Rodney BAS Hound & Boxer Mix Lenoir, NC

Rodney has a sense of humor. Like his namesake, Rodney Dangerfield, he "gets no respect". He was rescued from the county animal control in July 2022 and is in search of a partner who will enjoy his comedy routine.

With a guesstimated birthday in May 2017, Rodney weighs about 50 lb.

Rodney is a very affectionate, loving pup who would like nothing more than to curl up in his human's lap. He has been working on his leash manners and has made remarkable progress. He is calm on car rides, but doesn't eagerly load up to go places. He isn't difficult to coax into the car, just doesn't leap in confidently yet. He wants to be where his people are, though, so this will come with repeated adventures.

Rodney is dog-friendly, but does not enjoy the company of pushy or younger dogs with limited social skills. In those instances, he prefers to keep to himself or hang out with other calm dogs.

**********

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. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

This adoptable pup is being housed at our Bunch Anderson Shelter Building (BAS) in Lenoir and can be seen most Saturdays from 12 -3 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.FoothillsCanineRescue.org.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue with a few of our sweet ones in our shelter located next to Waggin' Tail Resale & Marketplace (220 Joyceton Church Road) in Lenoir. We receive no funding from agencies.
