Abbe

Sex: Female

DOB: October 2006, estimated, 3-4years

Coat: Black and White with Ticking

Weight: 23 lbs

Activity Level: Sports Competitor, Herding Dog

Abbe was owner surrendered to rescue due to a disagreement between the owners. They said she does not like men but I have not seen that at all.  The first night she was with us she came right up to my son and husband and allowed them to give her belly rubs.   Has had not problem fitting in with our other three dogs, both male and female.  We do not have cats so don't know how she is with them or children. 

Abbe lots of energy and spunk. She loves to follow us around and be involved with what ever we are doing.  She enjoys walks on leash with the other dogs and is very curious about life in general.  What ever my husband is doing she is right there trying to help. She has a very sweet disposition and is a very quick learner.  

Abbe has become this very outgoing little ball of energy.  She loves other dogs, men, women and children.  She would be great in a sport such as fly-ball or agility; she may even have herding skills. We will have to have her screened for that.  She has become accustomed to her crate at night but is quite happy to get out of it in the morning.  She loves being out in the fenced in yard, as long as there are other dogs for her to play with, she is a very social little girl.  Abbey needs a home with lots of activity, a fenced in area where she can run till her hearts content. She loves being around family members and other dogs. Would be great with someone who wants to take her on short runs (when the weather is not to hot), to play ball or to catch a Frisbee with her.  Abbe loves, loves, loves, chasing the ball and retrieving it.

Abbe is up to date on all of her shots and on heatworm medication. She may be a mix of Border Collie and another herding breed.

Abbey Lives with her foster family in Lexington, NC . For more information send email to cplizza@hotmail.com.

Aidan - Adoption Pending!

Sex: Male

DOB: August 2007, (estimated), 2-3 years

Coat: Black and White, Smooth Coat

Weight: 35 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Update: Aidan no longer has problems coming through doorways.  He has now been neutered and has been started on Heartworm prevention. He's no longer shy and gets along very well with other dogs and is a generally good natured fellow.  Aidan is also housebroken and will bark to be let outside.

Meet Aidan! He’s a fine young gentleman who was a stray and wound up in the local animal shelter and is currently listed as “under evaluation” in his new foster home until his true personality emerges .

Aidan is very shy but friendly. He plays well with his new foster brothers and so far has not reacted to the cat. He has some problems going through doorways and coming into the house. His foster mom believes that he had never been inside a home before.

Aidan is still intact but will be neutered by the end of March. He will also be tested for heartworm and have his shots updated. He’s already had his Rabies injection at the shelter.

Aidan is very quiet and spent the first night in the kitchen where he did not mess on the floor or make any noise, despite a thunderstorm. He loves to spend time in the backyard, so a fenced yard is a definite must. He will also be taught to use a doggie door.

Aidan is being fostered in Kenly, NC.
If you are interested in this sweet little fellow, please email his foster mom: cwestwoman@yahoo.com.

Bailey

Sex: Male

DOB: February 2010, estimated 8 months

Coat: Smooth

Weight: 38 lbs (and growing)

Activity Level: Active Companion

Bailey is about 9 months old now. He's a smooth coat BC with the traditional black/white markings. He is a very smart little dog. In the first week here, he learned to walk on a leash, sit on command, ride in the car, and ring the bell on the front door when we wants to go outside. He's great around children, other dogs, and cats. He was a little bit on the skinny side when I got him, but now he's filled out. I think he's probably about done growing and will be around 45 lbs. He is neutered and up-to-date on all his shots. He is house broken and crate trained. I have started letting him stay out of the crate for short periods of time when I am running errands. He's doing great and should be able to learn to behave when out of the crate all day long.

He loves to play with a tennis ball or a stick in the yard. We're working on the whole bringing back the ball part. He is full of energy and loves daily walks or running in the backyard with other dogs. He likes to wrestle with my male BC. However, when it's time to settle down, he likes to lay at my feet or up on the couch with me when I let him. He's a very affectionate dog and eager to please. He barks when people or animals walk past the house or when he's pouncing around and playing.

Bailey's ideal home would have a fenced in back yard, another dog to play with, and someone who will enjoy spending time with him teaching him new tricks and going for walks. He likes to jump in the kiddie pool to cool off. He's never been swimming, but I think he might enjoy it. He would need a decent height fence, as he seems to be able to jump fairly high. He may be a good agility dog if someone had the time to train him.

