October Labrador Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Newport, NC

Meet October! This sweet guy came into the shelter September 20, 2024 as a stray and was literally skin and bones. With getting additional meals a day he's slowly catching up to the weight he should be at. His life was probably pretty grim before coming to the shelter but he had learned to trust and what it's like to be cared for and how to be a sweet dog. He is a friendly companion who loves to be around his favorite people once he is comfortable with you.. October is curious and loyal, and he's always up for an adventure. He loves to explore and learn new things, and he's always eager to please. He is a wonderful 4 year old companion who is current on shots and would love to share a lifetime of love & adventures with you. If you're looking for a loving and loyal friend, October is the one for you! He will need an owner that will help guide him once in a new home and help build his confidence.
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
