North Carolina Shelters List 32 Adoptable Great Danes Amidst Rising Rescue Efforts

North Carolina Shelters List 32 Adoptable Great Danes Amidst Rising Rescue Efforts

As of November 13, 2026, 32 Great Danes are available for adoption across 21 counties in North Carolina, according to the NC Pet Project. Lincoln County has the highest number with six, followed by Catawba and Wake Counties, each with three. Approximately 69% of these dogs are listed by rescue organizations, while 31% are with public and nonprofit shelters. A significant portion, about 66%, are housed in foster homes, necessitating appointments for visits. The typical age for these adoptable Great Danes, based on 21 dogs with listed ages, is around two years. The NC Pet Project compiles these listings from 372 North Carolina shelters and rescues, with daily updates to reflect new additions and adoptions. Breed labels are based on staff estimations rather than DNA tests, meaning a dog's actual breed mix might differ from its listing.

Durham Faces Potential Stage 3 Water Restrictions Amid Worsening Drought Conditions

Durham, North Carolina, is facing the possibility of moving to Stage 3 water restrictions due to worsening drought conditions across the state. City officials report that Durham currently has approximately 78 days of accessible water remaining, an estimate based on no additional rainfall and no further water inflow from rivers. The city's total water supply is estimated at 147 days. Durham has been under Stage 2 water restrictions since June 15. James Lim, a Durham water official, indicated that Stage 3 restrictions would largely eliminate outdoor water use, though hand watering and drip irrigation might still be permitted. The city has a 20-inch rainfall deficit, and hopes for a major rain event, such as a hurricane, did not materialize.

North Carolina State University Chancellor Kevin Howell publicly addressed serious hazing allegations involving the Sigma Nu fraternity on November 12.

He described the details from search warrants related to the investigation as 'deplorable.'

A strong high-pressure system extending from central Canada into the mid-Mississippi Valley is bringing unseasonably cold temperatures to Columbus County, North Carolina.
