🐾 Meet Henry Marcel — aka Hank! 🐶 Rescued from a busy intersection, Hank is a lovable, goofy sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger personality. This young pup is friendly, sociable, and very food-motivated, making him a great candidate for continued training. Since joining IAR, Hank has been working hard on crate training and basic commands—and he's doing great! He’s got a clumsy charm that’ll keep you laughing, and he starts each day with his favorite ritual: a good morning walk to stretch those long legs and burn off his boundless energy. Hank’s hobbies include: 🦴 Chewing water buffalo horns 🎾 Playing with Kong-style toys 🐿️ Patrolling the yard for squirrels with his furry foster brother (a 6-year-old male) 🌞 Sunbathing in his favorite warm spot Hank is current on vaccinations and preventatives, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative — ready to step right into your life. He would thrive in a home that can match his energy and continue helping him learn the ropes. If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who brings joy, laughter, and a bit of goofiness—Hank is your guy!

Story
Hello! I am a beautiful gal that was tranferred to OCAS from another shelter, and I need a good home! I generally love people, but I do not do well with small children (they overwhelm me), so I`ll need a home with only adults or older children that understand how to respect my boundaries. Thank you for considering me. I`m excited to become part of a loving home!

Who even is this stunning boy with the sparkling eyes? He is your new best friend of course. Meet Cade, a tiny nugget who was found abandoned outside at one day old with his siblings, but who has been wrapped in love and care ever since. He is sweet and cuddly, and based on looks alone we think he and his siblings are likely a type of Bulldog mix. He is sprinkled with merle patches that will make him forever stand out in the crowd. And as a growing pup he is currently learning crate training, potty training, and simply how to be adorable. Apply to meet him now at www.blazintrailsbottlebabies.org/adopt/

Story
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. He is sweet, happy, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. He is around 10 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 play fetch and enjoys walks and road trips.    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 knows basic commands like come, sit, drop, paw, etc. 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 walks. He has met one cat. He was not aggressive but was very interested. He might tolerate cats as he did learn to ignore our chickens. We feel Pluto could be with other dogs or as an only dog.    Pluto is crate trained; however, he is not crated at his foster home. He is well mannered so he is allowed unsupervised access to most of the house. He knows where he is allowed to go and what toys he can play with. Rarely will he chew up things he is not supposed to (he likes to tear up cardboard boxes). He is used to us being gone during the day for work and seems to spend most of the day sleeping or playing with our other dog.   As he ages, his back legs are getting weaker. He has learned how to swim, which has helped strengthen his muscles. He loves to swim and now gets overly excited when we visit the pool. Pluto would need an owner who is experienced in caring for an older, larger dog and give him the patience he needs. He requires extra time to get up and moving and assistance getting into vehicles.    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 for attention, but will keep himself busy chewing on toys or napping if you are busy. 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 Louis 🐾 — a laid-back, sweet-natured pup with a calm presence that instantly puts you at ease. Louis has a gentle, easygoing personality and loves spending time close to his people. He's on the quieter side and takes things at his own pace, but warms up beautifully once he feels comfortable. Potty training has gone remarkably well — Louis caught on to the routine fast, rarely has accidents indoors, and knows to hold it until he's outside. He's crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night. If you're looking for a calm, loving companion who is happy just to be near you, Louis is your guy. If you are interested in Louis, click Apply for Adoption! If you're on Adopt-a-Pet or PetFinder please visit https://www.hopeanimals.org/ to apply!

Taco is a sweet girl that comes with some baggage. She was found on the side of the road and now is a spoiled baby who loves to be tucked into bed at night. She does not get along with other dogs or cats. The perfect home for her would be her as the only pet in the house and given so much love.
