I'M BACK! Remember me, Jazz? I was adopted a few months ago but I'm something of an escape artist and decided to go on a little adventure from my new home and lo and behold I ended up in the New Hanover Animal Rescue facility. Thank goodness my old friends from SOAR found me and brought me back to SOAR. They want to find a new home for me and I most certainly do too. I'm very sweet and adorable and love to be petted and give kisses. I'm young and need exercise though. Would you play frisbee or fetch with me? Won't you come see what a beautiful girl I am?

What’s that you’ve got there? A treat? How about sharing some with me! My name is Cherry and I’m a 4-year-old female Hound mix who is great with people, other dogs and kids. I’m spayed, up to date on all my vaccinations and I’m extremely sweet. My former owner was deployed so now I’m homeless. Can you take me in your heart and home? I’ll bring my stuffed, squeaky toys. They’re my very favorite things to play with. Other than you, of course!

We're Winna, Wispy, and Widget. We are three of four siblings who are up for adoption. We are 7-month-old Lab mixes who were part of an unwanted litter of puppies. We’re a little shy, but we’re extremely sweet and, although we’re playful, we’re not high-energy. Come visit us and our sister Sally. We're all adorable!

Lily -- small dog mix (I'm not sure what she is) -- female -- around 1 year old
Lily is a sweet, submissive little girl who is only around 20lbs. She has the most beautiful long black fur. She loves to be petted. She was found as a stray with two other dogs in Leland. She's looking for a forever home where she'll never have to fend for herself again.
My name is Oreo and I am just as sweet as my name suggests! I am a 6-month-old female Terrier mix who loves to sit in laps and cuddle. I bond very quickly to people, which is amazing because I was rescued by the shelter from an abusive home. I don’t hold it against anyone, however, I just want to love and be loved! I am house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained and up to date on every shot. I weigh only 35 pounds and will probably not get much bigger. I’m not a high-energy dog either; I’m just content to stay by your side. The volunteers here have all fallen in love with me, they say I am a complete and total doll.
My name is Trinity and I’m part Doberman and part Lab. I am one of the friendliest three-legged dogs you’ll ever meet. I enjoy being inside and I especially love to cuddle in bed with you. I know how to sit, lie down and speak on command. I am very playful despite my handicap (you see, I haven’t figured out that I’m missing a leg.) No one is really sure how I lost my leg but they think maybe it’s because a car hit me. I am a spayed female who is house-trained, good with kids and I’m on heartworm prevention. I’d love to go home with you!
Hello, everyone. I’m Daisy! I’m a 2-year-old Lab mix who comes from a broken home. I’m 80 pounds and I’m house-trained. No accidents in the house for me! I’m a very sweet and loving girl, but I would do best in a home with no small animals or children. That way you and I can get to know each other without any distractions!

Hi, I’m Maggie! You’d never know it to look at me but I’m a Lab mix who’s 10-years-old. I’ve been a family dog all my life, but my folks had a baby and life changed. I started having to spend a lot of time outdoors. It sure would be nice if I could go back to being a family dog who stays inside. After all, I have perfect house manners. I’m housetrained and obedient. I’m spayed, up to date on all my shots and I love children and other dogs. I’m a nice small size and only weigh 40 pounds.

Epilogue: My new parents love me to death but you know what, I love them more. I'm so happy now.

Randall was abandoned in a Wilmington park with his sister and he would love to be adopted into a happy, loving family. He has a very friendly, sweet disposition and loves to play with puppy toys. I believe he would get along with just about anyone. He sleeps soundly through the night in a crate with 102.7FM on the radio and he has already learned "SIT". Please give Randall the home he so deserves. You'll get lots of love in return.
Hi! My name is 'Midi' and my sister is 'Tiggy'. We are 9 years old and grew up together. We love each other and theycall us the 'ladies' because we love everyone. We take care of each other. We do listen and are very gentle. Please come and meet us; you will love us too. We need to stay together.
We are LT and Wilma. We have been best buddies for years and years so we must go to a home together. No one is quite sure how old we are – let’s just say we’re senior citizens in need of a loving home environment to which we can retire. We are complete and total sweethearts who are no trouble at all. We’re friendly and affectionate and we’d like to trade in shelter life for a home with folks who love and cherish us. Seniors like us deserve extra respect and extra love and attention. We are most definitely worth it.

Hi everybody! It’s great to see you! I’m Birdie and I’m one of those rare dogs who is calm and relaxed. I’m one very mellow lady! I’m a 2-year-old Lab mix who has been spayed, vaccinated and I’m on heartworm prevention. I would make an excellent house dog because I’m not too rambunctious and excitable. I don’t need a lot of stimulation - I just need a loving home that contains a loving family! I get along great with other dogs, too! If you’d like to make the acquaintance of a lady who would spend the rest of her life loving you, come meet me!

