Story
We received max from a friend. He was born to a litter of 9. Max is currently 7 months old. We are looking for someone who has the time for max. Upon bring him home, I did not realize that we would need to dedicate so much time for him. Our schedules just don’t quite allow for it. We have tried everything in our power to keep him, but it is just starting to become too much. Max is a very sweet puppy. He loves to play fetch and tag. He is very friendly/nosey when on his walks. He loves snack time( sweet potato, carrots and peanut butter are his favorite). I currently have food, his crate and his favorite blanket that you can have too.

Story
Sweet Winnie had a rough start to life, spending her first months of life living exclusively in a crate. She has come very far since being rescued, and is learning how great life can be with people who love her. She loves people but needs a patient family who will go slow with her at first and make her feel safe. Once she knows you, she is your best friend! She has improved a lot in such a short time and has gained confidence in her foster home. She is a very vocal girl and loves to chat a lot. She absolutely loves being active, so she hopes her new family has a fenced yard where she can run around, maybe they will even take her for hikes and walks during the day too! While she does well with big dogs, she would probably do best in a home with a submission, laid-back doggie friend or would love to be your one and only! Winnie LOVES all kids, she just wants to play, play, play and give lots of kisses. She is a very treat motivated puppy and would thrive with some training as well as someone to work with her on socialization in different settings. Winnie would do best in a home with no small pets, but she does well with some cats. Winnie loves to go for walks and jump on the trampoline with the kids in her foster home. She would love a fenced in yard to play in and get her zoomies out. She gets those from time to time (she is still a pup) but other times you will find her cuddled up on the couch! She is mostly potty trained, but will need someone to help her follow a schedule and give her positive reinforcement. She has been spayed and is fully vaccinated. Winnie is a sweetheart and deserves a great life! She can't wait for her chance to thrive in a forever home!

Story
Meet Sparky, the ultimate fur friend who's got it all! He's a playful, happy-go-lucky pup who loves snuggling and being a lap dog. He's gentle and sweet, not to mention super social with humans, other dogs, and even cats. He craves attention and absolutely adores getting belly rubs. His toy collection is impressive too, especially his stuffed toys and squeakers, which he gladly shares.   Sparky is quite the gentleman too.  While he's not a fan of crates, he's such a good boy on a leash. With his leash manners, he doesn't necessarily need a fenced yard, but he absolutely loves having one. It's his own personal kingdom!  His size and adventurous spirit says any fence of his needs to have solid panels or narrow spacing. And if you're living in an apartment, that's totally cool too, as long as he gets his exercise, playtime, and daily walks.   When it comes to Sparky's daily routine, he starts his day with a trip outside, a hearty half-cup of dry food for breakfast, and plenty of playtime. Throughout the day, he'll take naps and enjoy another outdoor outing after his person returns from work. For dinner, he has another half-cup of food, sometimes mixed with a little wet food for a special treat. And in the evenings, you've got the perfect couch potato.  He'll happily join you on the couch for a cozy night in. In fact, he loves spending time with his person so much, his favorite activity is simply being by your side.   Sparky would thrive in a loving, multigenerational family, a stay-at-home or work-from-home family, or even with a couple who have opposite work schedules. His gratitude for your love will brighten your day, and his happy cries during playtime will crack you up. He's a sweetheart who never tires of kisses from his person.   So why wait? Bring Sparky into your life and let the fun and love begin! As part of Sparky’s $300 adoption fee, he will be 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 little boy, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Sparky, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2001090##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Buster is a lovely wired hair Jack Russell mix looking for his forever home. He is around 6 y old and a very sweet and cuddly guy. He is crate trained, house trained and loves to go on car rides!  He has an amazing personality, and loves to show other dogs he means business! He is friendly and playful, but can also like to keep other dogs that he considers are misbehaving "in check" with some nipping. He means well, and wants things running smoothly. He is also very communicative and could growl if something bothers him. An ideal home would be one with older kids that can be respectful of boundaries if he needs some time alone. Also, someone with experience with the breed would be preferred (not required) Would you be his pawfect match?  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2024, 7:33 pm

Story
Luna was found by our family. Luna is a sweet playful yet anxious dog, she is a very shy dog when meeting new people, she often will try to jump the fence and will have me running after her for hours, for allergy purposes and influencing my other dog to follow she escape behaviors. I don’t have the time nor the energy to run around town with her. Other than that she is a very nice dog.
