CrisisDogsNC is urgently looking for foster homes in North Carolina for 6 dogs currently in rescue. We are completely foster-based, and right now we are on INTAKE HOLD.

https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-foster/

That means we cannot save another dog until we find permanent foster placements for the dogs already in our care.

The dogs pictured are:

🐾 A: Max under 15lbs (M)
🐾 B: Kristina 35lbs (F)
🐾 C: Ellowyn 25lbs (F, Puppy)
🐾 D: Midnight 15lbs (M)
🐾 E: Vannah 20lbs (F)
🐾 F: Stella under 15lbs (F)

They all have different personalities and needs, so you do NOT need to be the perfect home for all six — just the right home for one. ❤️

Some are cat-friendly. Some are higher energy and would love an active foster. Others may fit a quieter household. If you're interested but aren't sure which dog would work in your home, tell us about your household and we can help determine who may be a good match.

🏡 FOSTERING IS FREE.

CrisisDogsNC covers approved veterinary care and provides support. You provide a safe home and love while your foster waits for their forever family.

First-time foster? That's okay!

Can't foster all six? Of course not. 😉 We just need six people to each say, "I can help one."

And every foster placement does more than help the dog you take home. It creates room for us to save another dog from a shelter or emergency situation.

If you can't foster, an upvote, comment, or share can still help get these dogs in front of someone who can.

Thank you!

I volunteer with CrisisDogsNC, and we are partnering with Dogs Deserve Better - Piedmont NC to rescue dogs from an active cruelty situation.

These dogs have spent their lives living in filth.

They've been confined to tiny cages.

They've been surviving by eating dead rats.

This isn't an exaggeration. It's their reality.

Yesterday, two dogs finally left that nightmare. Despite everything humans have done to them, they were unbelievably gentle. They soaked up every kind touch, wagged their tails, and experienced freedom for what may have been the first time in their lives.

But there are still more waiting.

Right now, we desperately need foster homes for FIVE (5) 9-month-old puppies (2 females, 3 males).

They're just babies.

Instead of learning how to chase toys, nap on a couch, or trust people, they've only known neglect.

To make things even more urgent, their mother is pregnant again. We want to get her to safety before she has another litter, but we simply can't pull more dogs without foster homes ready to receive them.

The heartbreaking truth is this:

No foster = no rescue.

Fostering is completely FREE.

CrisisDogsNC provides:

• Veterinary care
• Medications
• Rescue support
• Supplies (when available)

You provide:

These dogs have survived the worst. We'd love to show them the best. ❤️🐾

Three amazing dogs at a rural Virginia shelter are running out of time, and we're desperately trying to save them.

https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-foster/

The only thing standing between these dogs and euthanasia is a foster home.

Meet the dogs:

🐾 Rudy – 6-month-old male, 33 lbs

• Friendly puppy with his whole life ahead of him.

🐾 Bear – 1-year-old male, 60 lbs

• Sweet, fluffy boy looking for a second chance.

🐾 Jessie – 1-year-old female, 44 lbs

• Happy, affectionate young dog ready for a family.

Our rescue is ready to help, but we cannot pull them without committed foster homes.

The good news: fostering is completely FREE.

CrisisDogsNC covers:

• Veterinary care
• Medications
• Rescue support
• Supplies (when available)

You provide:

• A safe place to stay
• Love and patience
• A chance for them to make it out alive

Whether you can foster for a few weeks or until adoption, you could literally save a life.

These dogs don't know they're on borrowed time. They only know they're waiting for someone to choose them.

If you've ever thought about fostering, this is the moment when it truly matters.

The first step is to submit a foster application: https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-foster/

If you can't foster, please help by upvoting and sharing this post. The right person may see it because of you.

Location:
• Dogs are currently in rural Virginia.
• CrisisDogsNC can often coordinate transport to approved foster homes.

Thank you for reading and for caring. We refuse to give up on Rudy, Bear, and Jessie, and we hope you won't either. ❤️

Hi everyone,

Meet Maui, a 1-year-old, 47-pound Husky mix with the biggest smile and an even bigger heart. ❤️

His current foster situation is ending, and he needs a new foster (or adopter!) ASAP. The only thing he asks for? A dog friend! Maui absolutely thrives with another playful pup in the home and would love a built-in best friend.

