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 Brownie

Brownie is a 10 year old Chihuahua that weighs about 8.3 pounds. A spirited opinionated Senior Chihuahua, Brownie would be great as your only dog . He is housetrained and crate trained and would enjoy a fenced yard that is very secure. When he is walked he is fine with a secure harness. His foster writes, “Brownie is a sassy boy who is excited to go out for walks but spends a lot of his day snoozing under the blankets. He enjoys short periods of play and cuddling, but appears to get overstimulated easily. He is very independent, is very well-mannered, and does fine alone in the house. He has a short attention span for cuddles and play at this point. He loves food time, and is protective of his food, so definitely no children.” Brownie has a dominant personality and can be bossy so he needs an owner familiar with chi’s who will love him and give him clear expectations for his behavior! 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 and age assessments are based on visual appearances.
