Meet Michaela

Showing up on her finder’s porch then taking a nap until Animal Control Officer can respond to the call, this sweet girl is ready to sleep on her own porch from now on! Meet Michaela! With no chip and no ID tag, there was no way to contact her family if she had one and now she is on the search for one! Since she has been with us, she met Tucker- a neutered canine friend who is her same size and was a little fearful before the meeting… but as soon as she saw him, she opened right up! Michaela walked right over to him with loose wagging tail and started to wiggle her whole body! She was so excited to play and starting zooming like she couldn’t control it! This super sweet and derpy girl is beyond precious! Please come and meet this adorable sleeping beauty in person here at the shelter to see if she is meant to spend forever with your family! We are a first come, first served and in person adoption center. We always recommend meet and greets not only with other dogs, but also with children prior to adoption to ensure a great fit for all, also! 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. If you can’t promise forever, please consider waiting until you can, before you adopt- making sure no housing or other barriers stand in your way, when you commit! 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 trustMichaela’s adoption fee is $80 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 located at 430 Bristol Drive in Statesville, NC. We are open for adoptions Monday-Friday 12-5pm and Saturdays 11am-2pm.
