's best friend. He couldn't be any sweeter. If you are interested in adopting Jake, please contact us for more info and an application. Adoption fee $300.

"RAIN" is very sweet, but dominant. She hasn't had much, if any, training, so is having a quick debriefing on rules here. Rain wants to please and will make someone a nice pet and possibly even a good hunting dog. She has high prey drive, but we have not checked her for gun shyness yet. She appears to be housebroken and gets along well with the other male GWP she goes out with during the day, but does not like cats or other small animals. She will need a strong pack leader that can bring out her true potential. If you feel you would be a good home for Rain, please contact us for an application. Adoption fee $300. *Update: Since Rain has been here she has developed a passion for balls. She is obsessed with her ball and would do anything for it. We feel she is an excellent candidate for Search and Rescue or any other job requiring high ball/prey drive.
