Story
(DOB 11/13/2023) Petite Sissy is an absolutely adorable little girl with a heart full of sweetness. She’s the perfect blend of playful energy and cozy cuddles; happy to be active and then just as content curling up for some quality snuggle time. Sissy is happy to jump on the sofa or chair to be with her people or other pups; no invitation necessary. With her gentle personality and bright eyes, Sissy is the kind of dog who quickly steals hearts. Her ideal home includes someone who is around much of the day and truly excited to invest in training, routine, and continued confidence building. A younger, playful dog is a must for Sissy; she loves having a canine sibling to play with, learn from, and follow household cues. Because of her small size, she’ll also need a secure 4–5 ft fenced yard with solid panels or very narrow spacing, along with careful monitoring of doors and gates, as she can be a bit of a flight risk. Sissy is very smart and eager to learn, especially when given patience, consistency, and encouragement. Right now, her confidence-building journey is underway, and she’s making progress with leash training and crate training. New people can make her a bit nervous at first, so she may bark briefly to let you know she’s unsure, but with a little time and reassurance, she warms up nicely. She may also alert bark when she hears someone approaching the home/yard, something to keep in mind for townhome living. These are all opportunities for positive training that will help Sissy blossom into a more confident companion. Sissy hasn’t yet had the chance to meet kids or cats, so those would be new experiences for her. With the right match, patience, and love, this sweet, cuddly, and charming girl is going to thrive. Ready, really ready, to welcome a special little soul into your life? Let’s make the perfect match for Sissy! FYI, Sissy will require UTI prescription food which our rescue will provide her fur-ever family the brand she is currently on so it can be maintained by her family going forward. As part of Sissy’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 little girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Sissy, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2601249##

Story
Name / Breed / Age: Rory, Chihuahua mix, Puppy  Personality Traits: Curious, The Brave Pup, Playful Likes / Dislikes:  Loves to play, considers all things toys. Dislikes being ignored Health and behavior history:  Up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and will be neutered/spayed between 4 to 7 months. Clean bill of health from the PIPs Vet!   Meet Rory, the little adventurer with the happiest wag in town!   Rory is a bright, brave, and playful sweetheart who brings sunshine wherever she goes. She LOVES being outside and will happily chase every crunchy leaf that dares to blow by. Her tail is always going, especially when she’s exploring, playing, or showing off her goofy puppy antics.   This clever girl has a fun mix of curiosity and confidence. Her favorite “toy” isn’t actually a toy at all… it’s the kiddie slide in her puppy pen. Rory races up the slide, launches herself off the top, and proudly trots away like the tiny daredevil she is. She’s smart, bold, and so much fun to watch.   Rory is also a total sweetheart. She rides beautifully in the car, loves hanging out and playing with her siblings, and recently discovered the magic of peanut butter. Even though it was a little sticky, she decided it was worth every lick!   If you’re looking for a joyful, outgoing, and lovable puppy to grow with your family, Rory is your girl. She’s ready to learn, ready to love, and ready to bring laughter into your home every single day.   Rory can’t wait to meet her forever family! ##2558989##

Story
Name / Breed / Age: Ludwig, Chihuahua, Senior Personality Traits: The Velcro Pup, Curious, Loveable Likes / Dislikes:  Likes: butt scratches, French fries. Dislikes: jam bands (hard to keep up with the beat) pen- he needs freedom to explore! Health and behavior history:  Up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. Clean bill of health from the PIPs Vet!   If you’ve ever dreamed of living with a tiny, determined old man who navigates life entirely by commitment and vibes — Ludwig is your guy.   Before Ludwig was surrendered to a local shelter with his siblings, he spent far too long living in a cramped little crate. Now that he finally has space in a foster home, he’s exploring like he’s training for a very small, very adorable expedition. Walls? Interesting. Furniture legs? Intriguing. Your shins? His preferred landmark.   Despite not seeing or hearing a thing, Ludwig is wildly curious and surprisingly confident. He conquered the stairs almost instantly and now struts around like a miniature landlord checking his property. It is likely Ludwig has always been blind, but we are unsure if he has always been deaf.    Ludwig is obsessed with being scratched and he LOVES playing with his humans. Toys? No interest. Other dogs? Sure. But humans? You’re the main event. He snores with the confidence of a full-grown bear, despite being roughly the size of a sandwich.   Potty training is going well as long as he sticks to his schedule, and he’s working on basic training with a level of enthusiasm that makes up for the whole “can’t hear commands” situation. He’s smart, he’s spirited, and he’s powered entirely by determination, an amazing sniffer, and touch.   If you want a senior pup with the enthusiasm of a puppy, the determination of a tiny explorer, and the comedic timing of a seasoned entertainer, Ludwig is your guy. Be prepared to laugh a lot — this little man is pure joy on four legs. ##2588517##

Story
Meet Nori: Tiny, Spicy, and Loyal to Her Chosen One Looking for a tiny shadow who will idolize you (and only you)? Allow us to present Nori, a Chihuahua with a heart full of love, a dash of drama, and just a sprinkle of diva. Nori currently lives with her foster mom, foster dad, and two teenagers. She worships foster mom like she’s Beyoncé, tolerates the teenagers like a polite celebrity on a press tour, and… well… foster dad is still waiting for his meet-and-greet pass to be approved, he mostly get bounced. But don’t worry—she loves other dogs (big, small, fluffy, bald, questionable fashion sense—no judgment). She absolutely beams at mealtime, thrives in the fresh outdoor air, treasures her tiny toys, and treats comfy pillows like five-star resorts. Now, let’s talk first impressions. Nori will not greet you like you’re long-lost soulmates. She won’t leap joyously into your arms. She will likely give you the side-eye, assess your life choices, and maybe file a silent Yelp review. New humans are… well, complicated. But give her time. As soon as her walls melt and her spicy façade softens, her true self emerges—sweet, quirky, goofy, and hilariously loyal. She transforms from cautious guest to clingy lovebug, personal comedian, and official life companion. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without her. Her ideal home? Calm, peaceful, no young kids. Another friendly dog would be a major plus. Someone patient, kind, and ready to be adored at a legendary level. Because when Nori gives her heart, she gives it completely. She is the icon of unconditional love—the kind that’s earned, cherished, and beautifully deep. Apply to adopt Nori, and prepare to become someone’s entire universe. ##2516279##

Story
Willie is an 8 year old tripod chihuahua with lots of love to give! He doesn’t let having three legs stop him, he gets around just fine. Once he finds his “person,” he is a loyal and affectionate lap dog. He doesn’t care for strangers, especially men. Willie typically gets along with other dogs, but would do best in a home without children or cats. He is puppy-pad trained, but could use a little more work with this.
