Story
Have you always wanted a cat, but only had room in your home for a dog? Then have we got the guy for you! Zeus is a swinging single senior with a lot of life to live. His favorite things are to rub against your legs, walk in front of you in zig zags while you're trying to move in a straight line, and curl up and snooze on a random blanket in a dark room. Oh, and he's EXTREMELY food and treat motivated! To add to the cat mystique, he's almost completely deaf, so ignoring you is kind of a character trait. He's house trained, allowed to free roam but can be crated if needed, and will also let you know if he needs to go outside. He's at least part Sharpei, so he has those cute little mouse ears, a rougher coat, and a spotted tongue. And he has these little gray patches of fur under his eyes that create a seriously adorable expression. He will follow you around the house, but will settle in and relax at your feet. He can manage a few steps, but more than that might be difficult on a regular basis. He has a few favorite toys (including a couple stuffies and a jolly ball) that he'll randomly play with. But his main thing is being around his people. He's neutered and heartworm negative, ready to join a new home for his next chapter. We'd love to see this gent have the best rest of his life. Adoption fee of $90 includes neuter, microchip, vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing, and heartworm/flea/tick preventionApply here: https://2pawsup.org/applications/adoption-application/September 14, 2026, 1:43 am

Story
DOB: 08/05/2021 Meet Lady — your future best friend, professional snuggler, and certified ball enthusiast! ❤️ When you combine a squishy face, a silky-soft coat, a big smile, and an even bigger heart, you get Lady! Lady is the perfect blend of playful and well-mannered. She loves going for walks, exploring the world with her nose, playing with her favorite toys (especially BALLS!), and spending time with her people. And if you’re busy? Just toss her a ball and she’ll happily entertain herself. But Lady’s favorite place might just be right beside you. She absolutely loves couch cuddles and would be thrilled to curl up with you while you read, watch TV, listen to music, or simply relax after a long day. She’s petite enough to be a great snuggle buddy without taking over the whole bed — although she may have other plans! Lady is also a wonderful adventure companion. She loves car rides and is always happy to tag along wherever you’re headed. She’s an enthusiastic walker who enjoys plenty of time to stop and sniff along the way. She also enjoys the water and has been spotted happily dipping her toes into the lake and streams. Whether it’s an adventure or a quiet afternoon at home, Lady is a go-with-the-flow kind of girl. And that coat! Lady’s fur is incredibly soft, silky, thick, and velvety, making her very hard to resist petting. Fortunately, Lady is more than happy to help with that part! She loves attention and would gladly accept all the scratches you have to offer. Regular brushing will help keep her gorgeous coat looking and feeling its best. Lady is crate trained and potty trained, and her adaptable personality makes her a great candidate for a townhome, apartment, condo, or traditional home. Lady does have one quirk: she can be a little possessive of her favorite toys around other dogs. Because of that, she’d likely be happiest as your one-and-only dog, or potentially with a laid-back male dog who isn’t interested in competing for her toys. In her foster home, Lady happily lives alongside four-legged friends and enjoys their company, so she’s certainly capable of being part of a canine household with the right match. Most of all, Lady is looking for someone who will love her as much as she loves them. If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate, playful, cuddly companion who is ready to be by your side for all of life’s adventures, Lady may be your girl. Come meet Lady and prepare to fall in love! Lady’s $300 adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, and current flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Questions about Lady? Email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. Ready to make Lady part of your family? Complete an adoption application under the Adopt a Pet tab at www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Story
(DOB 10/31/2025) Jia is the kind of dog who feels like she was made to be part of a big, happy family. With her gentle nature and easygoing personality, she fits right in and that includes kids, cats, other dogs (even smaller ones). She has a natural understanding of how to be soft and respectful with little ones (both human and furry!), making her a wonderful companion in a busy, love-filled home. Jia NEEDS another playful dog in the home to help her burn energy and continue building her social skills. With her affectionate nature and lively spirit, she’ll do best in an active home ready to keep up with her zest for life and provide plenty of enrichment and playtime. This smart and inquisitive girl is always ready to learn something new. Jia is a quick learner who enjoys figuring things out, and her playful curiosity keeps life fun and engaging. Whether she’s exploring her surroundings, joining in on playtime, or simply watching the world go by, she brings a bright, happy energy wherever she goes. Jia has also shown that she handles new situations like a pro. At adoption events and meet-ups, she’s calm, friendly, and well-mannered around unfamiliar animals and people alike. She takes everything in stride and is especially patient and sweet with young children, happily soaking up attention and affection. So don't wait too long because this girl is an amazing catch! At the end of the day, Jia is all about connection and she loves being around her people, getting pets, and joining in on the fun. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and adaptable pup who will thrive in a lively household, Jia is ready to be your perfect match. As part of Jia’s $325 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate 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.