I'm Brandy, a 9-year-old female Lab/Bloodhound mix who's been spayed. Listen to all my terrific qualities: I'm good on a leash, know basic commands, am house trained and am on heartworm prevention. My personality is also a plus - I'm a very sweet girl who loves being touched. I'm very people-oriented and I love to sit adoringly, gazing up into someone's kind eyes. I'd sure like to gaze into yours!
We're Moe and Curly, two precious, fun-loving Hound mixes. Moe is female and Curly is male. We're 1-2 years old, on heartworm prevention and have been spayed and neutered. Our brother Larry has been adopted and we'd love to find homes of our own. We're both good on command and, to make matters even better, we're leash-trained and we get along well with other dogs. We'd jump for joy if you came to see us!
I'm Dot, a 2-year old Lab/Hound mix who's spayed and on heartworm prevention. I'm a very good girl who loves children and I'm good on a leash. I love to give - and receive - love. Come and visit me - I'm a true sweetie-pie!
I'm Rex, an adult male Lab mix who's neutered and great on a leash. I'm very sweet and I love to play. I also have a very easy-going personality!
Hi! I’m Xena, a female Shepherd mix who’s spayed, up to date on all vaccinations and I never forget to take my heartworm pill every month! I’m an extremely affectionate and loving lady, only 2-years-old, who is great on a leash. A couple of my most favorite things to do is to splash around in kiddie pools and to squeak, squeak squeak on squeaky toys! If you want to make me happy, just give me a simple little toy with one of those squeaky things inside it. It keeps me busy for hours! I’d like to be the only dog in the family, please, so that we can focus all our love on each other!
Red is a four year old collie mix. He is wonderful with other dogs and great on a leash. He ended up at SOAR due to divorce. He is such a nice size and just loves to be loved. He's not used to being in a shelter and really would love to be in a home. He thinks it's awfully noisy there and sometimes that scares him. He's a quiet, calm dog who just wants a new person so he can lay at their feet and feel wanted.
Aren't I the cutest thing? My name is Bosco and I'm a 6-month-old male Lab mix found as a stray. I'm neutered and up to date on all my shots. I'm a very loving, gentle boy who loves to play (after all, I'm still just a puppy!). I'm great with adults, kids and other dogs. I'm lots and lots of fun and I'm absolutely gorgeous! I'd love for you to come visit me!

Rachel, Roxanne, and Hannah

You really need to come see us little girls. We love it when the volunteers come here and turn us loose to romp and play in the common area. Pattie, see below, is our kennel mate and when the four of us get loose it's great fun. We are very friendly and lovable. Please come meet us.

My name is Rascal. Aren't I a very good-looking boy? You'll never believe what happened to me. I was found abandoned and chained to a tree, without food or water. Luckily, my harsh treatment hasn't affected my loving personality. I have a very sweet disposition in spite of the trauma I've experienced. In fact, I wear a gentle smile on my face almost all the time, and I really know how to smile when I'm given a treat! I'm 3-years-old, neutered, heartworm negative and currently on prevention. I'm good with other dogs and people. I've not yet been around cats, but I've done well with the children that I've encountered. Come meet me!

Hi I'm Jessie! Rumor has it that I've been adopted and my new parents are just waiting for me to be spayed which will happen this week. I sure hope this rumor is true. I will make my new family very happy; I'm going to give them lots of love. You might want to check back in a week or so to see if my adoption is finalized. And come over to SOAR and meet me while I'm still here; I would love to meet you.

I'm Baby, a sweet, beautiful collie as you can easily see. My previous owner says that my most endearing quality is my gentle heart and that I just loved to be petted and walked. I was named Baby because it was close to Bambi and my owner felt I ran just like a deer. Won't you come and meet me?

Hi there! I'm Lola. I'm a bundle of energy and would love to play games with you. I'm very friendly and really need someone to love me. I think that you would find that very easy to do. When I come back from one of my walks with the volunteers here I like to jump in my own little private swimming pool and cool off. I Won't you come meet me and let me show you what a lovable girl I am?

 

I'm Pattie and I'm a charmer and total lovebug. At last count I have three volunteers totally smitten. They made the mistake of putting me in their lap and petting me and looking into my eyes. They fell totally in love. Why don't you come here and try the same thing? If you do I believe the number three will be passe.

 


Special Thanks to: Everyone involved with SOAR. We are making a difference...(more)
