Mary Jane – Sweet Senior Snugglebug Looking for a Soft Landing

Mary Jane is a gentle 10 year old senior girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles. This petite sweetheart has taken well to crate life — she happily trots to her pen when told “go to bed,” especially if there’s a tiny treat involved. While she’s still working on house training, she responds warmly to praise and is improving with consistency.

She’s gradually getting the hang of leash walking.  She loves free play in the yard or a calming stroller ride. With patience and practice, Mary Jane is showing she can become a reliable little walker.

New people can feel a bit intimidating to her at first, but if she’s being held, she blossoms quickly. On a beach outing, she was snuggling with her foster’s family by day one — a perfect example of her affectionate nature once she feels safe. She’s also timid around other dogs but shows potential for positive introductions.

Mary Jane is mostly quiet, with the occasional alert bark when startled. She would do well in an apartment setting and can absolutely be an only dog. Her energy level is moderate — she loves exploring with her buddy Rowdy, but she’s just as thrilled to curl up in your lap for hours. A fenced yard isn’t required; she’ll do fine with leash walks for potty breaks and exercise.

Why adopt Mary Jane? Because she’s an adorable, devoted little companion who brings joy with her snuggles, gentle playfulness, and her happy morning greetings. She’s fun, she’s loving, and she’s ready to be someone’s cherished best friend.

EVERY DOG HAS A STORY:   Mary Jane's owner passed away.  She was admitted into BFPA to find her forever home.  

Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. 

 Applicants ideally should live no more 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 therefore prefer to adopt locally in the Cary NC area.  For the perfect home for Mary Jane, we may consider a distance a bit further.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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. Current adoption fees can be found on our website.

Pets can be met during our adoption events (mostly on Saturdays) or by arrangements with the foster family.

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.
