❤️ SAFE ❤️ Thank you Kal's Pals Animal Rescue

Jaqueline is a 2-year-old, 18-pound intact female terrier mix who was surrendered to the shelter through no fault of her own and is now in need of rescue placement. When she arrived, Jaqueline was extremely matted and clearly in need of grooming. Our staff shaved her down to help her feel more comfortable, and she handled her haircut very well.

Jaqueline is heartworm positive and will need a rescue to provide the treatment and care she deserves. The shelter environment is a bit overwhelming for her, so she can be shy and scared right now. Despite this, she has been very sweet with staff and allowed handling without any issues. She also did great during her medical work-up.

Jaqueline would benefit greatly from a calm rescue environment where she can decompress, receive heartworm treatment, and start the next chapter of her life. With a little patience and love, we believe her personality will continue to blossom.

Jaqueline has received her DHLPP, BORDETELLA AND RABIES VACCANATIONS. She has a $25 pull fee and must have commitment by 3-16-26.Please email all questions and commitments to Ross.mullis@unioncounty.go

Meet Scrappy is a 10-year-old, 10-pound intact male Chihuahua mix who is looking for a rescue to give him the second chance he deserves. This little guy is heartworm negative and has a wonderfully sweet, social, and friendly personality. He enjoys attention and does well meeting new people.

Scrappy does have some worn or missing front teeth, which is common for small senior dogs, but it does not slow him down or affect his loving nature. He would benefit from a rescue that can provide him with any dental care he may need and help him enjoy his golden years in comfort.

Despite his age, Scrappy still has plenty of love to give and would make a wonderful companion. He just needs a rescue willing to step up and give this sweet senior the care and safe landing he deserves.

Scrappy is heart worm negative and has received his BORDETELLA,DHLPP, and RABIES VACCANATIONS. He has a $25 pull fee and must have a commitment by 3-13-26. Please email all questions and commitments to Ross.mullis@unioncountync.gov

❤️ SAFE ❤️ Thank you South Charlotte Dog Rescue

Willow is a 1½-year-old, 9-pound intact female Shih Tzu who is looking for a rescue to give her the care and patience she deserves. She came to the shelter as a stray, and sadly no one ever came forward to reclaim her.

Willow is a very shy little girl, but she is gentle and tolerant. She allows staff to handle her and did well during her medical workup. With a calm environment and a little time to build confidence, we believe her sweet personality will continue to shine through.

Willow is heartworm negative. She does appear to have an issue with her left eye, and our vet tech suspects it could possibly be dry eye, so she would benefit from a rescue that can provide a full veterinary evaluation and any treatment she may need.

This tiny girl just needs a safe place and someone willing to help her feel secure and loved. If your rescue can help Willow, please reach out.

Willow has received her BORDETELLA, DHLPP, and RABIES VACCANATIONS. She has a $25 pull fee and must have a commitment by 3-16-26. Please email all questions and commitments to Ross.mullis@unioncountync.gov

Meet Bubba, a 3-year-old intact pit bull male weighing 60 pounds who is looking for a rescue or approved adopter. He deserves a second chance. Bubba came to the shelter as a stray and sadly no one ever came looking for him. 🥺💔

Bubba is heartworm negative and appears to be a healthy, happy boy! 🙌🏼 He gets along great with other dogs 🐶❤️🐶. He already knows basic commands, which shows he has likely had some training and time in a home. 🐕‍🦺🔖 Bubba enjoys attention from people and has a friendly, easygoing personality. ✨

He would likely do best in a home without cats. 🚫🐈

Bubba is ready to leave the shelter and start a new chapter with a rescue or approved adopter who can give him the love and stability he deserves. If you can help Bubba, please reach out to pull or adopt this sweet boy. Pledges for neuter helpful! 🎾🎾✂️

Jack is a 6–7-month-old domestic short-haired intact male cat weighing about 6 pounds who is in need of a rescue to provide the veterinary care he deserves. Jack was surrendered to the shelter after the owner stated they are having a baby and moving and unfortunately could not keep him.

