D23177 Hey,
look at me! My name is Coral and I’m a 5-year-old spayed female
Pomeranian. I came in with Mufasa, my brother. I’m the sweetest,
most loving little girl. I love to be around people and would
love to go to a family that will treat me like a princess.
|

D23178 Hello,
I’m Mufasa! I’m a 6-year-old male Pomeranian. I came in with my
sister, Coral. I’m a little shy and should be in a home with no
small children. I would really love a home that is quiet where I
can relax and enjoy life. |
|

D22889 Hey there, look at me! I’m Yeyo, a 3-year-old
neutered male Mastiff mix. I was brought in by my owner not for
anything that was my fault. I’m a big lovable guy. I’m good with
other dogs and kids, and I’m housetrained. I’m a great guy and
deserve a loving family. |

D23095 Hey, look at me! My name is Teddy and I’m a 2-year-old male
Wire-haired Terrier mix. I’m a nervous little boy. I came in as
a stray and I need a home with someone where I can sit back and
enjoy life. I am sweet once you know and trust. |
|

D23142 Hey, they call me Zero! I’m a 1-year-old neutered
male German Shepherd. I’m very young and playful and I need a
Shepherd-loving owner to give me lots of exercise and training.
My way of saying hello is to jump on you! I’m not being mean but
that may scared some people. Please come for me! |

D22873 Hello, I’m called King and I’m a 3-year-old male Pit
Bull. I was taken out of a home because I wasn’t being cared
for. I came in with Princess. I’m a good boy and I love to go
for walks and play, but I also know how to relax! |
|

D22875 Hi, please look at me! I’m Princess and I’m a
5-year-old female Pit Bull. I came in with 2 other dogs – King
who is still here and another dog who was adopted. We were taken
from a bad situation and now are looking for someone to give us
a loving second chance. |

D23078 Psst, over here! They call me Roman and I’m a
2-year-old male Pit Bull mix. I’m a young guy, looking for a
nice family. Pits are very loving and loyal dogs, and make
great family pets. Please give us all a chance! |

Bull. I am an active girl and I need a family that can exercise
me a lot and give me lots of things to do! |

D23042 Hi, they call me Sissy and I’m a 2-year-old female Pit
Bull. I’m a beautiful young girl who only has one wish – for a
new warm home with a nice loving family. Please consider
adopting. There are too many of us and not enough homes. |
|

D23013 Hey there, they call me Precious! I’m a 3-year-old
female Pit Bull. I got my name because I’m such a sweet, loving
girl. I love to go for walks and meet new people. I’m a happy
girl with just one wish – a nice, new family. |

D23094 Hello, I’m Diamond! I’m a 3-year-old female Pit Bull.
I came in as a stray, very thin and as you can see, I had so
many puppies. Now it’s my turn for happiness instead of working
on raising pups! All I ask is for a nice family, warm bed and
tasty food. Oh, and love too! |
|

D23130 Hey, they call me Bubba! I’m a 10-month-old male Pit Bull. I’m a

would love an active family to give me lots of time and
exercise. |

D23061 Hello, they call me Atlas and I’m a 4-year-old male
Pit Bull. I’m a gorgeous guy, well-behaved and such a big lover!

great, loving home! |

walks, I enjoy just having a good time. Please come in and see
me! |

D23147 Hello, I’m Tucker! I’m a 3-year-old neutered male Pit
Bull. I came in as a stray, then I was adopted and brought back
because I have some separation anxiety. I would love a home with
people who can either give me lots of exercise when they’re home
or maybe a family that works different shifts so someone can be
with me. Separation anxiety is common with shelter pets. We’re
been through so much and just need time to adjust to a new
home. |
|

D23040 Hello, they call me F. Harris! I’m a 3-year-old male Pit Bull
mix. I have this silly cone on my head due to surgery but I am
recovering now! I came in as a stray. I’m very sweet and have
lots of energy. I need an active family! I am very much a puppy
and just want to enjoy life and have a good time. |

D23182 Hello, they call me Dexter! I’m a 2-year-old male
Shepherd mix. I’m young yet I’m very well-behaved. I would do
great with any family. I was a stray and can’t think of anything
I would love more than a loving family. |
|

