Wendy Hound & Shepherd Mix Lenoir, NC

This litter was orphaned and had to be bottle fed. They were abandoned in a box on their rescuer's porch by a Captain Hook type. Each is snuggly sweet and praying for their own family to protect them from crocodiles.

With a guesstimated birthday of May 4, 2023, at 6 weeks the biggest baby weighed 6.5 lb. We have no idea who their parents are so are guessing as adults they'll be in the under 50 lb range.

Having been bottle fed, they're used to being held and seek attention from people. They're used to being in a crate overnight. They're working on leash-training and recall. Their house-manners are typical puppy.

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.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events, held most Saturdays at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC 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.FoothillsCanineRescue.org.
