Adelaide Australian Shepherd Mix Lenoir, NC

Adelaide was pulled from our local animal control in June 2024.

With a guesstimated birthdate in Aug. 2023, she weighed about 25 lbs. at her health exam in June 2024.

Adie is shy but warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. She is sweet and affectionate.

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

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations and deworming if recommended by our vet. Adult dogs will have current heartworm test. Additional fees for refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies. Available BAS animals can be seen most Saturdays at our Bunch Anderson Shelter (BAS) in Lenoir from noon to 3:00 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 FoothillsCanineRescue.org.
