Elizabeth 's Story

Meet Elizabeth 🤍 Elizabeth is the sweetest 10-year-old senior pittie in Charlotte, NC. Raised from a 8 week old puppy, she lived a wonderful, stable life until December 2024, when her world changed overnight. Due to personal family circumstances, Elizabeth was surrendered to Gilmore Dog Rescue. She was understandably heartbroken, but thankfully she landed in an incredible permanent foster home that gave her the time, structure, and love she needed to heal and thrive. Fast forward to today, December 2025. Elizabeth’s foster family is now relocating out of the country, and once again, through no fault of her own, she needs a new place to land. Elizabeth’s fosters have been absolutely amazing and have set her up for success. Now we are looking for a foster or adopter who can help her continue living out her golden years feeling safe, loved, and secure. Elizabeth is: • Spayed • Up to date on all medical care • Cat friendly • People friendly • Great with kids ages 6 and up • Dog friendly, but will need slow introductions and time to decompress Elizabeth is a beautiful white pittie, which means she does have allergies. She is highly allergic to chicken and must remain on a special diet to keep her healthy and comfortable. Her foster family is moving on January 8th, and we urgently need a foster or adopter to step up so Elizabeth does not have to face another major disruption. We are a foster-based rescue, and without fosters, we cannot continue saving dogs like Elizabeth. If you can help or want to learn more, please email me directly: 📧 Shelley@gilmoredogrescue.com www.gilmoredogrescue.com Adoption fee is $250 Thank you for sharing Elizabeth and helping us keep her safe. 🤍

Gilmore Gardens Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

We do things a little differently at Gilmore Dog Rescue! Instead of a traditional application, we use a simple intake form and a foster waiver (release of liability) to get started. Here’s how to become the proud new parent of one of our beloved Gilmore Guests: 1. Schedule a Meet & Greet *must live in Charlotte, NC**** Reach out via email or text to set up a meet and greet with Antonio, Shelley, or the foster parent of the dog you’re interested in. We require an in-home visit to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for the dog. Before your visit, please email your veterinary reference(s) to shelley@gilmoredogrescue.com ******** Once Shelley approves your references and the dog is comfortable in your home, you’ll move into the Foster-to-Adopt stage. 2. Foster-to-Adopt Trial This trial period gives everyone—humans and pups—a chance to make sure it’s the right fit. It’s especially important if there are other pets, children, or elderly family members in the home. ****We do not allow same-day adoptions. Every dog must go through this foster process to help ensure it’s a forever home. 3. Final Adoption The length of the foster trial varies and will be discussed with a Gilmore Dog Rescue representative based on the dog’s needs and your situation. Once you’re fully committed to adoption, a representative will return for a final wellness check. The adoption fee is $250, and Shelley will send over the final adoption paperwork for legal transfer. And just like that, you’re officially a Gilmore Dog parent!
