My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.



Hello! My name is Tank! I'm a 4 year old boxer mix that is ready to be your one true love! 

Life has not been the best for me. I had a home but my owner had to give me up. He couldn't care for me, and I had significant hair loss. I was at the shelter for a long time and then this weird thing happened, my shelter home started flooding. I hear people say it was something about a hurricane named Helene. Anyways, this nice lady rescued me, but then her home flooded too! Long story short, Pawfect Match took me in and here I am, looking for a home. 

So now that you know my story let me tell you a little about me. I currently live with my foster dad. It's just me and him. He gives me the best belly rubs, which I love sooooo much! He also plays tug-of-war with me and fetch. Those are my favorite games. In return, I'm a good boy. I use the potty outside and make sure to get in his lap for cuddles so he knows how much I love him! 

Foster dad says I'm a funny guy! I can be a bit dramatic sometimes. Like when foster dad is busy and can't pet me or play with me, I give him a little huff so he knows I'm still here. When foster dad finally remembers me, I do this funny thing when foster dad pets me and I bend my whole body over his leg. I will also stand on him while he sits on the couch just so he remembers I'm there. 

I do all the things most dogs do like potty outside. I'm good in a crate and I never destroy anything in the house. I really don't know why I'm not adopted! I do need to be an only dog but trust me, I'm all the love you need. Please consider adopting me today. I really want to know what a forever home feels like! If it's half as good as a foster home, then I know I'll love it!

Additional adoption info

The final step is to sign the adoption contract and make the adoption donation fee of $400.00. This may seem high, but it is actually a bargain! Your new pet will be up to date on the necessary vaccinations required by the age of the dog at time of adoption, spayed or neutered, on heartworm preventative and flea and tick meds, micro-chipped, groomed, and well on his or her way with basic obedience and house training. All of our dogs will be adopted out with a collar and leash, and a PMR tag.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer rescue organization devoted to saving dogs from shelters, puppy mills, abusive situations and abandonment in North Carolina. Our members foster, transport and help the rescue efforts with their individual skills, experience, knowledge and expertise, and most importantly, their love of dogs.


At Pawfect Match Rescue we believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance regardless of their breed or age.

We take a different approach to rescue. We don’t try to save the masses; we just save ONE at a time and make them the best dog they can be by the time they find their forever homes.

By that we mean that we take them into our homes where they live amongst us and our pets and are treated as one of the family, not as a foster dog. We accomplish this by limiting our fosters to one or two per household.

Besides the basics of crate training and house training, we teach them basic obedience, we groom them, feed them a high quality dog food, and last but not least, we shower them with LOVE and attention that hopefully teaches them to trust again and realize that life really IS good..

We’ll never be able to save them all, no matter how many we try to pull and foster. So we believe that the one at a time approach with the extra TLC allows us to really KNOW the dogs and be able to match them more precisely with their new families.

This ends up being a win- win situation for all involved.

Pawfect Match is all volunteer and relies solely on adoption donation fees and public support. Most times our adoption donations do not cover our medical expenses.
