Alexa

Sweet Alexa is a petite girl, about 3 years old, who we pulled from a shelter with her 8 puppies. She is now retired from being a mommy and ready for a home of her own. Alexa is a very shy, sweet, calm girl who has blossomed in her foster home. Foster mom says she now loves to play and is a happy, affectionate, fun loving pup in her familiar home setting. Alexa loves foster mom and, though she was uncertain at first about a male human that comes over to visit, she now thinks he is just as delightful as her favorite toy and she looks forward to seeing him! Though she is confident in her foster home, now that everything is familiar, she is still quite shy out in public. She enjoys walks in the park but will timidly back away from new people and dogs. A secure collar/harness/leash is a must. She has been fine around other calm dogs at the adoption fairs, hanging out with them but not interested in play or much interaction. Foster mom says Alexa has not been crated in her home and she is totally nondestructive, a lovely houseguest. She is also housetrained and is able to hold it while foster mom is at work. She stays in the kitchen and just relaxes and waits patiently. Alexa is shy when she comes to adoption fairs, overwhelmed by a lot of stuff going on and too much new things all at once, but she warms up to patient, calm people and seems much less wary of gentle kids than she is grownups. She is fine with well mannered children calmly petting her. Alexa will most certainly seem very shy and retreating when you first come meet her, It may take a couple of meetings before she understands you mean well. She will also be initially shy in her new home but, as foster mom says, she is a completely different dog once she is feeling comfy and secure in a home. Please apply for this sweet and lovely girl if you have experience working with timid pups and love to watch them blossom. She needs a new owner who will have lots of patience with her and gradually work to build up her confidence.

Ash

Ash is a special pup in need of a special home. He has been with us over a year and keeps getting returned after a brief trial period with the same issue. We will be totally honest with you about him, of course. He is affectionate and snuggly with people he trusts. He enjoys lap time. He is perfectly housetrained and asks to go out. He loves to play with a crinkly plastic water bottle and will fetch for you. He loves to go for car rides. He loves to sleep on the bed with you. So, what is the problem? Well, the sweet side of Ash is wonderful and he has many good qualities. He acts so happy when he is relaxed. However, something must have happened to him during his formative years that made him very protective in many situations and fearful in others. So, being honest here, Ash is protective of his food, protective of his toys, protective when in his crate, protective of his car, protective of the big people bed, and protective of his family when visitors come. The poor pup learned long ago that, for some reason, he needed to lash out and threaten to bite (and sometimes bite) whenever he felt threatened or intimidated. We do not know his history, but it makes us so sad that such a nice pup feels so often scared and protective. All pups deserve to be in a loving home, and our Ash certainly does. He is much happier in a home setting and definitely looked sad and puzzled when he was returned yet again. Ash is looking for a home that understands dogs with insecurity and dominance issues, things that should have been easily nipped in the bud when he was a puppy. He needs a very experienced person who can correct him without making him even more defensive. We know the right home is out there! We do offer a 2 week foster to adopt trial period. We would love for you to apply if you are ready to turn this guys life around! Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Bear

Bella

Bella was brought to our center because her owner was no longer able to care for her. She is about 9 to 10 years old. She is a very sweet and friendly girl who definitely deserves a family to love again. Bella is a very gentle girl, kind to all and never aggressive. She quickly sits on command and will even offer a paw. She is very well behaved in public. She is welcoming to everyone who wants to say hello to her. She is great with the dogs at our adoption fairs and around unfamiliar dogs passing by, a peaceful girl. She does not react to other dogs unless another dog truly has no manners. She would be a great addition to any calm home where she can relax and enjoy her life! We really want to see this beautiful soul spending her retirement in a home setting, not a kennel. She should be very easy to live with, a calming companion for you in this busy world. Please come meet this lovely girl and see if she is the best friend you have been looking for. Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Bob ADOPTION PENDING