Bailey lives in Winston Salem. If you'd like to learn more about him, please contact Heather at

Buddy

Sex:Male

DOB: June 2005, 5 years

Coat: Black, Smooth Coat

Weight: 55 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Buddy is the classic southern gentleman. He is a graceful, sleek, muscular black smoothie with tremendous swagger. 

Buddy was recently certified as a Canine Good Citizen by the American Kennel Club. You can read more about that by clicking here. http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/program.cfm

He already knows sit, down, speak, roll over and shake. He walks nicely on a leash and he always comes when called. His foster people rarely leash him because he is such a good boy.

Buddy loves to ride in the car and go new places. Buddy would make a great Therapy Dog because he is so well-mannered and loves to give and receive affection from people. Buddy loves being in a crowd of children, especially if they all want to pet him. He has a solid temperament.

Buddy has great manners with dogs. He is very playful with other dogs and can get quite silly, especially with the ladies. Buddy changes his play style to accommodate his friend be it a big rowdy puppy or a small grumpy senior. He is also fine just lounging if he meets a dog that doesn't want to play.

Buddy is very smart and likes to find ways to get to his foster people. He can open doors and gates and can escape a four-foot fence if he can see or hear his people on the other side. Thankfully, he is fine once he finds his person. He is also fine in his crate.

Buddy is healthy, strong and athletic.
He is a great companion and an ambassador for this versatile breed.
He is being fostered in Wake Forest, NC.

Coco

Sex:Female, spayed

DOB: Jun 2008, 1 year (estimated)

Coat: Red and White Rough Coat

Weight: 35 pounds

Activity Level: Sports Competitor

Border Collie Mix

Coco was turned in to the Wake County, NC Animal Shelter, because she was just “too much”!

Too much dog to handle………..but just, about right if we’re talking Border Collie.

Coco has calmed down considerably since leaving the shelter. She still has oodles of energy and will need an active home. She is a good candidate for dog sports and a running partner.

She loves chasing and being chased by the dogs in her foster home. She is ball and toy driven, and very eager to please.

See some video of Coco at her agility training, with Teamworks:

Coco's Agility Training at Teamwork's
Coco's Agility Training Week-2
Coco's Agility Training Week-3

Coco is good with dogs, cats, adults and children. She will be shy and deceptively calm upon meeting new people.

Coco and some of her foster mates

Coco loves swimming in our pond!

Duke

Sex: Male, (neutered)

DOB: 3-1-99, 10 years, (estimated)

Coat: Rough, Black and White

Weight: 47 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Duke was described by his former owners as a gentle giant. He is a calm, quiet, and obedient fellow. He has a soft mouth and will take treats politely from your hand. On walks in congested areas, sidewalks busy with people, and noisy traffic, he behaves beautifully. Duke adores children and becomes more animated in their presence

Although Duke is a more laid back variety of Border Collie, he is extremely active. Running and chasing other dogs, barking at sheep, and swimming, keep him fit and trim. The Dukester absolutely loves the water.  He is in the little kiddy pool for the dogs all the time.  He also loves to swim in his pond. Every chance he gets, he is in the water.

Duke is a large boned, tall and lanky guy. He came to his foster home a bit overweight but now needs to gain a pound or two. His new family will need to keep him active with walks and other activities.

Duke is living with 14 other dogs and gets along remarkably well for having been an only dog for 6 years. He will try to challenge males, only, if they challenge him. He is quite meek around the females, allowing them to boss him around.

Duke is a special needs boy. He is extremely thunder phobic. If his family is home during a storm, there is no problem. If he is alone, he has been very destructive. This is the reason he was relinquished after so many years. Various attempts to solve this problem with medication have failed. His foster family takes him to doggie daycare if no humans can be home during a storm. He is perfectly reliable in the house at all other times.

In March of 2008, Duke was diagnosed with Progressive Rod Cone Degeneration. This is an inherited disorder and there is no therapy. He has approximately 25% of normal vision at this time and will lose all vision within 2-3 years. This is not a painful disease and Duke has adjusted very well. He learns new spaces and obstacles quickly.

