Beautiful Princess Nyx is still searching for a permanent palace to call home! 👑

Nyx was saved off of the streets by one of our amazing volunteers. Since then, she’s been crashing at her house and has made it known that she is royalty.
She loves her tunnel, sunbathing, and meal time. She doesn’t ask for much!

This 1 year old cutie pie is good with dogs, cats, and kids! She has perfect princess manners! 💞

She sports a small scar beneath her left eye from her former outdoor life, but every princess needs a good origin story, and Nyx says it only adds to her charm.

If you are interested in adopting Nyx, please apply for her today!

Open Hours:
Wed-Fri 3-7pm
Saturday: 10am-2pm

Location:
42 Deep River Rd.
Sanford, NC 27330

*Nyx is in a foster home so an approved application is required to book an appointment to meet her*

Apple is such a goofy, adorable girl! 🍎

She came from a bad situation where she was living in extremely poor conditions. You wouldn’t know it when you meet her though. She’s as sweet as pie! 🥧

She is finally learning how to be a dog. She’s learning what toys are, what a plush dog bed feels like, what it’s like to have access to clean water, and so much more. We cannot wait for her to experience her very first time in a loving home.

Apple is a 6 month old hound mix. She is good with dogs and kids. She is very smart and a fast learner. ❤️

Apply for Apple today!

Update: We have closed applications for Buddy.

Meet Buddy! 🐶

This sweet guy is a 1 year old Yorkie who has found himself now looking for a new home. He was surrendered due to not being fond of the man in the home. We have since tested him with a male and he did wonderful.

Buddy is good with dogs. 🐕
He would do best in a home with older children. 🥰
He is not yet cat tested. 🐈‍⬛

He loves having a fenced in yard but it might not be necessary.

We would love to find him a patient home as he is not confirmed to be housebroken. He can also be nervous when new guests come over but can be fine over time. He is super sweet… he just needs a patient, calm home so that he can learn skills that he wasn’t taught in his previous home. ❤️‍🩹

•UTD on vaccines
•Microchipped
•Will be neutered before adoption
•13 lbs

We would love to find this handsome fellow a forever home soon so that he does not have to be in a stressful kennel environment for much longer. Apply for him today! ❤️

You can find us at 42 Deep River Rd, Sanford, NC 27330, Wednesday-Friday 3-7 PM and on Saturday’s 10 AM-2 PM!

*Due to how popular we are expecting Buddy to be, an approved application will be required to make an appointment to meet him*

At 4:30 AM, sweet Annabelle crossed the rainbow bridge while in the loving arms of the volunteer that was with her from the very first night that she was brought in. 🌈💔🪽

We got a call from the vet early this morning letting us know that Annabelle was going downhill fast and was now experiencing complications. Her tubes came out of her nose and the tissue that was left was starting to die. Putting the tubes back in would be extremely painful and it was likely this would keep happening. Her prognosis was now not good. This devastated us but we knew that the kindest option was to let her go, peacefully and surrounded by love.

We are so thankful to all of you for donating and helping us help her. We tried our hardest and you helped us be able to do that. ❤️‍🩹

We thankfully raised everything needed for her bill. Any money leftover that was not used, will go into the Holly Fund which will help other animals in need.

*The vet believes that this was an animal bite or something of an accidental nature. Any comments attacking the owners will be deleted. This is already extremely hard for everyone involved.*