Name: Bob Sex: Male Age: 2 yrs Breed: Chihuahua mix Well, if you are thinking that sweet, tender Bob looks like a scardy cat in his photos, you are absolutely correct! We do not know what Bob went through in his past life, but we do know that he was seized along with lots of other dogs so our guess, based on these sweethearts personalities, was that he might be from a hoarding or puppy mill type situation. Bob is super sweet and gentle, simply a darling pup who has very little to no experience as life in a home as a beloved pup. Even when feeling so scared, Bob is completely sweet, as are all of these pups. Bob is an affectionate boy who bonds quickly and enjoys being loved on and being in your lap. He loves to be touched, probably got way too little of that in his old life. He has no leash experience at all and all he wants to do is hide behind you submissively so he is really good about wrapping the leash around your legs! He will need some time to figure out what leashes are for. A securely fenced yard would be helpful as he learns, so it will be easier on you to potty train him. He is tiny, so could easily fit through any gaps in fencing. Since Bob is used to living with other dogs and needs to basically learn everything about life in a home, he will definitely need a companion pup and best friend or two in his new home. He will learn all about being a real dog by following the example of your more confident pup. As you can see, he is skinny and missing a lot of fur right now, most like from a flea infestation (fleas are all gone now, of course). He will be really handsome and fluffy when he has filled out and grown back a full coat of fur. We think that Bob may be about 2 years old. If you are experienced with shy dogs AND you currently have a dog seeking a little companion, please apply! Bob will need to learn so much and it will take a little time to rehabilitate him but this baby doll is well worth it.

Bradley

Bradley was rescued from a local shelter. He is about 2 years old. He is a big, strong Mastiff mix. He is a large, loving lap dog out of his enclosure, a great boy, according to our staff that work with him daily, and he definitely relaxes and enjoys himself and his people friends. He highly values people that he has bonded with. Bradley does show aggression towards new people and dogs when confined in his crate or enclosure so will need an experienced owner to help him understand he does not need to feel so anxious in such places. We do not know what happened to him in the past to create this anxiety in a confined space, but it could not have been very good, poor boy. If you are experienced with large breeds and want to help Bradley, please come meet him at the SPCA of the Triad.

Brady ADOPTION PENDING

Tender little Brady, a Chihuahua mix who seems to be around 4 years old based on his nice looking teeth, came to us from a rural county shelter and boy was he terrified by all the recent changes in his life and new places! This poor baby simply could not tolerate being in a cage in a busy center with barking dogs and loud noises (see picture 3). He was breaking our hearts so we swooped him right into a foster home and he is soooo much happier! Brady was seized from his owner and taken into county custody; we do not know the reason. Brady is about 13-15 pounds. His foster mom says it took Brady only one night to start trusting everyone in his foster home and then his sweet personality started to blossom! She thinks he will bond quickly with a new family though they should expect him to be very skittish and uncertain right at first. She says he is a great cuddler and loves blankets and snuggle time on the sofa. He would love to sleep on the big bed with you but does fine sleeping in a crate in a home setting. He does great with other nice little dogs and also with cats. Since he is a shy boy, he will do best in a new home with a confident doggie friend who can show him the ropes. If a dog friend trusts new people, so does Brady. Once he trusts you, he will follow you everywhere and he definitely loves to be with his people. He is a smart pup and learns doggie rules of the house quickly. He is treat motivated and already knows the sit command. Brady seems to love men especially! He walks pretty well on the leash and seems to be used to leash walks. Sweet Brady will need to be adopted into a home with another dog (or two!) that is looking for a doggie friend, and he will need a family experienced with timid pups/Chihuahuas so that he can relax and be his most awesome self in his new home. If his new home has kids, older ones would be better. More pictures and info coming as we continue to get to know Brady. Apply online at www.triadspca.org and we will arrange for you to meet him.

Chip ADOPTION PENDING

Chip is a wonderful 21 pound 3 year old, a cute little mix with the kindest eyes! He is tail wagging friendly to everyone here at the center and has a pleasing, easy going energy level. He is a pretty calm guy overall. Chip is an affectionate boy and really appreciates a good snuggle. He is simply one of those really nice dogs that you cannot help but fall in love with. He enjoys taking walks and is comfy being on the leash but would benefit from a training halter or similar so that he learns not to pull in the excitement over exploring. Chip is confident about lots of things but feels a little bit intimidated at being crated in his kennel. We get the feeling he believes he belongs cuddled with his family in a home setting and just cannot quite figure out his current situation. Hopefully, some lovely family will apply for Chip soon so he can go to a great new home!

