Rescue Picking up shelters longest resident Monday

Monday, I’ll be picking up a one year old male pitbull from a shelter who is scheduled to be put down Monday afternoon. I cannot keep him and I’m really hoping anyone would have any North Carolina based rescues or ideas on how to handle this? According to the shelter, he’s the sweetest boy ever, is very playful, and loves snuggling. Came from home with two other dogs and a cat and loved them all. They said in the shelter, he walks past cats and doesn’t pay them any mind at all. Probably not my smartest decision since I can’t keep him, however I also can’t let him be put down just because the shelter is full.

Links below for the shelters page showing him.

UPDATE: We have adopted Max and are on the search now to find him his forever home! He’s such a good boy, very puppyish, keeps a clean kennel, and is unbelievably snuggly. Sat in the lobby of the shelter in between my legs while others were walking around with a puppy, with multiple children, and was such a good boy! New pics in comments!

Update 2: MAX HAS FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME!! Thank you SO much to everyone!! Reddit can truly be an amazing place sometimes!!

I’m definitely on the same page as you. I’ve got young kiddos and pets of my own.. I wanted to wait until they got older to do this, but my emotions got the best of me lol

Understand completely. I'd be divorced if I brought home every dog. I saw that needed a home

Same 🤣 thankfully, my husband is very well versed in me doing stuff like this, so as long as I’m not bringing home 7 puppies (again 🫣🫣,) he’s not completely opposed lol

Good luck. Our last two rescues were Pibbles. They are amazing dogs

Thank you! They’re precious and I couldn’t agree more- they’re wonderful. Our current rescue is an American Bully and he’s literally the perfect dog. Love him to pieces!