D23072 Hello, they call me Christian and I’m a 3-year-old

family that will give me lots of playtime and exercise. |

and be a part of of nice family! |
|

D23024 Psst, over here! I’m Mason, a 3-year-old male Pit
Bull. When you look at me, you might see just another one of
those Pits. Well believe me, I’m not. I am a big boy but I am so
loving and sweet. We all have our own personalities and are
individuals. Please look at us that way and don’t stereotype! |

D22932 Hello, my name is Prancer and I’m a 2-year-old female
Pit Bull. I have been here for a while (since before Christmas,
hence my name!). But I would really prefer to be in a home with
a family. I love to be around people and I enjoy giving
attention as much as getting it. Please consider me! |
|

D23208 Psst, over here! I’m Vito! I’m a 6-year-old male
German Shepherd. I was brought into the shelter because my
family had allergies to me. I am a very sweet, loving boy. I am

ARL's Foster Care Program
Do you love older dogs and cats or ones with special needs? So do
we! We need YOU!
The ARL is looking to establish a list of a few good homes
who would be willing to provide temporary care for
older or special needs dogs and cats while we look for their
forever homes. How does it work?
• The ARL pays for vet care, you only need to provide food and toys (and love of
course!)
• The ARL will do a home visit and check vet references to ensure that the
pet
is going into a good environment.
• If you have one or more dogs, they must come to the shelter to meet the
foster dog to ensure that they will get along.
And your dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines and have
current licenses.
• Foster homes must have their own transportation, commit to providing the pet
with proper vet care and adequate exercise,
and can bring the pet to the shelter when necessary to
meet potential adopters.
For anyone interested in this worthwhile and rewarding opportunity, please stop
by and fill out a foster home application.
Thank you for caring about those who can't help themselves!
The
following pets are in foster homes (they're not at the shelter), awaiting their
forever homes! Please
call the shelter or email Marcy Tocker at marcyb411@hotmail.com
to schedule an appointment to meet them!
Please be patient - it may take a few days to respond!

Hi, I'm Holly. Check out my ears! I am a 7-10 year old spayed
female Chihuahua mix. I needed emergency surgery when I first
left for my foster home to remove bladder stones. Some nice
people offered to help pay for my surgery. I am very greatful
that they didn't give up hope because I'm not a young puppy
anymore. It was scary, but I feel much better now. I love
running around and playing with the other dogs in my foster
home. I am crate trained and doing well with housetraining.
Everyone who meets me falls in love with me. I'm sure you will
too.
I am in a foster home so please email Marcy
at marcyb411@hotmail.com
to set up an appointment to meet me. |

looking for my forever home. I like other dogs, kids, and
getting lots of attention. I really enjoy going for car rides
and playing with my toys. I need a home with someone who
understands the Pit Bull breed. If you are looking for a dog who
is loyal and wants to be your best friend, then I'm your girl!

C45385 Hello,

brown tiger DSH. I was a momma cat who was fostered by an ARL
employee until my babies were old enough. They were all adopted
and now I’m still here! I’m very lovable and need a new forever
home! I am in a foster home so please email Marcy

Hi, I’m Annie, a 5-7 year-old spayed female Pit Bull, one of over 50
dogs removed from a dog fighting bust in NC this summer. I was
used as a breeder and bait dog and lived tied to a steel drum
and fed by having food thrown on the ground. But despite all of
that, I am sweet and loving. I’m crate trained and never have
accidents. I should probably go to a home as an only dog but
maybe with the proper match, I would be okay.
Please contact
Diane at the ARL (extension 103) for more information or to make
an appointment to meet me. |

Goldilocks is a 1-year-old
spayed female Pit Bull Terrier in need of great home. Goldie
has been through a lot in her short life and she deserves a
family to call her own. Goldie loves to go for walks and play
with toys. She is crate trained and behaves well in the house.
Goldie seems to get along well with other dogs but she is afraid
of most dogs initially. Although Goldie may be a little shy at
first, she quickly warms up and loves attention.
I am in a foster home so please email Marcy

