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 Precious

When I was named Precious they had no idea how true it would be! I guess you could say I have all the personality, looks, loving spirit and sweet face to match. My foster mom is in love with my beautiful ginger coat that shines in the sunlight and my sweet face with a dark brown muzzle to add the best contrast. Looks aren't the only thing I have going for me though, I'm also smart, sweet, playful and adventurous. Sometimes when I'm really excited during playtime mom says I play a little rough with my siblings but she's helping me with my puppy manners every day. My other superpowers include that I potty outside, walk on a leash, go up and down stairs, sleep through the night, play and zoom around, give great kisses and snuggles! Now that I'm about 4 months old I weigh about 12 pounds, I'll probably be around 15 - 20 pounds when full grown. In the house I am around other bigger dogs and a cat, but my foster mom takes it slow so we can get to know each other better! Pretty soon I'll be introduced to some human kids too! This dog is available and everything we know about this dog is included in the dog’s description. We are only able to respond to questions once a completed application is received https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. We do not respond to questions about our dogs sent through email or social media. Excellent vet references and a virtual home visit required. Your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We transport by land or air whenever possible. Unless there is definitive documentation our breed assessments are based on visual appearances.  

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