Furry Friday: Meet Sadie!
Meet Sadie the Lady, a 2-year-old 45 lb pointer mix looking for her forever home. This sweet and spicy diva has a heart of gold! She is a total lovebug and once she bonds with you, she will be your loyal companion for life. If you’re looking for a rescue dog to spoil, Sadie is the lady for you.
Sadie is the perfect mix of playful and couch potato. She needs to play daily but also enjoys lounging on the couch and cuddling with her favorite human. Sadie’s ideal home will include someone who works from home or spends a lot of time there, just because she really loves her people. If left at home she does not prefer a crate but will be on her best behavior waiting on the couch for your return.
Sadie is fully potty trained and can get a little overexcited on a leash walk, but responds well to training from her patient and consistent human. She is super smart and a quick learner! Sadie would do best with a submissive dog where she can be the boss but would also be happy to be the only dog. No cats please. Sudden movements can make her nervous so humans 12 and over would be best.
If you are looking for a loyal, loving, sweet, silly and sassy companion, Sadie is the perfect match for you. Please give this lovable pup the patience and chance for a loving home she deserves. This dog is currently in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you’re interested in learning more about Sadie, please email [email protected] with the subject line of “Sadie 246564”.

Furry Friday: Meet Franklin!
Franklyn is a one year old, medium energy boy! He gets excited when you come to his kennel, but volunteers say he is easy to collar and walk on the leash. He does pull at times, especially when he’s caught a scent and is on sniff patrol!
During doggie playgroups, Franklyn paired up nicely with a high energy female playmate and seemed to enjoy the tango together!
This good boy gets to go on adventures with our volunteers! On his latest outing to the park, it was noted that he rides very well in the car and on the hiking trails, he loves to sniff and explore all things. He would do best with humans who can match his need for outdoor adventures. He is quite the messy pup-cup eater though so be sure to get lots of napkins! Franklyn loves to smile and have a good time, come and meet your new best friend!
Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $600 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.
If you’re interested in learning more about Franklyn, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Franklyn 255128.”
Franklyn is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.

Furry Friday: Meet Roger!
Meet Roger, an amazingly sweet 8-year-old Lab Retriever mix who truly deserves a peaceful and loving home to spend his senior years. He’s been through a lot-Roger was found outside the Animal Center, running around with another dog, both injured. They had a bit of a tiff once inside, but we’re not sure how long they had been loose together. Since then, Roger’s wounds have healed, and he’s had the chance to decompress. Now, his true personality is shining through, and he’s ready for a fresh start!
Roger is always excited for walks, following his nose and taking in the world around him. In the play yard, he’s surprisingly spry for his age, happily galloping around like a much younger dog. But after his playful moments, he always returns to your side, looking for some love and affection. Roger loves leaning against your legs for a hug and has been great about wearing a harness. When we first introduced him to playgroups, he was a bit nervous and unsure at first. He has been respectful and well-mannered with other calm dogs, but seems nervous around dogs who want to play too physically.
Roger is now ready to find a loving family who appreciates his gentle, senior personality and is ready to offer him the comfort and care he deserves in his golden years. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will shower you with affection, Roger might just be your perfect match!

Furry Friday: Meet Ray J!
Ray J already neutered and READY TO GO HOME!!! This guy is a handsome 7-year-old dog who’s ready to be your loyal companion! Ray J came in as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past, but he’s a mellow guy with a calm, friendly demeanor. He’s easy to leash, doesn’t react to the barking dogs on his way outside, and loves to walk and explore by your side. While he may pull a little on the leash, he’s low-energy and easygoing, making him a great walking partner.
Volunteers say that he is a delight! Ray J knows how to sit and takes treats gently, showing his polite side. During doggie playgroups, it was determined that he needs to be the only dog in the house. Come meet Ray J, see his charming smile, and start your adventures together!
Ray J has surprised our volunteers with his squirrel-like tendencies to save some treats for later. He will occasionally carry a treat in his mouth until he finds the perfect place to cache it (https://youtube.com/shorts/wC71iKJaJFA?feature=share). If you’re a fan of buried treasure, Ray J may be the pup for you!
If you’re interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Ray J 254583”.
He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and already neutered. If you have cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.

Furry Friday: Meet Desmond!
Desmond is a 4-year-old male dog with a calm, friendly personality and a love for the outdoors. Though he gets excited to head outside, he settles quickly and is easy to leash. He has no problem walking past other dogs and enjoys sniffing and exploring his surroundings. Out on walks, Desmond is happy and social, often wanting to greet other dogs he encounters. Not particularly food-motivated, he does accept treats once he’s back in his kennel. Desmond is currently on Omega fish oil to support his skin health (not contagious) as he needs a bit of extra nourishment. He’s a fantastic walker, making him an ideal choice for anyone who enjoys daily walks and would like a loyal companion by their side.
During doggie playgroups, Desmond was a riot! From the first minute in the yard, he let it be known that he was there to ROCK OUT! He ran, chased, wrestled, and seemed to love interacting with the other dogs. He played with females and males, and he seemed to believe that he was King for the Day! He had an absolute blast.
Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $600 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.

