Furry Friday: Meet Charlene!
Oh, Charlene – how she stole our hearts at the Wake County Animal Center! She has been at the WCAC since April and is quite overwhelmed in a shelter environment, giving her a timid look on her sweet face. She finds comfort when volunteers sit with her- she turns into a 50-pound lap dog. In the home environment, she will just need a few days to decompress and then her true, wonderful personality will start to flourish.
Charlene is a low-energy, gentle, and calm female dog. She walks well on a leash and knows how to sit and take treats gently. As one of the volunteers said, “Charlene loves hugs and kisses”. Charlene wants you all to herself and needs to be the only dog in the house. Come on over and meet this great dog! Time to cuddle!
Charlene has heartworms but it’s treatable and not contagious. To help with the medical cost, a $400 sponsorship for treatment is provided by Friends of Wake County Animal Center. Email [email protected] for more information.
If you’re interested in learning more about her, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Charlene 248224”.

Furry Friday: Meet Ryan!
Meet Ryan (247084)! He is already neutered and READY TO GO HOME!!!
This handsome two year old is looking for his forever home. He was initially overlooked due to a Cherry eye but recently had it removed and thrived in his temporary foster home post-surgery. Now, he’s more handsome than ever!
Ryan is a big, strong boy and enjoys walks outside, especially if there are birds, squirrels, or rabbits to spot (make sure to walk him with a harness because he will spot them before you do and try to chase them – hold that leash!). He’s crate trained (just throw a few treats in there and he’ll easily go in) and won’t potty in his crate. Ryan adores playing with toys and chewing on bones, but treats are the best things EVER! If you’re someone with a fenced in yard or accustomed to walking bigger dogs and are looking for a loyal companion, Ryan could be your perfect match!
During a playgroup session, Ryan was quite confident playing with female dogs. He has not had stellar interactions with male dogs, so we recommend a home with a confident, tolerant female dog.
He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and already neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
If you’re interested in learning more about him, please reach out to his foster mom at [email protected]

Furry Friday: Meet Cobbler!
Hi, I’m Cobbler! I am a happy-go-lucky and goofy pup who is potty trained and crate trained. I am still working on manners when it comes to respecting personal space and listening to directions faster. I can get hyped up easily and will hop around awkwardly or run away from things that scare me like I’m channeling Scooby Doo. When I’m not following my human around, I enjoy lying next to them on a comfy couch or entertaining myself by gnawing on a bone on my dog bed. I am still uncertain in new situations and can be dog selective, so dog intros should be slow so I can adjust better. I get along fine with the large dogs in my foster home but I would rather follow the humans around. The younger dog and I often wrestle and have good play sessions. I shouldn’t be in a home with cats, I have not played well with the ones I met. To see more pics of me in foster, check out @fosterofdogs on Instagram!

Furry Friday: Meet Stitch!
Meet Stitch (248338)! Don’t those soulful eyes just touch at your heart? This little fella needs a nice, quiet home where he can decompress for a few days so his true personality can shine. He is VERY treat motivated and takes them gently and patiently. Volunteers also noted he perked up a bit when playing with a tennis ball – it was so heartwarming to see him play! Stitch has heartworms but it’s treatable and not contagious. To help with the medical cost, a $400 sponsorship for treatment is provided by Friends of Wake County Animal Center. Email [email protected] for more information.
If you’re interested in learning more about Stitch, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Stitch 248338.”

Furry Friday: Meet King!
King is already neutered and READY TO GO HOME TODAY! People often call King funny because he has a goofball sense of humor. He’s a goofy, high-energy, 2-year-old pup who will keep you laughing. His favorite hobbies are playing fetch, playing with other dogs, and giving lots of kisses. He’s been working on some training with his foster dad and is making good progress!
Due to his rougher play style and still having puppy tendencies, he is not suitable for small children or cats, but if your dog likes to roughhouse, he loves playing like that! He is crate trained and should be let outside to potty immediately once out of the crate to prevent any accidents. He has a sensitive stomach and does well with Pedigree dog food. Most importantly, King will be true to his name by being the King of snuggling.
If you’re interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “King – 225714”
King is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and already neutered. If you have dogs, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.

Furry Friday: Meet Amelia Braveheart!
Amelia Braveheart (247314) is an absolute delight. She enjoys cuddling and giving kisses. The shelter environment is scary for her and she doesn’t quite understand a leash (she will just pancake on the ground and not move) – the volunteers have to pick her up to get her outside to grass for her potty breaks. In a home environment, once she warms up, she will make someone an amazing, loyal dog.
During a recent playgroup session, Amelia Braveheart seemed overwhelmed, frightened, and under socialized. She may require a home with no other dogs or very slow introductions over the course of a few days to ensure successful cohabitation.
If you’re interested in learning more about her, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Amelia Bravehart 247314”.
She is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be spayed prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.

Furry Friday: Meet Yogi!
Meet Yogi (247064)! For Yogi’s photoshoot session, the volunteers were laughing at him stating he was just like a bull in a China shop. Yogi doesn’t know how big or strong he is. He would do best either in a fenced in yard or wearing a harness during a walk. He immediately became enamored with a little plush toy so stock up on the toys for this guy!
He really enjoyed rolling around in the grass, which made for some cute photos. He also enjoyed treats and already knows “sit” and “down”. All in all, he’s just a big, dopey boy that just wanted to play!
During a recent playgroup session, volunteers stated he was big, strong, and a little too playful at times for his playmates liking which required volunteer intervention to slow him down. Yogi loved the thrill of the chase, but he plays on the rougher side. As big as he is, and with his overzealous energy, he would be intimidating to most other dogs. He would likely do best with a sturdy, confident female who likes rough and tumble play.
If you’re interested in learning more about Yogi, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line ” Yogi 247064″.
