Thank you for stopping by to see the dogs ready for adoption. If this is your first visit to our website and are interested in adopting, you will want to first visit our Adoption Info page to see our adoption process and complete an application. If you are interested in meeting some of our available dogs or if you would like to talk to us about volunteer opportunities, come see us at an upcoming Meet and Greet event.

There are typically between 35 and 45 dogs in our program at any given time – some will stay with us longer than others as they overcome their medical or behavioral challenges. The costs to run our rescue are well over $200,000 per year. Click here to learn how you can support NRGRR rescue, rehab, and adopt these dogs in need. Visit our Blarney's Fund page to read about some of our dogs who came into our program with serious medical issues and learn how we helped them recover.

Note: You must be a resident of North Carolina to adopt one of our dogs. If you live more than three hours from the Raleigh-Durham area, adopting from us may be challenging.

Reminder for approved applicants: To apply for one or more available dogs, contact your applications advisor. Don't know who your advisor is? Email NRGRRapplications@hotmail.com.

Meet and Greet Lineup

We will attempt to provide a list of available dogs scheduled to attend our Meet and Greet by Thursday Evening or Friday prior to each event. Unfortunately, not all of our available dogs are able to attend every Meet and Greet and last minute or unforeseeable circumstances may prevent a listed dog from attending or they may not be in attendance for the entire time. If you are an approved applicant, please contact your application adviser if you have specific questions about a particular dog.

Referral Dogs (not in our program)

We provide listings for referral dogs as a service to the community, but we do not screen dogs to determine their suitability for adoption. We make no representations regarding the accuracy of the information provided by the owners/fosters and we assume no responsibility for the condition or behavior of the dogs.

Bailey

Bailey is a young at heart, handsome, all around great pup. At 11 years old, you’d never guess it by the looks of his sweet face or his ability to run the fields! He is fully vetted, neutered, and 100% house trained- no crates necessary as he is not the destructive type.

He is a simple, easy going pup who doesn’t even like toys or bones, just a big comfy bed with lots of pillows and blankets. He is a true cuddle bug of a dog and has never slept alone a day in his life. He will gladly snuggle up and sleep all day long while at the same time, if you’re feeling adventurous, he will more than happily hike the trials or run the beaches with you- just not in the water please as he is not a lover of such aquatic fun. He does excellent in the car and one is his favorite past times is to go bye-bye.

He loves everyone he meets and likes to greet them with a few licks. He loves face and chin scratches and to wrap his paws around your arms while he receives those oh-so-good scratches!

Bailey would prefer to live out his golden years in as much peace and quiet as possible. He would also prefer to be the one and only dog in the home. Unfortunately, that means no children as well. He wouldn’t mind visits from the neighborhood kids or older grandchildren though! He is just not fond of the younger aged children (toddlers/babies). A fenced in yard would also be a must for him. While not a fence jumper, he does need to be contained while in the yard. He is an inside dog, but does enjoy sunbathing (even on hot summer days, oddly enough!) and getting fresh air through out his day.

Bailey is a GREAT dog who deserves an even greater home than what we are able to provide for him for the time being. I’m more than happy to answer ANY and ALL questions you may have about him. We just want our boy to be happy. If you think he would be the perfect match for you, please contact me via email at mullins1746@aol.com or phone 937-450-6195 at anytime.

Thank you for taking the time to read his bio and for your consideration in adopting Bailey.
