My story

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

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

You MUST submit a Best Friend Pet Adoption application if you are interested in Lucy.  The link to our application is  https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC or at bfpa.org.   

Meet Lucy – the sweetest, most easygoing companion you could ask for!

Lucy is a gentle, affectionate 10-year-old girl who’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by people who appreciate her quiet charm. She’s the perfect mix of independent and affectionate — happy to hang out near you while you work or relax, and always ready for a cozy snuggle or a back scratch (especially if you’ll make a leg bridge for her to crawl under!).

Lucy is completely housebroken and crate trained — in fact, she loves her crate and often goes there on her own for naps. The only reason she’s crated when her foster family leaves the house is because she’s can be a counter-surfer to help keep the kitchen clean by reminding her humans to tidy up!

She has a calm, steady energy level: mostly a laid-back “potato” indoors, but she perks right up when it’s time for her daily walks. Lacey walks beautifully on leash, especially with a front-clip harness, and enjoys 1–2 mile strolls with her fosters. She’s quiet, well-mannered, and perfectly content in any living situation — whether it’s a house with a yard or an apartment with regular leash walks.

Lucy has lived peacefully as both an only dog and with another canine companion, and she’s generally polite but reserved when meeting new dogs. She’s a little timid in public, but she warms up quickly to visitors in her home. She may be a little too interested in cats, so a home without a feline friend would be best.  

Because Lucy values calm and predictability, she would do best in a home with adults or teens rather than young children. She’s quiet, low-maintenance, and incredibly loving — the kind of dog who brings comfort and warmth to every room she’s in.

If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle soul who’s past the puppy chaos and ready to simply be your best friendLucy is your girl. She’ll make every day a little softer, a little calmer, and a whole lot sweeter. ❤️

EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Lucy was adopted from Best Friend Pet Adoption as a young puppy.  Her family gave her a great home but as they expanded their human family, Lucy had a hard time adjusting to having toddlers around.  Her family felt that Lucy (now called Lacey) would do best in a home without children.   

Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  We prefer applicants that live no further than one hour from Cary NC.    Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.  We therefore prefer applicants that live close to Cary NC.  For the  perfect home for Lucy, we may consider applicant who live a bit further away.

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.
