Dogs of DEAR
These are all our dogs in residence at our Scotland Neck animal facility. Some are just waiting for you to give them the wonderful home they need. Some others, as noted below their picture, will take a little special care in order to be ready for re-homing. This is indicated by the the words "special needs". Others are "re-homing ready". Those dogs with no availability listed under their name are currently not available for rehoming. Just click a link below the photo to see more about each dog. Clicking on the links below the photo will take you to that dogs Petfinder listing, Just click on the back button to return you to our site. The full rehoming listing can be viewed by going directly to Petfinder. Our Petfinder listing also includes all dogs and puppies currently in foster care and are not listed on this page. DEAR would like to remind all people considering re-homing that it is a long term commitment.
All of our adoptable dogs are:
- Spayed/neutered
