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 Marley - The 90-Pound Gentle Goofball! Marley is a giant sweetheart wrapped in a 90-pound package of joy. This big boy might look impressive, but on the inside he's basically a puppy-silly, soft, and eager to make friends.He's wonderfully polite, too. Marley knows how to sit and takes treats gently, showing off his excellent manners. When meeting new people, he doesn't jump-he simply drops into an enthusiastic play bow, as if to say, "Hi! Wanna be best friends?" He's a lovable galoot through and through.In the kennel, Marley can be a bit barky, but once he's out in the yard, he's all fun and games. Before his playmate even arrived, he busted out the zoomies to let everyone know he was ready to party. In playgroups, Marley is a big meaty boy with a heart of gold. He offers fantastic play bows, loves lively play, and brings cheerful energy to the whole yard.Marley is the perfect combo of gentle manners and goofy charm. If you're looking for a big-hearted buddy who'll bring endless smiles and silliness into your life, Marley might be your guy.If you're interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Marley, 260045".He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 86 Age: 5yrs 7mths 3wks

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Hello! My name is Tank! I'm a 4 year old boxer mix that is ready to be your one true love!  Life has not been the best for me. I had a home but my owner had to give me up. He couldn't care for me, and I had significant hair loss. I was at the shelter for a long time and then this weird thing happened, my shelter home started flooding. I hear people say it was something about a hurricane named Helene. Anyways, this nice lady rescued me, but then her home flooded too! Long story short, Pawfect Match took me in and here I am, looking for a home.  So now that you know my story let me tell you a little about me. I currently live with my foster dad. It's just me and him. He gives me the best belly rubs, which I love sooooo much! He also plays tug-of-war with me and fetch. Those are my favorite games. In return, I'm a good boy. I use the potty outside and make sure to get in his lap for cuddles so he knows how much I love him!  Foster dad says I'm a funny guy! I can be a bit dramatic sometimes. Like when foster dad is busy and can't pet me or play with me, I give him a little huff so he knows I'm still here. When foster dad finally remembers me, I do this funny thing when foster dad pets me and I bend my whole body over his leg. I will also stand on him while he sits on the couch just so he remembers I'm there.  I do all the things most dogs do like potty outside. I'm good in a crate and I never destroy anything in the house. I really don't know why I'm not adopted! I do need to be an only dog but trust me, I'm all the love you need. Please consider adopting me today. I really want to know what a forever home feels like! If it's half as good as a foster home, then I know I'll love it!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › You'll never meet a snugglier guy! Bruce loves to love and will greet you with a wiggly butt, the softest brown eyes, and the ultimate snuggle session every time you come home.  His second favorite thing after snuggles? Tennis balls! Although, they're less for fetching and more for throwing and carrying around. Bruce is a lower energy guy and doesn't require a whole lot of exercise. A short walk and some time in the yard and he's right back to snoring on the couch.  Bruce is a champ at reading other dogs and will adjust his playstyle and level of engagement based on what they're comfortable with. His current foster sister isn't a big fan of other dogs and he is incredibly respectful of her space. He's even lived with small dogs before and is a perfect gentleman with the kitties in his foster home!  Bruce would really love to have another dog in the home to make the time pass quicker when you're gone. While he struggled with separation distress at first, he's built lots of confidence in his foster home and found a great, cheap medication that makes his separation distress very manageable.  When you return home, he'll show off his favorite trick- a big hug! He knows some other basic cues like sit, down, place, and stay, and he is potty trained and leash trained. He'd love to snuggle in your bed and ensure you have the sweetest dreams, but he'll settle for a dog bed on the floor if that's not your style. If you're good at giving belly rubs and have a dog that wants a buddy, you've found your guy! You won't find a more sweet natured pup!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 9, 2025, 9:34 pm
