Story

Hi! My name is Dottie and I'm a 40lb ball of joy! Just look at my smiling face... I'm a social pup and I love all people, including kids! I get along really well with other dogs, too! I'm still a little scared of cats. My foster family has a bunny in a crate and I sometimes like to sniff her, but mostly I just ignore her. I love going on walks and I do great on a leash! If I do have some energy left, tug-of-war is my favorite. I'm not protective over food, toys, or even attention (although I like all three). I love sleeping in my crate all night and sometimes I like to hang out in it to take a little rest. I ALWAYS go potty outside! I have seen a vet, have all my vaccines and my microchip. I have also been spayed. I am heartworm positive, but treatment will be curative and is covered by Peak Lab Rescue at our vet in Apex. I'm a recent mother of ten(!) and I've been on maternity leave these last few months. Mama dogs are always the most grateful to be adopted and reward you with a lifetime of loyalty. I am beautiful inside and out. Please adopt me and give me all the love I deserve!

Story

Hey there, I'm Kari! Roughly 2-3 years old, but who's counting? I'm a big pawed girl checking in at just over 60 lbs. I'm spayed, chipped and up to date on my vaccinations. I'm thrilled to join Peak Lab Rescue as foster care has been the highlight of my life. I check all the boxes for being a great family addition. I wait patiently by the door when nature calls, and enjoy a peaceful slumber in a comfy bed ALL NIGHT LONG. Crate training? Nailed it. I'm friendly with other dogs. From my long stay in foster care, I've easily adapted to different households and have lived with different dogs, a cat, 3 ducks and a 5 year old human. I'm kind to everyone and every thing, and perfectly content to just chill. Foster Mom says I have a "Fan Club! I'm eager to please, quickly learning commands like "sit," and shake. I love a little attention, but no drama here - I'm a quiet, unflappable companion. While kids are cool, they'll need to understand my quirks, like my eagerness for treats (especially apple slices!). I'd LOVE a kid with a good throwing arm as "fetch is my THING! I'm particularly fond of getting out and Foster Mom is sure to take me on walks and hikes. I tested HW positive and my procedure requires 30 days of limited activity. This gives us PLENTY of time to get to know each other better. I'll be ready for summer and we can resume longer walks. Foster pawrents say dogs like me always find their people, so I'm patiently waiting for you to come scoop me up. Follow my journey on IG at the246.fosterdogs, and when Peak sends you foster mom's number, give her a call. She's eager to chat about how I'll make the perfect addition to your family.

Story

Hi there, I'm Abby! I'm an approximately 1 year old bubbly pup who is full of love and always up for playtime. I am not spayed yet but should be soon. I've mastered the art of being a good housemate - yep, I'm house trained! I'm quite enthusiastic about mealtime, due to needing an extra few pounds, but hey, who wouldn't be? I'm still working on perfecting my manners and have been doing much better about jumping when I'm excited. I've been told I'm great with cats, having spent some fun times with some feline friends during my foster stay and haven't meet a dog I didn't like. I'm good with kids but have to be reminded to keep all 4 paws on the ground. I sleep through the night in my crate without a peep. I'm a fan of fetch, absolutely adore my chew toys and walking me is a breeze. I am heart worm positive but take my medication with a spoon of peanut butter without any hesitation. Please come meet me and find out how sweet and special I am!

Story

FOSTER NEEDED starting on 4/20 Hi! My name is Oboe. I came into the PLR family around 10-11 weeks old. My foster family immediately fell in love with me because I'm a beautiful and sweet girl! They have 2 teenage boys and 2 older (and way BIGGER) dogs that I LOVE to play with. (The black one in the pics is a PLR alum!) If my foster mom would let me, I would follow them everywhere in the house. Because I'm still potty training, I guess I need to stay tethered to her or in my crate for now. I will learn quickly though! I have not had a poop accident in the house and only 2 pee accidents. I know I will continue to get better! I love being outside! I love the grass and rolling around in it. Sometimes I try to eat the grass and the mulch so my foster family has to watch me carefully. But I love chasing after balls and sticks with my furry siblings. That's the BEST! Where I obviously still have my puppy moments, my mom thinks I have a really good temperament! I just want to please her, and I get so excited when she praises me. I even sit when offered a toy! I am a little extra excited in the mornings... I guess that's the puppy in me. But throughout the day, as long as I have frequent play times and can run a bit outside, I can be pretty chill while my family isn't paying attention to me. I play with my toys by myself at times, and I am doing better in my crate each day! I can't wait to meet you! I haven't met a stranger, and I know you will fall in love with me, too!

Story

Hello there! My name is Trumpet! Don't worry, I'm not nearly as loud as my name suggests, though I do talk when I'm feeling lonely. I'm really just a big love bug, wanting to be pet and cuddled all the time. I do great with other dogs both big and small but I haven't been introduced to cats or little humans, though I'm sure I'll love the little humans just as much as I'll love you. I do like to jump though, so maybe little humans on the bigger side would be best. I sleep in a crate at night as long as there's a blanket over it. I feel left out if I can see others around me when I'm crated up. I love the water. My foster mom has this great mud puddle in the back yard, and every time I'm out there I just have to jump in and splash around. I'd love having my own little pool or going to the beach or river. Will you be my forever swim partner... I mean forever home?

Boone's loves to play fetch.  You should plan on purchasing a ball launcher or have a good arm!  His love of fetch knows no bounds: hot or cold, day or night, rain or shine, he's always ready to play. He loves butt scratches, ear massages and belly rubs.  He'll join you on the couch or bed or be content with his dog bed.  Boone is looking for a family to play fetch with him and love him for the sweet boy he is.  He will need a home with another dog or with a human who is home most of the time. He is not used to being totally alone. Boone has always lived with either another dog or a person who was home most of the day.  Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.    We prefer that applicants live no further than one hour from Cary NC.  Our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian is any medical care is needed prior to adoptions being finalized.  Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.  We will consider applicants who live a bit further IF the fit is perfect for Boone.

We're currently working on basic skills like focus, sit, down, come, and leave-it. Promoting manners and patience along the way!  I'm crate, house, and potty-trained. I sleep in my crate throughout the entire night without a peep!   I love adventure! Car rides are fine by me. What's that? You wonder if I'm friendly with strangers? You betcha! My foster family is very active so I’m used to a busy home and love it! Although I love a busy and exciting home, I'm a pretty quiet doggo with a moderate energy level. I've been known to stay content in my crate for up to 4 hours at a time.    A fenced yard would be great but isn't totally necessary! I am familiar with a doggy door already so that's a plus if you have one! Being outside is so much fun! I love bonding with my humans, playing with tons of toys, and wrestling with other doggos. I'm an all-around pretty cool pup who would love an outdoorsy companion to take me on hikes and swims at the lake!

Best Friend Pet Adoption and another shelter rescued all the puppies. We took three puppies and bottle fed them.  They are now healthy,  growing quickly   and looking for their forever homes.    Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Travis requires an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered for adoption.   Applicants must live no further than one hour from Raleigh/Cary NC.
