Every Dog Has a Story

Chapter 1: The Dogs We Serve

Still Waiting, Still Wonderful.


At Saving Grace, most dogs find their families within about 45 days.


Then there are dogs like Gidget.


Gidget has been waiting nearly seven months.


She arrived in March and, despite being one of the sweetest dogs on our farm, is still waiting for someone to choose her.


At 10 years old, Gidget is everything many adopters say they're looking for: friendly, intelligent, easy-going, and happiest when she's spending time with people. Whether she's enjoying a walk, spending time with volunteers, or participating in our Going Out Program, Gidget consistently shows us what a wonderful companion she can be.


The truth is that some adult and senior dogs simply wait longer. Sometimes it's their age. Sometimes it's their breed. Sometimes there is no obvious reason at all.


At Saving Grace, healthy adult dogs live on-site, where they spend their days socializing with other dogs, interacting with volunteers and potential adopters, and building the skills that help them succeed in a home. Working with more than 29 shelter partners across North Carolina, we carefully select dogs we believe will thrive in our unique environment and deserve a second chance.


We know Gidget's family is out there. They just haven't met her yet.


To help her find the home she deserves, Gidget's adoption fee has been waived for approved adopters who are current or previous Saving Grace adopters, volunteers, or hosts.


Could Gidget be the next chapter you've been waiting for?

Senior Sweetheart Seeking a Forever Home🐾

Adoption fee waived for prior adopters, fosters, and hosts!



Marco Polo may be a senior, but he certainly doesn’t act like one! This sweet, mellow boy loves long walks, exploring the yard, car rides, and spending time with his people. A fenced-in yard would be a dream for this curious guy.

He has been a wonderful house companion for his foster, sleeping quietly through the night, and happily wearing a belly band indoors when needed.



Marco gets along well with everyone and is simply looking for someone to love him through his golden years.


Could you be Marco’s forever family? Make an appointment to meet this lovable senior today!
