Story
’m Percy! I am a little over a year old and weigh 64 pounds. I’ve been with Love Mutts Rescue since I was 8 weeks old, so I fortunately only know love and snuggles, which I love to do! I’m up to date on all of my vaccines, neutered, and Heartworm negative. I was so good at the vet, and everyone fell in love with me! I’m an American Staffy mix with Border Collie. I am very athletic and love to swim to cool off after chasing and playing with my foster sisters and brothers. I’m house and crate trained and walk well on my harness. I do need structure in my life because I can get protective of my food, so I don’t mind eating in my crate where I feel comfortable. I’m not a picky eater and I’ll try anything! I love berries, bananas, bread….you name it, I’ll try it! I get along with dogs when I’m properly introduced and learn my boundaries quickly. I would also be ok as an only dog too so I can get all of the love and attention. I’ve not met any cats however my prey drive is high, so I’d be best in a home with no cats. I enjoy long walks, sunshine, balls and toys. I even return the ball about half the time. I absolutely love all people, including kids. I’d be best in a home with older kids though because I think I’m a lapdog and may accidentally knock over a toddler.

Story
This pup is eligible for our Test the Couch program — a 7-day trial adoption to see if your home (and your couch) is the perfect fit. Learn more  https://pipsrescue.org/test-the-couch/ Meet Jolene: The Main Character. Always. At just 36 pounds, Jolene is compact enough to fit in your car, your lap, and your heart—but not your social calendar if it includes other dogs. She’s not here for pack life. She’s here to be your one and only, your ride-or-die, your queen bee. Other dogs? Hard pass. Jolene wants the spotlight, and honestly, she deserves it. She’s currently boarding with a trainer and crushing it—learning the ropes, snuggling her stuffies, and plotting world domination (or at least domination of your couch). She has energy for days, so if your lifestyle is more “let’s hike this trail” and less “let’s binge-watch eight seasons of a show without moving,” she’s your girl. Jolene is accepting applications for: Humans who enjoy brisk walks, stuffed toy destruction, and unwavering loyalty. Households with no other pets (her words, not ours: “I will not be sharing my throne.”) Anyone who has ever looked at a dog and thought, “you might just be a tiny, unbothered celebrity.” Think you’re the chosen one? Apply to foster or adopt at pipsrescue.org. Just don’t bring any other dogs with you. Jolene will see them. She will judge.  $100 of her adoption fee is being sponsored by Ricci Law Firm Injury Lawyers, so her adoption fee is $225  ##1611630##

Story
I got at 6 weeks old from a friend. He is a lab border collie mix. Very friendly and high energy. He does have anxiety and barks when he hears noises outside. He pulls a little on walks and if he sees another dog on walks he immediately tries to go towards them by lunging to play but not to be aggressive. Ive had a knee injury that required surgery. I can no longer take care of him as needed. He is very sweet and is food and treat driven he is 7 yrs old.

Story
(DOB 03/05/2025) Meet Snow.  She is a high-octane bundle of joy wrapped in a sleek, athletic Border Collie mix body. If you’re looking for a dog who will greet you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened—every single time—Snow is your girl. She’s ALWAYS excited to see her people, and her signature move? Launching herself impressively high into the air just to say hello. It’s equal parts hilarious and heart-melting. Underneath all that energy is a total lovebug. Snow lives for attention and belly rubs, and once she’s had her zoomies, she’ll happily melt at your feet to soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. True to her breed mix, Snow is incredibly smart, agile, and eager to work. She’d make an amazing running partner and would absolutely thrive in a home interested in exploring dog sports—especially agility, where she can put her athleticism and quick mind to good use. Snow is dog-friendly and enjoys canine companions, but she does have a healthy prey drive, so she’s looking for a home without cats or small critters. She’s crate trained and does well with house training when kept on a consistent routine. Because of her enthusiastic jumping style, Snow would do best in a home with older kids. She’ll also need an outlet for her energy—either a home with a tall fenced yard or a committed plan for regular doggie daycare or structured exercise. If you’re active, adventurous, and looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep life fun, fast-paced, and full of love, Snow is ready to leap right into your heart (and probably a little into your personal space, too!). As part of Snow’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Snow, you can complete an application online for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2710837##
