Meet Carrie

Coming to us as a stray, sweet Carrie is ready to leave that life behind her for that of a beloved family member, loved and safe FOREVER! We don't know about her life before a kind stranger brought her to us, after she followed him home when their son was out walking their own dogs! Carrie stayed with them as they searched for her owner and with no luck, they brought her to us. They let us know that in the short time with them, she had NO accidents in the home and was even crate trained! She did great with their other dogs and was a sweet girl! She was neither chipped nor had a collar with an ID tag to contact a family if she had one and none ever came to reclaim her. Since she has been with us, she met a neutered male who is similar to her in size and she did great! She approached him with seemingly lots of interest, fast tail wags and they sniffed one another all over! Then, this sweet girl just sniffed the grass while bouncing around like Pooh's Tigger. She loves food and she loves it so much, she can't control her excitement when taking her treats... so gentle treat taker does not describe her, yet! We always recommend meet and greets with other dogs and children prior to adoption to ensure a great fit for all. We don't know how she does with cats and have no way to test for that. All of our adoptable dogs/puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and UTD on all age-appropriate vaccines/preventatives. Adopters will need to establish vet care upon adopting to maintain their new family member’s health and wellness. And remember the 3-3-3 Rule when adopting a shelter pet. 3 days for your new pet to decompress3 weeks for your new family member to settle in3 months for them to build trustCarrie’s adoption fee is WAIVED! Please make sure you are able to give forever, before you commit! It is very stressful when dogs/puppies have to be returned to the shelter for any reason, so please make sure there are NO barriers to keep your pet forever once you adopt! Please bring a collar and leash OR purchase a combo from us for only $15 to safely take your new family member home. We are a first come, first served and in-person adoption center and are located at 430 Bristol Drive in Statesville, NC. We are open for adoptions Monday-Friday 12-5pm and Saturdays 11am-2pm.
