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 Bass

Bass is a 3-year-old, 5lb black and white Chihuahua mix. We are all about that Bass! He's a pint-sized sweetheart looking for his forever home. Bass is quite shy when you first meet him, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up to women and kids, and he'll need a little time to adjust to any males in the house until he's not afraid of them. He’s totally fine by himself, but his personality seems to shine more when he has another dog to play with (big or small, doesn’t matter). Bass is very friendly and loving and will give you quick little kisses before running off to play. When he’s ready for snuggles, he will either climb in your lap and lay down, or he will burrow in a blanket on the couch. His favorite snacks are hot dogs and Starbucks pup cups! Bass allows you to dress him in cute sweaters as well! He is a very well-trained designer dog that is perfect for a first-time dog owner, or an already established dog family. Both dog and cat friendly and absolutely loves kids. If you think Bass is the perfect addition to your family, please apply online at www.crisisdogsnc.org. 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!