Furry Friday: Meet Chucky!
Meet Chucky 254527, a 1-year-old male pup with 44 lbs. of pure fun and energy! This adorable stray is full of personality, and just wait until you see his ears-they both lean to one side, giving him the cutest, windswept look.
During playgroups, this kiddo came in 100mph. He doesn’t have many manners and was jumping all over another dog. While he doesn’t mean any harm, his playstyle might not be every dog’s cup of tea.
Chucky gets super excited when it’s time to go outside, jumping around and eager to be leashed. Chucky is on the potty-trained list, keeping his kennel clean, and he knows “sit” and takes treats gently, which makes training a breeze. Fun-loving, playful, and curious, this sweet guy would be a perfect match for an active family or person who can help him channel all that puppy energy.
Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $400 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.

Furry Friday: Meet Jolly Rancher!
This sweet senior guy, who came in as a stray. Jolly Rancher is a yellow lab with a sugar sprinkled muzzle who is looking for his forever family to live out his golden years in comfort.
Jolly Rancher has a lot of pep for an 8 year old. He is easy to collar and is excited to get outside. In true lab fashion, he is a leader so he tends to pull a little on leash because he is ready for adventure! He also loves love and affirmation from the volunteers which helps build his confidence and gives him comfort. He will lean in for hugs and may whine to show his need for companionship. He is on the potty trained list because he keeps his kennel clean. As he transitions to a home, please remember that potty training will need to be reinforced in a new environment with your schedule.
If you have a soft spot for those sweet gray muzzles and those yellow labs, come in and meet Jolly Rancher today! He just may be the sweet treat you’re looking for.
If you’re interested in learning more about Jolly Rancher, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Jolly Rancher 257111.”

Furry Friday: Meet Bruiser!
Bruiser is a medium-energy male dog who is calm and easy to leash. He takes treats gently and knows how to sit. While he has a moderate reaction to other dogs, his strong treat motivation will make training easier. He constantly demonstrates that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Bruiser’s gentle nature and eagerness to learn makes him a great companion for someone willing to continue his training journey.
Bruiser is such a good boy, our volunteers occasionally take him to the park! They say he is good in the car and his favorite thing to do at the park is sit on the bench and watch the world go by. Despite his size, he believes he is a lap dog, but he is also content to sit next to you and give you kisses. He is sweet, mature, and very well behaved – a true gentleman.
During playgroups, the volunteers noted that his white face may suggest SENIOR, but his spirit was SPUNK. Bruiser came rushing in full speed and ready to play. He is a high energy, eager player who really loved some rough and tumble play. Would suggest matching him with a tolerant female with a similar energy, because he could overwhelm a gentler dog.
If you’re interested in learning more about Bruiser, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Bruiser 253531.”

Furry Friday: Meet Santana!
Meet Santana, an incredible survivor! He was found in a Walmart parking lot in critical condition, his life hanging by a thread. He was later diagnosed with Babesia, a serious tick-borne illness, and thankfully received the treatment needed & made an incredible recovery. He loves going to his physical therapy appointments where he is an aquatic treadmill superstar and gets an endless supply of pets and Easy Cheese.
In his foster home, Santana has flourished. This boy is a snuggle enthusiast, always ready to soak up affection. While cuddles and napping are his top priorities, he’s also a big fan of treats and never misses an opportunity for a snack. We affectionately refer to him as a ten-pound potato since he loves being on the couch so much, and thinks he fits in your lap! He also loves his peanut butter Kong and playing in leaf piles. Santana went to one agility class and now thinks he is a border collie…so he would love to show off his “moves” to you sometime, but please don’t tell him how clumsy and awkward he is, we don’t want to dim his shine! He must never know he’s actually just a bowling ball.
He is currently heartworm positive but has received his treatment and is responding well to it! Once he is healed, he would love to get back to going on walks and sniffing everything that the outdoors has to offer.
Santana is up to date on shots & preventatives and is microchipped and neutered. He is crate trained and has made impressive strides with his potty training. If you already have pets at home, we recommend introducing them to Santana gradually over time. He is currently in a foster home with two chill female dogs and doing wonderfully with a slow integration and shares the couch very nicely with his foster sisters. For households with children, Santana has done well with respectful kids over age 7, but supervision between animals and kids is always recommended.
Santana is currently in a foster home. To set up a meeting with his foster parents or to learn more, email [email protected] with the subject line “Santana 246899”.
