Shuffles
Shuffles came into the shelter yesterday with injuries to her neck and tail. Both wounds were infected and had maggots in them. After she was cleaned up, we took her to one of our vets where her tail will need to be amputated.
Shuffles gets her name because of her feet. You see, Shuffles has extra toes on her feet making her an extra special polydactyl kitty!
Shuffles will need a foster home once she is discharged from the vet. Please go to www.dcanimalliance.org, click on “fostering” and complete a foster application if you can help us with this sweet little girl.

Gemma update
An update on our precious sweet senior….
From Gemma’s foster mom:
“I’ve been kind of private about our new foster because I’m not sure how long she will be with us and we’re mostly focused on making her comfortable. But today someone callously asked me “why would anyone foster a blind and deaf dog? Why would you spend resources that way?” Well, this is why. She is enjoying herself. She eagerly eats and drinks and willingly takes her meds. Last night — finally — she smelled our dinner and got out of her bed to come and lay down near us. She knows her path in and out of our back door and up and down one step to walk around in the soft grass and smell all the smells and go potty. She has never had an accident in our house. It is amazing to watch her navigate her surroundings and find her way back to the gate and back inside to her soft bed. She has good days and bad days and today I’ve seen an improved activity level that gives me great comfort. Tomorrow may be different but we will take one day at a time sweet girl. ❤️”
Penelope
Meet Penelope! She is currently fostered with dogs, a cat, and school aged kids- she loves them all! This sweet girl is 5 months old, 27 lbs, possibly a hound mix, and she is house and crate trained! This girl gets the zoomies and is eager to greet you, but she can lay down and relax also. She deserves the best forever home and is ready to be adopted!
Her adoption fee is $125 and includes her age appropriate vaccinations, spay, and microchip!
If you are interested in meeting this cutie patootie, please complete an adoption application from our website, www.dcanimalalliance.org.
Shelter is FULL
It seems that people don’t believe when the shelter says “we’re full”. I walked through today and only paused my video between the 2 kennels so the video wouldn’t be too long. I wanted you to see that literally, EVERY SINGLE KENNEL IS FULL.
All dogs in the yellow part of the video are available for adoption. You can contact the shelter or go to Davidson County Animal Shelter NC for more information.
If you are interested in any of the dogs in the red video, please contact us or another local rescue immediately.
Our foster application can be found at www.dcanimalalliance.org.
Jarvis
Jarvis is just 5 months old and already finds himself as an unwanted stray at the shelter. As cute and as sweet as he is, he does have a little problem. As you can see from the video and photos, Jarvis has an injury to his shoulder. Maybe it’s just dislocated, maybe it’s a break that’s healed wrong. We need to get Jarvis in to the vet for some X-rays but we need to find him a foster home. Taking him to the vet does neither him or the shelter any good if we just have to take him back there - and let’s face it, the shelter is no place for a puppy, especially one that may need surgery. The good news is that Jarvis doesn’t seem to be in any real pain.
If you can foster Jarvis while we get him taken care of and until we can find him a loving home, please visit www.dcanimalalliance.org, click on “fostering”, and submit a foster application.
Hunter update
Forget living on a chain ever again! Hunter is getting used to living the posh life with his foster family and he is doing well adjusting to 3 legs. He goes back to the vet next month to start heart worm treatment. In the meantime, it’s just relaxing and healing for this sweet boy.
This guy has some exciting news to share! Cousin Eddie passed his CGC test and is an official Canine Good Citizen! The AKC Canine Good Citizen™ (CGC) program focuses on responsible dog ownership for the owners and basic obedience and good manners for dogs, so that they learn to behave properly and be polite while being a part of society. The CGC Test includes different types of behaviors (10 steps) that canines should be able to exhibit in order to be welcomed by the general public. This DOES NOT make them a service dog! It only teaches them how to behave in public, PET FRIENDLY places. Both pure breeds and mixed breeds can join the Canine Good Citizen program and there are also no limitations in regard to the age of the dogs who can take the test. Help us congratulate Cousin Eddie and his trainer, Katie Koontz, for a job well done!
