Story
Bio coming soon! Did you know that when you adopt from the Maggie Society, your new family member comes with two copies of vet records. All Maggie dogs are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention prior to adoption. Your adoption fee goes towards the vetting of another dog or puppy in need. If interested in adopting, please complete an application. An approved application from The Maggie Society is valid for up to one year. It is not necessary to complete additional applications for dogs or puppies of interest if you have already been approved. Please reach out to the Maggie Society or your adoption counselor for a meet and greet!

Story
Magnus – Sweet Boy Ready to Shine! Meet Magnus, a handsome pup who has been making wonderful progress and showing more of his sweet personality every day. While he can be a little reserved at first, Magnus has learned to enjoy affection and is becoming more confident as he settles in. Magnus truly lights up around other dogs and absolutely loves to play. He thrives with a social, playful canine friend and would love a home where he can have a buddy to romp around with. With patience, love, and a playful companion, Magnus is sure to blossom into an amazing best friend. Magnus can be transported to our pickup location in Huntersville, NC on May 8th, 2026 if he has a committed adopter or committed foster.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. YOU MUST COMPLETE A BEST FRIEND PET ADOPTION APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED TO ADOPT POINTER POPPY.  PLEASE APPLY FOR POPPY AT:    https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC        Meet Pointer Poppy—the sweetest, gentlest soul you could ever hope to meet.   Poppy is a low-energy, easygoing girl who just wants to be close to her people. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or going for a stroll, she’s happiest simply being by your side. She’s fully house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and truly enjoys her daily outings. One of Poppy’s most special qualities is her love for people—she’s incredibly friendly with everyone she meets and absolutely adores children. She’s gentle, affectionate, and has a calm presence that makes her a wonderful companion for families or individuals alike. Poppy is currently living in an apartment and does great in that setting. She’s a quiet dog overall, only barking occasionally if someone knocks or there’s noise outside. She doesn’t need a yard as long as she gets her regular walks and potty breaks. She can happily live as the only dog, but if there is another dog in the home, she prefers calmer companions—especially smaller dogs who match her laid-back vibe. She’s also lived peacefully with cats, making her a great fit for a multi-pet household with the right introductions. Poppy can be left home alone for a few hours at a time (about 4–5 hours), as long as the space is dog-proofed—she’s been known to do a little counter surfing when unsupervised! She does struggle with crate anxiety, so she’ll do best in a home where she can safely stay out of a crate. With her occasional playful bursts and zoomies, Poppy brings just the right mix of fun and calm. But more than anything, she brings love. She is devoted, affectionate, and simply wants a person to call her own. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Poppy is ready to fill your home with warmth, comfort, and unconditional love Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Applicants must 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 require applicants to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.

Story
Boone is ~10-11 months old. He is the sweetest dog, and a Velcro dog by every definition. He will want to follow you everywhere, and personal space is a thing of the past. The reason I’m considering rehoming him is because I recently started a new job, and I’m afraid I’ll be unable to provide him the amount of time and energy he needs. He’s a very high energy dog, and he needs to be able to run and play a lot. Like, a lot. He loves having a job to do. Ideally, he’d be able to live on a farm or somewhere with a lot of land where he has plenty of space to play and run. He’s extremely smart, and loves trying to impress the people around him. He’s also a cuddle bug. He’s an amazing dog - I just wish I had the time to give him the amount of playtime that he truly needs. He is potty trained, however, he is still a puppy, and needs to be taken out a little more often than an adult dog for now.

Story
(DOB 01/20/2021) Mia is a low-maintenance pup and is always up for a snuggle session. With her gentle nature and affectionate personality, she's the perfect companion for anyone seeking a furry friend to share their love and affection with. Mia's heart is as big as her adorable paws, making her the ultimate snuggle buddy. Don't miss out on the chance to bring this sweet and easy-going girl into your life! Mia will do well with furry siblings or an owner that can provide enough attention so she could also be an only dog. She is also good with children but is startled by quick/sudden movements. So older, more experienced dog-kiddos are best suited for her. She is a little shy at first but warms up quickly. Other than that, she really loves everyone she meets. She is already both house and crate trained and is well behaved in her crate. She enjoys going out for walks and is leash trained. She is learning new things like car rides and is a little nervous at first but settles in nicely on the drive.  Mia has the silkiest ears with the cutest little freckles on them. She has a smile that will warm your heart and radiate throughout the day. She is at a great age and is a wonderful mid-size. Plus, she can do that super cute brow furrow that wrinkles up and is so adoarble. She really checks off so many boxes and will add so much love to you and your family!! If you are looking for a lifetime of unconditional love, Mia wants to meet you! Fill out an application today! As part of Mia's $300 adoption fee she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. If you have any questions about this girl you can email dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Mia, you can fill out an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet tab on our website www.pawsforlifenc.org.  ##1652954##
