Story

Meet Baxter! If you're searching for a loving new family member, your search ends here. Baxter is a 12-pound, 2-3-year-old Malti Tzu (a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix), and he embodies all the best, sweetest traits of both breeds. Baxter was found as a stray in Nashville after someone suspected he’d been hit by a car and brought him to the emergency vet. Thankfully, there were no broken bones, but he is currently healing from a sore back leg. (He’ll have X-rays taken when he’s neutered on 7/7.) We wish Baxter could tell us what happened and how he ended up on his own—it’s hard to imagine any family not wanting such a sweet boy. Baxter is both a people-lover and a dog’s dog! He loves to play and would thrive with a young, active canine companion in his forever home. He adores people and always wants to be by your side—be prepared to never be alone again! His sore leg doesn’t slow him down; he still jumps on the furniture to be with his foster mom whenever steps are available. This young gentleman walks well on a leash and is fully housebroken. He loves going on adventures and rides like a champ in the car—he even prefers the back seat, though he’s happy on a passenger’s lap, too! Baxter is the perfect companion for trips to the park or visits to dog-friendly restaurants and shops. To learn more about bringing Baxter into your family or to request an adoption application, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. Don’t wait—this sweet boy won’t be available for long! June 30, 2026, 6:44 pm

Story

🍩 hot and ready: get your krispy kreme! 🍩 looking for a tiny shadow with a big brain, flawless house manners, and the best bedhead you’ve ever seen? say hello to krispy kreme. don’t let the aerodynamic look fool you — she’s not a hairless dog, she’s just working through some chronic skin allergies (more on that below). what she IS: tiny, smart, silly, and 100% ready to steal your whole heart. • she’s potty trained, crate trained, and walks like a pro on leash. • she’s also super chill about being left alone — though if you sit down for one (1) second, she WILL be in your lap. • the girlie is sharp. she knows sit, touch, and spin — she picks things up almost faster than you can teach them. • baths and nail trims don’t even faze her, she just rolls with it like a tiny professional. • socially she’s an absolute menace in the best way — meets a new person, decides they’re her best friend, especially if there are treats involved. • she’s not really a toy girl but she LOVES a gentle game of bitey-hands, and she’s silly about it too — total goofball who chases her tail and rubs herself all over blankets like she’s living her best life. • she gets along great with the other small dogs in her foster home. • she’s got a deeper bark than you’d expect from someone her size, but she barely ever uses it a couple notes for her person: • she can get a little food-possessive, so she eats separately from other dogs — easy fix, she’s great about trading items for treats • about that look — like we said, no hairless genes here, just chronic allergies we’re managing with apoquel and a limited ingredient diet. with some patience we expect her to grow into a full fluffy coat. in the meantime she’s totally happy in clothes, so basically you get a dress-up buddy while she glows up 🥹 ready to add the sweetest treat to your family? apply for krispy kreme through Hope Animal Rescue 💛 If you are interested in Krispy Kreme 🍩, click Apply for Adoption!

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. INTERESTED IN MEETING OR ADOPTING PIERRE from Best Friend Pet Adoption rescue? If so, please fill out our dog adoption application by copying and pasting this link in a new browser window: https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC. This is always the first step which needs to be completed before meeting any Best Friend Pet Adoption dog. Meet Pierre — Your New Best Companion Pierre isn’t looking for a pack — he’s looking for his person. This calm, loving gentleman is ready to be your loyal shadow, your walking buddy, and your couch companion for life. A little about Pierre: Pierre came into rescue and never looked back. Quiet, gentle, and deeply affectionate, he has a way of making every room feel a little brighter just by being in it. Whether he’s tucked beside you on the sofa or trotting happily at your side on a walk, Pierre is happiest simply being near the person he loves. He’ll politely let you know when he’d like a lift onto the bed — an adorable bark, nothing more — and then sleep soundly at your feet until morning. Expect to wake up to his joyful little twirls and prances. It’s the best alarm clock you’ll ever have. Pierre is a great fit if you’re looking for a dog who is: â Calm and quiet — he rarely barks and is perfectly happy in a house/apartment â Already nearly housebroken and doing great with his belly band â Crate trained â Easygoing with other dogs (and likely fine with cats too) â An enthusiastic leash walker who loves his daily outings His perfect home: Pierre is a devoted companion who bonds deeply with his person and does best when he can spend plenty of time with them. He can manage time alone, but he truly flourishes with someone who keeps him close. He does equally well as an only dog or with furry siblings, and he’s just as happy in a cozy apartment as in a house. No yard needed — his tail wags on walks. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants ideally should live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care 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 therefore prefer applicants that live within an hours drive of Cary NC.
