My story

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

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



Meet Tina (Tina Turner, TT). She is a shy, sweet, smart doggie. She's not too big, not too small, but is a just-right size for loving.

She really enjoys running around the back yard, so a fenced yard is important. Sometimes she just sits on a bench and watches people walk by, looks up at the trees, and chills. When we head into the house, she will follow behind. She has recently started playing with a ball, all on her own. She runs with it, drops it, and then picks it up again to run some more.

Tina would love to have a sibling dog to play with. She needs an active playmate, not the old man that she has now!

Tina is a shy girl and will need some time and patience to warm up to her new family. She still does not come to us on command, but will jump on the sofa to sit by us. She sometimes snuggles up next to us.

She is not aggressive and doesn't bite. We do not know, however, how she would respond to a small child who doesn't know “dog etiquette.” It has been reported from a former foster that she is not friendly to cats. She has chased rabbits a couple of times in our yard, but seems to ignore squirrels and birds.

Tina is neutral to visitors to the house (never any jumping, etc.), and cautious with people she meets away from home. She likes to play with dogs who visit.

Tina understands these words: outside, hungry/eat, no, stay, and her name. She loves her meal times and wants to go outside immediately after she eats. It's not necessarily because she “needs” to, but it's her routine now and dogs love their routines.

She is completely potty trained. In the time that we've had her, she has never had an inside accident. We have bathed Tina in the bathtub without any problems. She tolerates it well.

Tina is not an escape artist. She knows her boundaries. But she is always either leashed or in a fenced yard.

We have had Tina on short and longer car trips. She does well. She likes to look out the windows or else will lay in her bed in the back seat.

She picks up on new behaviors easily. My husband says she is the smartest foster we've ever had.

Tina does not chew things in the house. She has small stuffed toys that she treats as her babies (she had puppies in April) and has a fondness for socks left on the floor. She brings them to her bed and stuffs them into the corners.

Other facts about Tina:
not affected at all by sirens, thunder, or fireworks.
walks on a leash with no problem.
is crate trained.

Please consider adopting Tina before her foster dad falls completely in love with her (if it's not already too late.)

Meet the Pet

All human and canine family members are required to meet. The adoption fee is $400

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.

♥ NOTE - If you have "spam protection" turned on for your email account, please set a white filter to allow emails from pawfectmatch@gmail.com to pass. We will NOT respond to spam protection response emails.

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.
