Binx

Meet Binx, a senior dog that seems to have been through it all. Now, the only thing this sweet senior guy wants is a forever home to call his own.
 
Binx was picked up as a stray in Eastern North Carolina. When the shelter called CCBTR they told us that this guy seemed to be in pretty rough shape. He had a hole in his ear the size of a pencil hole. His teeth were ground down close to his gums. His face and head were covered in injuries that appeared to be from fighting. His right eye had been surgically removed and he doesn’t seem to see very well out of the left eye.
 
Everyone assumed that he would also have a “bad” attitude. Not so. Binx is a loving, sweet dog that really wants to please his people. He is fine with female dogs but is apprehensive about male dogs. These attributes make us think that, at some time in his life, Binx lived with people who loved him and cared for him.
 
So what happened to this boy? We just don’t know. Was he a bait dog? His fear or apprehension with male dogs makes this seem likely. Did he get lost from his people? Did he get stolen from his people? We just don’t know.
 
 
 
 
 
 
What we do know about Binx is that he is a good, good boy. He has adjusted well to foster care. His foster Mom says that he has learned his routine very well and even “puts himself to bed” (in his crate) at the same time each evening.
 
 
 
 
Binx is house trained but still requires guidance. He keeps his bed dry all night, he knows how to use the doggie door in his foster home, and if taken out on a consistent basis he does not have accidents in the house.
 
 
Do you, or someone you know, have the love and compassion to give this guy a chance at happiness for the rest of his life? If you do, please fill out an adoption application for Binx. He’s waiting to hear all about you.

Bryce



















Bryce is a beautiful 8 yr old Boston terrier that was turned into the shelter by his family.


Did you have bacon?
 
Bryce loves his people and has a strong desire to please them.  He is tolerant and playful with subtle, submissive dogs that do not challenge him.  He prefers female dogs to males.  What we have learned about Bryce while he has been in foster dog care is that he is fearful of dogs that challenge him or try to engage him.  He is fearful of dogs that are excited or display dominant behaviors. 

 
Bryce is currently undergoing professional behavior training on site at a training facility.  This training will help alleviate his fear of other dogs and enable him to live peacefully in a forever home with a human that acts as his pack-leader.  

 
Although Bryce is a normal, playful and loving BT in all other ways, he will never be the dog that does well at a dog park or enjoys shopping in Petsmart.  However, Bryce IS the dog that will love his family and be loyal to them forever.  Bryce would love a fenced yard where he can wander peacefully enjoying the sun knowing that his yard is his safe place.    





We are looking for a very special home for Bryce.  ARE YOU this home?

Ty, the adorable adoptable retriever mix.

Yea he's definitely not a Boston but he needs a home and who am I to be turn down a dog in need. 


Ty is a very sweet dog, came right too my friend and hopped right up into the car. He does great with other dogs, good with kids, is calm but loves to give kisses and stand on his hind legs to say hello.

He does have separation anxiety and is currently trying out meds ($32/mo) to help calm him down when his people leave. Only gets into trouble when he is left alone, then he becomes a professional escape artist. He absolutely does not like to be locked in small spaces.

 He will need someone who can spend a lot of time with him. When he's around his people he has wonderful manners and is a very good boy. He will not run away off leash but he will wander when curious. He will be neutered on August 19th, is currently taking Trifexis, and was treated for round worms.

He is also being treated for ehrlichia, which is a tick born illness. If money permits, we will be doing a blood panel to make sure it hasn't affected his kidneys or other organs. Also, the vet says he's approximately two years old.
