My story

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

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



When Rhodie was found 6 months ago, he was weak, itchy, and covered in painful mange. But with a little love and care his journey with Pawfect Match has led him to become a healthy happy dog.

This handsome noodle boy is just around 1 year old and full of playful loving energy. Rhodie is super affectionate and thrives when he has clear rules and boundaries. House broken, crate trained, basic obedience; He's the kind of pup who can zoom around the yard and then settle down quietly to chew on his toys in his crate or cuddle with you on the couch watching TV.

Rhodie loves his people and is eager to please. He's incredibly food and toy motivated, which makes him a fast learner when it comes to training. He thrives with structure and direction and is excited to learn.

Why I ask for Experience:

Rhodie is stranger reactive and gets overstimulated when he sees people or dogs he doesn't know and wants to protect. He may bark and pull when confronting strangers, but this is something that can be worked on with time, consistency, and positive reinforcement. He is already showing signs of improvement with the training we've started with him. He walks beautifully on leash when there are no strangers around.

Once a relationship is built, he is the perfect model and tolerant to everything. Rhodie is being fostered with two other dogs both large and small and coexists very well with them after managing his initial reactivity by having a slow and structured introduction. Now they play and relax freely in the home.

Rhodie is sweet, smart, and just waiting for the right person to come along and help him be the very best version of himself.

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.
