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 Riley

Riley is a 14-year-old, 7 lb. Miniature Poodle. Riley is just about the sweetest dog you will ever meet! She can sometimes be mistaken for a stuffed animal because she is such a soft little fluffball. She is incredibly sweet and gentle with everyone and all she wants in life is to snuggle on your lap and be close to you. She would be an ideal pet for an older, calmer couple or person and would do best with someone who is home more often. She does love cuddling up to her foster dog siblings and prefers being around smaller dogs because they are less scary than the big ones to her. She is 100% potty-trained and only likes to go outside to do her business and then come right back in and find a warm spot on the couch. She also knows how to use potty pads too! She loves to help the kids in her foster home with their homework by keeping them company (check out her pictures for evidence!) She will watch over them and make sure they get all their work done too! When she wants your attention, she is oh so polite about it and will gently paw you until you give her some pets. Riley can't wait to settle down in her forever home and live out her golden years with a loving family! Riley does have cataracts in her right eye, but this does not seem to bother her. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. To ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We provide transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!
