Story
Omena’s beauty will stop you in your tracks. It’s not just her white‑and‑brown coat and her gorgeous face, but the softness in her expression and the tenderness in her eyes that makes this boxer mix a true beauty. At 49 pounds, Omena carries herself with a gentle curiosity, wanting to meet new dog friends and explore the world, even if she’s still a little shy as she figures things out. She’s done the hard work of raising puppies, and now it’s finally her turn. Omena is ready to find a forever family who will give her the love, attention, and stability she deserves. Her soulful brown eyes convey the bigness of her heart, her sweet spirit, and her quiet hope for a life where she can feel safe, adored, and included. She does well with other dogs and has a nice medium energy level, meaning she will walk with you but is happy to sleep in just as well! If you’re looking for a tender, loving companion who’s ready to blossom now that her mothering days are behind her, Omena is waiting with her gentle curiosity and her beautiful, open heart. Meet her today! **Hiking feedback: " Omena was an absolutely lovely girl. Interacted with all the other dogs well, seemed happy to be with the puppies! Does decent on the leash. Knows how to sit and was more than happy to show that off for some cookies! *Sleepover feedback: "Miss Omena is the sweetest pup ever! She is a very polite house guest and fell right into the comfort of being in a home. She loves to play with toys and loves to snuggle. She will do anything to nuzzle her head on your lap. She played very well with my high energy dog and had a good balance between playing with my dog, toys and sleeping. She doesn’t make a peep at the vacuum or when someone knocks on the door. She walks pretty well on a leash (she is strong!), and loves to try and say hi to anyone walking by! She is a goofy boxer and will make you laugh by rolling around on the floor. She slept perfect in her crate over night and went in without hesitation. *Additional feedback: "Omena is very smart, sweet and happy to meet everyone. She walks surprisingly good on a leash and is fully house-trained. During her stay, she didn’t bark at other dogs or noises and never seemed anxious. She loved playing with our dog and kept trying to get him to play even after he was tired. She also enjoyed toys and slept with us without any incidents.

Story
(DOB 07/31/2021) Nash is heartworm positive, but do not let that stop you from adopting him. He is available for adoption within a 1-hour radius of Wake Forest, NC so he can receive his treatment, which the rescue will cover the expenses for when it is time. And don't worry, our rescue will guide you through the process. Meet Nash—your sweet, squishy, slightly Eeyore-ish lover boy!  Nash is not your usual pup. He may be young, but this boy has the soul of a much older gentleman. He’s wonderfully laid-back, loves his people and is perfectly content to hang out nearby, soaking up attention. He’s not particularly interested in what the other animals are doing and is happy to do his own thing. In fact, “lazy” may be one of his favorite words! When Nash does decide it’s time for fun, he enjoys a good game of tug-of-war and absolutely LOVES his plush toys. Of course, loving plushies means they sometimes meet an unfortunate fate; Nash is determined to discover what’s inside every single one! His other signature move is the "Boxer paw". Want attention? Paw. Want to play? Paw. Want some love? You guessed it…PAW! Nash is a sweet, affectionate boy who enjoys being with his people and has a gentle, easygoing personality. He is fully house trained and crate trained, making him a pretty easy guy to have around. He’s also wonderfully content to keep himself entertained and doesn’t need to be the center of attention every minute. A fenced yard would be ideal for Nash because he currently prefers to do his business off-leash and isn’t quite convinced that potty time should happen while attached to one! With some patient leash training and a little encouragement, he may absolutely learn that going potty on leash is part of the deal. If your idea of the perfect dog is a sweet, goofy, low-key cuddle buddy with occasional bursts of tug-of-war energy and a serious plush-toy demolition hobby, Nash may be your guy. He’s an old soul in a young dog’s body, and he’s ready to paw his way right into your heart! As part of Nash’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Nash, you can complete an application online for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2826132##