✨ The best part? FOSTERING IS COMPLETELY FREE.

CrisisDogsNC provides:
✅ Food
✅ Crate
✅ Supplies
✅ Vet care
✅ Medications
✅ Support every step of the way

You provide love and a safe place to crash.

About Maui:

🐶 1 year old, 47 lbs
🐕 Loves dogs (another dog in the home is strongly preferred)
👧 Great with kids
🏡 House-trained and crate-trained
🚗 Fantastic passenger in the car
🎾 Loves balls, zoomies, and adventures
🥰 Big cuddle bug after playtime
🐱 No cats
🐐 No livestock

Maui is one of those dogs who makes friends everywhere he goes. He recently attended an adoption event and adored all the kids he met. He's goofy, affectionate, and has that "happy to be alive" energy that makes everyone smile.

If you've ever thought about fostering but worried about the cost, please know it costs you nothing. CrisisDogsNC covers everything—you simply open your home and help save a life.

📍Located in Raleigh, NC (transport assistance available within NC)

Please share if you can't help. The right person may see this and change Maui's life forever. ❤️

Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone in or near Asheville can help a very special dog named Buddy Blue.
https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-foster/

Buddy Blue is a 7-year-old, 68 lb Lab mix currently in foster care, but his foster family needs help for the month of July, and we're urgently searching for either a temporary foster or his forever home.

The best part? Fostering is completely free. CrisisDogsNC provides food, supplies, medications, and support. You just provide a safe place and love.

Buddy has been through a lot. He arrived with severe skin issues, but thanks to treatment and love, he's healing beautifully. Despite everything, he's remained one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet.

🐾 Low-to-medium energy
🐾 Loves fetch and then cuddling on the couch
🐾 House trained and crate trained
🐾 Trustworthy with free roam
🐾 Good with dogs (with proper introductions)
🐾 Good with cats
🐾 Best with older, respectful kids
🐾 Highly food and toy motivated and eager to please

He's not looking for perfection. He just needs a soft place to land while his foster family is away—or even better, a family of his own.

His allergies are well-managed with Apoquel/Cytopoint, and he doesn't need marathon hikes or endless entertainment. A little fetch, a short walk, and being near his people make him happy.

If you've ever thought about fostering, even short-term, Buddy Blue could truly use your help. July is just one month, but it could mean everything to him.

📍 Currently in Asheville, NC (transport may be possible for the right fit)

💙 Fostering is FREE
💙 Food, supplies, and medical care are provided
💙 Even sharing this post could help him find his person

Thank you for reading. Senior dogs like Buddy Blue deserve happy endings too. ❤️🐾

These 9 rescue dogs all have one heartbreaking thing in common:

Almost nobody has applied for them.

Some have gotten 0 applications.
A couple may have gotten 1.

That’s it.

Meanwhile, tiny puppies and small dogs get flooded with interest almost instantly. These medium-to-large dogs just keep getting overlooked — not because they’re bad dogs, but simply because of their size.

And honestly? It’s hard to watch.

Every single one of these dogs is someone’s future best friend. A couch buddy. A hiking partner. A family member. They’re loving, funny, affectionate dogs who deserve homes just as much as the little fluffy puppies everyone rushes to adopt.

Here they are:

Bella

Rebel

Roni

Sable

Some are goofy and energetic.
Some are calm couch potatoes.
Some are social butterflies.
Some are gentle old souls.

But all of them are sitting there wondering why nobody picks them.

Lukas especially needs help right now and urgently needs either a foster or adopter. Fostering is FREE!

A lot of people assume medium/large dogs are “too much,” but many of these dogs are incredibly easy companions who just want love, routine, and a safe place to belong.

Please consider taking a look at them. And if you can’t adopt, sharing really does help more than people realize. Sometimes the right person just hasn’t seen them yet.

Thanks for reading ❤️
