Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS *** **Adoption fee waived for prior adopters, fosters and hosts** Say hello to this senior sweetheart, Grapevine! She is a friendly, calm girl who prefers a bit of independence. After settling in, her curiosity will have her following you and wanting to be sitting and cuddling with you on her own terms and in her own time. Grapevine has found that she actually likes to snuggle and cuddle up most of time, but she prefers it to be her choice. Although shy at first, this little gal is curious – paying attention and carefully watching you and checking out her new situation. Once she’s convinced that all is well and she feels as though she’s in control, Grapevine will be ready to be your best friend! Her foster reported seeing her change after 3 days, blossoming a little more each day. Grapevine must not have had the kindest lot in life prior to coming to Saving Grace, as she seems to be experiencing so many new things for the first time in her foster home. She's learning about potty training, and is doing well when taken out regularly. This gal enjoys going outside for short periods of time, but seems to know to use potty pads if she can’t wait. Grapevine will follow her furry friends outside, not wanting to be left out, unless the weather is wet and frigid. As she unwinds and get more comfortable in her foster home, she has been spotted playing with soft toys and furry friends her size. An equal opportunity friend, Grapevine does great with both dogs and cats! Grapevine's a smart lady who will come to you when she wants to be picked up or to soak in some couch snuggles, and she is learning to love being loved on in her own time. She is definitely curious about her human and will follow you around the house to see what you’re up to. Crate time is no problem, as Grapevine sleeps very well in her crate and will occasionally go in just to chill and have her own quiet time. Telling her its bedtime and encouraging her to go to her crate has been successful. Grapevine is a lovely and loving girl who would love to find her forever home that comes with extra patience, and possibly a lower energy sibling. We heard through the grapevine that she just might be scooped up soon, so make an appointment to meet her today!

Story
***AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS*** Hi, I am Tripp, a stately gentleman who enjoys leash walking even when it is cold outside. I accept sweaters gracefully and will leash walk with great skill. Despite being a senior guy, I have a blast outside. Inside, you can find me on a cuddly blanket, on my person's lap, or on the sofa. After all, life is too short to lay on hard things! I will gladly accept treats and most enjoy canned seafood diet with seafood kibble, although I probably could have any diet and be just as happy. With ears that are like echolocators, I can hear you coming from a long way off and eagerly pop out of my nest to greet you. The best time of the day is quiet time with my humans while we enjoy cuddling and pets. I would prefer a home with older children and adults, as small children can be a bit much for me. As a bonus, I am already crate trained and will use potty pads if I have to, but would rather race you to the door to do my business outside like a true gentleman. I can't wait to meet you and show you how great life can be with a sweet old fellow like me!

Story
(DOB 10/31/2025) Meet Tulip. Due to her young age, she has not been spayed yet. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within a 1-hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).  Tulip is a sweet, spunky puppy who’s ready to blossom alongside her forever family! She's full of that classic puppy energy and curiosity. She loves to play, explore, and be right where her people are. She’s a social little lady and can be vocal when she wants attention or company, especially if she thinks she’s missing out on the fun   Tulip thrives on companionship and needs another dog (similar size and energy level) in the home to help her burn energy, learn dog manners, and feel her best. Like many puppies, Tulip is still learning the rules. She’s potty training and making progress, but patience and consistency are key. She has sharp puppy teeth and will happily try to play with hands if not redirected, so she’ll need an adopter who’s committed to using toys for redirection (and having lots of them!). If toys aren’t handy, she may decide your remote or shoes are fair game. She’s also curious to a fault—anything left on the floor may end up in her mouth, Because of those sharp puppy teeth and enthusiastic play style, no small children would be best. She does like to chase cats (heck, at her young age anything and anyone is like fun and games to Tulip), so a cat-free home or very savvy cat would be ideal. If you’re looking for a loving and playful puppy who will keep you laughing and on your toes—in the best way—Tulip might just be your perfect match. As part of Tulip’s $325 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Tulip, you can complete an application online for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2642589##

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
Hi. I’m Soba. Yes, like the noodles. And yes, I am just as delightful. Let me tell you a little about myself, because I am currently accepting applications for “Forever Human.” First things first: I am a professional sidekick. Need someone to follow you from room to room? I’m your guy. Folding laundry? I’ll supervise. Watching TV? I’ll be right there on the couch, preferably touching you. I specialize in cozy companionship. Outside, I transform into an athlete. I love running in the backyard and chasing tennis balls like I’m training for the Puppy Olympics. Big dog energy in a little, lovable package. I get along great with kids and enjoy being part of the action. But don’t worry, I’m not all zoomies all the time. I have excellent work life balance. When I need a little recharge, I tuck myself into my bed or crate for some quiet time. I’m a big fan of chew toys and enrichment games. A guy’s gotta keep his mind sharp. I would be happy as your one and only, soaking up all the love. I would also enjoy a playmate if you’ve got one. I’m flexible like that. A little health note about me: I have a heart murmur that has improved as I’ve grown. I take medication twice a day and I’m very responsible about it. No drama here. I take it happily like the good boy I am. I’m also crate trained and use a litter box in my crate like a tidy gentleman. I’ve recently started transitioning to going potty outside, and I’m catching on quickly. I’m smart and eager to please. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving, well balanced little guy who will adore you, make you laugh, and happily curl up next to you at the end of the day, I think we might be perfect together. Love,Soba ##2516314##
