Navarro - Adult Male - Aussie Mix
Navarro is wonderful, he has such a human like face and expressions. Very soulful sad eyes. Someone is going to luck out if they adopt Navarro. If you want a dog that is past that puppy stage and just wants to hang out Navarro is for you!
Navarro gets along well with people and animals but one thing he can get touchy about is his food. He is pushy and wants to eat other dog's food and does have some aggression when he is eating his (with other dogs not with humans). He just needs to be fed in his own crate.
Help Save One, Inc does not have mandatory adoption fees although we appreciate any donations to help reimburse us for the vetting and transport of your dog. Navarro comes with all shots, fecal test, deworming, neuter, heartworm test, flea/tick treatment, and health certificate. He also comes with those big sad eyes that tell a story so anyone who adopts Navarro must be kind, compassionate, and willing to let Navarro live out his life in a safe, secure, and loving environment. The adopter MUST be willing to make a huge effort to change those sad eyes into clear and happy ones. Deal?
Navarro's suggested adoption fee would be $250.

Nancy - Adult Female - German Shepherd
Nancy is a great girl and could use a home. She is a little scared and needs someone with breed knowledge. She is not aggressive but seems fearful in new situations. As with most Shepherds she is incredibly smart, insightful, and would make anyone a wonderful companion.

Laura Lee - Young Female - Lab Mix
Laura Lee was pulled from Gaston COunty on our huge pull on Jan. 22. She is about 10 months to a year, and loves other dogs as well as all people. She made it out on her last day and we are so happy she is with us now. Laura Lee would love a great home and as you can see from her photos she is a little people lover.
For such a young dog Laura Lee has gone through so much. How she came to be stuck at a high kill gassing shelter is beyond our comprehension. She is such a friendly, eager to please puppy and how anyone could just throw her away is unconscionable.
Laura Lee could use a foster home.....interested?

Gem - Young Female - Catahoula/Plott Mix
Update 2/26/10:
Gem is spayed and ready for her forever home. She is a big bundle of love. Please consider her for your forever dog!
Update 2/17/09:
Cast is off and leg is healed! Foster mom says Gem is such a friendly and loving dog. She is going to do best in a calm household and does get along well with other dogs.
January 2010 Update:
This dog was brought in to an animal hospital right before Christmas by a "Good Samaritan." The vet splinted the broken leg & cared for the dog. The woman told the vet hospital she found rescue, so the vet waived over 1/2 the bill , to help save the dog. They got records ready & x-rays. She picked her up & took Island to Gaston Co A/C... and now the "Good Samaritan" won't answer her phone. She was brought to the shelter and set to be put down. We pulled her, and now she needs a foster home. Her leg has been fixed, and needs no further surgery. She just needs someone to stay calm and rest while she finishes healing.
She is fully vetted including spay. She is currently located in CT.

Lucille - Adult Female - Dobie Mix
This girl is a wonderful dog who did not catch a break in life. We seen her at the shelter and she was super thin. The photos of her are two weeks after she was pulled and she is still painfully thin but is gaining weight.
Lucille is a friendly dog who is much larger than her photo would purport. She can be picky in her reactions to humans...not aggressive but guarded so we are going to say no children. We think she is about 55 pounds and she is very underweight.

Mama Bear - Adult Female - German Shepherd Mix
Here's another sweet dog that life has not been too kind too...
Dumped at a high kill shelter in Kentucky this girl had her puppies with her. We took them all and of course her puppies have long since been adopted but not Mama Bear. She waits patiently for someone to say "Yup, that's the one I want - she is exactly what we have been waiting for".
Mama Bear is not a purebred, she can't do tricks (although I am sure she can learn), and she won't be the next Westminster Champion. What Mama Bear is a sweet, lovely girl who deserves a home.
Mama Bear could use a foster home.....interested?