D23002 Hi, they
call me Baby! I’m a 6-year-old spayed female Pit Bull. I’m the
sweetest, calmest and most loving girl. I look like your average
Pit Bull, cropped ears and a little on the big side. But looks
are deceiving. I’m a cuddler and so lovable. I am in a foster home so please email Marcy
at marcyb411@hotmail.com
to set up an appointment to meet me. |

Psst, over here! I’m Diamond, a 6-month-old female Pit Bull.
I came into the shelter with a broken leg. The staff took me to
the vet and now I have a splint. I need a nice family to take
care of me and let me relax so I can heal. After that, it’s
play, play, play time! I am in a foster home so please email Marcy
at marcyb411@hotmail.com
to set up an appointment to meet me. |
 
Hi everyone. My name is
Susannah Clair. I am a 10-year-old female Beagle. No one ever
cared to spay me, so I have some mammary masses that need to be
removed. Don't let that scare you away though, I am a total
sweetheart with a lot of love to give! I am not up for adoption
yet, but I will be as soon as I am feeling better. I was
wondering, aan anyone could help me out with my vet bills? Just
because I am a senior, doesn't mean I don't deserve to be
healthy.
I love to snuggle and follow my foster mom around. I get along
with dogs and cats. I like to follow my foster brother around
outside. I have come a long way in the past few weeks. I was so
scared when I first got to my foster home that I often spent my
time curled up in a tight little ball. Now you might find me
scampering around the house or stretched out on a nice dog bed.
I am working on housetraining and with some patience, I'll
figure it out. I figured out that my tail works and now I wag it
all the time!
If you would like to donate towards my care or even be my
sponsor, please email

My name is Chancey. I am a 6-7 year old
female Cocker Spaniel. And boy, you should have seen me when I
first entered the shelter. I was one of the most neglected dogs
that the staff had ever seen. I was so matted that the nice
staff member had to give me a sedative to shave me without
hurting me. My nails were growing into my pads and I was
suffering from a severe skin, ear, and eye infections. I also
had untreated Hypothyroidism. Luckily, the staff saw a glimmer
of hope and gave me a chance. With medicine and the love of my
foster family, I remembered what it was like to be happy.
You may notice that I cannot see too
well. My skin was so infected that it drooped over my eyes. I
also have a condition called entroptian, or "cherry eye." Now
that my skin is better, the next step in my journey is to repair
my eyes and get a little brow lift so I can see.
Even though I have been through a lot of
pain, I am such a sweetie. I love to cuddle and receive
attention. I get along with other animals I am housetrained. I
am looking for a sponsor(s) to help pay for my surgery so that I
can see better. Please email
MarcyB411@hotmail.com. |
 
I am Penny and I am an 8-month-old
female Pit Bull. I came into the ARL terrified and covered with
fleas. In the shelter environment, I was very timid and nervous.
Even when the staff tried to coax me with yummy treats, I backed
away with my tail between her legs. The nice people here decided
it was best to pull me out of that environment and put me a
foster home to assist in my socialization process. When I
arrived in my foster home, I let my true colors shine! I'm a
happy girl who loves to play. I get along with other dogs and
I'm working on basic obedience. Please remember that I am a
young dog. I am looking for a family who will keep me forever.
I am in a foster home so please email Marcy

Hi, my name is Conan. Check out my smile and my fluffy coat!
I am a 5-year-old neutered male Keeshond. Unfortunately, I was
living in filthy conditions before the ARL saved me. My general
health and care was neglected and I was very depressed. But now
that I am in a foster home, I am doing fantastic and smiling all
the time! I love other dogs and people. I walk nicely on a
leash, I am crate trained, and I am housetrained. I really like
to cuddle with my foster parents and my doggie foster sister. If
you want lots of smiles in your life, you'll want to meet me!
I am in a foster home so please email Marcy

My name is Bullet! I am a 9-year-old neutered male
Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. My picture does not even begin to show
my cuteness! I was brought into the ARL after my owner became
ill. Thankfully, I was given the chance I deserve to find a
loving home. I am crate trained and housetrained. I get along
with other dogs too. I would be the perfect dog for someone who
is looking for a small, lower energy, companion. When you meet
me you will see that I am the dog for you!
