UPDATE: Report sightings to Tucker K-9 Search & Rescue: 704-400-0110
Location: 601-S near Landsford Rd (05-23-26)

“It’s the cruelest thing I’ve seen in a long time.” When a state patrol officer says those words, you don’t forget it. 💔

He had spotted a German Shepherd with its rear legs hobbled (intentionally tied up) along the side of 601 in a remote area of Union County. They don’t have rescue equipment and there was little he could do after it limped into the woods.

The officer provided us a detailed location, and we went searching. At first, we thought the dog was gone (since it was hours later) and were preparing to leave when suddenly, it emerged from the woods and began limping along the busy highway. It must have chewed off the binding on its rear legs.

One quick phone call brought Tucker K-9 Search & Rescue and drone volunteers immediately into action to help. 🙌🏼 They are currently searcing.

Now we need 🫵🏻 your help. We need:
• Medical pledges for vet care (rear legs likely hurt)
• Open foster willing for stray hold and beyond
• GSD breed rescue support
• Shares to get more eyes on this effort

Please pledge, like, comment and share to help this dog find safety. And please keep the volunteers searching through rain in your prayers tonight. ❤️🐾

Safe- Donations can be sent to Forgotten, Now Family Rescue ❤️

Mom and puppies need rescue. 💔 🆘

Pepper is a 2-year-old, 44-pound wirehaired pointer mix. She arrived at the shelter as a stray with 8 newborn puppies (estimated 2–3 days old at intake)

• Sweet, loving, and gentle with staff despite stressful circumstances
• Appears to be an attentive mother to her puppies
• Puppies are healthy and thriving
• No owner has come forward during stray hold which she currently is still on (5/22)
• Heartworm negative and had rabies vaccine

A Shelter environment is especially difficult for a nursing mother with very young puppies. Pepper and puppies need rescue commitment ASAP.

UPDATE: Volunteers have been unable to find the dog. However, if anyone finds him we have an emergency place for him. Please comment if you find him.

Courtesy post and cautious plea for Good Samaritan support. 💔🙏🏻 This poor dog was seen along the side of the road around Crowders Rd & Monroe White Store Rd.

It appears starved, older and has a possibly leg injury. This dog may be lost, abandoned and need medical care.

If anyone can check on whether the dog is still there, we would advise the dog be taken to the Shelter or a private vet office to be scanned for a microchip. If you become involved, you may need to keep this dog contained overnight until offices reopen tomorrow.

Never attempt to handle an unknown dog if it shows signs of aggression. Always use leashes and a crate.