Cordell - Adult Male - Chocolate Lab/Weimaraner Mix
Cordell, what a wonderful name for such a young, 1-2 y.o., southern gentleman. Cordell was part of the Georgia Christmas Eve rescue and he is just waiting for his forever home to find him.
Cordell is a friendly fellow who loves other dogs and people. We're not sure how he feels about cats because he has never met any. He would make an excellent family pet and is laid back, loves to lounge in the sunshine and is just an all around good looking, nice fellow.
He'd be a great addition to any family and will come to you UTD on shots, neutered, flea/tick treatment, dewormed, and will travel on a health certificate. Transport is $125

Doug - Adult Male - Boxer/Shepherd Mix
"Meet Doug E. Fresh. Doug enjoys long walks through the neighborhood, giving kisses, and playing with his foster brother, Hank.
Doug was saved by an independent rescuer, and was living on a farm in Georgia. Unfortunately, that was only a temporary placement, until something better came along. He is now living with us in foster care, but desperately needs to find his Forever Home.
He is a young lively boy, chock full of energy, so he will need lots of exercise!! He knows "sit" and "down", but takes some persuading to "stay". He is doing well in the house as far as potty training, though he has had a few bad moments. We are working on this with him.
Doug is quite the snuggle bug, and loves to have your undivided attention. He is just fine sharing his home with a 7 year old…in fact, she's just one more person he can convince to pet him. He doesn't seem to have any food aggression issues, and is willing to share his bone.
He can be a little timid when meeting new people, but it doesn't take him long to warm up. He also is a bit jumpy and scared at times, but with a little love he is able to relax. He hasn't been very vocal so far, but I'm sure he could be coaxed.
Doug is fully vetted and neutered.
Please email me at nmpease06@yahoo.com for more information."

Buddy - Adult Male - Shepherd Mix
Buddy is such a special boy...he also was pulled from death row on his last day and is SUPER friendly. All this dog wants to do is be with humans. We would love to see him get out of boarding and into a real foster or forever home. As you can see from the photos not only is Buddy is friendly but he is also very handsome with great markings.
Buddy was named by a supporter/sponsor of ours named Dennis who named him after the dog Buddy in Colorado who was tragically dragged to his death by a horrible human being who has been charged with this crime. Buddy was a beautiful dog and we are happy to have one of our shelter dogs named after him.

Bud Wise - Adult Male - Lab/Shepherd Mix
This is Bud Wise. He was found on rail road tracks near Gaston County shelter in North Carolina and we took him on the day of the pull from his foster home. He is a young dog (maybe 10 months) and gets along with other dogs and loves to play. He can jump a 6 foot fence and is a total ham. Loves belly rubs!
This kid will make a wonderful addition to any family. We would love to see him with an active family with kids. He needs lots of exercise and play time!

Sweet Caroline - Adult Female - Carolina Dog/Shar Pei
Sweet Caroline is a beautiful Shar Pei/ Carolina dog mix and also was pulled from a high volume gassing shelter on the day of what was to be her euthanasia.
Caroline is shy but she is very loveable and friendly. She has no fear aggression, she is just a shy one. As you can see from her photos she does like people and she likes other dogs too as well.
Caroline deserves to live a life in a forever home. Is that you?

Nicky Blue Eyes - Young Male - Husky Mix
Nicky Blue eyes is a gorgeous hound/husky mix who we met in person at the Lincolnton NC shelter. He was sitting in his kennel being very quiet and gave us big tail wags when he was paid attention to. The shelter Nicky comes from was a gassing facility and he was slotted for euthanasia.
We are so happy to have Nicky. He is neutered, UTD on shots, fecal tested, and parasite and heartworm free. Nicky is friendly and likes other animals including people!

Nancy Woo - Young Female - Lab Mix
I love this kid.....look at those soulful eyes. Nancy Woo is a young girl no more than just about a year (if that). She is a wonderful dog and very friendly. She would make a great companion or family dog for anyone.
Nancy Woo was pulled from a high volume gassing shelter on the day of our big pull on January 22, 2010. She is just precious and we would love to see her finally have a real home.
Nancy would really do great in any environment. She is easy going and soaks up attention. As you can see from her photos her main objective in life is to be with her humans.

Sigma Kappa - Young Female - Lab/Aussie Mix
I love this girl....she is so beautiful and sweet that I decided to name her after my college sorority. She is stunning in these photos but to see her in person is something else. She is this gorgeous tan with darker tan merle markings and hazel eyes.
Sigma is a party girl....she really likes to be around people and, while she is kind of shy, she is no wallflower. Her pictures tell a story.
This poor kid was was dumped in a high volume gassing facility and we took her on her last day. She was part of our original big pull on the 22nd of January but we actually had to go back and get her because her time was not "up" on the day we went.

