Story
Hi. I’m Copper, a handsome brown/black puppy--they say I might be a Rhodesian ridgeback mix. I was born in the woods to a stray momma around 5/13/25. Mom left us at about 5 weeks old; but a really nice person fed my siblings and got them to a rescue. Sadly, I was in hiding and was missed. By the time they found me and got me to the rescue, I was half the size of my siblings. But with good care and food, I’m now just as big! I’m learning all about nice people, dogs, and even cats. Indoor living is amazing. We play, wrestle, cuddle, go on walks, eat, and sleep. Oh, and potty. I’m working on house training. My foster mom says I’m supposed to potty outside, but I prefer playing. No worries, I’ll get it figured out soon. I am a little shy to new things, but if you take the time to help me learn, I’ll do fine. They say I’m all ready to be adopted. Could it be with you? ***PLEASE NOTE*** This pup has not yet been altered and requires an extra $100 spay/neuter deposit. JCAPL will pay for the procedure at a partner clinic and once completed, the deposit will be refunded to the adopter. However, a non-local adopter is required to pay for the spay/neuter at their own veterinarian by a specific date. After proof of the procedure is provided, $50 of the adoption fee will be refunded with the deposit. *** Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen? You'll need to start by completing an adoption application, available online at our website: www.jcapl.org. There is no obligation to adopt by completing an application, however, we do recommend submitting an application as soon as you find an animal you are interested in. We review applications in the order they are received. Completed applications can be submitted online, or sent via email to adopt@jcapl.org, or faxed to 919-300-5524. We will contact you as soon as possible once we receive your application. *** Thanks for thinking adoption! ***

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Jasper. That’s probably not my real name because my story is unfortunately a lot like many other unwanted pets. I was left to fend for myself not knowing where my next meal would be. Luckily I was rescued and given my chance to shine. I have proven that I really really love people regardless of my early start with humans. I want to be loved so much that I will beg for just a head rub and lap snuggles. Yes I’m a big strong boy but I’m really a small lap dog disguised in a hound dog body. Do I give slobbery kisses, why yes, is there a problem with that? I love to run and play but if given a choice I’d rather be by my persons side. I would make a great adventure companion. Riding shotgun by your side wherever you go, that would be my doggie dream. Currently I share a foster home with lots of other all size dogs but I would really like to be your only ride or die dog. I’ve gone so long without one on one attention that I’m constantly competing for the attention. Am I perfect? Heck no but I’m a diamond in the rough, clay ready to be molded. I’m looking for my person who is ready to be my furever person. One who will love me and never give up on me. I’ve been waiting a long time to just be loved. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 6, 2025, 12:44 pm

Story
Meet Orieanna, a beautiful 2-year-old mixed-breed girl weighing about 45 pounds. She’s spayed, up-to-date on all her vaccines, and ready for a loving forever home. Orieanna is a sweet, affectionate companion who forms strong bonds with her person. She’s potty trained, enjoys a good routine, and loves spending time outside—whether it’s exploring the yard, lounging in the sun, or going for relaxing walks. She gets along well with most dogs, but she prefers a home where toys aren’t left out when other dogs are around, as she can be a bit protective of them. Because she bonds so deeply, Orieanna thrives best in a one-person household where she can feel secure and be the center of attention. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your best friend through every adventure, Orieanna might be the perfect match.
