CrisisDogsNC

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 Carolina’s euthanasia rate which is among the highest in the country and to many of its shelters’ methods of euthanasia that are so inhumane they are outlawed in most other states.​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.​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.

Meet Otter

This dog is available and everything we know about this dog is included in the dog’s description. We are only able to respond to questions once a completed application is received https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. We do not respond to questions about our dogs sent through email or social media.   Otter is an eight-month-old, forty-three-pound German Shephard and Hound mix. He is good with dogs, good with kids, and we have not tested him with cats.  A goofy funny shepherd, Otter loves dogs and just about anyone he meets. We rescued him on the day he was supposed to be euthanized at an overcrowded shelter. He is healthy, bouncy, energetic, smart and very loveable. A very good-natured dog. Please be aware, Hounds require daily exercise and mental stimulation. He would be a great family dog, especially if you have a dog playmate for him and a fenced yard so they can romp around together. Otter needs a good walk or hike daily to help him work off his puppy energy. He cannot be crated, he panics. Otter will probably be about fifty-five pounds. If you know and love shepherd's intelligence and loyalty this dog is for you. Apply at crisisdogsnc.org. We reply only to completed applications, no calls, no emails. Excellent vet references and a virtual home visit required. Your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We transport by land or air whenever possible. Unless there is definitive documentation our breed assessments are based on visual appearances.  

Adoption Process
We screen fosters and adopters. If approved for a Dog you will be required to sign a contract.