Duke may not have had a lot of interaction with his former busy family, and as a result, he takes a little time to form attachments. After being in his current foster home for two months, he began to seek out attention and affection. In a home with fewer dogs, and plenty of kids of the human variety, Duke will bond more quickly. Duke cannot be adopted to a home with cats. Duke is housetrained, neutered, and up to date on all vaccinations

Duke is being fostered in Durham, NC.

To learn more about this sweet boy, contact Ann Miller: annMiller@nc.rr.com , 919.682.6125, (prior to 20:00 please).

Echo - Adoption Pending!

Sex: Male

DOB: January, 2008, 2.5 years, (estimated)

Coat: Black and White Rough Coat

Weight: 45 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Meet Echo. Echo is a wonderful and beautiful pup is full of love and devotion to any human that crosses his path. Echo enjoys watching TV, short walks outside, and being under your feet.

His foster mom thinks that Echo’s day isn’t complete unless she has tripped over Echo at least five times. With that said, if you are looking for a nice “Velcro” pup, Echo is the dog for you.

He is up to date on all of his shots and is heartworm negative. Echo is being fostered in Franklinton, NC.

Elliott

Sex: Male

DOB: 2001 9 years, (estimated)

Coat: Black, Brown and White, Rough Coat

Weight: 50 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Elliott is a handsome tri-colored Border Collie that was rescued from a rural shelter in the NC mountains. While we’ll never know for sure how he ended up at the shelter, the most probable reason is that he is blind. Elliott has been diagnosed with Progressive Rod Cone Degeneration (an inherited condition for which there is no cure), and has no vision in both eyes. However, he would strongly prefer that you don’t consider him as a “special needs” dog. Come watch him run around the yard in his foster home, clear his way to his crate or walk confidently towards his food and water bowls, and you’ll find yourself asking: is he REALLY blind?

Like a typical border collie, Elliott is full of energy and very active. His favorite activities include running in the yard (he spins around himself when extremely excited), going for long walks with his foster parents and canine siblings, and falling asleep by your side in the evenings. Elliott gets along well with all of his canine brothers and sisters at his foster home, is good with cats, and just wonderful around people (including children). He is always happy, eager to please, and very, very sweet.

Elliott would do well with pretty much any family, either as an only dog or as a companion to another canine (although it needs to be made sure that resident dogs are understanding enough not to get upset when Elliott accidentally runs into them). He’d be perfect as a hiking partner or as a loving, devoted companion to always have by your side. He would make sure to make his owners very happy and to entertain them constantly with his silly tricks (like singing - that is, howling - along when he hears music playing on your radio). His herding instincts are still pretty strong, and he even attempted to herd cattle once. He is truly a multi-talented guy.

Elliott has been neutered, is up to date on his vaccinations, crate-trained and almost 100% house-trained (accidents do happen occasionally, but we are working on that). He is also totally accustomed to a doggie door.

Elliott is being fostered in Durham, NC. If interested in this outstanding fellow, please contact Irina at
iyevs13@yahoo.com for more information.

Jasmine - Adopted!!

Sex: Female

DOB: April 2006, estimated, 4 years

Coat: Black and White, Rough Coat

Weight: 40 lbs

Activity Level: Companion

Meet Jasmine! She is a fine lady who was pulled from a shelter after her owner gave her up. Reason she was surrendered was because the owner no longer had time for her and felt it wasn’t fair to Jasmine.

She is in foster care living with 5 other dogs and learning how to live with others just like her.  Jasmine is particularly fond of her foster brother, Aidan.   She has a high prey drive and will chase cats, so a home with cats is not recommended.

Jasmine seems to be a low-energy companion type dog who is just content to spend time with her human. She doesn’t care for young children, apparently, and it’s best if she goes to a home with either older kids or adults only.

She loves to show affection and will give hugs and kisses. She loves nothing better than to sit beside you and snuggle.

Jasmine is very smart and learned to use a doggie door the same day she came into foster care.

Jasmine is a little thunder phobic and barks during thunderstorms. Once she snuggles up beside, you for reassurance, she will stop.

Even though Jasmine is pretty laid back, she will bolt and run after a cat or strange dog, so a fenced yard is a definite must.

She’s had all her vet work done, is spayed and current on all immunization including heartworm prevention. Jasmine is being fostered in Kenly, NC. 

