Story
Meet Selena! This super sweet, energetic, and loving girl is ready for her forever home! She is an absolute goofball and is welcoming to any and everyone. It's hard not to fall in love with her. Selena is fully potty trained and has had no accidents despite recently living in a boarding facility. Selena is a high energy dog who loves to run around and burn off lots of energy! Her favorite thing to do is go on a long walk at the end of the day. Selena would thrive with an owner who can dedicate a couple of hours a day of exercising her. Selena would best fit in a home with no cats or small animals given her history of liking to chase small animals. Selena is quite the escape artist and can break out of a normal wire crate. She is also super snuggly and loves getting lots of attention. She does have a heart murmur that has been assessed by a cardiologist - she has no symptoms, so she is currently on a twice a day pill that she takes in a treat! If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly, and energetic pup, Selena might be the perfect match for you!Adoption fee of $150 includes spay, microchip, vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing, and heartworm/flea/tick preventionApply here: https://2pawsup.org/applications/adoption-application/March 11, 2026, 12:57 am

Story
Meet Apollo 🐾 Apollo is a 14-month-old pit bull with a big personality, a bigger heart, and an endless supply of joy. This sweet wild man is playful, curious, and absolutely loves being near his people. If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy who also brings the fun, Apollo is your guy. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and spends his days romping around the backyard with his foster siblings, toys in tow. Toys are a must in Apollo’s world, and playtime is one of his favorite things—right alongside snuggling up close to his humans. Apollo is a smart, food-motivated boy who already knows sit and is currently working on down. Training is going well, especially when treats are involved (fair warning: his favorite game is counter surfing 😄). He’s also learned to use the dog door and has been very reliable about going outside when he needs to. Now, a few things to know about Apollo’s unique charm: he’s a bit of an escape artist and doesn’t love being left alone in a crate. In fact, he’s managed to break out of several kinds—only to be found later, very proud of himself, relaxing on the couch with a toy. He will lay down calmly in his crate if he knows you’re in the room, because Apollo really just wants company. Apollo is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm, but don’t let that fool you—his spirit is unstoppable, and his happiness shines through every day. This playful goofball turned cuddle bug is ready for a forever home that will embrace his energy, continue his training, laugh at his antics, and give him the love he craves. If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate, toy-loving companion, Apollo can’t wait to meet you. ❤️🐶

Story
Meet Kirby, an absolute fan-favorite of our volunteers! This sweet, happy boy is always ready to greet you with a big smile and plenty of affection. He loves being around people, and is a smart, attentive dog who listens well and is eager to please.Kirby is house trained and knows his basic commands including "sit", "stay" and "leave it." He is a great walking partner who does not pull on his leash, loves going on car rides and new adventures, and is the kind of companion who is happiest when included in your everyday life. Demonstrating what a well-behaved boy he is, Kirby will offer his paw for a friendly handshake if asked, but he will not jump up on people or furniture. This good-natured guy has a perfect balance of energy and calm. He enjoys being outside for walks and adventures, but once home, he settles down quickly and is happy to relax. He also looks for your cues for when it is time to wake up in the morning. Kirby would be delighted to be an only dog and get 100% of your love, but he can peacefully co-exist with another female dog. Kirby does need to be in a cat-free home. Kirby is up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, microchipped, neutered, and receiving treatment for heartworms. He is excited to find his forever family and to becoming your loyal, loving companion.Kirby is currently living in a foster home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Hello world, my name is Penny, but I also go by Penn, Penny Girl, and Girly Brown. And I am such a sweet girl!  I love adventure but also love to snuggle. I play hard but regularly stop by to get some loving from my foster parents. I play with my siblings, but I'm happy to do my own thing too. I was very clumsy when I was younger but am turning into a graceful young lady (or am trying to anyway. My adorable clumsiness hasn't completely left me.). My siblings and I were found tossed in a bag inside a dumpster.  Luckily, the rescue saved us and now we are doing all the puppy things that puppies are supposed to do. The adoption fee is $400, which covers vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed. Please go to https://www.pawfectmatch.org/animals/search? and search on the dog name to see more photos, browse the profile, and complete an application!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Maxie would really benefit from a Foster to Adopt Family. She is shy and slow to gain confidence and perhaps a gentle but confident fur sibling could help her come out of her shell. She will need lots of patience and love but we believe in her and the potential she has, as she is still a young girl. I am a sweet girl looking for my forever home.  I started out kind of rough, with parvo but I am 100% healthy now! I am a quiet girl. I like to observe what is going on around me, but once it is time to play, watch out world. I am doing really well on a leash, and I love to ride in the car. If you are looking for a loyal girl, I just might be your Pawfect Match.  The adoption fee is $400, which covers vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All dogs on the Best Friend Pet Adoption website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered or meet any of our dogs.  The link to our application is  https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC.       FOSTER COMMENTS:  Meet Apricot – The Sweetest Little Shadow You’ll Ever Have! Looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep you smiling and your heart full?  Apricot, a smart, affectionate, and curious 8 month old  pup who’s just waiting for his forever family.  He didn't have the easiest start to life, but he is learning all about people and other dogs and making big strides! Apricot is crate trained, housebroken, and walks nicely on a leash—a total gentleman in the home and out on adventures. He has a moderate energy level: happy to join you for walks and playtime but also excellent at settling down for snuggles and naps. In fact, Apricot is a certified cuddle bug—he loves following his humans around and being part of whatever you’re doing. He enjoys meeting new people, can be a little cautious at first, but once he warms up, his loving and goofy personality shines. Apricot is cautious with new dog friends,  so he’d do best with calm, patient canine companions—or he’d be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as your one and only. He’s best suited for homes with older kids,  and while he doesn’t need a fenced yard, he’ll thrive with daily walks and quality time with his people. Whether you live in an apartment or a house, work from home or go into the office, Apricot will adjust beautifully. He’s smart, eager to please, and still learning about the world—a wonderful mix of playful curiosity and easy companionship. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate pup who will bring warmth and joy to your days, Apricot is ready to be your best friend.  Adopt Apricot—your sweet, snuggly shadow is waiting! To help him become the best dog possible, his adopter will be given additional training sessions with our preferred training facility for 4 months (or 12 sessions) of free 1:1 training.  This is a great benefit for both Apricot and his new home.  Apricot is part of a puppy litter that someone was giving away for free.  Best Friend Pet Adoption admitted them to our rescue to make sure they have proper medical care and find loving homes.   Could one of those homes be with you?  Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Applicants ideally should live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a Best Friend Pet Adoption veterinarian in the Cary area 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 applicants live within an hours drive of Cary NC.