Suzie Q - Young Female - Spaniel/Collie Mix
Suzie Q was originally pulled from a high kill shelter in South Carolina with her puppies. Of course her puppies were all adopted but Suzie has not found her forever home yet. Suzie battled demodex mange and has recovered but it is something to be aware of. It is non contagious but dogs can have flare ups which are treated easily but it must be addressed immediately. Some dogs never have a recurrence. Help Save One has taken care of all her treatments and is very determined to find her a place to call her own.
Here's what her foster mom has to say:
Suzie has improved greatly since entering our home. She absolutely loves attention. She gets along great with the kids and my other dogs. She does seem to have some hesitation towards our other female though. Suzie just likes to let everyone know that she is the center of attention. Suzie is crate trained and uses the doggy door. Outdoors is a must for Suzie. A daily walk is required, even if it is cold. She does not have a problem with reminding you that it is walk time. Suzie truly does have a wonderful personality. Her cage seems to be her own little retreat now instead of a jail cell. We even had to put a bed on top because she likes to sit on top and keep an eye on everything. If you are looking for a cuddler than you have found your match. She will be right by your side whether on the couch or in bed. We have been working with her and she has learned to sit, almost got shake, stay, and even knows “out of the kitchen”. I don’t allow our dogs in the kitchen when we are eating and Suzie has learned that very well. We are now working on “mat”. She does like to jump up to greet you at the door so I am trying to teach her to go to her mat and we will come to say “hi”. Suzie would fit into any home environment as long as she gets her proper exercise and attention. I can guarantee that you will wear out before her. Her coat does require brushing. We did try a visit to the groomer to test the experience and she passed with flying colors. To sum it all up, Suzie is like getting a puppy that is already potty trained. She does need to be worked with but strives to please. Just look at that face. How could you resist that face with the tongue hanging out all the time, and it does hang out ALL the time.
Suzie is spayed, fully vetted, UTD on shots, and 100% ready for a home. She is located in Pennsylvania and traveling to pick her up is required.

Baby Girl & Baby Boy - Adult Female & Male - Yorkie/Silky Terrier Mix
These kids were in great hands with a rescue in Texas that needed to close and we took in some of the dogs. These two do not need to be adopted together but it would be great if they did! Baby Boy and Baby Girl are about 4 years old, sweet as can be and love to give kisses!
Baby Boy is more of a lap dog and Baby Girl is a little more energetic! Baby Girl has a smile and her side lip curls up. They are both precious and love everybody and everything. They have had a visit to the salon since these photos.
Both dogs were in a Texas kill shelter - can you imagine?
Help Save One, Inc does not have mandatory adoption fees although we appreciate any donations to help reimburse us for the vetting and transport of your dog. Transport is $175 each as they are not coming from NC but rather Texas. Both are altered, fully vetted, UTD on shots, and are covered by a health certificate for all their worldly travels.

Delta - Adult Male - Husky/German Shepherd Mix
Delta is a beautiful dog....he is also a BIG boy. Delta would fit right in with anyone looking for a large breed dog who is very handsome to boot!
Delta does like other dogs but cats are an unknown. As you can tell from his photos he is also very fond of us humans as well.
This boy has one blue eye and one brown eye making for a unique look. We think he is a Husky/German Shepherd mix.

Kyle - Adult Male - Shepherd Mix
Kyle was found in a church parking lot just loitering and trying to make some friends. Someone picked him up and brought him to animal control in Gaston County but he was pulled out and was in a foster home. Kyle was clearly someone's pet and is well behaved and just stunning in person.
We agreed to take him the day of the pull and anyone who adopted Kyle is going to get a wonderful wonderful dog.
Kyle likes other dogs (cats are an unknown) and also loves people. What more could you ask for? He is also housebroken!

Noah - Young Male - Pittie Mix
This little one is a pittie mix we seen on the day of the large pull on January 22, 2010. At the time we had pulled so many we had to pass by this little guy who was waiting very patiently in his kennel with another smaller puppy. I remember his ears sticking out sideways and thinking "gee I hope he grows into those ears". Then the thought occurred to me: I am in a high kill shelter. This puppy may never get the chance to grow into those ears.
A few days later after we returned home to Rhode island I received a cross posting of this dog saying it was his last day. My heart went all the way to North Carolina and inside that shelter and we pulled him.
Noah is a happy puppy who we think is about 6 months old. Whats kind of unique about Noah is that he is full grown at 22 pounds but has the look of a Pit Bull so if you ever wanted a Pittie but could not handle the size Noah would be perfect!

A few days later after we returned home to Rhode island I received a cross posting of this dog saying it was his last day. My heart went all the way to North Carolina and inside that shelter and we pulled him.