If you are interested in making this beautiful girl a part of your life, please email cwestwoman@yahoo.com

Maverick - Not Currently Available

Sex: Male

DOB: December 2006, 3.5 years

Coat: Black and White, Rough Coat

Weight: 35 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Maverick is a smart, active border collie with great potential as a sports competitor. However, he is not currently available for adoption due to several behavioral issues. We are working to resolve those issues, so please check back for updates.

For any questions regarding Maverick, please contact Irina in Durham:

Mars

Sex: Female

DOB: December 2008, 1 year (estimated)

Coat: Black and White, Rough Coat

Weight: 25 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion/ Sport Competitor

She’s a sprite and an imp. She is a bright little light on even the grayest day, full to the brim with fun. Mars lives to play!

Mars has great potential as a fly-ball or agility competitor. I don’t think barking dogs or a crowd of people would phase her. She loves to play with other dogs so her foster person would like to find her a home with playful canine companions. She would be great around children and or elderly people. She is small and has a gentle nature (although she can race around like greased lightning and wrestle rambunctiously with a willing pal).

This girl will win hearts wherever she goes!

Mars was probably bred as a miniature Australian Shepherd. I’m not sure what went into the mix but the result was a beautiful small herding dog (active and sweet tempered). She will work for treats and praise and should be a real pleasure to train.

Mars is spayed and up to date on veterinary care (heartworm prevention and vaccinations). Mars is being fostered near Sanford, NC. If you are interested in adding Mars to your family, please write to Dolly: dolly_watson@hotmail.com.

Maxwell Peanut

Sex:Male

DOB: February, 2007, 3.5 years

Coat: Black and White Semi-Rough Coat

Weight: 37 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Max is a handsome, reserved border collie who survived a neglectful puppyhood and a failed adoption to become a much-loved member of his foster home.  He is quiet and shy, affectionate but not pushy, dignified but not aloof.  Get him going with a ball or a squeaky toy and he'll make a silly fool of himself.  Ask him to Sit, Stay and Down for a treat and he will comply.  Pat the couch and he's on it.  Say "Get Down," and he's off.  Hold up your hand like a traffic cop, as Max barrels for an open door, and he'll skid to a sliding stop like a quarter horse. 

Is Max perfect?  No.  He is not yet trustworthy on recall.  He requires a good fence, an Easy Walk Harness, and a leash.  He is 90% there, but, if left to his own devices, Max will wander away and end up in a strange yard, days later, several miles away, staring wistfully, but mistrustfully, at the treats held out by well-meaning occupants.  Spare yourself. 

Max was tied to a post outside for the first two years of his life. He lived through the vital stages of puppyhood with no stimulation and no socialization. Max must have received ill treatment, because he still shies away from objects in hand and shrinks from loud sounds.  His owner was reported for animal neglect and he was taken to a shelter.  CBCR got wind of little Max and one of our volunteers drove all the way to Virginia to rescue him.  She fostered Max for 6 months.  He played with her pack of dogs and learned basic commands, yet never mastered the art of recall.  When not on leash, he was prone to take off after a distraction in the woods, a deer, a squirrel, the call of the wild.  

Max was adopted by a kind person with an senior female chow/retriever mix. He was overbearing with the family dog and territorial with neighbor dogs who came to visit. Nevertheless, Max earned his Canine Good Citizen status and solidified his sit, stay and down. After 8 months of dedicated work, she reluctantly and sadly returned Max to CBCR. In her words, he was "comfortable, but not happy."

Max is now in foster near Pittsboro, NC.  Here, he played magnificently with a young female foster puppy. They rolled and tumbled, played tug of war, chased balls, and cuddled together in the house. Then the puppy went to her new home. The adult dogs in this household tolerate, but have never thoroughly meshed with Max.  Like a child who wants to be friends, but doesn't know how, Max often overdoes it, lacks subtlety, and plays too rough.  He is likely to prosper as an only dog or in a home with a playful, issue-free puppy. He is OK with cats, children, and visitors. Max will be a loyal and willing companion to his new owner.

