Story
Meet Frisky, an exceptionally well-behaved houseguest! He refrains from jumping, counter surfing, or engaging in unwanted activities in the house. He spends most of his day napping on various beds and is crated only at night. Although he may not love entering the crate initially, once inside, he remains quiet and calm. The only sound you hear is his tail wagging so hard against the crate when he sees you! Frisky has excellent potty manners and knows to use the bathroom outside. He walks well on a leash and behaves well during car rides, although he may need some encouragement to get in and out. In the presence of his foster's senior dog, Frisky closely follows and appears eager to play, adjusting well to corrections. While he hasn't officially met the resident cat, his interest suggests potential compatibility, but a face-to-face introduction is recommended. Frisky is a super wiggly people lover, and his foster mom states he's the most well-behaved foster she's ever had. This sweetheart will make an amazing pet for a very lucky adopter. Come meet him today!

Story
*** CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON-SITE *** This beautiful young girl is a just a little shy at first, takes a day or so to get settled in and then becomes your best friend. She is cute & playful, loves to chase a laser light around, play tug and will often entertain herself rolling a ball around. Crate trained, 99% housebroken, learning basic manners, getting used to leash walking and car rides, she quickly learned the household routine/rules even with a house full of distractions and will be a champion with some one-on-one training. Nutter likes to play with other dogs and gets nervous around other energetic puppies & protective when new dogs crowd around her. She does best meeting 1 at a time and once she feels safe, she will follow them all over. One of Nutter's most favorite things to do is snuggle up next to her person or favorite dog mate. She is an excellent cuddler! She is a happy, loving girl that wants nothing more than a happy, loving person or family to call her own. *Weekend Host feedback: "She loves to be close to you and always rests her head on you". She will allow you to pick her up, and doesn't mind being harnessed or leashed". "She goes right into her crate without complaint". "She was completely oblivious of our cat". Recent Weekend Host commented: "She quickly warmed up to both new people and new dogs." "She was very playful with our two dogs but also takes dog social cues well. " "jumped into the car on her own for adventures! " "Nutter is a great eater and seems very food motivated which would bode well for training!"

Patches is ready for the pool! She is primed and ready for a summertime companion!   Patches has the biggest, most infectious smile! Patches is a good companion in the car and well behaved. Wanna grab a coffee and a Pup-o-chino or ice cream, Patches is happy to join you!  This girl is a road trip fanatic!  She loves everyone she meets and vice versa. Patches is really a big velcro dog and loves to be right with you. She will definitely lean right into you for some rubs and snuggles.   Patches has been to doggie daycare, and she does well with all the other dogs and humans.  She has a lot of energy so other playful pups in her adoptive family will be awesome!  Patches will need a home with fence because she has a lot of energy and wants to run around and play.  Patches could be an only pup or in a family with another sweet, playful and fun furry sibling(s). Patches lives with other dogs currently in her foster home. During the summer she loves jumping in the baby pool to cool off.   She is good with other dogs and children but may be too rambunctious for children under 10 years of age due to her size. She has that happy puppy personality and is still working on her manners but she’s improving every day.  She knows the words No, Sit and Stay and is crate trained. She is a sweet girl and loves to cuddle and be loved.    She loves food and is very food motivated which is helpful for training purposes. She is very smart and a fast learner. She will sit patiently while you prepare her meals.   As part of Patches's $250 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Patches, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org ##1073223##

Story
Do you need a playful pup for your playful pup? Honey is a lovable, caring, fun, energetic, and spunky dog. She loves lots of attention, likes long walks but is still learning her leash manners. Apartment life is not for her.  She has a lot of energy so she needs a home with an active family and a large fenced yard to run around in and work out the zoomies.  She is a 5-year-old, 60lb female Lab/Hound mix. Honey is dog friendly, and it's recommended that she would do better in a setting with older kids.  She is active so wouldn't want to accidently knock a little one down.  A recent vacation Foster had this to say about sweet Honey: "We only fostered her one night while her foster mom was away but she did AMAZING with my kids who are 4 and 6. She played outside with them, immediately rolled on her belly for them and did not jump.  Again, we only had her one night and she loved the fenced yard but when she was in the house, she was chill and just laid in the middle of the floor with everyone.  Just wanted to share our experience with her" Most importantly Honey is house trained and is crate trained which is great! She does well when she is in her crate while alone. Honey likes toys and likes to chew, so would do well with durable toys and things to keep her occupied. At the end of the day, she’ll be the first one to lay on the couch and cuddle with you. Honey is looking for a loving home with her furever family to love her and play with her. As part of Honey's $300 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.  If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Sandy, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##945313##