Story
(DOB 1/22/2026) If you're looking for a puppy who lives life at full speed and loves with her whole heart, Princess Tiana is ready to rule your kingdom! This adorable young girl is overflowing with curiosity, personality, and puppy energy. Every day is a new adventure in Tiana's world, and she's looking for a family that wants to join the fun. Tiana is a social butterfly who absolutely loves other dogs. Whether she's puppy wrestling, playing tug-of-war, chasing a ball in a game of fetch, or zooming around the yard with her canine friends, she's happiest when she has a playmate by her side. Because she's still young and learning about the world, Tiana would thrive in a home with another playful dog or a family committed to providing plenty of opportunities for doggy socialization through playdates, daycare, or regular outings. A securely fenced yard is also at the top of her wish list so she can safely burn off some of that puppy energy. Like any true princess, Tiana knows how to balance playtime with snuggle time. Once she's worn herself out, she transforms into a world-class cuddle bug. Be prepared for lots of puppy kisses and surprise nap locations! Tiana loves to curl up right on top of her humans, whether that's across your feet, your lap, your stomach, or even your head. Of course, she's also perfectly happy snoozing in her dog bed after a busy day of adventures. Tiana is good with children, though her size and enthusiastic puppy energy make her a better fit for families with older kids who can handle her playful nature. She is also learning about cats and currently finds them a little too fascinating, so her foster family is helping her practice appropriate manners around feline friends. As a young puppy, Tiana is still working on all the important life skills. She's making progress with crate training, potty training, leash walking, and learning not to jump up when she's excited to meet people. She's smart, eager to learn, and responds well to consistent guidance. Her ideal family will understand that puppies require patience, training, exercise, and continued socialization to grow into amazing adult dogs. Tiana is the total puppy package playful, affectionate, entertaining, and endlessly lovable. She'll keep you laughing with her silly antics, melt your heart with her sweet kisses, and remind you every day just how much joy a puppy can bring to a home. If you're ready for a loyal sidekick, a professional snuggler, and a four-legged best friend who will keep life exciting, Princess Tiana is ready to meet her happily ever after. As part of Tiana’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. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.

Story
DOB (08/05/2021) Lady is so loveable & snuggable! When squishy face=adorable, you get Lady! Lady is a perfect mix of playful and well-mannered. She loves going for walks, playing with her favorite toys (balls, balls, balls, please!), and enjoying quality time with her humans. If you're too busy to play, no worries, just give her a ball, and she will keep herself occupied!  If you are up for some snuggle time, Lady is very happy to jump on the sofa with you to relax, read a book, watch a show, or listen to some tunes. We think she'd make a great sleeping buddy and petite enough to not take up too much room on the bed yet help keep you nice and warm. She is always up for a walk, and she's extra happy if you stop and let her "smell the roses" or whatever is out there to sniff. She'll have her big smile across her face, her cute little gate, and her tail swishing side to side. Lady is also a car ride fan and happy to go with you wherever you go! Then there's couch snuggles and chewing on her favorite toy and call it wrap for a paw-fect day. She likes the water and has been found putting her toes in at the lake/stream. So she is a great go with the flow kind-of-a-girl with a smile that will light up the room and your heart! Honestly, she is just so adorable you will fall in love as soon as you meet her! Lady has the most silky-soft coat. We guess it is from the mix of breeds she must be that makes it thick, soft, and kind of a velvety feeling when you rub her. And let's be honest, she loves getting pets, so go for it!! She will need regular brushin'; that's super easy! She’s crate trained, potty trained, and would be a great fit for townhome, apartment, or condo living. Since Lady doesn't love to share her toys with other dogs, she'd do best as an only dog or with a male dog that doesn't care much about toys. In her foster home, Lady has 4-legged furry friends she pals around with and enjoys their company.  If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and snuggly best friend, Lady is ready to steal your heart!  As part of Lady’s $300 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Lady, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2163171##

Meet Kirby, an absolute fan-favorite of our volunteers! This sweet, happy boy is always ready to greet you with a big smile and plenty of affection. He loves being around people, and is a smart, attentive dog who listens well and is eager to please.Kirby is house trained and knows his basic commands including "sit", "stay" and "leave it." He is a great walking partner who does not pull on his leash, loves going on car rides and new adventures, and is the kind of companion who is happiest when included in your everyday life. Demonstrating what a well-behaved boy he is, Kirby will offer his paw for a friendly handshake if asked, but he will not jump up on people or furniture. This good-natured guy has a perfect balance of energy and calm. He enjoys being outside for walks and adventures, but once home, he settles down quickly and is happy to relax. He also looks for your cues for when it is time to wake up in the morning. Kirby would be delighted to be an only dog and get 100% of your love, but he can peacefully co-exist with another female dog. Kirby does need to be in a cat-free home. Kirby is up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, microchipped, neutered, and receiving treatment for heartworms. He is excited to find his forever family and to becoming your loyal, loving companion.Kirby is currently living in a foster home.

Story
Axel is a calm, low-energy charmer who may be a good fit for a home with kids. A little shy indoors, he blossoms into a confident, easygoing companion outside. Potty trained and knowing both "sit" and "down," Axel takes treats gently and would happily learn more tricks for snacks or belly rubs. He enjoys brief games of fetch, leisurely sniffing adventures, and a good chew toy. Friendly with new people and never jumpy, he trots along happily when it's time to go home. Axel also prefers to be your one and only dog.On a recent outing with a volunteer, he learned that he rides well in the car and was very content to snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. He really values chew toys, so having plenty of appropriate options is a must!He is already neutered and up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm prevention, is microchipped and ready to go home. If you have other animals, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.If you're interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Axel, 239739".
