Message [email protected] or cell 3035013280 for more information or to adopt the pet.Meet Trot – A Snuggle Bug in Search of His Safe Haven Earlier this year, a sweet, stray dog wandered onto our property in Morganton. No tags, no collar and still fully intact, this soulful pup—who we named Trot—just… stayed. He got along beautifully with our resident dog and seemed to make himself at home instantly, so when it was time to head back to Weaverville, we brought him with us.Trot is likely a young adult; not quite a puppy, but still full of youthful charm. He had clearly never been on stairs or hardwood floors, but he adjusted quickly and house-trained like a pro. From day one, he has been an absolute delight: affectionate, cuddly (the hardest snuggler we’ve ever met), kennel trained and very submissive.We suspect he might be part Plott hound, possibly a former bear dog. Whatever his past, it’s clear he has known both hardship and kindness—and he gives love generously.Here’s the good: Fixed and vaccinated Gets along with dogs, cats, and kids Does great at doggy daycare Fully house-trained and snuggly as can beBut here's the challenge:Trot is extremely reactive to stimuli outside the home—cars, bikes, strangers on trails. He doesn’t just bark; he screams. We’ve tried everything: counter-conditioning, treats, training, CBD, calming collars—you name it. It truly feels like Trot has PTSD-like responses, and walking him feels heartbreaking—for him and for us. He knows how to heel and wants to do well, but his environment overwhelms him.We deeply love him, but we also know he needs something we can’t give: a quiet, low-stimulation home, likely in a rural setting, where he feels safe and steady. Somewhere without the triggers of modern neighborhood life.If you have a calm home and a big heart, Trot could be your loyal shadow. He's quirky, loving and deserving of a life that fits his sensitive soul.Please message us if you think you might be Trot’s forever place. We are committed to finding him the right home and are happy to talk through all the details. Message Jessica at [email protected] or cell 303-501-3280.
Contribute to Trot's Stash!
100% of Trot's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Trot.
Adopt Trot and Receive Trot's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Trot's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Trot's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Trot, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Trot's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Trot was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Trot’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Trot’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Trot’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
