Host a Dog

Will you take a deserving dog for a sleepover to give them a break?

Our Host a Dog Sleepover

The exposure you provide and the behavioral input you can gather is vital to helping the dogs find forever homes. This is such a great experience for not only our dogs, but also for the families that have opened their hearts and homes to our dogs who are awaiting families of their own.

Fun things to do with to show off your Sleepover Guest!

I just love this dog! Def a volunteer favorite!

Hounds are the best!! Loving, fun, get along well with other dogs, trainable, great in a crate or in a couch! And, from my experience most are not howlers or annoying bayers. And Gander checks all of the great traits boxes. ❤️❤️

We hosted Gander. He’s the best boy. Someone really needs to adopt him. Such a personality ❤️

Ronda Ivey Johnson. Hope you get to see him today!

Get a Gander at this boy!!

Meet Marley! This fabulous and super cute boy gets along with other dogs and loves to run and play, so he would do well in an active family of almost any kind! He comes with great house training and leash walking skills! His host families say he is a good cuddler and has a great personality because he is goofy and playful but can mellow out rather quickly! Make an adoption request to meet this wonderful boy today!Learn more about Marley: loom.ly/7T1s4Eg#sgadoptme #savinggracenc #dogsofnc #rescueismyfavoritebreed ... See MoreSee Less
