Hi! My name is Cletus and my foster family says I'm the smartest puppy they've ever met! My foster mom is a positive reinforcement dog trainer so my training started early. We're currently working on basic skills like focus, sit, down, come, and leave-it. Promoting manners and patience along the way! I'm crate, house, and potty-trained. I sleep in my crate throughout the entire night without a peep!
I love adventure! Car rides are fine by me. What's that? You wonder if I'm friendly with strangers? You betcha! My foster family is very active so I’m used to a busy home and love it! Although I love a busy and exciting home, I'm a pretty quiet doggo with a moderate energy level. I've been known to stay content in my crate for up to 4 hours at a time.
A fenced yard would be great but isn't totally necessary! I am familiar with a doggy door already so that's a plus if you have one! Being outside is so much fun! I love bonding with my humans, playing with tons of toys, and wrestling with other doggos. I'm an all-around pretty cool pup who would love an outdoorsy companion to take me on hikes and swims at the lake! Let’s go!!

We prefer that applicantst live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We will considered applicants that live a little further away if the fit is perfect for Cleetus.

All of our adoptions require submission of an application which is processed and and must be approved by our adoption coordinator. Potential adopters then take the animal on a trial (minimum of 2 weeks) before the adoption is finalized. This helps to ensure a good fit between the adopting family and the animal. All animals must be up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and microchipped before the adoption can be finalized. Adoption fee is $225 for dogs, $115 for cats.

More about this rescue
Best Friend Pet Adoption (BFPA) is a no-kill animal rescue organization based in central North Carolina. BFPA has no building, office, or shelter. We are an all-foster network committed to helping dogs and cats in need of homes. Individual donations are our most important source of income as we receive no public funding.
Our purpose is to provide medical assistance, foster homes, and adoption services to previously lost, abandoned, abused, or neglected animals in Wake County, NC and the surrounding counties. Our mission is to educate this disposable society in which we live that every life should be valued and cherished and is directly linked to human responsibility and commitment.
Almost all the animals we rescue require immediate medical attention. BFPA never turns away or euthanizes an animal because of the expense involved in returning them to good health. All our rescued animals are evaluated for temperament, examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, microchipped (if possible) and sterilized, if age appropriate. Cats and dogs receive monthly flea/tick preventative and dogs also receive monthly heartworm preventative.
The most important ingredients we provide to these animals are loving care and a safe haven -- something most of them have never experienced. These cats and dogs live in volunteer foster homes until we find them a loving permanent home, however long it takes. We match these precious beings to a single, couple or family who understand cats and dogs should be full participating members of the family. Our hope is that these animals never have to experience being unloved again.
Since our beginning, BFPA has rescued and placed thousands of cats and dogs into their forever homes.
BFPA was created in 1998 by two Raleigh-area women who had volunteered with other established rescues in the Triangle. Their dedication to help homeless dogs and cats has led to an organization that has grown to over 225 volunteers strong.
BFPA received 501(c)(3) status in 1999.
