My story

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

(DOB 04/17/2025) This beautiful boy is a high-energy pup with a zest for life and a heart full of love. He's at a perfect age and is bursting with playful energy and needs plenty of space and active human(s) to thrive. A fenced-in yard (4–5 feet high, please!) is a must, so he can run, romp, and zoom to his heart’s content. He’s not an apartment dog; he’s got a bit of a voice and isn’t afraid to use it when he's excited or trying to communicate.



This smart boy is curious, treat-motivated, and eager to learn. Orion loves being outside, going on long walks (still working on nice walking on leash), and coming home ready for more playtime. He does best when he's mentally and physically engaged, so puzzle toys, training games, and active play are right up his alley. 



Orion is crate trained and already showing signs of being a great communicator. He’ll let you know when he needs a potty break, but like most puppies his age, he’s still working on full house training and does best with supervision. He’d love a home full of toys, tasty chew bones, and people who enjoy the silly side of puppy life.



While Orion may still want to play with the resident kitty, he could coexist with a confident, dog-savvy cat who doesn’t mind a little puppy curiosity. Orion needs another playful dog in the home — he truly shines when he has a buddy to wrestle with, chase around the yard, and help burn off his extra energy. If you already have a dog who could use a fun-loving sibling, Orion could be the perfect match! He would also do well with kids who are ready for puppy energy and enjoy outdoor play, or with active adults who can give him the structure and activity he craves.



As part of Orion’s $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.   If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Orion, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Review the description of the pet you are interested in to make sure that the information we have fits with your particular needs and desires. In most cases, the information on the website is current and gives the information that we have about the particular pet. The picture of the pet does not tell the whole story.

2. Complete the adoption application at https://pawsforlifenc.org. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the pet you have chosen is a good match for your home.

3. Once the application is submitted we will contact you, your references, and your vet.

4. We require a home visit prior to dog adoptions.

5. If more than one person applies, we will go with the BEST fit. If all things are equal, we go in the order the applications were received.

6. Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement.

7. The adoption fee is $325 for dogs under 6 months, $300 for 6 months and older. The adoption fee is $125 for kittens under 1 year ($225 for 2 kittens), $85 for cats 1 year and older. This fee helps us to provide the necessary medical care and other needs for the pets while in foster care.

8. All Paws For Life NC pets are spayed or neutered if old enough, current on shots, micro chipped, and to our knowledge, in good health before they are adopted out. Puppies under 6 months of age will require a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee and a special puppy spay/neuter agreement. Kittens under 6 months will require a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee. We are all volunteers and receive no monetary compensation for our work with the pets. The adoption fee is used to help defray costs in the rescue and care of the pets.

9. Congratulations! You are on your way to having your new companion. We hope that you and your new companion share a life of love and happiness. We welcome any comments you may wish to give us about your pet at any time.
