Story
DOB 12-7-2024 Wolfie is a gorgeous Red and White Long Hair! This beautiful boy loves everyone, likes to play with toys and his friends. He is neutered, heartworm negative and has received a Proheart6 preventative injection, up to date on shots and is now looking for a loving home. His adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 135.00. HEARTS is our transport, they run every 2 weeks. It's the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
Meet Lili, a cutie who will fill your home with kisses, cuddles, and endless entertainment.   Lili is a 3-4 year old dachshund mix with a gorgeous short red coat. Lili weighs 25.6 lbs and is working on reaching a healthier weight.  She is the confident leader of the pack—a huge love bug who's always ready with kisses and attention. She's curious, easy-going, and loves to sniff everything on walks.    Environment   This high-energy girl needs a long daily walk and play sessions to stay happy and healthy. She's fully potty trained and doesn't require a fenced yard, though outdoor time for exercise is important.  Lili is very sweet and gentle with people. She loves attention and is usually the first one to approach for pets and kisses. She had family visitors over and was friendly and happy the whole time.     Pets & People   With strangers, Lili sometimes does a "preventive bark" during walks—one or two barks as if to say "I'm here, stay back." Once she sees that her people know and trust the person, she becomes friendly and comes closer for greetings.   During walks, Lili has strong reactions toward other animals—she pulls the leash and is eager to get closer, requiring redirection. She's done the "preventive bark" at stranger dogs from a distance. She has prey drive and will need experienced owners who can work on her leash reactivity, with prior knowledge or with a professional trainer.   Health Lili will benefit from continued training, particularly around leash manners and reactivity. An experienced adopter who can provide structure, patience, and positive reinforcement will help her thrive.   Location Lili is available for adoption from Coral Springs, FL. Please email virginiabyron20@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. Her adoption fee is $300.

Story
Alfred Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty training: fully trained Fenced yard: preferred but not required Shared walls: suitable People: all Dogs: all Other: grain allergy and GI issues    Overview Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Alfred certainly hasn't gotten the memo. This fluffy white 11-year-old mix is every bit as playful and snuggly as a puppy—just with a lifetime of good manners already built in. At 17.2 lbs of soft, white fluff, Alfred is an owner surrender who came to Little Paws through no fault of his own. What he lacks in backstory drama he makes up for in sheer charm: he loves cuddles, he loves play, and he is endlessly patient and gentle with everyone around him.   Environment Alfred is a wonderfully easygoing housemate. He's fully potty trained, so no accidents to worry about. He uses a pen rather than a traditional crate, and he is genuinely content to entertain himself—he's very happy left to his own devices for longer stretches, making him a great fit for working households. He enjoys short walks and playtime to keep that puppy spirit alive, but he's not demanding about it. A yard would be a nice bonus, but it's not a must. He travels happily in the car and loves watching the world go by from his window seat—a tall car seat works great for him!   Pets & People Alfred is a social butterfly who has been perfectly content living alongside three other dogs in his foster home. He's gentle and easy with everyone he meets—people included. He loves to lick his doggy housemates' ears. Whether they asked for a grooming session or not. He is patient and well-mannered around food, waiting calmly when asked. He's the kind of dog who makes you look like a great trainer without even trying.   Health & Special Needs Alfred has a grain allergy and some GI sensitivities that his foster is actively managing. This simply means he'll need a grain-free diet going forward—something his new family will want to continue. His foster can share more details about what's been working well for him.   Location Alfred is available for adoption from Raleigh, NC. Please email kellinashawaty@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Alfred is $250.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 24, 2026, 3:23 pm

Story
&#226&#151&#143 Energy level: low-moderate &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: needs assistance &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: no &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: no &#226&#151&#143 People: no young children &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: friendly with small dogs &#226&#151&#143 Other: special needs with mobility and bladder expression   Overview Meet Printz, a sweet 7-year-old red smooth coat dachshund who's looking for a special family to cherish him. At 17.2 pounds, this loving boy proves that good things come in medium packages! Despite facing some mobility challenges, Printz maintains a wonderfully positive attitude and has a heart full of love to share.   Environment Printz is seeking a patient and nurturing home where someone can be present most of the time, as he gets a bit anxious when left alone. While he's currently on crate rest due to a back injury and needs help with mobility, he still enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He does well walking with assistance using a sling and is perfectly content in homes without a yard. He's well-behaved in his crate when his family needs to step out, but he can be vocal so shared walls are probably not a good idea. His reasonable energy needs and gentle nature make him an excellent companion.   Pets & People Printz is a very loving dog who thrives on human connection and wants nothing more than to be near his person. While initially shy, he quickly warms up to show his affectionate personality. He's a social butterfly with other small dogs and does very well in multi-dog households but is untested with children or cats. Therefore, only applicants with older, considerate kids will be considered. He can be vocal around larger dogs, but this is likely due to his size and mobility situation. He is food aggressive and eats his meals and treats in his crate. He's happy to go in the crate and comes out when the other dogs in the home have finished their food. He will growl and nip if disturbed when he has food or a valued toy.    Health Printz has some special medical needs that require a dedicated family. He currently needs assistance with bladder and bowel expression due to his back injury. He can take trazodone as needed to help manage any discomfort or anxiety. His mobility requires some extra support, and he uses a sling to help him walk comfortably. These needs are manageable with the right care routine, and his sweet personality makes it all worthwhile.   Location Printz is available for adoption from Gastonia, NC. Due to his special needs, he would prefer a home within a reasonable driving distance, as he can find long car rides challenging. Please email autenlinda@yahoo.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee is $150.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 4:53 pm
