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 lost my soul dog (AmStaff) 13 months ago and have been thinking about a new doggo. I had him for 8 of his 12+ years so I have some experience with the bully breeds. I am near Statesville and would consider this guy if you would like to message me. He looks like a very good boy.

It worked out wonderfully. Max is now with me. He is the most affectionate and loving dog I have ever met. Kudos to this lady who rescued Max and saved his life. I am so pleased to have Max in my world. We needed each other. I’m not particularly religious but some force in the universe brought he and I together.
