Story
Woof Woof Hi~ My name is Briggs! I am just a ray of sunshine looking for my forever family to shine on. I may look mature but I’m only 5 years young! I would do best in a feline free home, but I have been able to be friendly with dogs of all sizes! I love a good butt scratch and belly rub while laying out in the grass. I’ve also been super fond of yummy meaty treats over biscuit treats and given the option, who wouldn`t? 13/10 would love to spend the rest of my life with you. I am full grown at ~51 lbs. How did I get here? Transferred from Harnett County Animal Shelter, where I came in as a stray. ~My adoption fee is $95.00.~

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    FOSTER DOG INFORMATION: Pluto is an affectionate, 70 pound, neutered male dog. He was found abandoned on the side of the road in October 2023 and is currently being fostered for Best Friend Pet Adoption.  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 all the people and dogs he has met. He especially likes people and loves cuddles and pets.  He plays well with the fosters two dogs but can be possessive over toys if boundaries are not set. He is house-trained and not possessive over food. He will sit by the door if he wants to go out. He knows to use the bathroom in the grass in the yard or in the grass while on walks.  Pluto seems to have been well cared for previously. He spends the day lounging on the couch, playing with his toys, and awaiting more belly rubs. Pluto is quiet. He will occasionally bark briefly when we get a package at the front door (but only if the package is set against the door) otherwise he does not make a sound. He will whine/bark briefly if left out in the yard longer than it takes him to use the bathroom.  He prefers leashed bathroom breaks so no fenced yard is needed.  He does pull some while walking on a leash. Mainly pulls towards houses (I think because he prefers being inside). We are working on improving his leash skills.   We have introduced Pluto to some kids and he did well.  He was on a leash and did very well. He does not seem to mind kids, but gives more attention to adults. He was fine with children running up to him, petting him, and grabbing at his face and ears.  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.  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 we keep him out all day even when we are not home. He knows where he is allowed to go and what toys he can play with.  When we work away from home, he does great. We have a camera to check up on him. He sleeps most of the day and occasionally plays with my other dogs or with a toy.  We feel he could be left home alone or with another dog.  At night Pluto sleeps on a couch, recliner, or dog bed depending on his preference. He does prefer to sleep on the bed with us. Due to his size and snoring, he typically sleeps on the couch in the living room. Pluto is very friendly and well trained. He is quiet, gentle, and spends most of the day sleeping. He is great during the day while we are at work and happy when we return. He is always ready to snuggle up next to you on the couch and receive pets. He sleeps through the night and rarely makes noise during the day. He gets along great with my dogs and we would keep him in heartbeat if we did not already have two dogs.     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 must 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 require applicants to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.   INTERESTED IN ADOPTING PLUTO?

Story
Introducing the one and only Madilyn, affectionately known as Maddie, a stunning Lab mix with a heart as big as her size! At 98 pounds, she's a powerhouse of love and energy, ready to charm her way into your heart.Maddie may be a bit shy at first, but give her some time, and you'll witness her blossoming into the most delightful companion. Her love for car rides is unparalleled – she'll happily keep you company while you run errands and even express her impatience with a friendly beep of the horn if you take too long.Despite her size, Maddie is a bundle of agility and energy. She loves a good game of chase, and her tug-of-war skills are unmatched. Fetch is a favorite pastime, and she'll eagerly return the ball, ready for another round.Currently on a weight loss journey, Maddie might not fully agree with her light meals, often attempting to negotiate for extra snacks. But don't be fooled by her attempts – she's committed to getting in shape and being the healthiest version of herself.Socialization has been a priority for Maddie, and she's been learning that the world is filled with kind and caring people. Continuing this socialization in her forever home is crucial to ensuring her continued growth and confidence.At night, Maddie transforms into the coziest cuddle buddy. Her snoring might keep you up, but her peaceful slumber will assure you that she's content and worry-free. She loves playing with other dogs, although she would do best as an only dog as she likes to try to assert her dominance over toys.Maddie thrives in a fenced backyard, running and playing to her heart's content. Walks on the trail are another favorite activity, and she walks beautifully on a leash. If you're looking for a loving, charming, and slightly mischievous companion who will fill your life with joy, Maddie is the girl for you. Don't be surprised if she tries to become one with you during cuddle sessions – she believes there's no such thing as too much love! Come meet Maddie, and discover the endless love and laughter she brings into every moment. Maddie is spayed, current on her preventatives and vaccinations, microchipped and ready to meet her family! If you are interested in a meet and greet with her, please complete an application on our website https://www.secondchancenc.org/adopt-a-pet/dog-adoption-application/***All dogs listed on our website are in private foster homes. To arrange a meet and greet with a dog, you MUST fill out the adoption application so that it can be sent to the foster parent for review to determine if your home is a match for the dog.

Story
Introducing Lucas, a dashing canine gentleman with a heart as big as frame! 🐕💙 This strapping 4-year-old boy, found as a stray, has a handsome demeanor that's sure to turn heads. Just watch out for his infectious excitement - he can't help but jump for joy when it's time for his beloved walks and he may even try to dash out the door ahead of you. If you're looking for a loyal and spirited buddy, Lucas might just be the charming companion you've been searching for.Lucas is one of our long-timers who came in to the shelter in August 2023. He has been adopted and returned 2 times-once for breed restrictions and once for not getting along with the resident cat. So he has only been out of the shelter for a total of 20 days since August. Lucas gets very excited when it's his turn to go outside-he collars easily, and even though he is a big boy. He does not pull on leash, enjoys strolling, sniffing, and rolling in the cool grass for a belly rub. He likes to keep his kennel clean-is on the potty list-so he tries very hard to do his business outside.A reminder of the potty rules is always needed when in a new home environment. Lucas does need to be the only dog in the home. He did not have good manners when taken to the play yard with a female friend for a play date--therefore it is recommended that Lucas be your one and only pet in the house. Lucas also isn't a fan of cats. Lucas can be very stoic but can also be a funny goofball--won't you come and meet him today-take him home-and be his family to loveIf you're interested in learning more about Lucas, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Lucas 243575."Lucas is ready to go home today - he is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and is already neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
