More about the shelter
CrisisDogsNC is a foster-based, 501 (c) (3) non-profit founded in 2017 by journalist and author Judith Reitman Texier whose investigative articles garnered international awards and prompted changes in animal welfare laws. She created the Organization in response to North Carolinaâs euthanasia rate which is among the highest in the country and to many of its sheltersâ methods of euthanasia that are so inhumane they are outlawed in most other states.
â
We rescue dogs from kill shelters, substandard backyard breeders, hoarders, and from chains. We provide full medical care, foster homes, and transport by land and air through our partnership with PilotsNPaws to fully screened and qualified adopters all along the East Coast.
â
What distinguishes us from other rescues is our focus on the relationship between the rescued dog and the new family. By understanding your lifestyle and expectations, as well as the personalities of our rescue dogs, we can make a compatible match for a lifelong bond. We are in it for the life of the dog. At any point after adoption, if the adopter's situation changes for whatever reason, we will always accept the dog back into the rescue.
We screen fosters and adopters. If approved for a Dog you will be required to sign a contract.
About Poppy Pie
Distance: 2,339 Miles
Poppy Pie is a 14 year old, 14 lb. Terrier mix.
Poppy Pie spent her whole life outside before coming into rescue. Since being in her foster home, she has really warmed up and enjoys being around her humans and getting lots of pets. She will reward you with lots of kisses and cuddles too! Poppy Pie is learning all the great things about being a beloved member of the family. She likes to explore her fenced in yard and has starting playing with some of the foster dogs in her home. She can be dog selective, so proper introductions are essential for her success. She will need an adult only home that is calm so she can feel secure and comfortable (kids can be a little scary sometimes!). Poppy Pie doesn't love being crated and is still learning how to use a leash. She is excelling with her potty-training and will need a patient home that can continue to work with her on this. While Poppy Pie has come out of her shell more and more each day, she doesn't love to share and would do best as an only pet (after a tough life, can you blame her for not wanting to share food or treats?) Poppy Pie deserves all the love and she will absolutely give it right back to you tenfold! If you're looking for a loving an affectionate little lap dog, apply to meet Poppy Pie today!
