Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All dogs on our website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered or meet any of our dogs.  Please submit an application now! The link to our application is at    https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC.        Hannah is a 10 year old Yorkshire/ Chi mix.   Hannah is lovable, sweet, and looking for a family that will continue to help her blossom into the confident, happy pup she was always meant to be.  She is friendly but is not a lap dog or a dog that begs to be cuddled.  Hannah loves her "den"—she’ll often sleep in her crate with the door open, content and cozy. She’s also housebroken and enjoys spending time outdoors in the yard, we take her out five times a day to stretch her legs and explore her world.   At first, she was fearful of the leash and would lie down while on it. She is making slow progress on a leash but a fenced-in yard would be ideal for Hannah. She loves to be outside lounging in the grass or on the deck. Hannah would do well in a home with a calm dog to help boost her confidence. She’s a little vocal when it comes to sharing space with our dogs, but it’s all part of her process of feeling comfortable and secure. She’s also shown that she can be independent and could do fine with an adopter who works away from the home during the day, especially if there’s another dog to keep her company.  She has had positive interactions with other dogs but has not been around children or cats. She’s generally a quiet dog, but can be vocal at times when she’s feeling talkative. Because she’s still a bit shy, a calm, understanding home would be the perfect environment for her to continue to grow. Hannah is looking for a family who will embrace her gentle nature and help her come out of her shell.  If you're ready to offer a loving home to a dog who truly deserves it, Hannah might be the dog for you.  EVERY DOG HAS A STORY:   Hannah was surrendered by her owner due to illness.  She lived her whole life with one family and is now looking for a new forever home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Applicants 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 to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.  For the right perfect home for Hannah, we may  consider applicants who live a litter further.  INTERESTED IN ADOPTING HANNAH?  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 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 7, 2025, 9:48 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › This sweet pup, along with 13 others, was rescued from a backyard breeder and brought to Pawfect Match after enduring truly heartbreaking conditions. They had been living outdoors on dirt floors, exposed to the elements, and forced to fend for themselves. Tilly is heartworm positive Despite their difficult past, they are friendly with other dogs, having been surrounded by many. They’re also affectionate with people, though they’ve never known the comfort of a real home. These dogs will need patient, understanding adopters who can gently teach them what it means to be part of a family. They are still learning the basics—potty training, walking on a leash, and building confidence through socialization. With love and guidance, they have the potential to thrive and become wonderful companions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 6, 2025, 1:20 pm

Story
Barnabas is a 5 year old Yorkie mix with a big heart and a little body. Weighing in at just under 9 pounds, this very handsome scruff ball is the perfect blend of cuddle bug and playful adventurer. Besides being extremely fun to look at, Barnabas is also completely house trained, very obedient, catches on to new commands quickly, and is great with kids. He absolutely loves to run and play, whether its running laps around the yard or chasing a toy in the living room. After hes had his fun, hell happily curl up in your lap for some serious snuggle time. Barnabas loves nothing more than cuddling with his humans! Barnabas would do best in a home where his owners can work on some leash training and training around barking. He sometimes has a lot to say! That being said, he is a very smart little guy and would catch on quickly to some new rules - he will do pretty much anything for a treat! If youre looking for a pint-sized companion with a playful spirit, Barnabas is your man!