To learn more about Max contact Ellen Pearson in Pittsboro, NC at

Ranger

Sex: Male

DOB: June 2008, 1 year

Coat: White with Black, Semi-Rough Coat

Weight: 45 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

Ranger is what is what is known in the animal world as a “Lethal White.” Because of breeding two Merle’s together, Ranger has some genetic problems. It makes him a spectacularly beautiful dog with his ice-blue eyes, pink nose and mostly white coat. However, Ranger is completely deaf, blind in one eye and with limited vision in the other. Ranger can only go to a very special home with a family who can accommodate his disabilities.

Because of his blindness and deafness, he startles easily, barks at headlights, flashlights, and reflections, and is afraid of his shadow. He will need a family who is willing to learn all the signs his foster Mom has taught him and who can demonstrate the ability to learn additional sign language as needed. He will also need a fenced-in yard and a person who will walk him on-leash only as there is no way to call him back to you. He would do well with a deaf dog collar with vibration to help him know when to come back.

Ranger is a very sweet and loveable boy who is eager to play. He does well with older children (no children under 8 years old), cats, and, even chickens. He has very little herding drive and is happy following around his foster family. He gets along with other dogs, but would be happy as the king of the castle as well.

If you think you might be a good match for Ranger, fill out an application and schedule a home visit with one of CBCR’s volunteers. Then contact Courtney Smith at csmith@mcdowell.main.nc.us to set up a time to come visit us and meet Ranger.
All applicants must be willing to travel to the Asheville area for an interview to be considered.

Ted

Sex: Male

DOB: 2005-2003, 5-7 years, (estimated)

Coat: Black and White, Smooth Coat

Weight: 56 lbs

Activity Level: Moderately Active Companion

Mr. Ted is a true gentleman: always cooperative, respectful of his owners, obedient and eager to please. He is good with other dogs, cats, and even bunny rabbits; however, he lives for only one thing: to be with his human masters.

Rescued from a high-kill rural shelter, Mr. Ted appeared to be in a pretty bad shape: suffering from a severe case of heartworms, malnourishment and flea dermatitis, he nonetheless never complained. Good food and moderate exercise took care of his weight and coat, and Ted has just started his heartworm treatment, so that he is on the path to full recovery.

Ted would be great for a first-time Border Collie owner (due to his low-to-moderate activity level), or for a mature, settled person looking for a loyal companion to share long daily walks with. Ted is also very easy to train as he is highly motivated by food and simply loves to do something to please his person. He is house- and crate-trained (although he’d much rather stay by your feet than in his crate!) and is used to a doggie door.

Ted is being fostered in Durham, NC, and will be available in early September once his heartworm treatment is finished. If interested in this noble fellow,
please e-mail Irina at iyevs13@yahoo.com.

Toby

Sex: Male

DOB: January 2009, 1.5 years

Coat: Black & White, Semi-Rough Coat

Weight: 52 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion/Sports Competitor

Hi! My name is Toby. I was left at the Allegheny County Shelter in April, but I don’t know why. I was heart worm positive and full of worms, and skinny as a rail. My foster Mom has got me healthy (no worms) and my coat looks great now and I am at a healthy 52#. They think I am 19 months old so I still have my whole life in front of me!

I have a great foster home now but I would do better in a home without a cat. Mom says I also need a home that understands I am a very high energy dog. She even thinks I could do agility! That would be cool!

I am house broken, and I don’t use a crate anymore but I could until my new family learns to trust me. Mom thinks I would do well in a home with other dogs to keep me from getting bored because I love to play and wrestle!

For more information, please contact Michele in Huntersville, NC:

Trooper

Sex: Male

DOB: June 2008, (estimated), 2 years

Coat: Black and White, Rough Coat

Weight: 45 lbs

Activity Level: Active Snuggler and Companion

Young Border Collie Mix

If ever a little dog needed rescuing, Trooper surely did. He was in a dangerous shelter with little time. He was suffering from “itchy-scratchy” skin, had intestinal worms, an ear infection and heart-worm. At such a young age, this adorable little fella was about to become a statistic :-( Thankfully, CBCR stepped in.

Trooper’s first stop was to a veterinary hospital where “bad-hair-day” happened. They decided that the best thing for his itchy skin was to get some air to it and start the healing process. How embarrassing! How would you like to meet your new 10 foster siblings, naked to the world?

