Lab mix, female, 2-3 years, 62 pounds
Abby was brought into a rural NC shelter as a stray by someone who said she had appeared at their home a month before. They said this 63 lb. girl was uber-friendly, and they were right ! What a great, ready-made addition to your family she'll make! This girl loves dinner time! Here's a quick clip from when she was in the shelter - https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=424462357630008
Update: Abby is a beautiful and friendly dog who likes to be petted and likes to be near people. She is young and smart and wants to please people. I loved how much her tail wagged when we were on walks or were at the dog park, like she was just so happy and excited to be experiencing that moment of the day. She liked running off-leash in the park. She didn't get into a game of chase with other dogs but she did sniff other dogs in a friendly manner and she ran back and forth through the park. Abby is given free reign of the house during the work days without any accidents or other issues. She is such a sweetheart and will make such an amazing family dog. She will blossom with some attention, training, and love.

1 year, male German shepherd dog mix, 60 pounds
Beautiful, sweet Hickory was saved with three of his buddies at the 11th hour from an extremely high kill, gassing animal shelter in rural North Carolina. Hickory is a personality-plus, young Shepherd mix. He loves everyone and other dogs, too! He just loves to play! When he's not playing, he also loves to lounge. He's out like a light on his foster's couch in the photo to the right! Hickory will likely be 70-75 at his optimal weight. While he's a big pup, he is also very gentle and so good natured. He's very sensitive to tone of voice and responds to corrections easily.