Copper

Sweet young Copper was owner surrendered when they were moving and could not take her. She needs to be an only dog in her new home since that is what she is used to and she does not like sharing her home or people with another dog. She does need time to understand that she can trust new folks, but she really is eager to do so, just needs a gentler approach at first. She does warm up quickly. She enjoys lap time. Copper is very treat motivated and treats help her bond quickly to new friends. She is playful with toys and enjoys fetching them. She will drop them in exchange for a treat and it would be good to continue this technique with her since otherwise she may feel a bit possessive about her toy. She is gaining confidence daily, doing much better!!! She is doing well enough that we are taking her to adoption fairs now. She acts a bit nervous about all the comings and goings around her since she is an insecure little thing, but you can see her mind working and figuring it all out. She is friendly to people coming up to say hi to her, just needs a few seconds to appreciate that they are coming up simply to admire her cute self. Her breed mix is a mystery to us but she is really cute and looks like she might have a smidgen of Italian Greyhound or similar tossed in along with Beagle, Doxi, Rat Terrier or whatever!! Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Dottie

Dottie was pulled from a local shelter and is a friendly girl. She has the prettiest white fur with polka dots and the cutest black eyebrow above one eye. She is about 3-4 years old. Dottie loves people and enjoys making new human friends. She is good on a leash though acts a little silly from excitement the first 20 seconds outside. She loves to run and would really enjoy a fenced yard in her new home. She is athletic and appreciates a good stretch and a long walk. Dottie is smart and independent, not a clingy girl. She enjoys sharing affection with her friends. She knows how to sit on command for a tasty treat. Dottie prefers to be an only dog in her new home. She has been fine with easy going dogs when at our adoption fairs but prefers to be the only dog in a home setting. Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Henry

He is friendly to all adults and loves to make new people friends. He really enjoys going on outings to pet adoption fairs. He could use more basic training, so a little patience on his new parents part would be helpful. He does know how to sit on command and you can tell that this boy truly does yearn for and enjoy structure in his life. He appreciates guidance and feels pretty proud of himself when he is a good boy and pleases you! He loves affection and playtime and toys. He has been friendly to all new people so far here at the center and at adoption fairs, however, at about a year old in a home setting, Henry decided children just were not his thing and he came back to us to find a new home. (He was adopted from us as a little puppy.) He is a good boy in his crate, resting quietly when it is crate time here at the center. He may be okay with other dogs and a meet and greet with your dog would be a good idea to see if they like each other if you currently have a dog. Henry does fine around the other dogs at our adoption fairs though sometimes all his energy can be a bit too much for the other dogs. He is not so hot with kitties however so no cats in his new home, please. Henry is a big, active young dog who would love to have an equally active new owner who could take him for long walks and adventures. Henry will instantly make your world a much more fun, happy place! He will do really well in a family that can teach him good doggie manners. He is certainly smart and very trainable. A Gentle Leader type device will be helpful in training him not to pull on the leash.

Mickey

Roberta ADOPTION PENDING

What a sweet, sweet baby is Chihuahua Miss Roberta! Her coloring is really pretty but so hard to capture in photos. We do not know what Roberta went through in her past life, but we do know that she was seized along with lots of other dogs so our guess, based on these sweethearts personalities, was that she might be from a hoarding or puppy mill type situation. All of these pups are timid, but Roberta comes right up to the front of her kennel in hopes of making a new friend and getting some much needed attention. She loves to observe everything that people are doing. Roberta walks pretty well on the leash but will wrap around your legs a lot because all of these rescue pups think that they should hide behind people. Once you get going, however, she does fine and enjoys the walk and the company. Even when feeling timid, Roberta is completely sweet, as are all of these pups. Roberta is an affectionate girl who bonds quickly and enjoys being loved on and being in your lap. She loves to be touched, probably got way too little of that in her old life. Since Roberta is used to living with other dogs and needs to basically learn everything about life in a home, she will definitely need a companion pup and best friend or two in her new home. She will learn all about being a real dog by following the example of your more confident pup. As you can see, she is skinny. She will be really pretty when she has filled out and grown back a more full coat of fur. We do not know her age, just that she is adult. If you are experienced with shy dogs AND you currently have a dog seeking a little companion, please apply! Roberta will need to learn so much and it will take a little time to rehabilitate her but this baby doll is well worth it. Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405.

Sugar

Name: Sugar Sex: Female Age: 10 yrs Breed: Beagle/Hound mix Sugar is a 10 year old, 58.8 pound Beagle/hound mix who is a friendly girl and adores people. She seems to like everyone, though, as a mature lady, she would rather not be around active babies and little tykes in her home. She prefers well mannered grown ups. She still loves to take walks and is good on the leash unless that Beagle nose pulls her towards something that smells really great. As she is a little embarrassed to have you notice, she has put on a few extra pounds in her golden years since she really loves eating and treats, but she would be okay if you want to put her on a diet and help her trim up a bit. It is harder on senior joints to carry that weight, after all, so she would appreciate the help! She is a sweet girl and has an easy going nature, typical of what makes seniors so precious. Sugar holds her pee and poo for when it is time to go outside, no accidents in her kennel for this lady. Sugar is past her playful years so wants to be an only dog in her new home, especially since that is what she is used to. She is not that fond of other dogs anyway. Sugar is a sweetheart who really deserves a loving retirement home. She promises to love you so much and says she is not that much trouble, an easy keeper.

