Story
(DOB 11/18/2022) Looking for the ultimate couch companion? Roscoe is your guy. With his great name and even greater heart, this gentle soul is happiest curled up indoors, lounging on the couch, or helping keep you warm at bedtime. He’s a certified sofa sloth and an excellent bed warmer, so be sure to save a little room for him, too! He’ll happily snuggle in and stay close to his people. This easygoing boy is happy with leisurely walks and is doing well with his leash manners. He doesn’t need a fenced yard and would be perfectly content in an apartment or condo (Note: he does have a fenced yard and doggie siblings at his foster home, and he enjoys that lifestyle, too). Roscoe would enjoy having a friendly canine companion, but he’d be just as happy as an only pup as long as he gets plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs. He’s social with other dogs, quiet, obedient, smart, and very food-motivated making continued confidence-building a positive and rewarding experience. Roscoe is writing a beautiful new chapter, and he’s learning every day that the world, and its people, can be a great place. With patience and love, he’s discovering that new people—and yes, even men—can be gentle, safe, and wonderful friends. He is good with kiddos and has not had an opportunity to meet any cats, yet. He may be a little shy at first, but once he feels secure, his sweet, sensitive nature truly shines. His foster family has shown him that love is real, and he’s responding with trust, loyalty, and lots of affection. If you are planning on taking Roscoe with you when you jump in the car, he is a little nervous when first getting into the car, but he relaxes as the ride goes on. Because he can be quick when startled, it’s important to keep doors, gates, and his martingale collar secure. Roscoe is already house trained and working on his crate training...remember he loves to be on the sofa with his people :). Let's not forget to mention how hunk-a-lish this guy is!! He has a big head with an even bigger heart! He has the cutest pink "lips" that are absolutely smoochable. He has these golden-brown eyes that just sparkle in the sun. If you’re ready to open your heart and your couch to a truly sweet and special dog, Roscoe is ready to meet you. As part of Roscoe’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet boy, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Roscoe, you can complete an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2605835##

Story
Sweet Tart is blossoming in her new world and absolutely soaking up all the love and attention! This pint-sized pittie is small in stature but huge in heart. Tart's deepest desire is to be with her people—she will happily follow you and cuddle up wherever you go, ensuring you always have a soft, warm companion. She is smart and very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze! She's now learning that she can play, be happy, and most importantly, be safe and cared for. Leash Skills Leash Manners: Walks like a dream on a leash! House Training: Mostly housebroken and continuing to improve. Car Rides: A fantastic traveler who rides really well in the car. Chews: Loves to relax and chew on a tasty bone. Compatibility Kids: Does wonderfully with children. Cats: Gets along great with cats. Other Dogs: Good with other dogs as long as they respect her space and don't try to engage her in play. Tart prefers calm company over rough-housing. Special Requirement Because of her size, Tart gets chilly easily! If the temperature dips below 60 degrees, she needs a cozy sweater to stay warm and happy. If you're looking for a warm, devoted, easy-going companion who will stick by your side and fill your lap with love, Tart is the perfect girl for you!

Story
Brindle in a bodacious package with a special little bit of everything is the recipe for what makes Lionel so special. Lionel is a pit bull mix adult dude who weighs about 60 lbs now and has a gorgeous brindle coat. It's quite likely nothing about Lionel's life has been easy so far and some prior trauma of some sort has left him with a bit of a head tilt that we wish he didn't have to endure, but by golly makes it seem like he is forever interested in what you are saying as he looks at you lovingly. Lionel is a precious soul who has just the right amount of energy but also can settle down and enjoy the slower things in life as well. He does well with lots of his doggo friends and does like to play a bit raucous at times as he s still a young man. That being said, Lionel is a dog's dog and is not going to fit into a home with cats. Pampering, believes Lionel, should be in his future and he could settle easily into many homes and certainly including the ones who love a pit bull love of snuggles and disregard for their size versus the size of your lap. Lionel is ready to roar on into your heart.... *Sleepover feedback: "We had a wonderful time with Lionel. He is a very sweet and loving boy. He seemed very comfortable with us. I hope he had a good experience like we did with him. Thank you for allowing us to host him. It’s a terrific program". *Additional feedback: "Lionel is the best boy. He is very sweet and snuggly. He did well on the leash and during the car ride. He seems to be potty trained. He did not love the crate, but really enjoyed sleeping on the couch / bed. He slept in late and did not wake us up to go outside too early. He is very quiet and loves meeting new people".
