Meet Maiden

Maiden is part of the NC Towns pack that was surrendered by their owner. She was in the hospital, with possible extended rehabilitation. Her neighbors were caring for these babies, but they've been outside running in the neighborhood. Family supported her in the difficult decision to rehome responsibly.

With a guesstimated birthday in Dec. 2018, Maiden weighs about 9 lb. She is treat motivated, but doesn't prefer to be held at this time

Maiden is a sweet and affectionate girl. Since she has been running loose for much of her life, she is nervous in new situations. She is learning that new sights, scents, sounds, and strangers are curious rather than scary. In order to get to those adventures, she has to ride in a car and is becoming less nervous She's adjusting to being primarily in a home which means leash walks. She understands crates and is most comfortable in a 36".

We've included a picture of mom, Lenoir.

**********

April 2020: We are not holding public adoption events until further notice. Qualified families are being invited to appointments to meet specific dogs. There are currently no opportunities to view multiple dogs and adoption events aren't being held at Tractor Supply in Lenoir.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations plus spay / neuter if using our local low-cost spay/neuter clinic (overnight stay required) and surgery occurs as agreed upon in the adoption contract. Convenience fee equal to refundable spay/neuter deposit may be required if, using our veterinarian or same-day surgery, service is scheduled through our organization. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies. Available animals can be seen most Saturdays at Tractor Supply in Lenoir from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.petpartnersrescue.org.
