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 Lucia

Lucia is an 8 year old, 11 lb. Shih Tzu Mix. Little Lucia is an absolute doll! She may be small, but her heart is big, and she is oh, so loving! Lucia would be perfect for a calm home with a single person, a couple, or a family with respectful kids (age 10+) who will give her lots of belly scratches and pets. She is very gentle and absolutely loves cuddling and being affectionate. She does enjoy her independence too and will sometimes opt to curl up by herself on a comfy chair or plush bed. She likes to play as well and happily runs around her yard while sticking close to her family. She has been great on walks and good with meeting other dogs and people as she sniffs her way through the neighborhood. She doesn't need a lot of exercise but enjoys a lap around the block! She would love to find a family who is home more often than not, but when she is left alone, she has excellent house manners! She is almost totally potty-trained and will just need to be taken out regularly since she's so small. If this sweet little princess sounds like your PAWfect match, 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!
