Meet An Adoptable Dog

Date into Rescue:  10/3/25

Reason for being in rescue:  Stray in NC via the shelter system

Special Needs: Dewey is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Dewey was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on him. Our best guess is that he is a poodle mix - only a DNA test will tell. We cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won'd shed.

What kind of home would be best for me: Dewey’s the kind of dog who can make you laugh without even trying, with his silly expressions, bouncy energy, and never-ending enthusiasm for life. We have no doubt he’d love a home with kids to run around and play with — the more chaos, the better! Having another dog in the home would be a plus. What Dewey really wants is a human. He's not suited for living with shared walls (apartments, townhomes, etc.) as he talks to you when you leave the room and will sing when he's alone. He's more of a go-everywhere-with-you sort of companion.

What is my personality like: Meet Dewey — the Zoomie King! If life had a fast-forward button, Dewey would be holding it down! This goofy, lovable poodle mix seems to have one speed — top speed — and he’s always ready for his next grand adventure. Whether it’s chasing a ball, zipping around the yard, or running joyful laps for absolutely no reason, Dewey is all about go, go, go!

Dewey LOVES his doggy friends — seriously, they’re his favorite thing in the world (right after snacks and zoomies). He loves people, too — the more, the merrier! Dewey is up for anything active - long hikes, dog park adventures, spontaneous sprints through the yard — you name it, he’s in. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and brings a burst of joy wherever he goes.

If you’re looking for a four-legged comedian, exercise partner, and all-around fun factory, Dewey’s your guy. Just make sure you can keep up — because slowing down isn’t really his thing!

How do I act when I first meet new people: Dewey will bound into the room ready to play. Seriously - this boy has never met a stranger!

Tips and Tidbits: Dewey was found as a stray. We have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he's estimated around 1 year old. We celebrate his birthday 09/23/24.

House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
