And when it's time to wind down, he loves nothing more than snuggling up on the couch with his humans, ready to enjoy a good movie together.Rest assured, Chester is already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his preventives.

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! May 28, 2023, 11:19 pm

Story
Hi there! My name is King. I am a medium sized, affectionate and curious fella. I enjoy being outside, eatting yummy treats, and being with my people. My previous owners said I was playful, energetic, used to being indoors and outdoors, and that I was good with small children. Staff still recommends slow and monitored introductions to new people and animals in the home. I was a bit vocal in my previous home so I hope my furever family can help meet my physical and mental energy requirements so I can settle nicely in my new environment :) I can`t wait to meet you! Please ask staff if you have any questions about me.
