Mr. Bones
Mr. Bones is a 7 year old, neutered male, Treeing Walker Coonhound. When we got him, he looked like a bag of bones ...so he was named Mr. Bones. He has recuperated and is now a healthy weight and quite a handsome dog. Mr. Bones has been waiting for a home for a very long time and he's beginning to doubt if he'll ever have his own human to love. It makes him so sad that sometimes Mr. Bones howls the lonely dog's blues ...but usually he keeps a positive outlook. He takes ear rubs from anyone willing to give them, and he always greets people with a wagging tail and an eager smile. Mr. Bones is leash trained, gets along well with others and would make someone a loving companion. He is an active dog and would love a fenced yard to run in and a human (or a whole family) to play with. foster mothers number. 704 - 462-2349.


Janna
A lovely young tabby girl
who
 is spayed and up to date on all of her shots.
Her remarkable eyes say it all.


Ophrah

Ophrah a Husky mix was born in 6/06. She is a good girl who gets along well with others
and would love to have a forever home.


Louise

They call me "Long Legs Louise" because I have such long legs on my little body. I am a wirehair terrier mix born in October of 2006. Don't I have a pretty red coat? I was not well socialized as a puppy, and as a result I am rather timid now. I need an owner who can be patient and work at building up my confidence. I am good with other dogs and children. My coat is wiry but short and will not need professional grooming.
