Host Updates for sweet, southern miss Dixie! See what her hosts said about their time with Dixie while she looks for her furever family: "This girl is just about as sweet as they come! Dixie absolutely could not care less about the cats and completely ignored them her whole stay with us. She is very gentle, great with small children, didn't jump on the furniture and would be the best snuggler to her new family". "We have an older small dog to which Dixie gave space. Very respectful. She could use more practice on the leash. She's great in the crate and in the car and is house trained".To meet Dixie, schedule an appointment by submitting an adoption request on our website's "Adopt" page. To host an amazing dog like Dixie, sign up for our host weekend sleepovers on our website's "Host a Dog" page: loom.ly/MG6X_8I Learn more about Dixie by checking out her bio on our website. loom.ly/Rdw-AYo#hostupdate #rescuedog #dogrescue #doglovers #happydog #adoptme #savinggracenc #dogsleepover #hostadog #foster ...

What a life!! A full belly and a nap!! This is what you could be experiencing if you sign up to be a foster at Saving Grace. These pups are too young to be adopted and need homes until they are old enough to find their furever homes.

Oh stink! How Cute is that baby bear!

What type of puppy ?

I would love to be a foster... but I would need you to absolutely deny me the ability to keep them... because it would become a hoarder situation QUICKLY! LOL!

What breed is she

What breed(s) is this pup?

Host Update for adorable Darryl! See what his host said about their time with Darryl while he looks for his furever family:“Darryl is an adorable boy!We went and played with a friends dog with no issues. He was friendly to everyone we saw as well. Darryl does know “sit” so that’s a start, he’ll pick up the other commands easily. He is very curious especially when you are outside on your walk. He walks well on the leash though will pull if something catches his attention - rabbits and squirrels are too tempting to resist. With a little training he’ll be a perfect gentleman.Darryl is gentle, loving and would make a great addition to any family. Having a fenced back yard to run and explore would be this guys dream. He deserves a forever home.”To meet Darryl, schedule an appointment by submitting an adoption request on our website's "Adopt" page.

Host Update for easy Miles! See what his host said about their time with Miles while he looks for his furever family: “I had the pleasure of hosting Miles for a long weekend, and he was SUCH a SWEET boy! He is potty trained, did well playing with other dogs. He was incredibly gentle when playing. We went on many car rides and he did well with a seatbelt (I always use this for their safety), hanging his head out of the window, enjoying the ride! While Miles enjoyed playing with others, he entertained himself around the house and loved to play fetch. He would even toss the toy up in the air himself and then proceed to chase after it—he was super cute to watch play! Miles would be great in a home where there is someone home the majority of the time, as he loves his humans and wants them to be around. He was a pretty chill pup and was always up for a nap, and wanted to sleep near me on the couch. Miles would be an easy pet for someone who worked at home! ” To meet Miles, schedule an appointment by submitting an adoption request on our website's "Adopt" page.

Miles is a great dog. He does well in his crate, is good with other dogs, I haven’t heard him bark, and he’s always up for letting his nose take him on an adventure. He’s such a cute lovable boy.

Miles is a sweet, smart, confident boy!

Oh what a handsome boy⭐️

Host Update for sweet Clarity! See what her host said about their time with Clarity while she looks for her furever family: “This was my second time hosting sweet Clarity! This sweet girl has gained so much confidence and some good habits. She had no accidents in the house, was able to relax a lot faster and was very happy to ask for snuggles, pets and scratches. Clarity also let me sleep in and got cozy in the bed. She's not a fan of the crate and prefers your company. My gym is dog friendly, so I took her along and she made a great gym partner! She likes to collect goodies (toys, shoes, slippers, socks) from all over the house. I would recommend this smart girl has lots of toys to keep her entertained!This sweet girl deserves the world.