Thor

Thor is a handsome 5 year old pup who is all Boxer in personality! He is a lot of fun and he loves toys and playing. Thor loves tummy rubs and playing ball. He is always happy, always wants to play, and is such a sweet lad. He is not good with other dogs so does need to be the only dog in his new home. Thor was surrendered because he wants to be the king of his castle. We see nothing wrong with that, he just needs the right castle! Thor will be great in a home that understands the Boxer personality and will work to train him to be nonreactive around passing dogs. Come meet him at SPCA of the Triad, 3163 Hines Chapel Rd in Greensboro.

Abby ADOPTION PENDING

Abby is a lovely girl who was surrendered by her owner. She is about 5 years old and currently a very skinny, long legged 15.6 pounds. As you can see in her photos, our current goal is to fatten her up! She just arrived at the SPCA. Abby is a friendly, affectionate girl who does enjoy making new people friends. She is feeling a little concerned about the kennel environment right now, but we are quite certain she will relax as soon as she is comfy in a home setting. In the meantime, we will show her lots of TLC and help her to acclimate to our busy center. This sweet girl has a bad abscess in a tooth, plus needs a good dental cleaning, so we will be getting her a complete dental asap. She will feel a LOT better and she will be able to eat enough to gain some much needed weight. We have her on soft foods right now to help her eat more. Abby enjoys going for leash walks and is fine on the leash. She may have experienced recent neglect, but she acts like she was someones beloved baby at some point in her prior life, since she has such a nice personality. Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Buster ADOPTION PENDING

Well, all we can say about this nugget of sweetness is you want this dog!! Buster is simply a gem. He was owner surrendered to a county shelter and we quickly brought him into rescue since he belongs in a great new home asap! Buster seems to be a young adult (nice teeth) and he has a long body like he might have some Doxi in his mix. He has delightfully scruffy fur and the cutest eyebrows! He is missing some of his fur on his backside because of fleas but he is flea free and it will grow back nicely. He is about 18 pounds. Buster is a gentle little guy who acts timid in his crate but do not let that fool you! He is a sweet as can be, just kind of intimidated by all the activity in the center and finding himself homeless and housed in a crate. When you take him out in the playyard, his darling personality blossoms very quickly. This is one polite boy! He sits for treats, can sit up and beg, comes when he is called and fetches like a gentleman. He softly releases his toy into your hand and seems to be non possessive about his stuff. He is playful and happy natured. Buster is a very loving and affectionate boy who appreciates a good snuggle. Basically, he is awesome! We can bet that, in a home setting, this pup will blossom within a day or two and bring so much joy and love into your home. He walks nicely on a leash, too. Nothing bad to say about this sweetheart! Just give him a few minutes to get over his initial submissive shyness when you come to meet him and he will gladly show you his true personality. We have not tested him with other dogs but he is peaceful passing by other pups in their crates. Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Ginger

Ginger is a 3 year old, 48 pound Boxer/Lab mix with a stubby Boxer tail. She is a friendly girl and seems to enjoy making friends with any new adult she meets. We have not kid tested her yet. Ginger is affectionate and enjoys a good snuggle. She LOVES tummy rubs and happily rolls over for those. She enjoys taking walks and exploring. She does pull on the leash so the use of a Gentle Leader or similar will make walks for both you and Ginger. Her enjoyment of exploring got her in trouble in her old home. They were using an invisible fence and she kept going through that so she could have an adventure and neighbors complained about her being loose. She was probably left out by her lonesome too often and needed something to do. So, this means Ginger really will enjoy a new home in which she is taken for wonderful walks and adventures so she does not get bored! Ginger will probably be best as an only pup in her new home since she does not seem too fond of the other dogs here at the center when they pass by her crate. She saves her pees and poops for outside, no messing up her crate for this girl. She is a sweet girl and seems a bit submissive to people, which is a really nice thing. Come meet this lovely girl and see if you fall in love! Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

George ADOPTION PENDING

George is a young pup, only about a year old with sparkly white teeth, and he is about 35 pounds of pure sweetness and love! He is a humble and submissive little guy, just a big smoosh of a pup. When you meet him, all you can think of is huggable puppy!! George is feeling a bit shy in the busy kennel environment. He was found as a stray but maybe was not exposed to a whole lot in his past life. He is definitely very friendly and adores every new friend he makes, just not feeling very brave since he is new to our center. He takes every opportunity to come in close for snuggle time and kisses. He loves tummy rubs. He loves touch and being close to people and sharing affection. George seems to have a nice, pleasant moderate energy level, definitely not a hyper guy like some his age. He will need lots of fun play time and good walks, of course, but he seems pretty easy going for his age. We have not tested him with other dogs. Better come meet this baby soon! Pups this special do not linger in rescue very long. Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405.