Once that hurdle was over, Trooper said goodbye to his other ailments (bye bye heartworm, bye bye itchy skin, ear infection, icky worms). Now he prances and plays, stretches out like a frog on the cool floor and rolls over for a belly rub.

Trooper is a quick learner and a happy dog. He will brighten up your day.

Trooper has been tested on children and cats and does fine with both. He is up to date on veterinary care. He is being fostered a little south of Pittsboro, NC. If you think you might be interested in adopting Trooper please contact:

Ziva

Sex:Female, spayed

DOB: May 2007, estimated, 3 years

Coat: Black with Ticking, Smooth Coat

Weight: 50 lbs, (should weigh 40-45)

Activity Level: Active Companion

Border Collie Mix

Ziva is a very smart little cookie. She is a sweet dog who would make someone a loyal and interactive companion.  She loves to learn new things and is very focused on humans.  Ziva has a very nice "off switch" and does not require the kind of vigorous activity most Border Collies need. 

Ziva would prefer to be an only dog, but would probably adapt to an older, settled dog in the household.  Ziva enjoys life and being with all humans - big, small, male, female...she seems to love them all.  While she looks like she could be mixed with something else, she has Border Collie coloring, size, and shape.

She is crate-trained, house-trained, and knows sit, come, stay, and lie down.  She walks nicely on leash and is tolerant of other dogs passing by that don't invade her personal space.   She would excel at doggie tricks, canine musical freestyle, or rally obedience.

Ziva is currently enrolled in Teamwork’s Dog Training’s Scholarship Program.

Check out her first video: Ziva's Training

Ziva is residing at the Teamworks training facility in Youngsville, NC.

Brewster

Sex: Male

DOB: December 2009, 7 months

Coat: Black and White, Rough Coat

Weight: 38 lbs

Activity Level: Active Companion

I was said to be a girl. I was said to be a Border Collie. I was said to be really sweet. Well, one out of three isn’t bad, especially when it’s the most important one! I’m very, very sweet.

Besides, I’m living with a bunch of Border Collies…………….those guys are nuts, you would be much better with the likes of me!

My foster mom thinks I will be a pretty big dog, she thinks I might have St Bernard in me, or some kind of Mountain Dog. I have that “I want to help” look in my face.

I love toys, and balls, and playing tug with my foster siblings. I know which bowl is mine and where I eat. I am already housetrained!! I don’t know if I like cats since I’ve never seen one. I don’t know about little kids either. I think they might be okay if they have been taught how to behave around dogs. They can’t pull my tail or let me nibble them, and, they need to leave me alone when I am taking a nap.

I live in Durham, NC. To learn more good things about me, please contact my foster mom:
annMiller@nc.rr.com, or 919.682.6125, (prior to 21:00).

Violet

Sex: Female

DOB: September 2009, 8 months

Coat: Black and White, Rough Coat

Weight: 35 lbs

Activity Level: Lower than Average for a Puppy her Age

Violet is beautiful long hair black and white border collie mix puppy, weight approximately 30 – 35 pounds. My veterinarian thinks she may be mixed with a cattle dog because of her body shape. She looks bigger than she really is because of her thick, fluffy coat. Violet was a stray that was dumped off in someone’s yard near a busy road to fend for herself.

Violet was not socialized well and may have been abused in her past. As a result, she is shy and submissive, but is learning that the world is a lot of fun and a good place to be. She has come a long way in the last few months. She is very gentle and sweet, and once she gets to know you, is very loving and will sit with you to be petted. She walks great on a leash, knows how to sit, and is crate trained.

Her only issue is that she can be hard to catch in the yard. For this reason, she must have a fenced in yard. She can be intimidated if she feels someone is walking behind her. I believe with training and a loving home, she will overcome this issue. She is currently living with 3 other dogs, and I think she would do better and feel more secure with another dog in the family.

Violet is cat tested and she is fine with cats. She did not really pay much attention to them at all. She also likes older children, and is less shy around children than adults. Violet will be the type of dog that just wants to be around her own family. When there are visitors in the house, Violet will quietly retreat to another room and lie down.

If you have experience with dogs and would love the opportunity to watch Violet continue to blossom, then she may be the puppy for you. She is already spayed and up to date with all her shots.

Violet is being fostered in Pittsboro, NC. For more information, please contact Denise Scott:
