CrisisDogsNC

CrisisDogsNC is a foster-based, 501 (c) (3) non-profit founded in 2017 by journalist and author Judith Reitman Texier whose investigative articles garnered international awards and prompted changes in animal welfare laws. She created the Organization in response to North Carolina’s euthanasia rate which is among the highest in the country and to many of its shelters’ methods of euthanasia that are so inhumane they are outlawed in most other states.​We rescue dogs from kill shelters, substandard backyard breeders, hoarders, and from chains. We provide full medical care, foster homes, and transport by land and air through our partnership with PilotsNPaws to fully screened and qualified adopters all along the East Coast.​What distinguishes us from other rescues is our focus on the relationship between the rescued dog and the new family. By understanding your lifestyle and expectations, as well as the personalities of our rescue dogs, we can make a compatible match for a lifelong bond. We are in it for the life of the dog. At any point after adoption, if the adopter's situation changes for whatever reason, we will always accept the dog back into the rescue.

Meet Finn

Finn is a two-year-old, sixty-five-pound, German Shepherd.  Finn is good with other dogs, good with cats, and good with Mature kids ten and over. Finna was kept in a small crate for most of his life and abused so that he is very timid around adults but wants to be close. This gorgeous pure shepherd is slowly learning to trust adults at his temporary foster who rescued him from the cage and reached out to us for help. Finn's Foster writes: “Finn stands at the driveway and wags his tail when people and dogs go by, but he is still very scared of adults. You can see he wants to be close but only recently he allowed me to pet him, and then he gave me a kiss.” It will take a while for Finn to trust. Finn needs an emotional special-needs home who will give him the time he needs and to be patient with Finn. This boy is not an immediate companion but will develop into a loyal buddy over time. He is very smart, and his timidness masks his need for affection. Apply at crisisdogsnc.org. We reply to completed applications only, not to calls, not to emails, not to instant or private Facebook messages. Excellent vet references and a virtual home visit required. Your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We prefer a fenced yard, but this is not required for all our dogs. We transport by land or air whenever possible.

Adoption Process
We screen fosters and adopters. If approved for a Dog you will be required to sign a contract.