(DOB 12/17/2023).  Due to Juicy Fruit's young age, she has not yet been spayed.  For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).  Juicy Fruit has only been with us for 4 weeks, so we are still learning about her.  For now, she is your typical puppy. She is inquisitive about everything and is full of kisses.  She is very loving.  Her days are spent eating, sleeping, playing, pottying and repeat.  She just now got enough vaccines to start going outdoors with paws on ground, so true potty training is just beginning.  She is looking for a home with another dog to help her learn how to dog.  Her weight as of March 29th is only 7 lbs. She would love a lap, cuddles and a family that has someone that works from home or stays at home. As part of Juicy Fruit’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 little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Juicy Fruit, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2010110##

Tilly is a sweet girl who loves cuddling with her person on the couch or running and playing with her larger 4-legged friends. She’s very versatile and just down to do any activity her people have in mind. When she’s happy or excited she will do this little tippy tap with her front paws so she has gotten the nickname “tip tappin Tilly”! She would do best in a home with no cats or small dogs. She knows sit and down (as in lay down) we have been working with multiple commands and she has done wonderful! She’s a great listener and recalls very easily. Loves car rides! And great on a leash! Till is the perfect size at 33 lbs. Tilly is spayed and up to date on all her shots. Tilly is heartworm + but she is on treatment to start taking care of that. We can’t wait to meet you!  ##1796263##

Hey there, I'm Unitas, one of Ember's adorable pups . Let me tell you, I'm quite the canine companion. Car rides? No sweat, I handle both short hops and long journeys like a champ . Nights are for snoozing peacefully in my crate, accident-free, might I add . And as for house training? Well, let's just say I'm mastering that art . I'm a quick study, you see! But it's not just about obedience; I've got a heart full of love . I'm a social butterfly, wagging my tail at every dog and person I meet . Snuggling up and receiving belly rubs? Count me in! And when it comes to fun, I've got a few favorites. Whether it's people-watching at breweries, strolling on my leash, or engaging in a lively game of tug-of-war, I'm always up for a good time ‍. ##1916346##

Story
Hi there, I'm Daria - your golden-hued canine companion, and I'm on a mission to spread sweetness and a dash of spice wherever I go! Picture this: I'm an adult dog who's got the sweetness game down to an art. Lounging is my specialty, and I take great pride in lavishing belly rubs and kisses upon my favorite people. When it comes to lazing around, consider me the expert. My sunny disposition lights up any room, and I've got a soft spot for curling up beside you for some quality relaxation time. I'm the embodiment of sugar, and my love for people knows no bounds. Now, let's talk about the spice - I do have doggo friends and I love to play hard. Go hard or go home I think you two legged people say and that works when it comes to my romping time. Oh, did I mention I'm potty and crate trained? Yep, I've got those skills down too. Your home will be my haven, and I'll make sure to keep everything neat and tidy. So, if you're looking for a furry friend who brings a perfect blend of sweetness, lazy lounging, and a touch of spice to your life, look no further. I'm Daria, and I'm ready to add some flavor to our adventure together! *Additional feedback from a weekend host includes: "She rode great in the car. Didn't make a peep". "She is a very affectionate little girl". Recent host commented: "She sure is a couch potato, as soon as we got to the house she made herself @ home on the sofa & chilled." "Daria jumped up behind me and helped herself to a piece of cheese. LOL! She felt at ease to do that so I knew we hit it off right away." "She's a super sweet girl very well behaved and would be a wonderful addition to any home. "
