Adoptable Dogs and Puppies

Are you looking for a puppy to join your family? My name is Poppy. I'm currently about 10lbs and will likely grow to be around 60lbs. I’m so cute, well socialized, and ready to meet my new family. I currently live with my foster mom, doggy mom, and 9 siblings. I love to play, sleep, eat, potty, and repeat. Working on potty training, but I’m really young, so still learning. Current on vaccines, microchipped, and dewormed with negative fecal test. I was born on April 15th, so just about 8 weeks old. Dad is unknown, but mom is approximately 5-6 years old, around 60lbs, and an AmStaff/Lab/other mix. She spent most of her life on a chain, having babies, but no more. She’s so friendly, only wanting love and attention. She was a great mom, and took care of me. Now that she’s in rescue, she’s going to be an inside dog too, just like me. And definitely, no more babies. I will need an active family, because I’m a puppy, and I’m going to need to get my energy out. Also, I would love to be trained. I’m smart, and am excited to learn new tricks. Most of all, I want a family that will love me, and care for me forever. Could that be you?

Hi everybody. My name is Angel and I am looking for someone really special. I am not your typical dog. I am not going to cuddle you, go on walks, or play with your kids or dog. Not yet. But I want to. I need someone looking to save a dog and be the amazing forever family that I deserve. I am around 5-6 years old, and look like a Beagle mix. I was a feral dog for at least 4 to 5 years, running loose, no one to trust, and having multiple litters of pups. The nice people that lived nearby left out food, but I was too scared to let them near me. A rescue and animal control tried to catch me for a year, but I was way too street smart for that. Finally, when my last litter was a week old, they caught me. I was so very scared, but was not aggressive at all. I didn’t trust humans and I was so very scared. The rescue let me raise my babies in a safe place, then they were vetted and adopted by good families. I was treated for Heart Worms and spayed. My foster mom says, now it’s my turn for a happy ever after. We have been working together for 6 months, and I have made progress. In the beginning, foster mom had to carry me outside to potty. Now, I go out on my own. Foster mom loves me and says I am the easiest foster ever. I sleep on the human bed, I am house trained. I let her know when I need to go out, and when I am ready to come back in. Then back on the bed. I don’t destroy things so I am allowed free reign of the house, but I pretty much just stay on the bed. I have started playing a little with the dogs in my foster home. Mom is so excited watching me come out of my shell! So, what’s the problem? I can be petted, but I am still so nervous, so will back away if you get to close. Leash work is a work in progress. I just freeze, whenever I am put on a leash. I know I can do it, with patience, time, and consistency. Are there any special families out there that would be willing to work with me, love me, and help me? I promise, I am so worth it. Things I need in my new family include a secure fenced yard, stable home, and other cats and dogs (I love cats) to help me feel safe forever. Remember I was a savvy street pup but now I am learning the ropes of what it is like to be a pampered indoor dog and I am loving it! I can't wait to have a family to call my very own!

Oliver is the sweetest and goofiest boy you will ever meet! He will gladly trade you lots of kisses for belly rubs and butt scratches. He will need an experienced home that exercises his mind and keeps him busy. Oliver is very dog friendly and enjoys interacting with new human friends too! Oliver can be boisterous and should be monitored around small children so he doesn’t knock them down. He often plays a bit like a puppy with loose boundaries and may need close supervision with an older or less playful dog. He did undergo TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) surgery in March 2020 (right knee) and March 2021 (left knee) to correct torn cruciate ligaments and he currently participates in rehab weekly. Oliver has a history of chewing/eating things he shouldn’t but does very well in a crate with his favorite bone when left unsupervised. Oliver knows his name, sit, down, wait, and is working on loose-leash walking. Oliver is very food motivated and ready to love his new owner unconditionally! Oliver is being fostered with a different organization and this is a courtesy post for them. If you are interested in Oliver, please email Nicole at nicole@carolinaranchpets.com.

Meet Stelle! Her name means “spot” in German. She’s about 2 years old and full grown at 45lbs. Stelle is an amazing dog in so many ways. She’s house trained, crate trained, wonderful with all people (including kids), and great with other medium or large dogs. You also will not find a better snuggler than Stelle, she’s so affectionate and wants nothing more than to love you and be loved! She has a medium energy level and will hilariously occupy herself with toys, but she would absolutely love a doggy playmate, or active owners who will take her on walks and throw a ball for her. She loves to chase! Her love of chase makes her not a great fit for cats or small dogs. When it’s time to relax, she’s perfectly happy hanging out wherever you are. She’s the very definition of a “Velcro dog” and will be right on your heels wherever you go! For this reason, she won’t be a good fit for someone who isn’t steady on their feet. Stelle is truly an all-around wonderful companion. Her future family is going to be very lucky to have her! Are you interested in adopting Stelle or another JCAPL pet you have seen? You'll need to start by completing an adoption application, available online at our website: www.jcapl.org. There is no obligation to adopt by completing an application, however, we do recommend submitting an application as soon as you find an animal you are interested in.

Meet Jenni! She is a sweet senior pup who doesn’t know she is 65 pounds or 8 years old. She thinks she is a lap dog! Jenni is house and crate trained and easy to work with since she is food motivated. She enjoys playing ball and loves to find hiding places in the yard, house or her crate. She savors treats and toys and wants to ensure she doesn’t have to share! She is learning leash manners and enjoys long walks and lots of praise. She is calm in public and perfect for nail trims and baths, though she may get you a little wet when she shakes off excess water. Jenni will be best in a home as an only dog and no cats. She is good with older kids as she does have a tendency to jump in greeting people in her home. She is also still learning that “counter surfing” will not get her people food. If you are looking for a fun loving companion, then Jenni is your girl! Are you interested in adopting Jenni or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