Jack appears to be missing one of his eyes, but it does not seem to bother him and he gets around well despite it. According to the owner, he has been like this since he first showed up at their home months ago. While he has managed so far, he will need a rescue to pull him so he can receive proper veterinary evaluation and care for the missing eye to ensure he stays comfortable and healthy.

Jack is still very young and has plenty of life ahead of him. With the help of a rescue and veterinary care, he has a great chance at a happy future.

Jack is looking for a rescue partner willing to step up and give him the medical care and second chance he deserves. Jack has no pull fee and must have a commitment by March 13th, 2026. Please email all questions and commitments to Ross.mullis@unioncountync.gov

🆘 ‼️ URGENT: Deadline Friday, March 13

Meet Gloria! ✨❤️ She is a 4-year-old, 40-pound mixed breed SPAYED female in need of rescue placement.

She was surrendered because she was too energetic for the family’s small children. Gloria is a happy girl who would do best in an active home and perhaps one with a doggie playmate. 🦮🏃‍♀️

She is very sweet, loves people, and gets along well with other dogs. 🐶❤️🐶 Gloria has a friendly, social personality and truly enjoys attention.

Gloria is heartworm negative. Why does she need rescue? She has “happy tail,” where constant wagging has caused repeated injury to the tip of the tail. Due to the ongoing trauma and difficulty healing in a kennel environment, she MAY require a partial tail amputation. This is surgery beyond what can be easily recovered at the shelter. A rescue partner can get further veterinary evaluation and treatment or surgery.

Please let us know if your rescue can help this sweet, happy girl get the second chance she deserves. Gloria has received her DHLPP, BORDETELLA, and RABIES vaccinations and needs a commitment by March 13th 2026.

❤️ ADOPTED ❤️

Meet Pancake. 🥞❤️ He is a 1½-year-old, 46-pound intact male pit bull who is in need of rescue or an approved adopter. He came to the Shelter as a stray, and sadly no owner ever came forward to claim him.

Pancake is an incredibly sweet, affectionate boy who truly enjoys being around people. He has a gentle, loving, fun personality and seeks out attention from staff. He is young, eager, and would thrive in a home where he can get the stability and care he deserves. 🏡✨

Pancake does have some areas where his hair appears to have been clipped prior to arriving at the shelter. ✂️🤔 However, his skin looks healthy and there are no signs of irritation, infection, or underlying issues. At this time, there are no medical concerns noted.

Pancake did really well for his temperament test with another male and female dog; he tried to initiate playtime with both! 🐶❤️🐶 He is very interested in cats and we do not believe a cat would be just as interested in playing with him. 😊 So safe to say , a cat free home is best!

Pancake is simply waiting for a rescue or an approved adopter to step up and give him the fresh start he deserves. He is a wonderful dog with so much love to give and would make an amazing companion.

If you can help Pancake, please contact us. He is ready for his second chance.

Pancake has received his Bordetella, DHLPP, and Rabies vaccinations and is heart worm negative and he needs commitment by March 5th 2026.

Meet Stuart! ❤️ He is a 2-year-old, 59-pound intact male Labrador mix with a gentle heart. He was found as a stray with a large, heavy chain still attached to his collar. ⛓️😭 This a heartbreaking sign of the life he may have known. Despite that, Stuart has remained sweet and trusting with staff.

No owner ever came forward for him, and now this young boy is waiting for someone to give him the fresh start he deserves. ✨🙌🏼

Stuart has tested Heartworm positive and will need a rescue for medical treatment. 🩺🏥 He is still so young and has so much life ahead of him. With proper medical care and a loving home, Stuart will thrive.

He is a handsome Lab mix with a kind and a resilient spirit. Stuart deserves more than a kennel — he deserves comfort, stability, and the chance to finally be someone’s cherished companion. ❤️

Please consider pledging or fostering Stuart and giving him the opportunity to leave his past behind and start a new chapter filled with care and compassion. 📖🏡🐶
