Story
Snookie is a 10 yr old black pug mix who has found herself needing a new home. She was rescued from the Richmond SPCA about 5/6 years ago after her owners had passed and unfortunately, has found herself in the same situation.She is spayed, UTD on shots and currently on Heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick medication. She is a total love bug who impatiently waits for you to sit down on the couch or chair so she can snuggle up as close as possible for some back rubs. She loves to sleep in the bed with you as well and prefers to be under the covers. Car rides and short walks are a fav and she does very well on a leash. She is house trained, crate trained, and her foster mom is currently working on helping her lose a few pounds to make life easier on her.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.PLEASE NOTE:  Jett requires an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can meet him. Our application can be found at  https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC. We will be looking for YOUR application!        FOSTER COMMENTS: Jett — a gentle, loving soul with the sweetest heart and the softest eyes. This gentle  boy may be a little timid at first, but underneath that cautious exterior is one of the most affectionate, playful, and eager-to-please pups you could ever hope to meet. Jett is completely housebroken, walks well on leash after his initial excitement, and absolutely adores praise, cuddles, and belly scratches. Tell him “good boy” and you can practically see his whole heart light up. He lives for affection and wants nothing more than to love and be loved by his people. Like many sensitive dogs, Jett takes a little time to warm up to new people and unfamiliar situations. Fast movements and loud toddler energy can overwhelm him, so he would do best in a calmer home with older children or adults who understand that trust is something earned gently and patiently. His timidness can truly tug at your heartstrings, but watching him slowly gain confidence is incredibly rewarding. One of the sweetest things about Jett is how hard he tries. Even when he’s unsure, he wants so badly to be brave. He watches, learns, and blossoms a little more every day. We truly believe there is a perfect family out there who will give him the patience, reassurance, and unconditional love he deserves. Jett gets along well with other dogs once he’s had a chance to settle in, and we think a confident canine sibling could really help show him the ropes and continue building his confidence. He’s also been neutral around cats. While he can entertain himself tossing toys in the air and playing independently, he absolutely lights up when he gets to run, play or chase. A fenced yard would be a bonus since he loves to run fast, but it’s not a must. He’s wonderful in the car, loves walk/hikes and gets especially excited when you jog alongside him. Despite his playful side and moderate-to-high energy outdoors, Jett has a calm, cuddly side in the home and is perfectly content snuggled close to his people. Personal space? Not really his thing. Kisses, cuddles, and companionship are his specialties. Whether it’s hiking, beach days, car rides, or curling up on the couch, Jett is happiest when he's by your side. He lives to make you smile, and he understands the joy of bringing happiness to his people. Jett doesn’t need a huge house or fenced yard to be happy — just a loving home willing to give him time to feel safe. In return, you’ll gain one of the most loyal, tender-hearted companions imaginable. Some dogs immediately demand attention. Jett quietly steals your heart forever   EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Jett's Mother was killed by another dog when she gave birth.  A rescue saved the puppies and bottle feed them for weeks. After they were bottle feed, Best Friend Pet Adoption admitted two of the puppies, Jett and Jax.  Jax has been adopted and now Jett is looking for his forever home. Can you provide a wonderful home for him?     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.   INTERESTED IN ADOPTING JETT ?
