Drake Pit Bull Terrier & Chow Chow Mix Newport, NC

Meet this sweet sweet guy named Drake! He came into the shelter along with his brother Troubles on February 26, 2024 when their owner had too many animals and could no longer care for them. They came in scared and unsure of shelter life but are settling in better everyday. Drake instantly would come to you to loving and affection and his hair should start filling in where it’s missing or thin. He is 1 year old, current on shots, and just a fun guy to be around (may be shy initially but once he knows you)…you’ll be blessed with love from Drake. With a little time, patience, guidance, and love Drake will thrive and mature into an even more amazing adult dog. He’s a great sized boy who is smart and excited to have his very own loving FOREVER home! Maybe you?!
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
