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 Arrow

Arrow is a 1 year old, 7.8 lb. Chihuahua mix. Sweet little Arrow has already been through a lot in her short life and now it's time for her happily ever after! She was attacked by a larger dog as a puppy and as a result has a permanent tilt to her head. She won't be able to wear a collar and must be walked using a harness only, but that doesn't get her down! Arrow knows her little head tilt makes her all the more special and cute. She is a playful girl and loves other, calm dogs. She happily enjoys running around the yard and playing with her foster siblings. Arrow has lots of energy to get out! She is completely house-trained and crate-trained, but prefers being with her family to her crate. She is a lovebug too and enjoys lots of cuddle time on the couch with her human family in the evenings. She would make a great movie or tv buddy! If you are looking for the cutest, sweetest, playful new friend then Arrow is your girl! Apply to meet her today! 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!