Larry ADOPTION PENDING

Larry is such a sweet gentleman! He is about 2 years old and just under 34 pounds. He was found as a stray but it is really hard to imagine how this guy became homeless since he is very much a people oriented pup. Maybe he followed his nose too far one day and got lost since he does love to sniff and explore. We do not know his breed mix but he has gorgeous coloring and soft fur with a fluffy tail. He is a truly such a love and so well behaved here at the center. He has a nice moderate energy level overall. Larry is quiet and peaceful in his crate, but always happy to come out for a walk with any nice person. He has been friendly to everyone and an affectionate guy. He is wonderful on the leash, walking mostly on a slack leash close to his person, no yanking you around for this guy (well, maybe a little pull to the side if he smells something wonderful!). He is attentive and likes to be obedient. He quickly sits on command for a treat like he is very used to complying with what you ask of him. Larry was a good boy for his vetting, no wriggling or complaining. Larry is a gem! Come meet him today! Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Mia ADOPTION PENDING

Beautiful Mia was well loved in a home until her family lost their home to a fire and they were not able to keep her in their temporary housing. She is 3 years old and about 20 pounds. She has gorgeous fur, a bit of a fluffy coat and a bit of a terrier coat, with a soft, white ruff around her neck. We do not know what breed mix she is, but those amazing ears and the sweet shape of her mouth make us wonder if she has a tiny percentage of Boston Terrier in her genetics! Mia really values her family and just want to go home. She goes up to every parked car in our lot, hoping it is hers. She is a sweet and loving girl, just feeling a little shy at finding herself in an unfamiliar place. She loves walks and is used to the leash. She truly acts like she belongs in a home setting and that is where her personality will blossom! We hope this beauty will be adopted quickly! Apply online at www.triadspca.org or come meet in person at the center located at 3163 Hines Chapel Rd. Greensboro, NC 27405. We are open Tues - Fri 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Oakes

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT apply if you are simply looking for a non shedding, ready to go, easy small pup. Oakes has a special needs personality and needs a very special home in which to blossom. Oakes arrived at the SPCA of the Triad as an extremely sweet but terrified boy so we rushed him right into a foster home, where he started feeling better. He is about five years old and has been through some stuff. We have no idea what has this precious baby so scared - but he was not even eating at our Center. He is a sweet, sweet boy who just trembled in fear. He let us pet him, and sniffed a pupperoni treat for us but would not taste it. He acts like a severely neglected, abused or backyard breeder kind of dog who has never known the love of a human before. Oakes LOVES other dogs and loves to run and play with the dogs in his foster home. He MUST have a companion dog in his new home, one that is kind and understanding of troubled little pups, no diva dogs or dominant doggies, please. Oakes can be really cute when playing with his canine friends, standing on his back legs and gently boxing at them like a cat, what fun! Obviously, he is worlds more comfortable with dogs than with humans. He seems to be a low or non shedding Poodle mix. He needs a patient, very loving and gentle home experienced with abused/frightened pups. He is wary of being picked up and still quite frightened about most human touch, so he definitely needs to be in a home without kids to scare him. He is frightened of sudden movement by humans so needs a peaceful home. If he initiates it, he will sometimes come up on the sofa and let you gently pet him. He may even snuggle in a bit. He has been so scared of human handling that we have not had him bathed or groomed yet since this would have further traumatized him. However, that day is coming soon; foster mom is going to try to make him more presentable right after Thanksgiving. Does anyone have room in their heart/home to show this baby what it is like to be loved?? You must be very patient and committed to his slow rehabilitation, and definitely not expect too much of him too soon. If you think he might be the special needs pup for you AND YOU HAVE A CURRENT PUP LOOKING FOR A PLAYFUL FRIEND, please apply and we can arrange for you to meet him (not at the center; he is in a foster home). Again, please DO NOT apply if you are just looking for an easy, non shedding fluffy or have kids; this is not the boy for you. Apply online at www.triadspca.org.
