Please take a moment and read this, it's well worth it:
We are a Non-Profit State Licensed Rescue called the H A R T Foundation in Lexington,NC. We have many dogs who are in desperate need of a home. Several of these dogs(some who are medium-large) have been here for atleast a year, some more then a year. And the only reason being is because the right family hasn't came looking for them yet. One of the main reasons for this is that larger dogs are not adopted often because most people don't want to worry about the size. When in fact alot of times larger dogs can be better dogs then small dogs, only because they are normally more carefree and laid back. We have Small, Medium and Large dogs for adoption. We are trying to find these dogs loving and responsible homes, so that they get a good life, and so that we can take in other dogs who are needing homes.
These dogs are all very sweet, and loving. Most of them will walk on a leash as well. Some of them enjoy playing with plush toys, some with balls, some just want love & tlc. Each one has their own preference.
In order to be considered to adopt a dog, we only require you fill out an application. We will then review over your application. If your approved we will contact you to set up an appointment for you to come visit the dog. If your not approved we will simply contact you and let you know. Sometimes we will make a suggestion on a dog we think would work better for you, if we have one that fits. Then you could let us know if you simply weren't interested in that dog, or if you maybe willing to visit him/her.
We have many dogs up for adoption. The adoption process is simple. The one New Years Resolution these dogs have, is a home. We are doing our best to see they get this, now we just need responsible loving homes to finish the rest. Please help them out! They didn't deserve to be dumped, neglected, and any other things that have happened to them. We always tell the dogs that they are just there(at the rescue) for a pitstop on the road to a new home.
If you do not agree with spaying and neutering of dog or puppy please do not submit an application. You must be in agreement with the spaying and neutering policies of H A R T Foundation in order to be able to adopt a dog.
Spaying and neutering of pups can be done through H A R T Foundation’s vet at a very reasonable charge. It must be scheduled through H A R T Foundation. You must make arrangements with Amy at H A R T Foundation in order to schedule spaying/neutering.

About our Cafepress: You can purchase many different things with a portion of the proceeds going to H A R T. Just a few things that are listed are: Greeting Card(singles, or packages), Calendar, Mug, T-shirt,etc. Purchasing anything from our Cafepress store will mean that HART will receive a portion of the proceeds from each item bought.
We are in need of volunteers. No matter how old or young, we can use volunteers for many different tasks at the rescue. From walking dogs, washing kennels, washing feed buckets/water pails, feeding dogs, and many other various chores at the kennel. The biggest thing needed is time spent with the dogs. Even if you only have 30 minutes to spend, if you could come out and just sit with a dog for 30 minutes. Just to help socialize and make them better pets. They can never have to much human handling. Even if they are already very socialized they love any and all attention given.
If you are interested in one of the dogs available for adoption, please be sure to email us your application (which can be found on our website), and then we will review over your application and get back with you .
We do adopt out of state! You can pick up your new best friend, or we can provide you with information on getting your pal hand delivered to some places along the east coast for an additonal fee. (We do not ship, because of too much stress being placed on the animal.)
Now you can donate funds to H A R T over the web through our new Paypal account! Thanks to all who have donated of their time, items needed, and funds to help out with vet visits, spay/neuter, heartworm treatments, food, etc.!

Adopting a friend
In order to adopt a Puppy or Dog from HART we require that an adoption application be filled out and sent to us. You can get the application from our website, or email us and we can email you one. Once we recieve the application Amy will review over it as soon as possible, and then we will be in contact with you to let you know whether you are approved or not. If you are approved we will then let you set up a time that is convenient for you as well as Amy, and you'll be allowed to come look at the pup/dog your interested in adoption.
Adoption fees vary for each pet. Upon decision to adopt a dog, you will be required to sign an adoption contract, if adopting a pup you will be required to agree to the spaying/neutering of the pup once it's of age.
