My story

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

(DOB 06/30/2016) Chewy has the cutest playtime habits, and he will grab his toys and run outside and toss them for himself, and he will do the most adorable happy spins when he's excited. Chewy would love some children in his home (6+ yrs) that want several daily doses of doggie playtime. Chewy is also in need of a fenced yard (4ft+ solid panel/small gaps), so he can run, rump and retrieve. He loves fetch, too. Oh, and, Chewy loves playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a doggie friend that can match his energy and playful spirit. He play-nips (never bites!) and is very gentle, even with his much older Shih Tzu foster sibling. How darling is that?



More great things about Chewy - his little size packs a big heart and an even bigger personality! He's a total sweetheart who absolutely loves cuddles and belly rubs. Whether he's curled up beside you on the couch or snuggled in your lap, Chewy is happiest when he’s close to his humans. He’ll gladly sleep on the sofa or in bed with you, and he would much rather be with you than crated (especially when he knows you’re home). 



Chewy is, also, super smart and eager to please. He knows phrases like “Want to go outside?”, and recognizes it’s time for a car ride when you grab his leash—he rides great in the backseat, too! 



Chewy does not love the sound of thunder and will need you to be patient and understanding. He is house and crate trained and is working on walking nicely on a leash. He’s never chewed on anything that isn’t his, and he hasn’t destroyed a thing while in foster care. When introducing Chewy to new people, give him some time and let him be slowly introduced without a lot of rushy-rushy. Keep it cool, calm, and slow...that's the way to go. 



Chewy is a lovable, silly, loyal companion who would make a wonderful addition to a family ready for fun, play, and lots of snuggles. Come meet this special boy—you’re sure to fall in love!



As part of Chewy’s $300 adoption fee, he is 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 handsome pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Chewy, you can complete 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.