Story
Meet BearBear is a beautiful purebred XL Bully from Concrete Bully Kennels in Texas. He comes with registration papers and a beautiful sire line. We brought him home at 12 weeks old in 2020 and he's been a deeply loved part of our family ever since. His birthday is November 1.At 90+ lbs, Bear is a big, strong dog with a sweet heart and demeanor. In his time with us, he's lived with a senior dog, welcomed two new babies into our home, and is now surrounded by three young boys (3, 5 and 7 yrs) and a dog named Moose (2yrs). He has only shown a wonderful temperament with other dogs, our chickens, guinea pigs, and any other animal friends that have crossed his path.Bear is house/potty trained, very low shedding, affectionate and happiest simply sitting beside the family. We are only rehoming Bear (and Moose) given that one of our children has been diagnosed with an allergy to dogs. Our priority and hope is that he finds a perfect home where he'll continue to be treated as family.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All dogs on our website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered or meet any of our dogs.  The link to our application is in the dogs bio below or at https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC  .      Herbie loves people.  He gets excited but doesn't bark or jump when people come in the house or when we walk by people outside. He sleeps by himself on the sofa during the day and all night, but loves it best when someone sits with him. He wants to be a lap dog!    Herbie loves food but is very patient when he is fed. He sits and waits for "OK" when we put his food bowl down.  He's pretty gentle taking treats and loves to work food puzzles.    Herbie loves our two 30 min walks.  But he would probably like even more walks.  He goes outside in the yard a few times a day to do his business but he doesn't just hang out in the yard or on the deck very long unless a human is with him.  He is a people focused dog! We think he'd do fine with a house or apt with no fenced yard and a just walks.   Herbie does fine on walks but does need further leash walking skills.  When we pass people he is calm and happy, and he sits on command to let people pass without approaching them. Herbie can be reactive when we see other dogs on walks. We cross the street or move off the trail/sidewalk 6-10 feel to give plenty of room.  He occasionally jumps and barks depeding on the other dog and how close we are. He's making  progress though.     Herbie does not need to be crated. We have left him for 3-4 hours at a time which works fine as long as he's had a walk/meal and is ready to settle for a while.  He is housebroken.   He will stand by the back door and whine to let us know when he needs to go outside.    Herbie is very vocal when riding in a car.  A few trips to the vet is fine.  If  you want a dog for a cross country road trip, Herbie will not be packing his bags to come along with you!    Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Applicants must live no further 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 require applicants to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.    INTERESTED IN ADOPTING HERBIE?
