Story
Sloth is a playful, gentle, caring little guy who loves people, walks, and eating meals. Sloth is kennel trained as long as he gets walked regularly. He is kind of an odd looking dog, but don't let his looks fool you, he is very intelligent and eager to learn. He is very cuddly and loves to be affectionate. Sloth was adopted from the animal shelter since October 2023 and is healthy, vaccinated, and microchipped. Our other dog is not getting along with him. He is a good boy who just needs a good home. If we can't find a home for Sloth soon, we will have to take him back to the shelter.

Story
We have been financially abandoned and Captain deserves to be placed in a loving home. He's been an outside dog his whole life, but he needs someone that would like to give him a job. I think he is 100% capable of being trained and really just wants to be loved on. He's a strong boy with a good amount of energy, so he needs to be with someone who is experienced with dogs.

Loving girl who loves to run and play. Has been professionally trained. No aggression but would be better in a home without small dogs, as she doesn’t realize her size. She is crate trained, house broken and lives to play with other dogs and her toys. She has done well in doggie daycare.

Story
Meet Maverick and Kairi! They are siblings (male and female) from the same litter and have been together since birth. We will only rehome them together. We’ve had them since they were ~10 weeks old and loved them so very much. It absolutely breaks our hearts to have to rehome them, but they truly do not receive the attention they deserve. After almost a year with a new baby, we have come to the difficult decision that giving them to a loving family that will be available to give all the good ear and belly rubs, play fetch in the back yard and go for long walks, is truly what is best for them. Please message us for a ton more picture or any questions. They are up to date on all shots, take simparica trio every month, and we recently started an aller-immune supplement as well.

Jasper

Husky

Male, Young
Bahama, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
This is Jasper. He is a very active, very loving husky. He’s cared for by our entire family and does well with our three-year-old. On Walks we encounter, multiple dogs with no issues. Jasper has been around multiple kids, but not many dogs.. He loves to run, play ball, and fetch. Once you expend Jasper‘s energy, he is calm. Like many huskies he is very busy and can be dominant. My ambition for Jasper here is to find loving family with a fenced yard, big enough for him to be able to run and play as often as he’d like with children, and possibly another dog. He loves to be cuddled and have his belly rubbed.

Story
(DOB 02/26/2017) Mack is good with other dogs, cats and kids! The trifecta! He seems to gravitate towards kids and wants to be with them; just make sure the kiddos are older (~10+) becuase of his size. He wouldn't want to accidently knock down a smaller child with his love and affection. Half of Mack's Adoption Fee has been SPONSORED by a generous donor; just $150 to adopt this Handsome Hunk!! This is super sweet; gorgeous, stunning, well behaved, ~70+ pounds of love is really kinda "afraid" of his foster family's cats when he first arrived (which was really kind of funny!). He is becoming more interested in them and will chase in play but easily redirected. Mack could be an only dog, but he'd probably be happier with some fun, playful siblings. He does well with other dogs and is submissive even with his larger size. He is going to be an awesome addition to a full house!  Mack would love to be in a home with an active family where he could be outside a lot. He would really, really like a 5ft+ fenced yard to run, zommie, and romp around in!  He likes playing with toys, some good ole tug-o-war (he typically gives up first) and playing with other dogs. He likes grabbing a stuffie and pulling and tugging on it with his foster furry family members.  Mack likes to use his voice and "chat" with his furry foster siblings...he has cute vocals. He wouldn't be a perfect fit for apartment or condo for these reasons. Mack is house trained but not really crate trained.  He has selected a favorite chair and a dog bed that he finds much more to his liking. He is well behaved and happy in his home environment.  He would be happy curled up in front of a roaring fire or on the sofa after a good play time. Mack would love someone who works from home/home most of the time, so he could have loads of attention. Mack loves the car and would be happy with a family that is on the go! He does have some seperation anxiety and just loves being with his people. He is definitely looking for someone who a true daily companion; he really isn't interested in hanging out alone all day. Work from home or can take your pup to work with you; then Mack is the paw-fect selection! Plus, when you are out and about, he is good on a leash and well behaved. He is a GEM! As part of Mack's $300 adoption fee, he is 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 boy, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Mack, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##1558926##