Wiggles - Young Female - Beagle Mix
Wiggles is quite a character...she got her name from the full body wag when she is happy. A friend of ours pulled her when it was clear no one was coming to save Wiggles from the gassing facility she was in. This lady fostered her and we took Wiggles when we went down to Gaston county to pull the dogs from the shelter.
Wiggles would really benefit from a home with another dog as she loves to play, play, and play. Would be great with active kids. Wiggles looks like a puppy but she is actually full grown and about a year old.

Sunshine - Adult Female - Collie/Lab Mix

Nelson - Young Male - Lab Mix
This is Nelson - a little firecracker of a dog.....smaller in size and would make a great companion for a family or a single person who is active.
Sweet as can be Nelson is....we have no idea how he ended up in a shelter.

Hannah Banana - Young Female - Hound Mix
Poor Hannah! She was in terrible shape when we got her. Completely emaciated, just awful. She is a sweet sweet girl who loves everyone. Any potential adopters will need tow ait a few weeks so she can gain some weight, and be spayed before adoption. She is about a year old.
Life has not been kind to Hannah. In some parts of this country hounds are treated like commodities rather than companions. The neglect is clear in the photo below of Hannah which is how she looked a week after pulling her. She is on her road to recovery which included weight gain and a spay. All her other medical needs have been addressed. She is a wonderful dog who deserves more out of life than what she has been given thus far.

Hank - Adult Male - Pit Bull Terrier
I love this kid...he walked out of the shelter like royalty and proceeded to use his big body to block anyone who tried to put him in a crate. It was like a big game to him. He has not an ounce of aggression and is a lover.
Hank shows signs on his body of either abuse or being attacked by other dogs as he does have multiple scars. Nothing has made this big boy take it out on humans or other animals though. He is as sweet as they come.

Maxine "Miss Cookie"" - Senior Female - Black Lab Mix
Meet Maxine, formerly known as Cookie! This sweet lab mix has been given a new name in hopes for a new, wonderful life.
Thankfully, she was one of the dogs pulled from the shelter on Christmas Eve. Her life has been tough, as her picture proves. She was found starving and tied to a tree. The mark on her nose is a scar, yet she is not hand shy. Amazingly, Maxine is still filled with love and affection to give to all. She likes other dogs, too! Although she needs to gain weight, she has made progress since living at her boarder's home. Please open your heart and home to this remarkable dog!
Maxine will come to you UTD on shots, spayed, flea/tick treatment, dewormed, and will travel on a health certificate. Transport is $125.

Big Bertha - Adult Female - Irish Staffie Mix
Bertha wrote a letter recently, and we wanted to share it here:
I am Bertha.
I am a very big girl.
Most people are frightened of me.
They judge me solely by my looks.
Yes I am big.
My name is BIG BERTHA....duh...
I have never had a home to call my own.
My foster mom tries to give me everything to make me feel at home.
She always takes me for rides.
I do not like other dogs.
Sometimes I am unpredictable.
It's not my fault.
I am not a bad girl.
I am a dog who was always behind bars.
How would you feel if you never had a home?
I need a home with only me as a pet.
A strong, stern loving owner(s) who knows what I am and accepts me.
Yes I am part PITTBULL/ BULLDOG.
I am not a small dog.
I won't fit in your purse.
Infact. I will take up the entire front seat of your car...thank you.
I am use to many dogs barking behind there bars.
That is why the way I am.
I have had puppies.
I hope they have found forever homes and not end up back in a HIGH KILL SHELTER.
I was adopted, but they returned me quickly!
They said I was to much Pittbull.
Hello, look at me. How much is too much?
Maybe my ears blindsided them.
I have GINORMOUS ears.
I am part bat you know.
Please if you know someone who can love me forever please let HSO know.
My foster mom says I am very very special.
I can't stay with her because she has 5 dogs of her own.
NO... I do not get along with them either.
Again that is not my fault.
I was always locked up in a kennel down south.
Never knew how I should act.
My foster mom has brought me far from what I use to be.
I whispered to my foster moms ears that there is someone out there for me.
She looks at me as if I am the miracle of life.
I really adore her.
She has shown me what love is.
There is more I need to know, that is why I need my forever home.
I want to know how it is to feel to belong to someone.
I want to be loved till the very end.
I want them by my side, and I want to be by there side through good times and bad.
Unconditional love.
No body is perfect.
I truly believe someone will step forward and adopt me!
Yours Truly,
Bertha Hemeon (till adopted)