Story
(DOB 11/24/2023) Winston is a happy-go-lucky, fun-loving pup who lives life at full speed and with a huge smile on his face! This active, playful boy is always ready for his next adventure...whatever that may be; a game of fetch with his favorite kid, a splash in the water, or a full-on zoomie session around the yard. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you laughing and on your toes, Winston is your guy. Winston absolutely thrives on playtime and wants a fur-ever home with another energetic dog to keep him company and help burn off all that playful energy. This smart boy has a silly streak a mile wide; he loves to play “keep away” and will proudly parade his toys around, hoping you’ll join in the chase. He adores kids and does wonderfully with other dogs, happily showing off his goofy, good-natured personality to everyone he meets. (He hasn’t been around cats, so we aren't sure about that, yet.) Winston says YES to all treats. Which makes training a fun and rewarding experience. The good news? Winston already has a great foundation because he’s house trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. So keep up is daily learning to build a wonderful young, adult dog with amazing manners! Because of his athleticism and enthusiasm, Winston would do best in a home with a fenced (5ft+) yard where he can safely run and play. He can be quite the jumper when he’s feeling determined, so a secure setup and supervision are important to keep him safe and happy. And while Winston is known for his high-energy antics, he does have a softer side too. Every now and then, he’ll slow things down, plop right on top of you, and shower you with kisses and paw taps just to remind you how much he loves you. It’s the perfect balance of spunky and sweet. If you are ready for the very best of both worlds, then this playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion, Winston is ready to bring the fun and the cuddles right into your home! As part of Winston’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Winston, you can complete an application online for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2695840##

Story
(DOB 03/05/2025) Ricky is a tender-hearted Boxer/Border Collie mix with the softest coat and the most endearing, wrinkly little face that always looks just a bit concerned—don’t worry, it only adds to his charm. Beneath that “worried” expression is an absolute sweetheart who loves deeply and bonds closely with his people. Ricky is a true lover boy. He adores affection and gives it right back, often wrapping you up in his signature doggie hugs once he feels safe and comfortable. It’s his favorite way of saying “you’re my person.” He enjoys gentle, playful games like chase and hide-and-seek, and while he’s curious about toys, he’s still figuring out what they’re all about—which just makes him that much more endearing. This sensitive guy can be a little unsure in new or noisy environments, but he takes great comfort in his people and looks to them for reassurance. With a patient, loving home, his confidence will continue to blossom. He’s very food motivated and eager to please, making him a wonderful candidate for continued positive training. Ricky is dog-friendly and would truly thrive in a home with at least one other friendly, confident dog to help show him the ropes. He’s crate trained and does well with house training when kept on a consistent routine. Because of his gentle, affectionate nature (and those enthusiastic hugs), Ricky would do best in a home with older kids. He’s also hoping for a stay-at-home or work-from-home family who can give him the time, stability, and companionship he craves. If you’re looking for a soft, soulful companion who will love you with his whole heart (and maybe wrap you in a hug or two), Ricky is ready to be your shadow and your snuggle buddy for life. As part of Ricky’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Ricky, you can complete an application online for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2703495##

Story
(DOB 09/01/2025) Rossi is a handsome, just-the-right-sized guy with a heart as big as his zoomies! He has that sleek, shiny black coat that sparkles in the sun. Rossi has learned that every stranger isn't very scary, just give him a few minutes and add another dog to the picture and he’s suddenly ready to make friends! He LOVES dogs and has never met one he didn’t like. Another 4-legged, fun friend in his forever home is exctly what this cutie is looking for!  His ideal home has a place to burn off his zoomies and a fenced yard would be fantastic, but a friend’s yard, daycare, or even a big carpeted house will do! He isn't picky about his playtime. Rossi is a great car rider and a total good boy at home. He can be trusted to hang out while you work and is perfectly happy to nap. He’s still working on his manners and getting his potty schedule figured out, but he’s coming along! With tons of energy, he’d thrive with another high-energy dog buddy and/or an athletic family who enjoys long walks, hikes, runs, or epic games of fetch. Doggy daycare? Yes please — that sounds like his kind of party. If you’re ready for an active sidekick with a heart of gold and springs for legs, this puppy might just be your perfect match. Rossi could easily be your future cardio partner, cuddle bug, and resident goofball — all rolled into one VERY good boy.  As part of Rossi’s $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.

