Fursday: Meet Relish from Second Chance!
Can you believe it? Relish, the handsome tennis ball-loving boy, is still waiting for his forever home! This 4-year-old sweetheart is overflowing with love and affection. Whether he’s by your side, snuggled up close, or walking alongside you, Relish is always ready to be your loyal companion. Despite his past hardships, Relish’s spirit remains unbroken. He’s a survivor, and his capacity for love knows no bounds. He adores people of all ages, especially older kids, and he’s ready to shower his new family with endless affection.
Relish would thrive in an active household where he can enjoy outdoor adventures but also relish in some quality couch cuddle time. However, he does prefer to be the only pet in the house, as he likes to have all the attention to himself. This resilient pup has overcome so much, and now he’s eagerly awaiting the chance to fill a home with joy and love. Could you be the one to give Relish the forever home he deserves? Reach out to us to learn more about this sweet, loving boy and how you can make him a part of your family!

Fursday: Meet Marty from APS of Durham!
Bring Marty to your party! A fan favorite, silly, curious, and playful guy, this pup is sure to win over the heart of any crowd. He’s an enthusiastic goof who LOVES toys, treats, and affection. Marty would benefit from someone who can keep up with his fun energy, but it’s nothing out of the dog-gone-ordinary. This cowboy has been in a home setting before, but his most recent owner faced some housing challenges that led him back to our program. Marty would love to meet you and win you over, we’re sure of it.
Kids: 10+, high energy, jumpy, will steal kids’ toys
Dogs: Rowdy and loves to rough and tumble, needs someone that can match his energy. Would recommend a dog to dog.
