We’re still here ‘cause there are still pets to be saved


I know it’s been a LONG while since I’ve posted. It’s been a busy time at the Foote house as we failed at fostering one Ruby Jewel Nutter Butter Foote. She has settled in with us nicely and we are taking a Canine Good Citizen’s class with Teamworks Dog Training in Raleigh, NC.

Ruby Jewel Nutter Butter - future disc dog!


I have found some time to go to the Wake County Animal Center (WCAC) to take photos of dogs, but I need to get back on a regular schedule. I can tell it has been a while since I’ve been as there is just one guy left who’s looking for his forever family.

George (ID: 74452)

His name is George and he’s about two years old and a Pittie mix. He really is just looking for lots of love and will lean into people just to get more petting. Volunteers say he walks fantastically on a leash and knows “sit.” He’s currently in foster care, but while at the shelter he kept a very clean kennel and went potty whenever he went outside for a walk – a very good indication that he is housebroken. Email me at afureverfamily@yahoo.com and get more information from his foster family or I can put you in touch with them.

The WCAC has been overflowing with cats, dogs, and bunnies for most of the summer. And although you can always go to the website to check out who’s available for adoption, several of us got together and created the Friends of Wake County Animal Center Facebook page where special and urgent requests can be made for dogs and cats in need of rescue. It’s also a great platform to tell the community about the staff and their deep love for all the animals.
