Sky— Best Actress in a Sup-purr-ting Role

Sky is a mature lady who can be a little nervous in new places and with new people, but with time to settle in, she’s truly sweet. When she isn’t just curled up in her favorite comfy nooks or getting slow, gentle pets, Sky enjoys playing with wand toys! 

Joshua—Mew-sic (Original Score)

This regal older gentleman is a sweet boy who can be a little shy but eventually warms up. He enjoys playing with the humans he trusts, and while independent, enjoys being by his people’s sides.

Squirrel—Cuddliest Actress 

Squirrel loves playing with pom-pom balls, climbing her extra tall three-foot scratching post and playing chase with her cat buddy. She can also be a lap cat and enjoys cuddling with her foster family while watching TV. 

Ketchup and Luna—Co-stars in a Meow-tion Picture

Ketchup and Luna can be shy and first but feel most relaxed around one another, so they must go home together. They would do best in a home without other pets so they can soak up all your love and affection! 

Category: North Carolina Dogs  

Kong— Most Handsome Boy Award

Kong is a sweet and gentle boy who really loves playing with other dogs. He loves being outside, is exceptional with leash walking—he even walks by your side—and loves a good butt scratch! 

Teacup—Best Paw-formance as a Leading Lady

This beautiful, shy and sweet girl with a big smile and playful spirit is ready for a home! Her curiosity will charm you as you watch her investigate the great big world out there.  

Cheddar— Best “Extra Cheesy” Director

Stevarino—Actor in an Ani-mane-ted Film

Stevarino, lovingly known as Steve, is very sweet and friendly and has the potential to make a lovely riding horse!

Bryce—Neigh-rrator 

Bryce was surrendered to the ranch pregnant, and within a few weeks had her foal on the ranch. She really enjoys attention and once haltered, leads well and can be worked on or off a lead line in a round pen. 

Fern—Best Mini Series    

Fern thinks she is the queen bee wherever she goes! She is easy to handle and stands nicely for vet and farrier. In a new home she would do best as a companion to full-sized mares who are not low in the pecking order. 

Thicket— Best Donkumentary 

Thicket is a standard donkey who was found running loose near a busy highway. He could use a soft place to land with a caring and patient adopter. Like all other donkeys, Thicket is intelligent and a deep thinker, so we just know someone would love to have this guy in their life!