Lugar - Adult Male - Australian Shepherd
Update from 2/13/10:
Lugar has come a long way from the shy neglected Aussie that walked off transport last year. He is starting to gain confidence in his foster home. He was treated with heartworm with the doxy/heartguard method so they new owner MUST be super vigilant about always keeping him on heartworm preventative.
He is very sweet and would make someone a nice companion. We will get more information soon from his newer foster home where he is loving life and playing.
From earlier in 2009:
Short term - special needs due to heart worm treatment. Luger was picked up as a stray. He was hanging out in a neighborhood, eating the dog food put out for other people’s dogs. He was a little timid at first, but walks well on a leash. He was a matted mess when he came in, but has been shaved down and although he looks a little lacking in some areas, we know he feels better. I helped shave him and can tell you he is very sweet and never once showed any signs of aggression while doing this. He is a gorgeous chocolate and crème color and weighs around 50 lbs. We were able to raise the funds and pull Luger. He will be on medical hold for several months before he can be adopted. If you are interested let us know.

Toddie - Adult Male - Pug/Terrier Mix
Toddie is such a fabulous little guy. He looks like a pug minus all the wrinkles! Whatever he is, Toddie is just adorable and loving life in his new foster home. Toddie gets along well with other animals and especially loves his people. He would be best suited for a family who wants to shower him with attention and also has very comfortable couches and beds for Toddie to lounge on!
Life has not been really kind to Toddie as he was dumped in a high kill shelter. Might you have some room for Toddie?
He comes with all his shots, neutered, fecal test, heartworm test, flea/tick treatment, dewormed, and health certificate. Transport is $100.

Henderson - Adult Male - Shepherd Mix
Henderson is a really nice dog who needs a break! He was pulled from a high kill shelter in Georgia and is heartworm positive and being treated. He is currently on Doxy/Heartguard treatment and is ready for adoption. Henderson is a good kid and will give any family years of love and loyalty.
Henderson is 2 years old and 52 pounds to give you an idea of his size.

Patrick & Poppy - Adult Female & Male - Boston Terrier/Terrier Mix - MEDICAL HOLD
POPPY
Patrick and Poppy do not need to be adopted together but are siblings. Poppy is a female and Patrick is the male. Both are around 23 pounds and are well behaved and very good dogs.
It is really hard to judge exactly what breed they are but their marking and pointy ears (and small size) point towards a Boston Terrier mix but I would say they are truly a mixed breed.
These two can absolutely be adopted separately but they do get along and enjoy each others company. They are 18 months old.
Poppy & Patrick will come to you UTD on shots, spayed/neutered, flea/tick treatment, dewormed, and will travel on a health certificate. Transport is $125 each.

Halden - Adult Male - Lab/Shepherd Mix
Halden is a gorgeous male dog who is 2 years old and weighs about 55 pounds. He is somewhat skittish and needs extra TLC, stability, and patience. I would not suggest him with young children due to the fact that he is skittish and children may frighten him or make him nervous.
He is listed as a Lab/Shepherd mix but he looks like he might have Husky in there too. Halden really needs a good home or a foster. Can you help?

Hawk - Adult Male - Shepherd/Red Heeler Mix
Hawk's photo is a little deceiving - he is good size dog weighing in at about 57 pounds and he is a sweet dog. He looks a little disgruntled in his photo.
Hawk would be a great dog for anyone and loves to play and go for long walks and runs. If you live an active lifestyle and are looking for a good size dog who has alot to offer please consider Hawk. he is still young at only 2 years old. He deserves a good life.

Heath - Young Male - Black Lab Mix
This silly kid likes to stand on his dog house and look at the scenery. Heath is a great dog who is going to make someone really happy. He is only a year and a half old and weighs about 38 pounds so he is on the smaller side.
Heath looks to be a lab mixed and possibly could have some Pit Bull in him as his body structure is very muscular. He is a great looking dog with lots of love and affection to give. Can you offer him a foster or forever home?

Hampton - Adult Male - Lab/Shepherd Mix
Hampton's photo just does him NO justice. He is hard to photograph because he wags his tail excessively and is so happy he closes his eyes and opens his mouth whenever a human approaches. This big kid is just full of love.
Hampton got passed over in the shelter because he is a brindle mixed breed dog. Make no mistake he is beautiful inside and out and has MUCH to offer. Can you give him a foster or forever home?
