My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sweet Potato is a sweet, playful, affectionate dog. She loves a good cuddle, playing toss and fetch, as well as rope tug. She is well housetrained and crate trained — sleeps a good 8 hours in the crate without a problem each night. She knows some commands such as look, sit, come, drop it; and she seems very trainable. She plays well with other dogs and loves kids and people; she is also good with self play and self-soothing with her toys. She does bark on appropriate occasions, but doesn’t go crazy with it. We’ve seen no sign of ill temper or aggression, even when she was dopey after her spay surgery.
Sweetie will be a wonderful companion, sweet tempered and well mannered as you let her know what your house rules and expectations are. Her goofy smile and super soft fur will make your day every time you see her!

Are you interested in adopting Sweet Potato or another JCAPL pet you have seen? You'll need to start by completing an adoption application, available online at our website: www.jcapl.org. There is no obligation to adopt by completing an application, however, we do recommend submitting an application as soon as you find an animal you are interested in. We review applications in the order they are received.

Completed applications can be sent via email to help@jcapl.org, faxed to 919-300-5524, or delivered in person by visiting us at one of our adoption events on Saturdays at PetSmart in Garner (White Oak Shopping Center).

We will contact you as soon as possible once we receive your application for Sweet Potato.

Thanks for thinking adoption!

We require an Adoption Application to be completed, an interview with a potential adopter, and sometimes home visits are done and vet references checked when possible. If the potential adopter lives in a rental property, we will need verification from the property owner or management that pets are allowed, how many, and what restrictions may apply. An Adoption Agreement and Medical History form are signed. We require a deposit if the animal is pending a spay or neuter appointment, and monitor follow-up to keep the appointment.

CATS and KITTENS: Our adoptable cats & kittens are at the Luv-A-Pet Centers at PetSmart, White Oak in Garner and in PetSmart Goldsboro).

Cats can be seen during regular store hours by asking a manager or by appointment, with JCAPL. On Saturdays between 10am and 2pm, JCAPL volunteers bring additional cats and kittens to the Luv-A-Pet Center at the Garner location.

We do rotate our cats and kittens regularly so if you see a cat or kitten online, but do not see them at Petsmart, they are most likely taking a break at their foster home. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions about the adoption status of specific cat or kitten.

DOGS and PUPPIES can be seen at the PetSmart at White Oak Shopping Center from 10:00 am until 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays every other week, or by appointment with individual foster homes.