Story
(DOB 05/27/2025) Emmy's a playful, sweet soul with the biggest heart and an even bigger zest for life! This adorable pup who's a perfect mix of cuddly companion and goofy sidekick may be just what you are looking for. She’s a gentle, submissive girl who truly wants to please, making her a wonderful listener and a quick learner. Whether she’s romping around with her doggie friends, chasing a toy, or hopping into the car for an adventure, Emmy brings joy wherever she goes. Emmy loves being part of the action! She enjoys games of fetch, playing with toys, and especially spending time with other dogs; she would absolutely thrive in a home with a playful canine companion so make sure you have a friend for her. A fenced yard where she can safely zoom, explore, and “goof off” is high on her wish list. After a day of fun, she settles beautifully and is just as happy to curl up and relax with her people. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and walks nicely on a leash; she’s already got a great foundation! Like many young pups, Emmy is still learning about the world around her. Because she didn’t have the easiest start in life, she can be a little unsure when meeting new people, especially men. She may use her voice when she feels nervous, but the great news is she’s already making wonderful progress and responds very well to gentle guidance and redirection. With a patient, understanding family who will continue to build her confidence, Emmy is blossoming more every day. Her ideal home will be one that can offer consistency, love, and a steady routine—having someone home most of the time will help her continue to thrive. She currently lives with cats and does well, though she may occasionally try to initiate a playful chase, so dog-savvy cats would be the best match. Emmy is truly a special girl who just needs a little time and encouragement to shine her brightest. In return, she’ll give you endless love, loyalty, and lots of happy, playful moments. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving pup to grow with your family, Emmy might just be your perfect match! As part of Emmy’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.

Story
Koffee was born March 3rd. She was one of 8. My friend could not take care of all the pets so we offered to help. We received her in May, after her puppy shots were administered. Unfortunately, because she is our first and only dog, we were unaware of how much time she required. We are away from the house for about ten hours. This means she is by herself the majority of the day and we have not been able to house train her. She gets along well with our two cats and all three of my children. She is very friendly and loving. She does get excited when she’s running around outside or when we get home.

Story
Move over, Cleopatra - there’s a new queen in town, and this one has four paws. Cleo is a 31-pound terrier mix with a stunning light tan coat and gorgeous tan eyes that are sure to capture your heart. She is pretty underweight still and will need to pack on a number more to truly fill out. Cleo is a natural charmer who absolutely adores people. When she meets new human friends, she turns on the charm and is happy to soak up all the attention. She’s also a curious little explorer, taking in everything around her with wide-open eyes so she doesn’t miss a single thing. When it comes to her canine court, Cleo plays nicely with the dogs in her group and enjoys exploring the world around her. Back in her royal quarters, she’s quiet in her crate and keeps her space neat and tidy - just as any proper princess should. Now this sweet girl is searching for a forever kingdom of her own, complete with people who will adore her, adventures to share, and plenty of love. Cleo is ready to trade her shelter throne for a forever home where she can reign supreme as the queen she was always meant to be. *Sleepover notes: " Cleo was sweet, funny, and full of surprises during our weekend with her! To start – she is a 10/10 cuddle bug. She follows you around like you’re royalty and is happiest curled up beside you on the couch. She happily cuddled with me, my husband, our son, and visiting friends. All she wants is love and safety, no matter who it comes from. she was hilariously playful and quirky. She loved tossing acorns around the yard, chasing them as they rolled, and playing with fallen leaves. She was also wonderfully sweet and patient with our 3.5-year-old son.
