Story

Meet Isabella — a 10-year-old, 7 lb Chihuahua mix with a gentle spirit and an adorable personality. Quick Facts: Name: Isabella Breed: Chihuahua Mix Age: 10 years old Weight: 7 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: No (doesn’t need a crate) Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Not tested, likely would be fine Good with Kids: Only older, calmer children Energy Level: Low Fence Required: No (unless not using a leash to go outside) Special Needs: Can be timid at first until she feels safe About Isabella’s Breed: Our best guess is that Isabella is a Chihuahua mix. Chihuahuas are tiny dogs with big personalities, known for their confidence, loyalty, and affectionate nature. Despite their small size, they are bold and spirited, often acting as if they are much larger than they really are. An ideal home for a Chihuahua is one that provides gentle handling, consistent training, and lots of companionship. They thrive in apartments or houses alike, as long as they are kept safe and warm. Because they bond closely with their humans, they do best in homes where they aren’t left alone for long periods. Early socialization helps them feel comfortable with children and other pets, but their small size means they are safest in households where interactions are calm and respectful. All About Isabella: Isabella is a healthy, fully potty-trained girl who doesn’t need a crate thanks to her impeccable manners. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys both potty breaks on walks and sniffing around the yard. Isabella is wonderful with people and loves to snuggle, though she would do best with older, calmer kids due to her age and size. She gets along well with other dogs in her foster home and, with her calm demeanor, would likely do fine with cats too. Isabella’s Highlights: • House trained, no crate needed • Dog-friendly, lives peacefully with several foster siblings • Loves people, prefers gentle, calm interactions • Lower energy, happiest snuggling and being loved • Timid at first, but blossoms with patience and trust • Adorable quirks, runs to her dog bed to be picked up, rolls over for belly rubs, and trots to bed at night for snuggles • Finding her voice, now makes cute “chi” barks and noises at dinnertime • Ideal home: quiet, patient household—best with a middle-aged or older individual or couple Isabella is a sweet, loyal companion who’s still coming out of her shell. She may be reserved at first, but once she feels safe, she reveals her loving, snuggly side—and even a touch of diva charm. She’s ready to spend her golden years in a calm, caring home where she can be cherished for the gentle soul she is.

Story

Meet Hammy — a 1-year-old, 11 lb Chiweenie with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure! Quick Facts: Name: Hammy Breed: Chihuahua/Dachshund Mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 11 lbs. House-Trained: Yes, but may mark in a new place Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Hasn’t been tested, but likely good with them Energy Level: Low to medium Fence Required: No About Hammy’s Breed: Our best guess is that Hammy is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. The Chiweenie is a small, lively crossbreed between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund, known for its affectionate and playful personality. These pups typically weigh between 5–15 pounds and live 12–16 years, making them compact companions with a long lifespan. Chiweenies thrive on human companionship, often bonding closely with their favorite person, and are sometimes described as “Velcro dogs” because of their loyalty. They can be energetic and spunky, yet also love to cuddle, making them a great fit for families, singles, or seniors who want a devoted lap dog with a dash of sass. Hammy is a sweet, loyal little guy who’s 99% potty trained (he may mark at first in a new place) and can be crated, though he’d much rather snuggle up with blankets and toys when left alone. He’s happiest when he’s with his people and doesn’t love being left for long, making him the perfect companion for someone who wants a devoted “Velcro” pup! Hammy’s Highlights: Potty trained, may mark initially in new environments Crate trained, but prefers cozy blankets and toys when alone Dog- and cat-friendly, takes good direction when meeting new friends Great with people, likely to do well with gentle, respectful kids Chill personality, with bursts of cuteness, quirkiness, and humor Leash ready, loves walks and exploring with his nose Bed snuggler, happiest under the covers at night Food-motivated, warms up quickly when treats are involved Super loyal, thrives on companionship and cuddles Hammy is a sweet soul who will bring endless joy, laughter, and love to his forever family. Whether he’s curled up under the covers, trotting beside you on a walk, or making you laugh with his funny antics, Hammy is ready to be your loyal little shadow and best friend!

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. PLEASE NOTE: If you are on PetFinder or other search site, you do NOT need to introduce yourself. 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. Bear – Sweet, Sleepy, and Searching for a Forever Home to Heal His Heart Bear is the kind of dog who makes you slow down, smile, and appreciate the quiet moments. This senior gentleman is soft, gentle, and incredibly affectionate — a dog who has weathered loss but still leans into love with his whole heart. He spends much of his time curled up in his small playpen, dozing on soft blankets, happy to watch the world from the safety of his cozy space. He uses wee-wee pads in his pen and will bark when he needs to go outside. Bear’s world was turned upside down when his devoted owner passed away. It’s obvious he was treasured — he loves being touched, being spoken to softly, and soaking up every bit of attention he can get. What he wants now is a calm, patient human who will help him feel safe again. He’s learning how to walk on a leash with a harness, but it’s still new and a little scary, so a fenced yard would help him feel calmer and more secure. Bear gets along with small female dogs but can be standoffish with males. He hasn’t been around kids or cats, but his gentle nature suggests he’d prefer a peaceful home with routines and reassurance. Bear is mostly quiet, giving a small bark only when he needs something important. He’s low-energy, happy to nap, stroll around a yard, and curl up at your feet. He could be an only dog if someone is home much of the day — a retiree or a work-from-home adopter would be perfect. &#226&#156&#168 Bear needs someone willing to give an overlooked senior a real chance. He is sweet. He is snuggly. He is heartbreakingly grateful for even the smallest kindness. If you give Bear a home, he will fill your days with warmth, loyalty, and quiet companionship. He just needs someone who will say, “Your story isn’t over yet.” EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Bears owner passed away and BFPA is helping him find his forever home. 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.

This petite sweetheart has taken well to crate life — she happily trots to her pen when told “go to bed,” especially if there’s a tiny treat involved. While she’s still working on house training, she responds warmly to praise and is improving with consistency. She’s gradually getting the hang of leash walking. She loves free play in the yard or a calming stroller ride. With patience and practice, Mary Jane is showing she can become a reliable little walker. New people can feel a bit intimidating to her at first, but if she’s being held, she blossoms quickly. On a beach outing, she was snuggling with her foster’s family by day one — a perfect example of her affectionate nature once she feels safe. She’s also timid around other dogs but shows potential for positive introductions. Mary Jane is mostly quiet, with the occasional alert bark when startled. She would do well in an apartment setting and can absolutely be an only dog. Her energy level is moderate — she loves exploring with her buddy Rowdy, but she’s just as thrilled to curl up in your lap for hours. A fenced yard isn’t required; she’ll do fine with leash walks for potty breaks and exercise. Why adopt Mary Jane? Because she’s an adorable, devoted little companion who brings joy with her snuggles, gentle playfulness, and her happy morning greetings. She’s fun, she’s loving, and she’s ready to be someone’s cherished best friend. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Mary Jane's owner passed away. She was admitted into BFPA to find her forever home.
