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 Tator Tot

Tator Tot is a 7 month old , 16 Lb Chihuahua/Beagle mix Tator Tot came to us from the local shelter.  He is the SWEETEST! He is super friendly and such a cutie pie! Just look at those ears!  He prefers to be around people and follows you around everywhere. He is treat motivated for sure which will help with training!  Like all puppies, he will need some basic training about manners like jumping up and “stay” so he doesn’t run out the door.  He seems to love other dogs and doesn't mind the resident cat!  He has an easy going style of play and is learning how to play with toys!  He is crate trained (although he doesn't enjoy it), he would rather be curled up on the couch reading a good book with his family!  His foster mom is working with him on leash and potty training!  He is doing well, but like most male dogs in a new home, he is marking.  If you are looking to adopt a great dog, look no further!  Please apply online at www.crisisdogsnc.org if you are interested in adopting Tator Tot. 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!
