You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All dogs on the Best Friend Pet Adoption  website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered or meet any of our dogs.  The link to our application is   https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC      Pluto is an affectionate, 70 pound, neutered male dog.  Pluto is very sweet, healthy, and happy. He is up-to-date on his vaccinations and the vet estimates his age as 6 years old.   Pluto is great with people (including kids) and most dogs. His favorite things include pets, cuddles, naps, and chew toys. He keeps himself entertained but will chase after toys and gets excited when we take him for walks or on a drive.    Pluto plays well with our other dogs, however, we have noticed that he can be possessive  over toys if boundaries are not set. He is house-trained and not possessive over food. He is quiet and will only briefly bark when we have a package or visitor. He will use the bathroom in a fenced yard or on a leash.  He has met one cat. He was not aggressive but seems to have a prey drive so he would do best in a home without cats. He is fine in the yard with our chickens even without supervision. We feel Pluto could be with other dogs or as an only dog.   Pluto is crate trained; however, he does not need a crate. He prefers to be out of his crate. He is well mannered so he is allowed to free roam even when we are not home.  He knows where he is allowed to go and what toys he can play with.  He is used to us being gone during that day for work. We check up on him on the dog camera and he is usually sleeping.    At night, Pluto sleeps on a couch, recliner, or dog bed depending on his preference. He does prefer to sleep with us but snores way too loud.  Pluto is a wonderful dog who is gentle, and friendly. He is always ready to snuggle up next to you on the couch and receive pets. He will make a great family pet.  Could you consider giving him the loving home he  deserves?  EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Pluto was found abandoned on the side of the road in October 2023. A BFPA volunteer found him and took him in.  We are helping this sweet boy find his forever home.      Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.    Applicants should ideally live no further than one hour from Cary NC.  Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize adoptions.  For the perfect home for Pluto, we will considered approved applicants who live a bit further away from the Triangle area of NC.    INTERESTED IN ADOPTING PLUTO?

Story
Meet Binka – Your Sweet and Snuggly Sidekick! Binka is a charming Bulldog/Dogo mix with a heart full of love to give! This affectionate girl thrives on snuggles and adores spending quality time with her humans. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch or playing tug with her doggy foster siblings, Binka is happiest when she’s part of the action. Though Binka can be a little shy when meeting new people or dogs in unfamiliar places, she quickly shines when guests visit her home, greeting them with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. Once she has a moment to settle into a new environment, her sweet personality comes through loud and clear. Binka’s slight vision impairment means she sees the world a little differently, but it doesn’t slow her down! She can see close-up and enjoys chasing a ball, even if her aim is a bit creative. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home with older kids who can match her gentle and playful energy—she adores her foster mom's young nieces (ages 7 and 9) and plays with them beautifully. This smart pup is fully potty and crate trained and walks like a pro on a leash with only minimal guidance. Binka is an easygoing, playful companion who’s as happy exploring the world as she is curling up for a cozy nap. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, and low-maintenance pup to complete your family, Binka is ready to be your forever friend! Could she be the one for you? ##1949139##

Story
DOG DAY OUT PARTICIPANTS: Staff noted that I have a high pray drive so I do not do well with cats. Please do not take me to a place where we may encounter some small feline friends. I enjoy long walks or runs, lots of belly rubs and overall being outside. Thank you for considering me for your dog day out adventure. INSIGHTS FROM MY DOG DAY OUT:`Bilal was a joy to spend the day with! He was very polite in the car and knew “sit”, “treat”, and “walk”. He was amazing on the leash - didn’t pull and wasn’t phased by squirrels or other people. Although we walked 3.5 miles, I could tell he is a couch potato at heart and would be happy just snuggling with his human! He definitely has that sweet pitty personality!``Bilal was such a cool guy!! We walked up to UNC where he got lots of pets from students. We sat on the quad and he napped while I got some school work done. He was fantastic the entire day. He did well for the car rides. He was strong around the shelter likely from all the stress and energy of it, but once he got out at my apartment for the walk to campus, he didn’t pull on the leash at all. He didn’t react to humans, children, or other dogs. He was super friendly and LOVED the attention from students. At one point he had about seven people petting him and was flopped over on his belly soaking up all the love. I’ve worked with pit bulls and similar breeds many times and he was by far the most relaxed and well behaved. He knows the sit command and responded well to “leave it” when passing squirrels. Though he enjoyed the walk, he got lazy at the end and was practically dragging his paws. He is a couch potato at heart and enjoys snuggling up next to humans for pets. He also took treats gently and was unfazed by students petting and squishing his face, so I believe he would do great addition to any family.``Had such a fun day with sweet sweet Bilal. We went on a nice walk through my neighborhood, which thoroughly tired him out! He was happy to come back and relax on the couch, while also getting lots of lots of love from my roommates. We then went to go get some coffee and take

Story
Age: 6 years old (approx) Weight: 50 pounds Adoption Fee: $175 (includes microchip, neuter surgery and vaccinations) Papa is a very friendly medium-sized dog who is sweet and people-oriented. He knows how to SIT, lay down, and SHAKE hands and will even do this with either paw! He is quite playful but also a well-behaved adult dog. He likes car rides and going for puppacinos and frozen yogurt! He loves all people and loves to make new friends! We have also discovered he seems to enjoy wearing hats and sweaters, and he's so photogenic that you cannot help but dress him up for pictures! He's our resident Dog Model who will wear just about anything and has fun too. Got Netflix? He'll binge-watch whatever you're watching with you (we can't guarantee he'll stay awake though!) We have also found that Papa also really likes race tracks! He has been to Virginia International Raceway THREE times and loves all the people and noise.  His ideal home would have no other dogs (cats who know dogs are OK) and no small children/toddlers (he jumps a little bit when he's excited and could knock a little child over without meaning harm). He likes to run around with balls so a fenced yard is required. **************************************************************************** Papa is available for adoption through Spirit Canine Rescue. To adopt Papa, please visit our website http://www.spiritcaninerescue.org/adopt.html for more information and to complete an application. A home visit will be required prior to adoption. We request that all adopters be within reasonable traveling distance to Burlington NC.   * Our only obligation is to the dogs in our program and we reserve the right to determine whether a particular dog and the adopter are the right fit. Remember, just because a dog "looks" like the one you want, that does not necessarily mean that the dog will "behave" like the one you want! Note: We do not adopt out of state!  We do not adopt dogs into homes with invisible /underground fencing! February 25, 2024, 12:13 am

Story
Gianna was in a home for a couple months but unfortunately it didn't work out. (Again, due to not fault of her own) so she's back at the shelter, disheartened, wondering where her forever is and when they will find her. * Sponsored by Underdogs to Allstars; which means her adoption fee is covered and her adopter will receive training assistance and all the tools to set you and Gianna up for a happy and successful life together. Gianna is a goofy, outgoing girl who is looking for a fun and active family to take her on adventures. The shelter environment is a bit over stimulating for her (as it is for many dogs) so she appears a little bit wild and unruly at times. We know this isn't the true Gianna. When we pulled her from CCAS after she had been there for awhile, she greeted us sweetly, rubbing her head on her lap and asking for pets. Gianna was adopted from our shelter but unfortunately re returned due to no fault of her own. Because she is a still a young dog with little obedience training, we are recommending a home without small children. With the proper structure, enrichment and boundaries we know that Gianna is going to transition into her forever home flawlessly.
